    Chapter 1462 Don’t View People Through Rose-Colored sses


    Eugene remained expressionless. He appeared cold and ruthless to any woman other than Olivia.


    "Because you and your actions were not only against Alice but also against my wife," he revealed.


    Such a casually spoken sentence!


    Beatrix chuckled, realizing how foolish she had been topare herself to others. She alternated


    between tears andughter. "Yes, I''m sorry to your wife, and I''m sorry to Alice too, but I haven''t


    wronged you. I even informed you for self-preservation. Why did you use me?"


    "My wife''s enemies are my enemies," Eugene replied. "You don''t have to doubt that."


    At that moment, Beatrix forgot to cry. She stared nkly at the heartless man before her. He said that


    his wife''s enemies were his enemies, so whether she lived or died, he didn''t care. How could his heart


    be so cold?

    Disappointment filled her eyes as she withdrew her gaze and slowly walked over to Albert. She


    dropped to her knees with a loud thud and banged her head forcefully on the ground, saying, "I''m sorry,


    Dad, it''s my fault. I let my guard down, and it led to your downfall. It''s all my fault…"


    With each sentence she spoke, she banged her head on the ground as if doing so would relieve the


    guilt in her heart.


    Blood started to flow from her forehead after a while, but she didn''t seem to notice the pain and


    continued until Alice ordered someone to pull her up.


    "Even without Eugene''s recording, your father was still unforgivable," said Alice. "I''ve been


    investigating evidence against him for a while. Do you think I didn''t notice when he secretly tried to gain


    power and formed alliances with Cab Consuls? Initially, I didn''t n to have him killed, but he chose


    to rebel suddenly, and he even kidnapped General Bleu. His fate was well-deserved."


    Eugene looked at the disheveled woman before him and calmly added, "Don''t view people through


    rose-colored sses in the future. The person you like may not be as good as you think."


    Beatrix sat on the ground, tears shimmering in her eyes, looking at the lofty man. The tears that had


    just stopped instantly burst out again as she cried loudly. She wasn''t sure if she was crying because


    Eugene finally spoke gently or because she regretted knowing the truth toote, leading to her father''s


    death.


    Annoyed, Alice ordered her people to take Beatrix away.


    Lucian might be dead, but Beatrix had also been involved in various aspects of these events. She


    wouldn''t be sentenced to death, but she would certainly spend some time in prison.


    Lucian''s co-conspirators in the rebellion were also escorted to the dungeons by Doreen''s guards,


    awaiting their fate.


    What needed to be sorted out was sorted, and what needed to be taken care of was taken care of.


    The sudden turn of events had significantly silenced the grand hall. The once defiant consul members


    were now meekly seated in their original positions, exhibiting unprecedentedpliance.


    They hadn''t expected the young girl to be so astute and proactive, seemingly aware of Lucian''s every


    move. She disyed intelligence and courage, and her audacious move to try and trade herself for


    Doreen had left everyone in awe. Nobody dared to make light of her again.


    After all that, Alice returned to her position as queen and began to issue orders. "Mr. Bailey, Mr.


    Warwick, interrogate and legally deal with all those involved in today''s rebellion. Investigate any


    external coborations Lucian might have had thoroughly."


    "Yes," Azriel and Isidore Warwick responded promptly.


    Alice continued, "Albert, investigate all the projects that were under Lucian''s control. Check for any


    external coborations. Be thorough!"


    "Yes," Albert replied as well.


    Finally, she turned to everyone present. "Today''s events have left me feeling somewhat saddened. I


    know I''m still young, and I handle many things imperfectly. However, I''m learning and growing every


    day. As long as my boundaries aren''t crossed, I can turn a blind eye to certain matters. Even though I


    knew that Lucian and Beatrix didn''t like me, and that they conspired against me behind the scenes,


    putting pressure on some of our consul members to hinder my efforts to treat General Bleu, and even


    when they tried to frame Olivia, I still considered them family and wanted to leave them an out.


    "But today, Lucian led a rebellion into the hall, openly plotting against me and using General Bleu as a


    hostage. I can''t tolerate that. I hope you all can understand this oue. Of course, if any of you have


    objections, I hope you''ll bring them to my attention directly, and we''ll address them."
