Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1409

Chapter 1409 Nowhere Near as Brilliant as You Are

Upon finishing his words, Eugene turned around and made his way into Albert's residence without even looking back. At the same time, River was impressed by Olivia's quick wit, wishing he could give her a thumbs up openly. That was awesome, Miss Maxwell!

He then took another look at Beatrix's bitter look, feeling satisfied with her humiliation. Nonetheless, he was bound by formality and courtesy to tell the princess about Albert's status. "Your Highness, Mr. Bleu has gone to the palace and will only be back tonight. So, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

With a darkened look on her face, Beatrix, who couldn't stand being humiliated by Olivia, vented out her anger on River by landing a kick on him without hesitation. "Who do you think you are?!"

Fearing the consequences that might follow, River was too timid to dodge the kick as he braced for impact. Although it didn't hurt a lot, he felt insulted and embarrassed by the princess' outrageous behavior. After all, he had seen enough to know that Beatrix's attitude was despicable, having traveled with Albert to many countries where he had the opportunity to witness different cultures.

After successfully keeping his footing, River kept his head down and said, "I'm just a nobody, Your Highness. I'm absolutely not even worth your time lecturing, in fact. Furthermore, I reckon you must have some other important business to take care of, so please leave."

As soon as River finished his sentence, Beatrix grew even madder. She then took two steps closer to him and mocked him. "I didn't expect you to be so passive-aggressive after all these days you spent with Albert. It's my own decision to make whether I'm leaving or staying. Don't forget your place!"

She made her way into Albert's residence upon finishing her sentence.

River panicked, knowing Beatrix was on her way to stir up more trouble with Eugene and Olivia. Thus, he hurriedly caught up to her and gave her a suggestion. "Your Highness, Mr. Bleu is not in at the moment. Perhaps I could call him for you if you have something urgent to discuss with him."

Wanting to dissuade Beatrix from escalating the conflict, River was also hoping to warn her not to do anything silly.

Nevertheless, Beatrix turned around and gave him a cold glare, telling him off. "I know Albert is not in, but can't I wait for him inside? Now, be a good servant and stay out of my way!"

Although River tried to catch up to the princess in an attempt to prevent her from doing something silly, he failed to do so when Beatrix impatiently ordered her guards behind her to do something. "Stop him!"

As the guards stood in his way, River could only refrain from fighting back because he was too timid toward the princess' guards. Thus, he anxiously shouted to Beatrix. "Your Highness, Mr. Nolan and Miss Maxwell are not just invited by Mr. Bleu to treat General Bleu, but also his honored guests."

"Honored guests? I'd like to find that out myself and see how honored they are. Not everybody deserves to set foot in Albert's residence!" Look at River! He is nervous because of this, isn’t he? Beatrix grunted, wondering to herself in frustration.

As she was talking to River, Beatrix made her way into Albert's Residence with airs and graces.

Meanwhile, Eugene was wiping the sweat off Olivia's forehead with a handkerchief, reassuring her that everything was going to be in their favor. "Don't worry, I don't think you both are biological sisters," he said with a gloomy expression on his face.

Olivia poked Eugene's cheek and chuckled in amusement. "How can you tell?"
