Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1421

Chapter 1421 I Can Have You Killed

Alice interrupted Beatrix, saying, "Enough. The more you say, the more absurd it becomes. I've already said that the hereditary necklace is with me. How could it be lost? General Bleu is also getting better. It's not as bad as you described."

Beatrix replied, "Alright. Then, let's check the bag Miss Maxwell brought first. If there's nothing in it, I will obey Your Majesty's arrangement. If there is something in there that doesn't belong to her, Your Majesty, there's no need to investigate further. She is undoubtedly the thief. What do you all think?" The people who were whispering to each other just now all spoke up.

"Yes. Your Majesty, we'll only be checking what Miss Maxwell brought with her. It shouldn't be a big deal. This way, Miss Maxwell can clear her name, right?"

"That's right. Better safe than sorry. If she really is a thief, she might have already succeeded by now."

"It's just a simple inspection. Miss Maxwell shouldn't object to it either since it's an opportunity for her to prove herself."

Alice's face turned serious. "Absolute nonsense. If Miss Maxwell really is a thief, would she still be waiting here to be caught?"

Beatrix sneered and glanced tauntingly at Olivia. "Maybe she's hoping that we won't find anything."

Olivia laughed as soon as she heard that. She had been listening for a while and had already gone from panic to calm.

Since Alice wanted to defend her, she naturally could not contradict Alice.

Olivia took a step forward with a defiant look. "Putting aside your flawed story, just your aggressive attitude makes me deeply suspicious of something. Do you not want me to treat General Bleu? One moment you want me to diagnose you, and if I don't, it means I'm afraid and not skilled enough. Then, you show this video, accusing me of being a thief and a fraud. I really wonder when Eurosia has changed its ruler for a princess like you to have the final say."

Beatrix narrowed her eyes. "The Queen is soft-hearted, especially when it comes to General Bleu. She has always hoped that he can recover as soon as possible, so she's easily fooled by people like you. However, I'm not so easy to deal with. If you want to treat General Bleu, you have to pass my test. I don't care if I'll be cursed out by thousands of people. I won't give you any chance."

Olivia sneered. "Pass your test? Haven't you heard? Doctor Bailey's consultation fee starts at one million. He's always been mysterious and unrestrained, only treating those whom destiny says he should treat. Do you know what that means? It means that if I want to treat someone, I will treat them. If I don't want to treat them, I won't! You're just a nobody!"

"You…"

Beatrix was almost breathless from anger. "How dare you disrespect me! Don't you know I can have you killed whenever I want?"

Olivia calmly responded, "Do you think you are above the law just because you're a princess? Is there no need to back up one's boasting these days?"

Beside herself with fury, Beatrix said to Alice, "Your Majesty, do you see this? She's so arrogant. Isn't she blatantly lying her way out of this? Why don't you just lock her up?"

Alice frowned and coldly said, "Beatrix, that's enough. I don't need you to interfere with how I handle things. Leave now!"

Beatrix was unwilling to go and turned to Olivia. "Since you're not a thief, do you dare to let us see what's in your bag?"

Olivia remained calm. "In our country, no one has the right to search others without a search warrant. It violates our right to personal freedom. Although I am in a foreign country, we were also invited here. Without substantial evidence, you have no right to do anything to us. However..."

She turned around and looked at the surveillance footage. "I have a question for the esteemed Princess. This video doesn't look like actual surveillance footage. This room also seems to be a very confidential and important place, right? That means you secretly placed a video recorder in this room. What did you want to achieve? Ha! It can't possibly be for catching thieves, can it?" From NôvelDrama.Org.

There was a hint of mockery in her smile.

Beatrix was taken aback. She had indeed overlooked this matter and had forgotten to ask her father where he got the video. Still, it was clearly not real surveillance footage.
