Chapter 1452 This Is Eugene’s Deliberate Retaliation
Alice spoke up, "Is there anything else you want to argue about now? Why don't you
explain the content of this recording, Beatrix?"
Beatrix stumbled, looking defeated. It was over.
Those words were all hers. How could she explain?!
D*mn Eugene, how did he manage to record it secretly? No wonder he always had his
hands in his pockets and showed more patience toward me. He was waiting for this
moment, wasn't he? And to think that I had foolishly thought my offers swayed him.
She had naively believed that this man, no matter how unruly, could not escape her grasp.
This was damnation! She had willingly said those words one by one.
What was she to do now?
She looked at Lucian in bewilderment.
He, too, was in distress. He had anticipated that Beatrix would say some shocking things,
but he never expected Eugene to trap his foolish daughter so ruthlessly.
She confessed to everything.
He struggled to control his urge to erupt as his mind raced. He couldn't just admit defeat
like this and couldn't let Alice suppress him.
So, he sighed, gave Beatrix an exasperated glare, and said, "My foolish daughter, I've said
it before: love is something that can't be forced. Have you finally seen his true colors this
time?"
Then, he looked at Alice and continued, "Your sister fell in love with Eugene. She was
worried that Olivia would drag him down, so she went to see him that day. She did it to
save Eugene, to get him away from Olivia. She intentionally said those things, even
though stealing someone else's love might have been inappropriate. But love itself is
innocent, and what she said wasn't meant to be taken seriously!"
Alice couldn't help but laugh. "Even facing death, you are unrepentant. Regardless of her
motives, I can charge you and your daughter with plotting to usurp the throne based on
those words alone. Not to mention your involvement in framing and sabotaging Doctor
Maxwell's efforts to treat General Bleu's illness. Isn't all of this preparation for the throne? I
never expected that you two had been eyeing my throne for so long. Lucian, what are you
still trying to argue?"
With that, she ordered those around her. "Guards, arrest Lucian and Beatrix!"
The guards exchanged glances and slowly approached the two.
Beatrix screamed in panic and took a few steps back, hiding behind Lucian.
Lucian, holding her, stepped back and urgently explained, "Alice, those words were
entirely guided by Eugene. Your sister just likes Eugene, and he manipulated her. This is all
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpart of Eugene and Olivia's scheme. We're your family, Alice. How can you trust a stranger
over us?"
At that, he turned to incite the Cabinet Consuls. "Haven't you all noticed? This is Eugene's
deliberate retaliation. When I found out that Olivia was the thief who stole the necklace, I
did use the Tears of the Ocean to implicate her, but it was all for the good of you and
General Bleu. I was worried you'd be deceived. I admit my methods were somewhat
inappropriate, but the charge of plotting to usurp the throne is far too unjust for us. Are
you just going to stand by and let Eugene and that thief lead the queen?"
Alice sneered; She wanted to see how many Cabinet Consuls were on Lucian's side. So,
she said, "Lucian, I'm not the young girl I used to be, and you don't need to spread
rumors. Let's hear everyone's opinions if you want to hear them. Don't think that I'm
ruling with an iron fist."
She looked at everyone and said, "Feel free to speak your mind about this matter."
The crowd remained silent.
