Chapter 1040 Explain Yourself
Olivia's gaze abruptly intensified as she grabbed Azalea's arm and declared, "Bully you? You haven't seen anything
yet. It's fine if you have a crush on Eugene. I mean, my boyfriend is attractive and wealthy. There's a queue of
people from south to north in this city who admire him. But I've never encountered someone with such audacity
and thick skin like you."
Azalea angrily retorted, "W-What are you talking about? Eugene and I are just friends."
Olivia sneered. "Is it because he never bestowed upon you a different status? If he were to reveal a bit, you could
easily become his mistress or end up a homewrecker. You're a princess, yet you act shamelessly to win a man. You
may covet the things I like, but it's entirely up to you whether you can claim them. If you fail, stop deluding yourself
and preserve your dignity as royalty!" With that, she pushed Azalea out directly!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAzalea fell to the ground immediately. Eugene glanced at her but remained still, showing his anger. Shannon
observed the situation and took the initiative to help her up.
Only then did he look at Azalea and say, "Go back first. If you need to go to work, contact Curtis directly. If you don't
feel like going, take a break."
He then looked at Shannon. "Shannon, take Princess Azalea back."
Shannon responded, "Understood."
Azalea's gaze was filled with hatred as she glanced at Olivia and Eugene. Without saying a word, she obediently
followed Shannon and left.
As the door closed, North tactfully entered the guest room to find the Rogers siblings, leaving Eugene and Olivia
behind in the living room.
She remained silent and stared coldly at Eugene with her arms crossed.
Guilty, he immediately put on a pleasing smile. "You're so smart and domineering."
She glared at him. "Quit the compliment."
Realizing that Olivia responded to him, Eugene resorted to his shameless nature and embraced her. He asked, "H-
How did you know she was putting on an act?"
She pushed him away with a stern face and said disdainfully, "Don't touch me with the same hands that have
embraced other women."
He was stunned. Didn't she realize that Azalea was acting?
Anxious, he explained, "I didn't hug her."
"I saw it with my own eyes," Olivia retorted and walked inside.
Eugene hurriedly caught up. "You misunderstood me. I was just helping her up." He demonstrated his action to her
as he spoke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNoticing his anxious expression, she secretly laughed while maintaining her stern demeanor. She glared at him.
"Don't think that you can avoid taking responsibility by saying Azalea was acting. You better tell me the truth. Why
was she at your place, and why did she appear distressed?"
No matter how many words he had, he felt he could not explain it clearly. "I don't know either. I have no idea how
she ended up here. I went to open the door for you, and she lunged at me out of nowhere. I was afraid she might
fall into my arms, and since you didn't allow me to embrace you, I just used my hand to help her up. And that's
when I saw her like that. She did it on her own!"
Olivia lowered her head, struggling to suppress a hint of a smile before deliberately challenging him. "How is that
possible? Princess Azalea is known for her grace, sensibility, and impeccable manners. How could she behave in
such a way? Are you attempting to deceive me? Could it be that she was also here last night?"
Eugene was at a loss for words as her statements became increasingly absurd. "No, what are you talking about?
She came over in the morning. I have a witness to confirm it." As he spoke, he hurriedly went into the guest room.
