Chapter 1422 The Culprit
Olivia turned to ask everyone, "Does anyone know where this room in the video is?"
Albert, at this moment, seemed to have just awakened. He had actually doubted Olivia
just like everyone else, simply because she had the necklace in her hand.
However, he didn't witness it himself. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding. Why would she
willingly walk into a trap if she really was a thief?
Others might not know why she came to Eurosia, but he knew.
With Eugene and Olivia's capabilities, would they need to come to their small country of
Eurosia to steal something?
This argument just didn't hold up.
Moreover, Albert knew that Beatrix would do everything possible to discredit Olivia. So,
why did Albert fall for it so easily?
The answer to that was that he was not as resolute as Alice.
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of guilt and quickly spoke up, "This is my mother's study. It
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtis indeed a highly confidential place."
Olivia responded, looking innocently at Beatrix and raising an eyebrow. "Care to explain?"
Suppose she wants to say that it is me in the surveillance video, fine! Let's see how she
will explain that she has access to the surveillance.
She didn't believe that Beatrix would admit to placing a video recorder in Blanchett's
study.
Beatrix's mind was a mess. She didn't know how to defend herself, so she could only say
weakly, "Do I need to explain to you?"
Alice spoke coldly, "Then, explain it to me. After the queen's death, this room became
mine. I didn't know that I was being watched every moment. Every document in that room
is highly confidential. Why did you place a video recorder in my study?"
Beatrix furrowed her brow and hurriedly explained, "No, I didn't place any video recorder.
Don't listen to Olivia's nonsense."
Alice pressed on. "Then explain how this video came about?"
Beatrix stammered, "I-I, this is..."
A male voice suddenly resounded before she could come up with a reason. "I gave it to
her."
Lucian walked in.
The tall man had a kind smile on his face with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that gave him
a touch of elegance.
As Olivia looked at him, the words "hypocritical sc*m" inexplicably popped into her mind.
She felt that his smile was also quite fake.
She had a hunch that he was not the father.
Eugene glanced at Olivia and held her hand, leaning in close to her ear to whisper, "I don't
think he is."
Olivia turned to look at him. Her face was filled with joy that matched his intuition. "I think
so, too."
Everyone stood up and greeted him. Even Alice addressed Lucian as her father.
Beatrix finally found her confidence and hurriedly rushed over to him, sweetly calling out,
"Dad!"
Lucian rubbed her head, saying, "I told you that you won't be able to explain it clearly.
With such solid evidence, what is there for you to say?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe looked at Alice and continued, "The video recorder indeed recorded this, and I placed it
in the study. But I didn't intend to monitor anything. If you don't believe me, you can
search now.
"I placed the video recorder that day because I received a mysterious call saying someone
would steal the necklace that night. At that time, Alice was dwelling on Blanchett's
passing, and I didn't dare to disturb anyone. There are some things I can only do on my
own. I knew they would turn off the surveillance if they came to steal, so I placed a small
video recorder. I also increased the number of guards patrolling.
"But I didn't expect those people to be so skilled. They bypassed the infrared sensors,
evaded the guards, and even interfered with the surveillance. They easily entered the
study and opened the safe to steal the necklace. Of course, I only found out about all this
later. At that time, they intruded and escaped without alerting anyone.
"After they left, I quietly retrieved the video recorder. But when I discovered that the
necklace had been stolen, I was also shocked. I even asked Alice specifically, and she said
the necklace was still there. They took the fake one. Although they didn't steal the real
necklace, the act of theft still happened. I have been using this video for so many years to
track down the thief, but they hid themselves very well. I didn't expect that she would
willingly walk into the trap."
