Chapter 1431 Avril
Olivia pushed her to the edge of the bed and picked up the adoption certificate,
explaining, "I don't know who I am either. One of the reasons I came here to treat you was
to ask you about my identity. I didn't expect your illness to be so severe. My original
intention was to show you this when you were feeling better. However, the Queen
summoned us today. Since we are outnumbered, my husband sent this here in case
something happened to me. Fortunately, Mr. Plumpton arrived in time today. Otherwise,
we might not have been able to leave the palace."
Doreen became agitated again and looked at Hugh as if asking what was going on.
Hugh, who had been by her side for a long time, understood her with just a glance and
quickly explained, "Lucian and Beatrix found your 'Tears of the Ocean' necklace in Miss
Maxwell's bag."
Doreen looked at him in surprise, gesturing for him to continue.
Hugh said, "I just checked, and your necklace is indeed missing. I have already sent
someone to investigate this matter."
Then, she looked at Olivia again, her eyes filled with tenderness as if saying that she was
sorry that Olivia had been wronged.

Fortunately, the Queen trusts me and has been speaking up for us."
Doreen nodded, her eyes full of approval.
Olivia smiled and continued, "I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, but not only do I have
this adoption certificate, I also have this."
As she spoke, she took out the sapphire necklace from her pocket.
Doreen stared at the sapphire necklace, her eyes becoming misty as she murmured
weakly, "A-Avril."
She tried to raise her hand to touch Olivia.
Alas, she could barely move her hand even after struggling for a long time.
Nonetheless, Olivia understood what Doreen meant and took the initiative to hold
Doreen's hand and gently placed it on her cheek. "Avril… Was that my name?"
Doreen nodded vigorously.
Olivia also smiled, her eyes sparkling. "General Bleu, please arrange for a paternity test
for us."
Doreen vehemently shook her head and muttered stubbornly, "You are... Avril!"
The moment she laid her gaze on Olivia, she knew that Olivia was the daughter Blanchett
had been searching for many, many years.
It's really Avril. She returned all on her own.
Unfortunately, Blanchett never had the chance to see her own daughter before she passed
away.
She had so many words to say, but she couldn't say them.
Why did Avril only return now?
Why didn't Avril come home when I was still well and capable of speech?
She was anxious, aggrieved, and heartbroken. Yet, she couldn't voice any of that as all she
could do was cry.
Fortunately, Hugh understood the words she couldn't say and took the initiative to speak
on her behalf, "General Bleu, don't worry. I know what you want to say. I will be your
mouthpiece."
He looked at Olivia and said, "Miss Maxwell, General Bleu's only wish in this life is to find
you and inform Queen Blanchett that her long-lost daughter is now home. She stared right
at you for a long time the moment she saw you. Doreen should have recognized you right
then and there. Isn't that right?"
He turned to gaze at Doreen.

smugness in her gaze.
Hugh also smiled when he caught sight of that. "Finding you was also the dying wish of the
former Queen. When General Bleu could still speak, she instructed the Young Master and I
to find the necklace, which was actually a way to find you. If we find the necklace, we
should be able to find you. Miss Maxwell, can you show me the necklace?"
Olivia glanced at Doreen and only handed the necklace to Hugh after receiving Doreen's
reassuring gaze.
Hugh immediately whisked out a magnifying glass and carefully examined it. After a while,
he nodded. "It is indeed Blanchett's former necklace."
Olivia said, "I know you believe me, but today at the palace, Alice almost went against the
entire court to defend me. In order to back her up, just an adoption certificate and a
necklace may not be enough. We still need to do a paternity test just to shut the
naysayers up!"
Doreen replied resolutely, "Okay."
Olivia frowned as she thought through her options. She could easily do a paternity test,
but who would be the other recipient?
