After Olivia made that remark, Jewel strolled over. Christoff looked at them with a bewildered expression and asked, âWhat?
Donât you want to know where Eugene is?â âI wonder if your men are capable of such things.â âOf course, I do. Say something flattering to convince me, and Iâll tell you.â
âDo you have a death wish?â âDo you converse with Eugene in this manner?â he inquired with his brow furrowed. With a poker face, Olivia stared at him. âYou arenât him, and he isnât as irritating as you!â
âIs he that good?â âBetter than you.â Then, Christoff arched his brows and stared at her with utter fascination. âFine. I guess you wonât give up if I donât show it to you. What do you know about Nambahd?â
When she saw his serious expression, she nodded and explained, âIâve heard about King Hayes Nambâs ascension to the throne. His uncle, Sirius Namb, attempted to usurp the throne, and they engaged in a drawn-out battle before Hayes could successfully ascend to the throne.â
Christoff replied, âYes, and can you guess where he is now?â Suddenly, Oliviaâs heart sank as she asked, âWhat? He canât possibly be at Nambahd Palace, can he?â
âHeâs in Siriusâ City Palace,â he corrected her. âWhat is he doing there?â
âDo you know what he is doing there?â
âWhat?â Christoff turned his head to look at Olivia and smiled. âHave you heard of Azalea Namb, Siriusâ daughter?â âYes, I have heard that she is stunning, but she isnât married yet,â she answered. Nevertheless, he kept dropping hints to her. âThen, do you know whom she is expecting?â
Her brow furrowed, and she had an inkling. when she noticed a grin on his face, but she insisted on asking, âWho?â âEugene.â
Olivia asserted firmly, âNo way!â Christoff shrugged and inquired, âDo you dare to come with me?â
âWhere to?â She continued to be skeptical of him. After getting to his feet, he responded, âLetâs go to City Palace, and Iâll show you.â Christoffâs words threw Oliviaâs thoughts off, and she flatly refused, âNo, because I donât trust you.â
At that moment, Jewel moved closer, embraced Olivia, and started signing to her. âYou must have faith in Eugene, who likes you so much! There is no way that he will ever get involved with Azalea.
He quietly observed them while his arms were folded. âWhy would I deceive you? Anyway, you have overheard my phone conversation with my men earlier, they discovered that today is Azaleaâs birthday banquet, and Sirius plans to marry her to Eugene. Your man may no longer be yours if you show up late.â
Then, Jewel gave him a stern look and warned him, âEnough with the nonsense. Eugene has come to investigate the matter involving the amusement park. Why would he attend the banquet celebrating her birthday at City Palace?â
Her warning caused his expression to falter. âIt is entirely up to you whether or not to accept. that. Furthermore, Iâm invited to Azaleaâs birthday party. If you choose not to attend, I will.â Following that, he got up and walked out. As she watched him walk away, Olivia hurriedly called out, âWait-â
Christoff halted in his tracks and around to face her. âI told you, if I wanted to hurt you two, I wouldnât have gone through all this trouble.â
She expressed her regret after experiencing. some pangs of guilt. âI understand, and weâre just naturally suspicious of everyone.
Is it true that you can enter the City Palace?â
âEugene is not the only person with a support system. Anyone in our circle has a connection!â Christoff emphasized. âWeâll come with you!â
âI canât bring two women.â
âFine. Iâll come alone with you.â As soon as Jewel heard that, she pulled Oliviaâs arm and asked, âAre you going to follow him without question? How well do you know him?â
