Chapter 1462 Don’t View People Through Rose-Colored Glasses
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 to compare herself to others. She
alternated between tears and laughter. "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 blankly 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.

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 Cabinet Consuls? Initially, I didn't
plan 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 glasses 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 too late, 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
unprecedented compliance.
They hadn't expected the young girl to be so astute and proactive, seemingly aware of
Lucian's every move. She displayed 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.

Bailey, Mr. Warwick, interrogate and legally deal with all those involved in today's
rebellion. Investigate any external collaborations 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 collaborations. 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
outcome. Of course, if any of you have objections, I hope you'll bring them to my attention
directly, and we'll address them."
