Chapter 1248 Our Turning Point

"That woman is a lunatic! I wanted to relieve myself, but what had I done to bother her? If it were someone else, they would've ended up dead with their arm broken!"

However, Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "She wanted to silence you permanently."

After hearing this, River furrowed his brow and grunted, "I don't even know her. Why would she want to kill me?"

Then, Albert looked at him and spoke with a slightly cold tone. "Brett is dead, right? She could be the murderer, so why would she keep a witness like you alive?"

A light bulb went off in River's head, and he immediately understood what the man said. "Ah, I see, but why did she kill Brett? Wasn't Jewel the one who wanted to kill her?"

"It's unlikely to be Jewel. If she had intended to murder Brett, she would have done it that night instead of allowing Brett to be hospitalized."

River nodded and replied, "You're right."

After that, Albert raised an eyebrow and said, "Perhaps, this can be our turning point."


Nonetheless, River didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Sir, what do you mean?"

Suddenly, Albert looked at him disdainfully and said, "I'll visit the clinic tomorrow."

The next day, just as Eugene and Alex were leaving, Olivia received a call from Albert.

She wasn't sure if she should answer because there was no caller ID, but she recognized the number as the one that called her yesterday. What could he want from me? Perhaps, he likely wants to inquire about the necklace without any sincerity. While she was deliberating, the caller had already hung up.

Immediately after, she received a text message from the same number. 'Miss Maxwell, I want to discuss Brett's case with you.'

After reading the message, she was momentarily stunned. How did he know about Phantom?

Nevertheless, Olivia hadn't even had time to process what was happening when the phone rang again, as if the caller had anticipated her reluctance to pick up. This time, she decided to respond because it was related to Jewel, and there might be a chance for a turning point in this case.

"Mr. Bleu, what do you want?"

On the other hand, Albert sounded upbeat, as if he was delighted that she had answered his call. "Miss Maxwell, can we meet in person to discuss this issue?"

Olivia furrowed her brow but still asked patiently, "Where?"

"How about the restaurant where we last met?"

Then, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay." After hanging up the phone, she informed Ellen and went to find Shannon to accompany her.
