Chapter 1142 Friend or Foe
Upon those words, Albert was slightly stunned. Eugene Nolan, the name known by every
soul in the world? He's not just a legend in Criecia but a prominent figure in the world!
Everyone knows that not only was he the head of Nolan Group, but he was also the owner
of Promise Island! Huh. What a surprise to learn that he's Olivia's boyfriend!
As Albert was dazed, he was also secretly relieved that he used the indirect approach,
intending to become Olivia's friend. Otherwise, if he were to resort to threatening, his
identity would have been exposed. To be fair, even his life would be in danger.
"Greetings, Mr. Nolan. Your name reaches every corner of the world."
Eugene softly chuckled. "As if I'm anything significant compared to the royal Mr. Bleu."
Hearing that, Albert was taken aback. Even his eyes subconsciously flinched. How did he
already find out who I am? How is that possible? It's only been one day!
"You—"

right that I look into the details and purposes of the people that approach my girlfriend
without any reason, isn't it?
With that, Albert took a deep breath. After a moment of panic, he finally collected himself.
Of course, it's Eugene Nolan. What's so hard for him to investigate anyone, including me,
despite my identity? With that in mind, everything made sense to him.
"Certainly. Though, I'm curious, Mr. Nolan. What kind of people do you categorize me as—a
friend or a foe?"
Eugene looked at him with a smile. "If you're not a foe, you may be a friend. Unlike making
friends, making enemies is easy. Thus, it depends on whether you perceive me as a friend
or foe."
Albert let out a chuckle. "I like a challenging one."
With tense brows, Eugene handed a glass of wine to Albert. "To become friends one day."
Albert accepted the glass and clinked it with Eugene's. "To become friends one day."
"Nevertheless, I prefer a sincere friend. Please excuse us, Mr. Bleu."
Finished, Eugene led Olivia and Jewel to the grand hall.
Watching as the three left, Albert thought, Oh, what a disadvantageous turn of events!
Olivia looked at Eugene's expression and burst out laughing. "Was that the nerves or the
jealousy?"
He questioned, "The waiter did it on purpose, didn't he?"
She answered, "Mhm, seems like it. Though, I don't think he came with ill intentions. He
probably simply wants to be my friend as soon as possible."
Eugene let out a sneer. "How insincere of him to befriend someone with an ulterior motive.
Does he think we're fools?"
Seeing how frustrated the man was, Olivia funnily consoled, "Let it go. He didn't pull
anything on me anyway. Why are you this mad?"

"It's annoying," he blurted.
Then, Jewel suspiciously asked, "Who was that man? He looks rather foreign."
Olivia closed in toward her ears and whispered, "He's Eurosian."
Taken aback, Jewel asked, "Eurosian? So, is he here for your…"
Remaining composed, Olivia nodded. "Yes."
For some reason, Jewel suddenly felt nervous. "So, what are you going to do?"
Olivia answered, "It doesn't matter. I told him I lost it. Though, he didn't seem to believe it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have approached me so deliberately."
Jewel then reminded, "Be careful, then. We don't know whether he's an ally or an enemy
yet. There will be trouble if we handle this poorly."
"I know," Olivia replied.
All of a sudden, the door to the resting room was forcefully pushed open, after which Ellen
angrily walked out of the room with a contorted face.
Confused, Jewel immediately went up to her. "What's wrong, Godmother?"
After letting out a long breath, Ellen painfully grabbed Jewel's hand. "Why didn't you tell
me earlier? Why didn't you tell me Stefanie slandered your mother so horrendously?"
Upon realization, Jewel felt a gush of warmth in her heart. "Don't be mad, Godmother. I've
been looking into the matter. I, too, don't believe that my mother would do such a thing."
