If she finds out I have the necklace, she might issue a kill order without finding out how I

came to possess the necklace. As for Albert, I'm still not sure which side he is on. If he's

the queen's enemy, he can use the necklace to snatch the throne away from her, and I'd

be nothing but their pawn, Olivia thought to herself. Even though she might be a

descendant of Eurosia's royalty, she didn't care. Not when her life was on the line. So what

if they were related by blood? Many people would kill their families for power, especially

those born to royalty.

Albert was in a rut. He had been out for so long yet still made no progress. Olivia was his

only lead, yet she refused to admit that she had the necklace and was trying to find out

the reason behind his sudden visit. He was starting to wonder if she was simply curious or

if she actually had the necklace and was just waiting for him to be honest before she

would show anything.

"Miss Maxwell, you're a smart and beautiful woman, and you're Eugene's girlfriend, too. I

don't think you would be interested in anything that is none of your business. Thus, I

believe you do have the necklace, but you won't admit it for some reason. Is it because of

me? Do you wish to have more honesty from me?"
