Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1407

Chapter 1407 Defiance

Olivia nodded understandingly, but even so, she knew she couldn't stay in the car forever. Thus, she stepped out of the vehicle along with the rest.

In the meantime, Beatrix, who seemingly heard the commotion, turned around and fixed her gaze on Olivia. As soon as she saw her and the others, she froze for a moment, especially when she noticed Eugene's presence. The next second, her heart skipped a beat and started to race like a jackhammer. How handsome! The aura he is giving off is full of masculine energy. It's obvious that he is no ordinary person.

Despite the thought of that, Beatrix quickly pulled herself together and reminded herself of her own place. I'm the princess of this country, so even though I have a crush on him, I must protect my pride and decency without revealing my feelings. After all, I could have any man I want with my status.

Beatrix opined that it was Eugene's fortune and honor for her to lay eyes on him.

Meanwhile, River wasn't fond of Beatrix's character, but in spite of that, he was still forced to greet her formally and courteously. "Your Highness." He walked up to Beatrix and greeted her.

"I thought you went off looking for the genius doctor? When did you come back?" Beatrix took her eyes off Eugene and asked about the matter at hand.

"Two days ago," River replied.

"Did you find the doctor then?" Beatrix sized him up.

"Yes, I did," River answered.

"Where is he then? Take me to him. Did you guys run a background check on whoever this person is? You should know how much General Bleu means to Eurosia. For that, you ought to take extra precautions about anyone who gets close to her."

"Rest assured, Your Highness. Mr. Bleu has already taken care of that matter. They are absolutely reliable and trustworthy."

"Do you seriously think it's okay to listen to him? Albert is soft and gullible. Furthermore, his judgment is clouded by his emotions as he is too disturbed by his godmother's condition, which would leave him susceptible to schemes and lies. Have you forgotten about the time he hired a lousy doctor to see General Bleu? Her condition got worse and worse after that. So, take me to this doctor at once! I'll test his skills and see what he is made of for myself." Beatrix grunted coldly.

Not knowing what to say in response, River turned his attention to Eugene and Olivia. When Beatrix noticed his reaction, she followed his line of sight and fixed his gaze upon them. "And who might these two be?" she asked.

After a brief hesitation, River introduced the couple to Beatrix. "This is Mr. Nolan, and the lady beside him is Miss Maxwell, who is also the genius doctor that Mr. Bleu engaged to treat General Bleu."

Upon hearing that, Beatrix was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief. At the same time, she pointed at Olivia in surprise, unable to believe her ears and eyes. "Did you just say she is the genius doctor?"

In fact, she thought Olivia and Eugene were just Albert's ordinary friends, which she didn't find surprising due to his wide network of connections. Therefore, when she finally learned that Olivia was the genius doctor with the help of Eugene, she couldn't help but find it absurd.

"What do you think a young doctor like her can do? Are you seriously telling me she is the genius doctor? You've got to be kidding me because she looks like a phony to me."

On the other hand, River furrowed his eyebrows slightly because he didn't want to boast and end up having to eat his own words as a result. At the same time, he was also worried that Beatrix would resort to dirty tricks to set Olivia up after learning what she was capable of. Thus, he chose his words carefully and said, "No, Miss Maxwell is indeed a doctor."

Beatrix sneered and raised her head, walking closer to Eugene and Olivia with airs and graces. Deep down, she thought the two of them would bow down to her out of formality just like River did, considering the fact that she was Eurosia's respected and worshiped princess. Besides, every doctor whom Albert hired in the past also bowed to Beatrix when they saw her because they would rather lose their chances of charging high fees than rub the princess the wrong way. Therefore, she became frustrated when Eugene and Olivia didn't respond, even though she was already close to them.

What's on their mind? Are they asking for trouble or something? But… Beatrix hid her unhappiness and fixed her gaze upon Eugene, trying to act as if she cared about her people. "Do you guys know who I am?" she asked with a sympathetic tone.

In the meantime, Olivia noticed the subtle change in Beatrix's reaction, knowing she was interested in her husband. D*mn! What should I do to stop her from harassing my husband?! When she glimpsed Eugene and noticed that he didn't even bother to look at Beatrix, she was instantly relieved. Happy and relaxed, she smiled and said, "Guess what? We don't know who you are."

At that moment, Beatrix curled her lips upward and formed a sneer on her face. She then called out to River without even looking back. "River."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
