Chapter 1414 Strategies Unveiled
After hearing this, Beatrix immediately threw herself into the man's arms and cried out in
grievance, "Dad…"
Lucian held her tenderly, his hand gently soothing her head as he softly asked, "What
happened?"
Tears welled up in Beatrix's eyes as she recounted, "I was bullied by the doctor Albert
brought to the house today."
A subtle frown appeared on Lucian's brow as he questioned, "You mean Olivia Maxwell?"
Beatrix was surprised. "Dad, how do you know her name?"
Guiding her to the couch, Lucian explained, "How could I not investigate someone brought
back by Albert?"
As Beatrix seemed to have vented her frustrations, she eventually regained composure
and pressed on, "So, have you discovered anything? I have a feeling Alice is shielding her
this time."
A disdainful smile appeared on Lucian's lips. "She might be shielding her, but is it
effective? Remember those doctors we ousted before? Do you think she wanted to drive
them away? Didn't we force them all out in the end?"
Beatrix said, "But this time, it's the person Albert brought back. They're true siblings, you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknow. Alice will undoubtedly resist us to the bitter end. Today, I went to find her in a fit of
anger, but she refused to see me. Doesn't that show she's dead set on protecting her?'
Lucian let out a derisive snort. "In this world, solutions often outnumber difficulties. Even if
she intends to safeguard her, it hinges on whether the Cabinet Consuls concur." With
those words, he handed her a flash drive.
Beatrix accepted it with surprise and inquired, "What's this?"
Lucian replied, "Plug it in, and you'll find out."
Although perplexed, Beatrix followed his instructions. As the video's contents unfolded
before her, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Dad, is that Olivia? How did you come across this?"
Lucian leisurely lit a cigarette and explained, "She seemed familiar to me when I saw her
that day, so I delved deeper and stumbled upon this information. Surprisingly, she turned
out to be an acquaintance. Tell me, are you still worried about not being able to drive her
away?"
"Absolutely not," Beatrix responded assuredly.
A surge of happiness enveloped her. She hugged Lucian's neck and planted a grateful kiss
on his cheek. "Thanks, Dad!"
Lucian patted her head affectionately. "No need to fret. You are my most treasured
daughter. I'll strive to secure the finest things in the world for you."
At that moment, a recollection stirred in her mind. However, before she could voice it, a
hint of shyness crept onto her face. "Dad, when you saw Olivia, did you happen to notice
the man standing beside her?"
Lucian furrowed his brows as he retraced his thoughts. "Are you referring to the man who
was holding an umbrella for her earlier?"
Beatrix pondered for a moment, recalling that it was the bodyguards who had assisted
them with umbrellas upon their return.
She shook her head. "Probably not. That tall, handsome man exudes a commanding aura,
and he's from Criecia."
Lucian interjected, "Isn't that the same guy who held the umbrella for her?"
Beatrix pondered for a while. Given the way the man doted on Olivia, it was also possible
that he might have held an umbrella for her when they were outside.
"In that case, it's quite likely him. Dad, I like him."
Lucian frowned. "But I thought you were opposed to dating?"
Beatrix's eyes brimmed with happiness as she sweetly said, "Seeing him makes me want
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto reconsider."
His affectionate and attentive nature possessed an undeniable allure. Who wouldn't be
swayed by such care?
Lucian raised his hand and patted her head. "Alright, if he's the man my precious daughter
is fond of, I will help you make it happen!"
Beatrix said, "Great, it's best if we can drive Olivia away or eliminate her while securing
the man."
Two days later.
Just as Albert had anticipated, Alice sent someone to pass on the message that she
wanted to meet Eugene and Olivia.
Her decision wasn't solely prompted by the positive impact of Olivia's treatment on
Doreen but also by the combined pressure from Beatrix and the Cabinet Consuls that left
her with no choice but to meet them.
In their country, Doreen was considered an invaluable asset. Her condition couldn't afford
any setbacks, even if her current state wasn't optimal.
However, no one wished for her condition to deteriorate, so before the treatment, the
Consuls insisted on meeting the doctor responsible for her care. Given the circumstances,
Alice had no solid grounds to object.
