Chapter 1407 Defiance
Olivia nodded understandingly, but even so, she knew she couldn't stay in the car forever.
Thus, she stepped out of the vehicle along with the rest.
In the meantime, Beatrix, who seemingly heard the commotion, turned around and fixed
her gaze on Olivia. As soon as she saw her and the others, she froze for a moment,
especially when she noticed Eugene's presence. The next second, her heart skipped a
beat and started to race like a jackhammer. How handsome! The aura he is giving off is
full of masculine energy. It's obvious that he is no ordinary person.
Despite the thought of that, Beatrix quickly pulled herself together and reminded herself
of her own place. I'm the princess of this country, so even though I have a crush on him, I
must protect my pride and decency without revealing my feelings. After all, I could have
any man I want with my status.
Beatrix opined that it was Eugene's fortune and honor for her to lay eyes on him.
Meanwhile, River wasn't fond of Beatrix's character, but in spite of that, he was still forced
to greet her formally and courteously. "Your Highness." He walked up to Beatrix and
greeted her.
"I thought you went off looking for the genius doctor? When did you come back?" Beatrix

"Two days ago," River replied.
"Did you find the doctor then?" Beatrix sized him up.
"Yes, I did," River answered.
"Where is he then? Take me to him. Did you guys run a background check on whoever this
person is? You should know how much General Bleu means to Eurosia. For that, you ought
to take extra precautions about anyone who gets close to her."
"Rest assured, Your Highness. Mr. Bleu has already taken care of that matter. They are
absolutely reliable and trustworthy."
"Do you seriously think it's okay to listen to him? Albert is soft and gullible. Furthermore,
his judgment is clouded by his emotions as he is too disturbed by his godmother's
condition, which would leave him susceptible to schemes and lies. Have you forgotten
about the time he hired a lousy doctor to see General Bleu? Her condition got worse and
worse after that. So, take me to this doctor at once! I'll test his skills and see what he is
made of for myself." Beatrix grunted coldly.
Not knowing what to say in response, River turned his attention to Eugene and Olivia.
When Beatrix noticed his reaction, she followed his line of sight and fixed his gaze upon
them. "And who might these two be?" she asked.
After a brief hesitation, River introduced the couple to Beatrix. "This is Mr. Nolan, and the
lady beside him is Miss Maxwell, who is also the genius doctor that Mr. Bleu engaged to
treat General Bleu."
Upon hearing that, Beatrix was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief. At the same time,
she pointed at Olivia in surprise, unable to believe her ears and eyes. "Did you just say
she is the genius doctor?"
In fact, she thought Olivia and Eugene were just Albert's ordinary friends, which she didn't
find surprising due to his wide network of connections. Therefore, when she finally learned
that Olivia was the genius doctor with the help of Eugene, she couldn't help but find it
absurd.
"What do you think a young doctor like her can do? Are you seriously telling me she is the
genius doctor? You've got to be kidding me because she looks like a phony to me."
On the other hand, River furrowed his eyebrows slightly because he didn't want to boast
and end up having to eat his own words as a result. At the same time, he was also worried
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat Beatrix would resort to dirty tricks to set Olivia up after learning what she was
capable of. Thus, he chose his words carefully and said, "No, Miss Maxwell is indeed a
doctor."
Beatrix sneered and raised her head, walking closer to Eugene and Olivia with airs and
graces. Deep down, she thought the two of them would bow down to her out of formality
just like River did, considering the fact that she was Eurosia's respected and worshiped
princess. Besides, every doctor whom Albert hired in the past also bowed to Beatrix when
they saw her because they would rather lose their chances of charging high fees than rub
the princess the wrong way. Therefore, she became frustrated when Eugene and Olivia
didn't respond, even though she was already close to them.
What's on their mind? Are they asking for trouble or something? But… Beatrix hid her
unhappiness and fixed her gaze upon Eugene, trying to act as if she cared about her
people. "Do you guys know who I am?" she asked with a sympathetic tone.
In the meantime, Olivia noticed the subtle change in Beatrix's reaction, knowing she was
interested in her husband. D*mn! What should I do to stop her from harassing my
husband?! When she glimpsed Eugene and noticed that he didn't even bother to look at
Beatrix, she was instantly relieved. Happy and relaxed, she smiled and said, "Guess what?
We don't know who you are."
At that moment, Beatrix curled her lips upward and formed a sneer on her face. She then
called out to River without even looking back. "River."
