Chapter 852
Olivia undoubtedly did not believe Christoff and commented, "Then, you should be prepared for the possibility that
your journey will not go according to plan and it will involve some inherent dangers. Isn't it too much of a price to
pay to make a new friend?"
He smiled and replied, "Aren't you even a bit moved by my help?"
"No. I don't want to be a burden to anyone," she explained and was eager to leave.
Then, Christoff advised, "The truth is that neither of you will be able to find him. You may also encounter dangerous
circumstances, whereas I will not. Since I have clout over there, I'll have no trouble finding someone. Moreover, I
suggest you convince her to stay home rather than squander time with me here."
Jewel promptly rejected his suggestion. "No, I have to follow her."

"I don't care. I won't let Olivia go with you," she insisted.
However, Olivia reasoned that his words made sense, and she reiterated, "Jewel, you went through a lot to get
where you are today. So, stop interfering with my problem!"
Jewel frowned and stated, "Don't bother trying to persuade me. I'm not going anywhere without you." I can't just let
you go on your own, especially not when you're with Christoff.
Then, he insisted, "Fine. If you want, let's go together. Don't waste time, or we'll be late for the flight."
At that moment, Olivia stared warily at Christoff, wondering if he was a friend or foe. Consequently, how could she
possibly go with him?
He tried to reassure her, "Don't worry. If I had intended to hurt you, I wouldn't have gone to all this trouble."
Olivia and Jewel exchanged glances, but Christoff's patience had run out, so he asked coldly, "What? Are you
expecting me to threaten you now?"
She drew a deep breath, held Jewel's hand, and entered his car. This man is so annoying!
Once Olivia was buckled in, he sat next to her and said, "Miss Fenton, please sit in the front." Jewel was displeased,
but she restrained herself from expressing her feelings because she relied on them.
While riding in the car, Olivia questioned, "May I ask how you transformed into an entirely different person?"
Suddenly, Christoff leaned in on purpose and asked coyly, "Do you want to learn?"
She knitted her brows slightly and avoided him. "Mr. Stevenson, I can tell you're a gentleman, but with all due
respect, may I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Can you please not lean in so close to me as you talk?"
Christoff was taken aback by Olivia's inquiry but quickly responded with a grin, "Will I appear impolite if I decline

She looked at him and replied, "I'm sure you can figure it out."
"To be honest, how I behave depends on the person. If it means spending time with you, I don't mind pretending to
be a well-mannered gentleman. You're a beauty, you know that? Every beauty gets the final say."
Olivia's lips twitched as she snorted, "Don't flirt with me the same way you flirt with young chicks. I'm not going to
fall into your trap."
However, Christoff remained obstinate and moved closer to her. "Does that mean I don't need to behave
gentlemanly around you?"
At that moment, she did not attempt to avoid him but instead inched closer to him. He was bewildered as to why
she behaved in such a manner, and he was curious when she became so brazen. Suddenly, she reached up, jabbed
a silver needle into the back of his neck, and said, "You're right. We should behave differently depending on the
person, but since you don't believe me when I try to be polite, I have no choice but to be harsh on you."
Christoff initially failed to grasp the meaning of Olivia's words. However, as time passed, he became aware that
something was wrong with his left arm and that numbness was beginning to spread across it.
