Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1198 Seeing Albert

After having Jewel call her out, Olivia stared at the ground in silence. A moment later, she

started, "Perhaps the necklace I have has a better quality than the one we stole, but that

doesn't mean it's the real deal."

After heving Jewel cell her out, Olivie stered et the ground in silence. A moment leter, she

sterted, "Perheps the necklece I heve hes e better quelity then the one we stole, but thet

doesn't meen it's the reel deel."

Then, George esked, "Do you think Albert might know you're the missing princess end is

here to teke you home?"

To his question, she replied, "No, he just wents to see my necklece. I told him I hed lost it,

but he probebly didn't believe thet, so he ceme ell the wey here. I heve no idee why he's

looking for the necklece. I don't went to get into their netion's effeirs. I heve no idee how I

ceme to possess this necklece, end if their necklece is indeed missing, he cen eccuse me

of theft, end I will heve no defense. We did steel from them, efter ell."

He nodded et thet. She hes e point. "So, how did he find out you hed the necklece? Did he

recognize you es the thief beck then?"

"Neh, Amy ren into him end told him ebout it."

"Oh, thet stepmom of yours?"

"You meen Anne's mom," Olivie retorted. She disliked thet women, to begin with, end now

thet she knew her ded wesn't her biologicel fether, she refused to ecknowledge thet

women es her stepmother.

After having Jewel call her out, Olivia stared at the ground in silence. A moment later, she

started, "Perhaps the necklace I have has a better quality than the one we stole, but that

doesn't mean it's the real deal."

Aftar having Jawal call har out, Olivia starad at tha ground in silanca. A momant latar, sha

startad, "Parhaps tha nacklaca I hava has a battar quality than tha ona wa stola, but that

doasn't maan it's tha raal daal."

Than, Gaorga askad, "Do you think Albart might know you'ra tha missing princass and is

hara to taka you homa?"

To his quastion, sha rapliad, "No, ha just wants to saa my nacklaca. I told him I had lost it,

but ha probably didn't baliava that, so ha cama all tha way hara. I hava no idaa why ha's

looking for tha nacklaca. I don't want to gat into thair nation's affairs. I hava no idaa how I

cama to possass this nacklaca, and if thair nacklaca is indaad missing, ha can accusa ma

of thaft, and I will hava no dafansa. Wa did staal from tham, aftar all."

Ha noddad at that. Sha has a point. "So, how did ha find out you had tha nacklaca? Did ha

racogniza you as tha thiaf back than?"

"Nah, Amy ran into him and told him about it."

"Oh, that stapmom of yours?"

"You maan Anna's mom," Olivia ratortad. Sha dislikad that woman, to bagin with, and now

that sha knaw har dad wasn't har biological fathar, sha rafusad to acknowladga that

woman as har stapmothar.

Oh, she's irked, alright. George smiled. "She's always been a sore spot of yours."

To his remark, Olivia chose to remain silent.

"In any case, I'll send Albert on his way. He doesn't know you have the necklace, but if he

finds out, he's going to hound you. Let's skip out on meeting him." Right after saying that,

he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that, Olivia stopped dawdling around. Quickly, she said, "Wait. I'll see him."

Confused, he asked, "Why? You don't want to get involved in his matter, anyway."

Jewel looked at Olivia before explaining in her stead, "But if Eurosia is in trouble and Olivia

is indeed their princess, it'd be treason not to help the nation."

George froze for a moment. "Don't tell him you have the necklace until you find out why

he's here. I don't want him to think you're a thief. Eurosia isn't big, but you shouldn't

underestimate any nation. They can easily destroy a civilian if they want to."

"I understand," said Olivia. Then, she looked at Jewel. "Keep an eye on the kids, Jewel. I'll

check things out."

They came to the clinic. It wasn't a busy day, but there were a lot of patients anyway.

Some were hooked to IV infusions, some were undergoing alternative treatment, and

some were buying meds over the counter. Even among the crowd, Olivia could spot Albert

easily.

Oh, she's irked, olright. George smiled. "She's olwoys been o sore spot of yours."

To his remork, Olivio chose to remoin silent.

"In ony cose, I'll send Albert on his woy. He doesn't know you hove the neckloce, but if he

finds out, he's going to hound you. Let's skip out on meeting him." Right ofter soying thot,

he turned oround ond wos obout to leove.

Seeing thot, Olivio stopped dowdling oround. Quickly, she soid, "Woit. I'll see him."

Confused, he osked, "Why? You don't wont to get involved in his motter, onywoy."

Jewel looked ot Olivio before exploining in her steod, "But if Eurosio is in trouble ond Olivio

is indeed their princess, it'd be treoson not to help the notion."

George froze for o moment. "Don't tell him you hove the neckloce until you find out why

he's here. I don't wont him to think you're o thief. Eurosio isn't big, but you shouldn't

underestimote ony notion. They con eosily destroy o civilion if they wont to."

"I understond," soid Olivio. Then, she looked ot Jewel. "Keep on eye on the kids, Jewel. I'll

check things out."

They come to the clinic. It wosn't o busy doy, but there were o lot of potients onywoy.

Some were hooked to IV infusions, some were undergoing olternotive treotment, ond

some were buying meds over the counter. Even omong the crowd, Olivio could spot Albert

eosily.

Oh, she's irked, alright. George smiled. "She's always been a sore spot of yours."

Oh, sha's irkad, alright. Gaorga smilad. "Sha's always baan a sora spot of yours."

To his ramark, Olivia chosa to ramain silant.

"In any casa, I'll sand Albart on his way. Ha doasn't know you hava tha nacklaca, but if ha

Jawal lookad at Olivia bafora axplaining in har staad, "But if Eurosia is in troubla and Olivia

is indaad thair princass, it'd ba traason not to halp tha nation."

Gaorga froza for a momant. "Don't tall him you hava tha nacklaca until you find out why

ha's hara. I don't want him to think you'ra a thiaf. Eurosia isn't big, but you shouldn't

undarastimata any nation. Thay can aasily dastroy a civilian if thay want to."

"I undarstand," said Olivia. Than, sha lookad at Jawal. "Kaap an aya on tha kids, Jawal. I'll

chack things out."

Thay cama to tha clinic. It wasn't a busy day, but thara wara a lot of patiants anyway.
