    Chapter 1249 The Real Matter at Hand


    Olivia looked at Albert, her voice slightly icy, and said, "After all this build-up, shouldn''t we get to the


    real matter at hand?"


    After hearing this, he chuckled awkwardly and uttered, "I apologize for the unpleasantnessst time. I


    wanted to exin because I was worried you might misunderstand."


    Then, she sipped her tea and replied, "I''m not someone who can''t tell right from wrong. Just say what


    you have to say."


    "Okay, I''ll be direct. I did follow you, but I kept my distance. When I arrived, you had already entered


    the apartmentplex. I waited nearby, but it was almost dawn when you came out. I realized that it


    wasn''t you but your friend. I felt relieved and was about to leave when I heard the sound of an


    ambnce. The injured person being carried out was covered in blood, and I instinctively felt it had


    something to do with your friend. So, I took the liberty to investigate the matter. The injured person


    turned out to be Brett Jams, the owner of Hilton Casino. I was concerned about potential trouble, so I


    asked River to keep an eye on Brett."


    After hearing this, Olivia''s face darkened inexorably, and her aura grew icier. Her gaze toward Albert


    inexplicably carried a sense of oppression. "What do you mean? Are you trying to use this to threaten


    me?"


    In fact, he had always been her prime suspect, and it was difficult not to specte further after he


    brought up these issues. It was clear from his tone and content that he was hoping for an amicable


    resolution to the situation so that he could obtain the ne. If she refused, would he threaten her


    with these pieces of evidence?


    When he noticed the changes in her expression, he was taken aback and realized she had


    misunderstood, so he quickly exined, "No, that''s not what I meant. I never intend to do that."


    However, Olivia''s aura grew even more intimidating, and she inquired, "So, you''re using this as a


    condition to exchange for the ne? Albert Bleu, let me be clear—I can''t be forced into doing


    something I don''t want to do."


    Albert was taken aback when she addressed him by his full name and knew she was genuinely irate,


    so he rified, "I understand, Miss Maxwell. You''ve misunderstood. I didn''t want to force or threaten


    you. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have taken the time to exin all this to you. Please, let me continue."


    Her expression conveyed impatience, and she cast a wary gaze in his direction for a while before


    saying, "Go on then."


    After hearing this, Albertposed himself, and fearing that Olivia might be enraged again, he


    said, "The person who was taken away by the policest time was your friend, right? I apologize for not


    getting your consent before conducting my investigation. The police suspect that she killed Brett.


    However, there was another incident on the night of the 3rd. I thought it might help clear your friend''s


    name."

    Nheless, she was momentarily puzzled by the unexpected turn of events. "You''re saying that


    something else happened that night? What happened?"


    Afterward, he quickly stated, "River experienced something that night, so let him tell you." While saying


    this, he nced at River.


    In the meantime, River stood up and bowed deeply to Olivia. "Miss Maxwell, I apologize for my


    impoliteness during ourst encounter, and Mr. Bleu also scolded me afterward. I hope you won''t take


    what I said to heart. Hopefully, what I will tell you canpensate for my previous behavior. Around


    1.00AM on the 3rd, I saw a woman in a stealth suit descending from a window at the hospital. She


    chose a blind spot with no surveince, and I was looking for a ce to relieve myself without being


    seen. That''s when we encountered each other. She attacked me, and Mr. Bleu said she was likely


    trying to silence me. This person was skilled inbat, and I could tell she was a woman. In the heat


    of battle, I happened to notice the red rose tattoo on her ankle." After he took a breather, he added,


    "Oh, and she was wearing a leather glove that could shoot steel wires. The injury on my arm was


    caused by her wire. She intended to strangle me, but I blocked her with my arm, resulting in the injury.


    When we heard the sound of police sirens, she stopped engaging with me, and that was when I


    learned about Brett''s death."
