Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1461

Chapter 1461 How Could You Be So Heartless?

Lucian's eyes widened in disbelief. He saw the frightened council members, the cold-hearted Alice, the unsurprised Olivia, and the expressionless Eugene.

He couldn't understand. He had planned everything so carefully. Even if he failed to kill Olivia this time, she would still be held accountable by the Double Dragon Court. He had planned it all so well. But how did he end up like this?

He refused to admit that he had lost to a young girl. He was just careless, so utterly, wholly careless, and even underestimated Olivia. He thought he could eliminate Olivia, trouble Alice, and control the Cabinet Consuls.

Yet, Lucian never expected so many unexpected changes.

He never considered Olivia's prior interactions with Alice, nor had he anticipated that the assassin who could cure Doreen was also the princess of Eurosia. He certainly never imagined her husband was Eugene.

He had never taken Olivia seriously since he believed an assassin couldn't create much turmoil, but she had brought a tsunami of destruction upon him.

He couldn't accept it, he couldn't!

"Dad!" Beatrix screamed in despair, her voice echoing throughout the hall. She watched in horror as Lucian fell lifeless to the ground. She struggled free from Albert's restraint and rushed towards herContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

father.

In the meantime, Olivia quickly brought Doreen over and began treating her neck wound with a first-aid kit. She reassured Doreen while trembling herself.

Doreen reassured her, "I'm fine."

Olivia responded, "Yes, Godmother, don't worry. With me here, nothing will happen to you."

As Olivia attended to Doreen's injury, Beatrix was in a state of despair, crying uncontrollably on the floor. At a certain moment, she appeared as if she had gone mad. She picked up the pen-like dagger from the ground and rushed towards Eugene.

"Eugene, you killed my father! I'll kill you!"

However, Albert intercepted her before she could reach Eugene, gripping her wrist tightly and coldly stating, "If you want to die, just say so!"

"Let go of me, Albert. Let go!" Beatrix struggled with all her might, her eyes turning a terrifying crimson.

Alice walked over as well, her expression ice-cold. "It was my decision to have Eugene act this way. Your actions today were all part of our plan. Traitors like your father deserve to be punished! If you want to meet the same fate as him, go ahead. I guarantee the next person lying on the ground will be you!"

Beatrix screamed in madness, "Lydia Bleu, you're ruthless. He is at least your nominal father, yet you actually killed him!"

Alice corrected her, "He has nothing to do with me. Even if he is my nominal father, after his repeated attempts to kill me, I have no reason to spare him. That includes you, Beatrix. If you seek death, I can accommodate you just as easily."

Beatrix was in inconsolable anguish.

She realized that as the queen, Alice held the power of life and death over others. Human lives meant nothing to her. Why should she care about Lucian when she could kill even her blood sister without care if offended? Seeking vengeance for her father was nothing more than a foolish dream.

She was a fool for believing in that man and leading her father to his demise.

She suddenly seemed to lose all her strength, and the dagger slipped from her hand. She looked at Eugene, murmuring in pain, "Why did you do this to me? I just liked you, that's all. I only wanted to warn you to protect yourself from Olivia's influence, but you used the recording to incriminate my father for treason. You even killed my father. How could you be so heartless?"
