Chapter 1197 Reason
“Sure, I’ll do it in a bit,” said Jewel. “But what will you do now? Are you going to see him?”
George was getting more and more confused as their conversation went on, and he quickly asked, “What? Why is Eurosia roped into this?”
“Oh, right.” Olivia looked at him. “Remember that necklace we stole from them, George?”
“Of course, I remember. I almost swam my way into a watery grave, you know. How could I possibly forget about it?” There’s no way I could forget that. That mission changed our lives, he thought to himself.
Olivia felt her stomach churning as memories from back then flooded her mind. The three of them almost died after that mission. When Joseph found out they failed to get the real necklace, George took the brunt of the blame so Olivia and Jewel could be safe. Olivia could never forget how badly they were wounded back then, and her senior was even bedridden for a long time.
The ladies were punished, too, but not as badly as George. He almost died back then. The people from Double Dragon Court had only tossed him into the sea as they thought he couldn’t survive the beating. It was brutal, and even Olivia once thought he would die. Thus, it was a miracle he was talking to them right now. “George—” Olivia started.
Before she could say anything further, he interrupted, “Alright, stop with the melancholy. I’m fine. You mentioned they are searching for the necklace just now. By the necklace, do you mean the one which serves as the proof of the heir?”
“Yes.” She nodded. “That’s the one.”
Alright, this is getting even more confusing. “But the queen’s still alive and in power, right? Why are they searching for the necklace? For a coup?” George asked.
George was in disbelief. “Do you have the necklace with you? Let me see it.”
Olivia looked miffed. “No. I don’t lug it along with me everywhere I go.”
The man calmed down for a moment. “I see. If that’s the case, you might truly be a princess.”
Out of instinct, she argued, “No way. If I were a princess, I wouldn’t have been abandoned and come to Criecia. This is either a coincidence or my necklace is a fake as well. The girl did tell us they made a lot of fakes.”
Jewel stared at her intently. “But you’re getting worried, or you wouldn’t have cared about Eurosia. Furthermore, you’re a good appraiser, so you must know whether the necklace is fake. You just can’t find a good reason to explain why you have the necklace or why you were abandoned.”
