Chapter 1428
Chapter 1428 Lost Friendship
Compared to the indecisive and opportunistic pce guards, the Imperial Guards of the Governor
General''s residence were much more disciplined. This was shown when they all responded in unison,
"Yes, Sir."
Their voices were loud and earth-shattering.
Alice couldn''t help but feel a bit envious of the unwavering loyalty they disyed. This was yet another
difference between her and her godmother.
Even though the pce guards were under hermand, they were easily swayed and went as far as
to obey Lucian''s orders after listening to him speak!
Perhaps she should also show some courage and establish some rules lest she be stabbed in the back
by one of these opportunists one day!
Hugh swept his gaze across the throne room. "The truth will be revealed soon enough! However, let''s
not specte recklessly until the matter is thoroughly investigated!"
Then, he turned his attention back to Eugene and Doctor Maxwell. "Mr. Nn, Doctor Maxwell, please
follow me!"
This time, no one dared to make things difficult for them, and they left the pce smoothly under the
watchful gazes of the Imperial Guards under Doreen''smand.
Albert''s gaze followed them as they left, but his feet were frozen to the ground. He couldn''t even move
a muscle. Frankly, he didn''t know how to face them after this debacle.
He was the one who invited them to Eurosia, but he misunderstood them again and again after falling
prey to Lucian and Beatrix''s instigations.
Eugene and Doctor Maxwell were probably very disappointed, weren''t they?
No one knew how chaotic his mind was at that moment.
On one hand, he didn''t want to believe that Doctor Maxwell was the thief who stole the ne five
years ago. Yet, he couldn''t exin why she had the ne if she wasn''t the thief in the video.
Eventually, he started to think that Lucian''s version made a lot of sense.
They lost the ne five years ago, and Doctor Maxwell was the thief in the video. That was why she
had the ne in her possession.
It was just as Lucian had said earlier—even if the stolen ne was fake, she still did the deed. That
was why he hesitated when Eugene asked him that question.

It was during those few seconds of hesitation that he knew he had lost their friendship.
He deeply regretted it right at this moment. If he could have just said a word in their defense, even if it
were useless, it wouldn''t have caused them to feel utterly disillusioned by his attitude.
Once he thought of that, he hastily bid Alice to give him leave before chasing after them.
It didn''t matter whether they would forgive him for his transgressions; he should still apologize to them.
Meanwhile, Alice exuded amanding presence as she sat on the throne. She nced coldly at
everyone in the pce before suddenly speaking, "I really can''t imagine such a chaotic morning would
happen in my pce of all ces. Your behavior is not evenparable to the aunties who haggle for
prices in the wet markets! Is the video real or fake? Is Doctor Maxwell truly the thief, or was she
framed? Would someone like Doctor Maxwell foolishly hide the stolen things in her bag and wait for
you to find them? Are you detaining her without proper investigation due to solid evidence, or only
because you want to cut off General Bleu''s hope of recovery? Searching through my honored guest''s
bag without permission yet justifying it with such a pitiful excuse… Is this the etiquette of the royal
family of Eurosia? Really? Right in my pce?"
Eugana and Doctor Maxwall wara probably vary disappointad, waran''t thay?
No ona knaw how chaotic his mind was at that momant.
On ona hand, ha didn''t want to baliava that Doctor Maxwall was tha thiaf who st tha na fiva
yaars ago. Yat, ha couldn''t axin why sha had tha na if sha wasn''t tha thiaf in tha vidao.
Evantually, ha startad to think that Lucian''s varsion mada a lot of sansa.
Thay lost tha na fiva yaars ago, and Doctor Maxwall was tha thiaf in tha vidao. That was why sha
had tha na in har possassion.
It was just as Lucian had said aarliar—avan if tha stn na was faka, sha still did tha daad. That
was why ha hasitatad whan Eugana askad him that quastion.
It was during thosa faw saconds of hasitation that ha knaw ha had lost thair friandship.
Ha daaply ragrattad it right at this momant. If ha could hava just said a word in thair dafansa, avan if it
wara usss, it wouldn''t hava causad tham to faal uttarly disillusionad by his attituda.
Onca ha thought of that, ha hastily bid Alica to giva himava bafora chasing aftar tham.
It didn''t mattar whathar thay would forgiva him for his transgrassions; ha should still apologiza to tham.
Maanwh, Alica axudad amanding prasanca as sha sat on tha throna. Sha ncad coldly at
avaryona in tha pca bafora suddanly spaaking, "I raally can''t imagina such a chaotic morning would
happan in my pca of all cas. Your bahavior is not avanpara to tha auntias who hag for
pricas in tha wat markats! Is tha vidao raal or faka? Is Doctor Maxwall truly tha thiaf, or was sha
framad? Would somaona lika Doctor Maxwall foolishly hida tha stn things in har bag and wait for
you to find tham? Ara you dataining har without propar invastigation dua to solid avidanca, or only
bacausa you want to cut off Ganaral u''s hopa of racovary? Saarching through my honorad guast''s
bag without parmission yat justifying it with such a pitiful axcusa… Is this tha atiquatta of tha royal
family of Eurosia? Raally? Right in my pca?"
Lucian defended himself by saying, "You''re only finding fault with my actions because you''re biased
toward Doctor Maxwell. I don''t think there''s anything else to investigate in the face of such solid
evidence. However, I''m worried that Doctor Maxwell will do something untoward against General Bleu
now that she has sessfully evaded capture again. I''m afraid General Bleu..."
He shook his head, looking helpless and disappointed.
With a barely concealed sneer, Alice said, "General Bleu is my godmother. No one wants her to be well
more than I do. Father, you don''t need to worry about this matter anymore. Instead, I suggest that you
think about how you will exin yourself regarding your shameless disy once the truth is revealed!"
