    Chapter 1411 Subtle Challenges


    "I''m tired today."


    "Do you want to offend me then?"


    Olivia chuckled. "Your Highness, with your stature, I don''t think I could offend you with such a small


    matter, could I?"


    Beatrix knew that Olivia was not speaking sincerely. She snorted and said, "Spare me the ttery.


    Albert must have paid you handsomely for this consultation. Remember, whether you''ll receive that fee


    depends solely on my word!"


    Olivia smiled with a hint of resignation. Perhaps such a threat might work on other doctors, but can it


    indeed intimidate me?


    She casually nced around and then pointed her finger toward the window. "Do you think that bird on


    that branch is feeling afraid?"


    Beatrix had never heard of such a philosophical story from Criecia.


    She didn''t understand what Olivia meant and followed the direction of her pointing finger to look


    outside.


    On a tree outside, a bird was perched on a thin branch, swaying as if it could fall at any moment.


    She frowned. What did Olivia mean?


    Wasn''t I just threatening her? What does it have to do with this bird?


    Observing Beatrix''s puzzled expression, Olivia decided not to wait for understanding to dawn. She


    exined, "It isn''t afraid because its reliance isn''t on the branch beneath its feet but on its wings!"


    Beatrix still appeared perplexed as she stared at the bird outside, still not understanding.


    Olivia didn''t wait for her to understand and politely said, "Your Highness, please excuse us. We''re truly


    exhausted and in need of some rest."


    After speaking, she went upstairs with Eugene.


    The two guards looked at each other, unsure whether they should stop them.


    Seeing that Beatrix remained silent, they hesitated, ultimately opting not to intervene.


    In the meantime, Beatrix was gradually connecting the dots. Moments ago, she had threatened Olivia


    that unless she allowed Olivia to treat her, Olivia wouldn''t be able to earn the substantial consultation


    fee they had provided. Then, Olivia mentioned that the bird relied not on the branch but on its wings.


    Olivia was implying that she wasn''t afraid of her threats because she relied on her own abilities!


    After understanding this, Beatrix felt even more embarrassed.


    Olivia was subtly challenging me!


    D*mn it.


    How despicable!


    Does Olivia think I can''t do anything to her?


    Just a doctor who thinks highly of herself. I must take action so she knows her ce.


    Thinking of this, she angrily stood up from the couch and coincidentally met Albert at the door, who had


    just returned.


    He walked quickly, seemingly in a rush.


    In just a few steps, he reached her and said, "Beatrix."


    "Where did you find the doctor?"


    Albert smiled. "In Criecia. What''s wrong?"

    As he spoke, he nced inside and didn''t see Olivia and the others.


    Seeing Beatrix''s frustrated expression, he immediately grasped the situation. Most likely, Beatrix had


    been put in her ce.


    Very well!


    He felt a slight relief in his heart.


    Beatrix remarked, "That self-proimed genius doctor you mentioned isn''t very skilled, but she sure


    has a temper. I asked her to examine me, but she refused. With such limited medical abilities, does she


    truly deserve the title of genius doctor? Are you still considering having her treat Godmother?" Albert


    furrowed his brow, countering, "Miss Maxwell possesses excellent medical skills, and she seldom


    treats patients these days."


    Beatrix snorted, "I think she''s just bluffing. I refuse to allow her to treat Godmother. I''m heading to see


    Queen Alice about this immediately." With that deration, she stormed off.


    As he watched her departing figure, Albert suppressed the anger brewing within him and refrained from


    stopping her.


    After all, Alice wouldn''t listen to him.


    Upon entering the house, the steward immediately came forward and greeted him.


    "Mr. Bleu!"


    Albert furrowed his brows. "What did Beatrix say here just now?"


    The steward didn''t hide or exaggerate anything and repeated precisely what Beatrix had said to Olivia


    and the others.


    After listening, Albert surprisingly felt happy and relieved.


    A faint smile appeared on his lips. "Mr. Nn and Miss Maxwell are honored guests in our household.


    We must protect them when necessary."


    The steward responded, "Yes, Mr. Bleu!"
