Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1454 On the Brink of Death

Lucian looked at the people who had turned against him, feeling furious to the point that every part of his body ached.

He had underestimated this young girl. No! He had underestimated that man—Eugene Nolan.

He narrowed his eyes fiercely. "Even if I framed Olivia Maxwell for the Tears of the Ocean necklace, the video is real, right? It's true that she stole the necklace five years ago, right? And the sapphire necklace fell out of her bag, too, didn't it? How do you explain all of that?"

Alice sneered icily, "Trying to drag someone down with you when you're on the brink of death? Very well, I will clarify it for you, Lucian!"

At that, she turned to the crowd and asked, "Do you all remember that our country's sapphire necklace is hereditary, and do you remember who issued the hereditary system for the sapphire necklace?"

The people in the room, now resembling obedient schoolchildren, eagerly answered, "Queen Blanchett."

Alice continued, "Yes, my mother. But do you all know why my mother said that inheriting the throne required the sapphire necklace?"

The crowd whispered among themselves, but no one responded.

Alice didn't expect them to answer either and continued, " General Bleu only told me about this after falling ill. My mother was seeing my father—my real father, Zachary Quaver, not Lucian—before she ascended the throne. My great-grandmother, the former queen, separated them because she thought my father's humble background wasn't suitable for my mother. She even arranged a marriage for my father to dissuade my mother from pursuing him. On my father's wedding day, my mother found out she was pregnant. She didn't want to ruin my father's wedding, was afraid of my great-grandmother finding out about her pregnancy, and didn't want to see sisters fighting against each other. So, she willingly gave up the throne and left for Criecia.

"However, Titiana wasn't convinced that my mother had willingly given up the throne. She sent people to search for my mother. On one occasion, when Titiana was pursuing her, she happened to be in a hospital getting her child treated. She had no choice but to leave the child in a doctor's office and was captured by Titiana. This incident is no secret in Eurosia, and I'm sure you've all heard of it. So, I won't repeat it.

"What I want to say today is that the reason my mother instituted the rule of inheriting the throne with the sapphire necklace is that she gave the sapphire necklace to the child she left in the doctor's office, which is my sister, The Crown Princess of Eurosia!"

With Alice's revelation, the crowd erupted into a tumult.

"What does this mean? Are you saying that the former queen had another child?"

"Yeah, I only heard about the former queen being captured by Titiana and outsmarting her, but when did she have another child?"
