Chapter 1254 Giving Albert the Necklace
It was now George's turn to fall into sullen silence, but he persisted in his struggles.
"Eugene and I can chat during the night. He won't be a bother. Just let him sleep in my
room."
Olivia glared at him coldly, reminding him, "I think you'll be the one bothering him. He's
used to the silence and has not been sleeping well lately. If there are no available rooms,
we'll just move back to our place."
Is this a threat? He glared at his heartless junior and petulantly argued, "That's enough.
Why move around? It's not like you won't be here during the day. Why bother tormenting
yourself?" Then, he turned to Eugene and said, "Go clear a room for yourself."
"I'll help you," she said, smiling.
Nevertheless, Eugene was so happy after hearing those words that he taunted George
before responding nonchalantly, "Okay."
When Ellen learned of this, she offered her room next to Olivia so that her son could be
near his woman.
In the meantime, George's heart throbbed in jealousy and pain. Since when does Eugene

from complaining. Fumed, he stormed off to the clinic, reasoning that he could better
control his anger if the whole mess was out of sight.
After a full morning of hard work, Eugene was finally moved into the room adjacent to
Olivia's. Even though the two remained separated by a wall and under George's wary
gaze, it was considered a victory for him.
Conversely, it would be much easier for Eugene to head to his darling girlfriend's room to
chat and snuggle.
Meanwhile, Ellen was slightly worried because she had not imagined that she had been
moved to the room next to Hector's after all the fuss. The realization of this caused her
cheeks to redden. A third party might have believed she orchestrated the room swaps.
Unbeknownst to her, the room next to her was now unoccupied.
...
On the other hand, Alex and Jewel sought out an opportunity to express their gratitude to
Albert, as they could not simply remain silent and forget everything he had done for them.
Still, they knew Albert's willingness to testify was solely due to Olivia. Despite this, Jewel
was more aware of Albert's intentions than Alex, and she was even aware that Albert
desired Olivia's necklace. However, it did not matter what his motivations were because
they were the ones who benefited from his actions, so they were obligated to express
gratitude.
Later, Jewel approached Olivia and inquired about the most appropriate way to thank
Albert.
Olivia replied, "There's no need to do anything. Eugene would be flying back in a few days.
I'll have him bring the necklace over. We can meet up with Albert one day to discuss the
necklace. If he is sincere, I have no problem giving him the necklace."
In contrast, Jewel was hesitant for her to simply hand over the necklace like that for fear of
future complications and...
"That necklace is your only proof of identity. They are looking for the necklace, not the
princess. If you give it to them, what can you use to prove you are who you are in the
future?"
"I am living a blessed life right now. I don't want to be acknowledged or brought back into
the fold. As long as the country's development does not affect me, I don't care," Olivia

Then, Jewel chuckled and praised, "You are well-loved. Only a woman surrounded by love
could be so bold and fearless."
...
One week later, Eugene returned with the necklace.
The next evening.
Olivia scheduled a meeting with Albert at the restaurant where they frequently dined.
"Are you going to give him the necklace today? I'll go with you," Eugene said worriedly.
"It's fine. Jewel will be there with me," Olivia reassured him. "It'll count as Jewel's show of
gratitude. I don't plan on giving it to them anyway. We're testing the waters to see if he'll
be truthful with me. I won't give him the necklace if he doesn't tell the truth. Then, we'll
return the favor some other way."
"Be careful then."
She chuckled and said, "Don't worry. Albert is a smart man. If he wants to force me into
giving the necklace up, he will not do it when we are just warming up to each other. Jewel
will be there as well. You can come with me when I do hand the necklace over."
