Chapter 1257 Free Tea
In a drawn-out manner, Albert said, "There is nothing. What kind of person do you think I am, Miss
Maxwell? Even though there was some ulterior motive for my actions, I will not take advantage of you.
That would make me feel like the word ''friend'' would lose all meaning."
Olivia''s eyes widened in surprise as she realized that her hint was so obvious that he would have to
ask to see the ne. What does he mean by this? Is he no longer eager to find the ne?
She tilted her head and stared at him before saying, in an even more direct manner, "This is your only
chance, Mr. Bleu."
Albert smiled in response. "I know. I''m fine as long as our friendship does not end abruptly."
Olivia was taken aback by his statement and quickly realized that he was being astute with this favor.
Now that they were friends, it was only a matter of time before he could look at the ne. If he had
insisted on using the favor to get a glimpse at the ne, their "friendship" would no longer be valid.
Additionally, she would probably assume that any outstanding debts between them have been paid off
since they would be friends in name only. On the contrary, she was now looking at him in a new light.
Then, she smiled and said, "Of course not."
In the meantime, stars twinkled deep within his eyes as he silently smiled back.
On the other hand, River''s eyes darted between the two during the entire conversation. What on earth
is Sir doing? When else would he ask to see the ne if not now?
After listening to their conversation, Jewel heaved a silent sigh. I am the sole reason why Olivia owes
someone a favor. Therefore, it is clear that Albert''s motivations go beyond a simple desire to look at the
ne and that he also wants to make friends
A momentter, as everyone in the room had be engrossed in their thoughts, there was a knock
at the door.
"Come in," Olivia called out.
Then, the waiter pushed the door open and walked in with a teapot. After ncing at the people seated
at the table, he said, "Pardon me. I have a pot of exquisite Sencha for you. It''s a gift from the
restaurant."
When Olivia heard this, she was taken aback because she had just looked at the menu and
remembered that Sencha was more expensive than the other tea options. Why is the restaurant so
generous? At this thought, she asked, "Is it free?"
"Yes. The boss says it''s because you''re a frequent customer here, so it''s a gift for a regr," the waiter
said. He then dutifully poured them a cup of tea each.

The aroma of the tea quickly permeated the room, which was a testament to the quality of the tea.
Suddenly, Albert raised an eyebrow and remarked, "It is good tea."
Although Olivia found the entire situation suspicious, she did not speak up just yet. She had lived in
Mastar for years, but this was the first time she had heard of a restaurant giving away free tea. Is it just
because we are repeat customers?
"Please enjoy." Once the waiter was done serving them, he bowed and walked out of the room.
Albert smiled and said, "We havee here too often. The restaurant owner even knows who we are
now."
"The tea smells wonderful," Jewelmented.
At that point, Olivia tried to dismiss her concerns, convincing herself that she was simply being overly
cautious. Their enthusiasm made her smile, and she nodded, saying, "Let''s try it out then." After saying
this, she brought the tea to her lips and took a small sip, frowning as she realized something was
wrong. As she observed the others raising their sses, she quickly shouted, "Wait—"
Everyone instantly froze and turned to look at her in confusion.
Then, she brought the cup back to her nose and took another sniff, at which point the furrows between
her brows deepened.
Nheless, Jewel could not help but feel nervous upon seeing that and asked, "What is it, Olivia?"
"Don''t drink the tea. It has been spiked with Ecstasy," Olivia replied.
Although the scent of the drug was obscured by the fragrance of the tea, it was still detectable through
careful sniffing, albeit not as obvious.
On the other hand, Albert was shocked to hear that. "Ecstasy? Are you sure?"
"Yes."
His face was painted with skepticism, not because he didn''t believe her but because he found the
situation extremely odd. Her ability to smell the Ecstasy in the tea baffled him since most drugs on the
market had no discernible odor or vor. After that, he gave his tea a whiff or two, but no matter how
closely he sniffed, he could only detect the aroma of tea.
Meanwhile, Jewel had unwavering faith in Olivia, so she shot to her feet and dashed out of the room.
"Let me check it out."
