Chapter 864
Christoff looked at her but was speechless for a while. Did she regard him as a friend? Unsure, he
asked again, "Are we friends now?"
Olivia looked at him firmly. "Why would Ie with you if I didn''t consider you as a friend?"
"You aren''t here to find Eugene?"
"My goal is to find him, but I also have to ensure my safety. Although you are annoying most of the
time, my instinct tells me that you won''t hurt me, so I regard you as a friend." Olivia looked at him with
sincere eyes. Though she admitted it was not entirely true, she had to word it that way.
The man in front of her might be dangerous, and although she had an intuition that he wouldn''t hurt
her, there was no guarantee that he wouldn''t hurt Eugene.
She had to ensure that Christoff wasn''t involved in this matter, and even if he was, she hoped that her
words would make him waver and withdraw himself from the conspiracy. Otherwise, it would be difficult
for the two of them to join hands. On the contrary, Christoff nced at Olivia in surprise. Her words did
shock him.
How could she believe him by intuition? No one had ever said such a thing to him before.
Who was he? He was Christoff Stevenson, the ruler of Samuel Court. No one had ever fully trusted
him, but he somehow gained the trust of a woman he had barely known for a month and got along with
for less than a week.
His current feelings were indescribable. He was delighted but was also a little guilty. He wanted to
erase the deceptive acts he did to her, and he even secretly promised not to lie to her anymore. This
time, however…
It took a while before he found his voice again. "I''m d you''re well aware of that. Even if I don''t like
Eugene, I won''t do such a thing on the premise of hurting my friends. Let''s head out and have a look at
the situation now," he urged and tugged Olivia''s arm.
Despite that, Olivia stayed still because she didn''t want to see Eugene. "You go ahead. I''lle back
in a while."
"I''ll stay here with you, then."
"It''s fine. I need some time alone."
Christoff then uttered, "You better stay still, then. Although you are my girlfriend now, I''m not going to
save you if you throw yourself into the fire."
Olivia red at him and seethed, "Just mind your own business!"

With a smile, he replied, "Sure. I''ll help you listen to what Eugene has to say." With that, he left.
Olivia walked a little further by herself, found a ce where no one was around, and leaned against the
wall. She then fished out her phone and called Eugene. However, the call still couldn''t go through.
She took a deep breath. Although she had always been confident in Eugene''s feelings for her, she no
longer had the energy to defend him anymore. She was confused.
Just then, a subdued voice came from the room not too far away, but it was loud enough for her to hear
it.
One of them said, "The King must take this ss of wer. Remember. It''s the one on the left."
The other asked, "Why?"
"Why do you have so many questions? Just do as I say."
"Got it."
Soon, a waiter came out with two sses of wine on a tray. Olivia was suspicious of their conversation.
Why did they specify which ss the King should drink? Were they intending to assassinate the King?
It was possible. Now that Sirius had made the engagement with Eugene official, he thought he had
strong support. Thus, he wanted to kill the King and take over his ce. Wouldn''t that be a logical thing
to do?
Thinking of that, Olivia grew anxious. Did Eugene get involved with another country''s coup? Anxious,
she rushed out to the hall again.
At this time, Azalea was holding the microphone as she announced, "Don''t get us wrong, everyone.
Eugene and I are just friends, and we are not nning to get engaged. My father misunderstood our
rtionship, but I am still delighted that all of you took the time to attend my birthday party today. Feel
free to enjoy yourselves tonight!"
