Chapter 1264 She Has a Boyfriend
Eugene instinctively pulled Olivia into an embrace as he glared at Albert with eyes that sent shivers down the man’s spine. Even so, he was extremely courteous when he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Bleu. Neither Olivia nor I are ungrateful individuals. I’ll remember what you’ve done for us tonight. Let us know if there’s anything you need in the future. For now, we should be heading home.” He then led her away, not giving her a single chance to object.
Nonetheless, she glanced at his angry expression before turning around to say to Albert, “We’ll be leaving now, Mr. Bleu. You should drop by the clinic tomorrow to get your wounds treated.”
Albert smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
On the other hand, Alex and Jewel politely bid Albert farewell before leaving.
In just a few minutes, the only people left in the room were Albert and River.
Meanwhile, Albert silently smiled as he watched the two couples walk away.
However, River frowned and asked, “Why do I feel like Eugene was upset?”
Albert’s smile did not falter as he replied, “That is only because we saved Olivia. Otherwise, he might be worse than upset with us.”
Still, River did not understand what he meant and asked again, “What do you mean?”
Albert shot him a disdainful look and scolded, “That’s because I just said I wanted to befriend his girlfriend right in front of him.”
“What about it? You’re not looking to be her boyfriend. Is there a need to be so upset?”
“The more capable someone is, the more possessive they are. Irrespective of our motives, he would not want us to befriend his darling girlfriend,” Albert stated.
After hearing this, River thoughtfully nodded. “True. It’s also worse because we want her necklace.” Suddenly, a flashback to the earlier events at the dinner table flooded his mind. “Sir, why didn’t you ask Olivia to give you the necklace today?”
Albert sighed and answered, “I don’t want her to think I’m that dishonorable, that I am someone who will instantly demand compensation right after doing her a favor.”
Still befuddled, River decided to ask, “Is that not our goal? Why should we risk being discovered just to become her friend’s alibi? Why did we risk our lives to save them? It’s not too much to ask for some compensation after so much we have done for her, right?”
