Chapter 854: Chapter 856

“I don’t know, but he is right. If he wants to hurt me, he doesn’t need to go to all that trouble when there are plenty of opportunities for him.”

Jewel would resort to using sign language whenever she started to feel anxious. ‘Do you know what he’ll do once he gets into City Palace? Either I’ll go with you or you won’t. I can’t let you take the risk on your own.’

Olivia comforted Jewel by patting her hand and whispered, “It’s fine. He can’t hurt me.” Then, she walked toward Christoff. As she walked up to him, he cracked a grin. “Have you made your decision?”

Suddenly, Jewel walked toward them and insisted, “Let me go with you.” “I told you it would be inconvenient.” “Dress me as your bodyguard and let me tag along, or I won’t let Olivia leave with you.”

Christoff sneered, “Can’t you gauge the gravity. of the situation? You are the one who begged me to take you there. Do you believe it would be acceptable for you to negotiate terms with me?”

Olivia comforted her and suggested, ‘Jewel, let’s split up and carry out the task separately. You investigate the amusement park where the rope snapped, and Mr. Stevenson and I will head to City Palace to locate Eugene. In case you stumble upon any leads, please let me know.”

“Olivia-

Jewel firmly grasped Olivia’s arm and insisted, “How do I tell Eugene the bad news if something happens to you?” “I’ll be fine.”

Olivia reassured Jewel by patting her hands, then she turned to Christoff and prompted, “Let’s go.” “Are you planning to attend the banquet with that?” As he smiled wickedly, she wrinkled her brows. So, what?”

He elaborated, “First, I want you to know that you are accompanying me as my girlfriend. Second, you must refrain from taking unauthorized actions and prying into other people’s affairs, regardless of how intriguing. they may appear. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you if something bad happens. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t involve me in anything.”

In response to Christoff’s lengthy explanation, Olivia frowned and stated in a stern tone, “I’m going to look for Eugene. Get me inside, and I’ll handle everything else.”

“Are you aware that City Palace is unlike any other place where you may act as you please? In the event of an accident involving you, I will be the first person to be suspected. Furthermore, Eugene is inside, intentionally or unintentionally, and you can’t get him out. In addition, I’m not going to let you in with your true identity.”

Her brows furrowed as she questioned, “Then, how am I going to enter?” “As my girlfriend, Christoff stated. Olivia hesitated for a moment. Girlfriend? This means I will have to come into physical contact with him.

When he sensed her hesitation, he continued to tease her, “Don’t you want to know whether Eugene betrayed you? What if he’s already with Azalea?”

She was speechless after being teased by him. Without a doubt, he was a meticulous person. Nonetheless, she believed Eugene was not in the City Palace because of the marriage matter, and he was held captive by Sirius. After all, Eugene couldn’t afford to antagonize the royal family, no matter how influential he was. Perhaps, he was attempting to escape that place, and her identity could interfere with his plans.

At that moment, Christoff took two black pills out of his pocket and gave one to Olivia and the other to Jewel. “Eat it.” Olivia viewed him with skepticism. “Do we eat this to change our facial appearance?” ‘Forget it if you don’t believe me,” he snorted.

Then, he reached out to reclaim the pill.

Instantly, she grabbed his hand and snatched the pills from his palms. “I believe you.” Afterward, she attempted to put it in her mouth, but Jewel prevented her. “Let me take it first.” Then, she popped it into her mouth..

Soon, Olivia ingested the pill while waiting for Jewel to transform. Soon, Christoff’s expression relaxed as he glared at Olivia and bragged, “Do you realize how precious these pills are?”
