The next day, Beatrix submitted the evidence, which was a list of personnel from Double Dragon Court who stole the heirloom necklace of blue sapphires in Eurosia. Olivia, Jewel, and George's names were clearly stated on it.
Doreen calmly finished reading it and ordered someone to put it aside, not even bothering to reply to Beatrix.
How could Beatrix endure such injustice?
No action was taken after the evidence was submitted. Wasn't this obvious favoritism?
Why is everyone siding with that thief?
In anger, she went home and poured her heart out to Lucian.
How could Lucian bear to see his beloved daughter being upset? With that, he started to mobilize various Cabinet Consuls to confront Alice, forcing her to explain the matter about Olivia. He then made a phone call.
"Back then, did Olivia give you a fake necklace, or did you give me a fake necklace?"
A sinister voice came from the other end. "What do you mean?"
"Olivia is with me, and she still has the blue sapphire necklace of Eurosia. Did she deceive you, or did you conspire to deceive me?" Lucian asked.
"That's impossible. She only brought back one necklace at that time, and I don't think she would dare to deceive me," the man said.
Hearing that, Lucian sneered, "Then, investigate this matter. I hope you can give me a perfect explanation; otherwise, Double Dragon Court is looking for trouble with me."
After hanging up the phone, a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
Olivia, you're digging your own grave. Do you think you'll be fine just because you're not in Double Dragon Court anymore?
Let's see if they still want to let you off if they knew that you secretly kept the necklace for yourself!
Alice had originally planned to say that the video was synthesized and then look for Ada and the guard who stole Olivia's bag, proving that they framed her.
But Olivia felt that doing so would only clear her suspicion and wouldn't do anything to Lucian.
And everyone knew that Alice was protecting her, so the investigation results wouldn't convince anyone.
Thus, they decided to drag it out for a few more days to wait for Albert's investigation results and the results of the paternity test.
If the paternity test results showed that they were sisters, things would be easier to handle.
After all, she was also a princess of Eurosia.
Three days later.
The paternity test results for Olivia and Alice came out. Just as everyone had expected, it was confirmed that they were indeed sisters.
Albert hadn't appeared at the Governor General's residence these past few days. One reason was that he was busy investigating the matter, and the other reason was that he couldn't face Olivia. Today, he appeared with the investigation report.
Eugene had arranged for bodyguards to come. Although they couldn't match Lucian's guards, they should still be able to protect his wife.
Under Olivia's treatment, Doreen's condition was also improving. She could speak without saying one word at a time and even talk in complete sentences when anxious.
Although she still couldn't move her arms and legs, she could lift her hands much more now.
She looked livelier, and her spirit improved a lot.
After spending these past few days with Olivia, Doreen understood Olivia more, making her feel even more sorry.
They talked about her foster parents, why she ran away for seven years, and how she became an assassin in Double Dragon Court.
In those previous years, she had a relatively stable life. They weren't well-to-do, but they had a peaceful life. But since she ran away, she couldn't imagine how she managed to survive those seven years.
It was a life and death trial, where she would either live or face death.
Although she was an assassin, she still felt fortunate that she was the one who survived.
Every time Doreen thought about it, she felt immense guilt. It was their fault. If they had been more careful in their search, perhaps Olivia could have lived a princess' life like Beatrix, with servants attending to her every day, without having to run around with no place to return to, and without being forced to become an assassin for survival.
