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 unpleasantness last time. I
wanted to explain 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 apartment complex. 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
ambulance. 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 speculate 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 necklace. 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 explained, “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 necklace? 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 clarified, “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 explain 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, Albert composed himself, and fearing that Olivia might become enraged again, he
said, “The person who was taken away by the police last 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.”
Nonetheless, 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 glanced at River.
In the meantime, River stood up and bowed deeply to Olivia. “Miss Maxwell, I apologize for my
impoliteness during our last 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 can compensate 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 surveillance, and I was looking for a place 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 in combat, 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.”
