Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1449 Allegations

Before Alice could speak, Albert interrupted, "Who else would instigate this? Any discerning person can see that. Otherwise, why would you target Miss Maxwell? Why did Ada die for no reason? And why did the guard say he gave you Doctor Maxwell's bag because of your orders? These cabinet consuls, I don't believe they have anything better to do than to pressure the Queen all day long. Isn't it because you instigated them?"

Lucian narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Albert, stop spreading baseless rumors. Did you see me kill Ada? I suspect that Olivia is a thief, so what's wrong with having the guards check her bag? What's more, the thoughts of the Cabinet Consuls are not something I can control. If they all find fault, it proves that Alice's actions are indeed biased. Can you blame me for this? I've worked hard for so many years, striving for fairness, but in the end, it seems I've been in vain. I never expected that, in the end, you and your sister would suspect me like this."

"Ada was in charge of managing General Bleu's necklace. On the first day that Miss Maxwell was falsely accused, Ada escaped. When I found her three days later by the river, there was a piece of tissue in her fingernail, which was confirmed to be from your subordinate, Andreas. How do you explain that?" Albert sneered.

Lucian's heart sank, but he remained calm on the surface. Andreas was a loyal assassin trained by his father since he was young. He was confident that Andreas would never betray him.

He composed himself and said, "Although Andreas is my subordinate, he is also a person with thoughts. Why don't you ask him about this instead of me?"

"The person in charge of the necklace escaped on the first day, and the necklace appeared in Miss Maxwell's bag on the second day. On the third day, your subordinate Andreas killed her. Isn't it possible

that Ada had no more value to you, so Andreas killed her to silence her?" Albert said.

Lucian smirked after hearing that. "Are you making baseless accusations? Then, I can completely suspect that Olivia forced Ada to hand over the necklace. Ada was afraid of punishment and had to escape at night. Olivia wanted to escape as well, but she was summoned by the Queen, so she didn't have time to transfer the necklace. That's why she put it in her bag. As for whether Andreas murdered Ada, I truly don't know. Perhaps you should inquire more carefully. I hope we don't let a bad person go free and wrongly accuse an innocent one. Albert, when investigating, it's all about the evidence. Don't throw baseless accusations at me. After all, I'm your father. Even if you don't respect me, my status is still here. It's not for a junior like you to recklessly speculate!"

Albert was infuriated by Lucian's words. Lucian was indeed good at sophistry. He took a deep breath and said, "I won't let it go just like this! Today, I will make you admit defeat. Putting on baseless accusations is your specialty, right? You only suspect that Miss Maxwell might be a thief, so you take out her bag and search through it. This action alone is suspicious. Could it be that you had already planned it?"

He played a short video clip and pointed at the screen with a pen. "I have watched the surveillance footage from the storage room to the palace hall repeatedly, and I finally found some clues. Look, the guard seems normal on the surface, but he changed hands twice when passing the bag. Each time, he unzipped it. He said it was ordered by Lucian. Did you see it? The zipper of the bag is already open now..."

"But I still haven't figured out how the necklace appeared in the bag until I slowed down the video. Everyone, take a closer look here. When Lucian took the bag from the guard, a string of white things instantly fell into the bag. That's General Bleu's 'Tears of the Ocean.' I have to say that Lucian is very fast, as it only took a fraction of a second. If I hadn't watched it repeatedly, I wouldn't have noticed it at all."

With that, he stood up straight and looked at Lucian, "Do you have anything else to say?"
