Chapter 1437 The Long-Lost Sister

What Albert was most worried about had actually happened. How could life be so dramatic?

He had just let Olivia down, feeling immensely guilty, and now he was told that the person he had disappointed was none other than the long-lost sister he had been desperately searching for.

He looked at Hugh with a mix of embarrassment and anger. "Hugh, are you kidding me? Do you think I don't feel guilty enough?"

Hugh sighed and addressed Albert, "Mr. Bleu, I didn't lie to you. Take a look at this."

Then, he handed Olivia's adoption certificate to Albert. "As you can see, it says here that Miss Maxwell was found in that doctor's office. That was where your mother, the queen, temporarily placed her back then. Furthermore, I've verified that this necklace is the same one your mother put on your sister back then."

After Albert finished reading, his already shaky body fell to the ground. He muttered with pain and frustration, "How is this possible? If you have the real necklace, why didn't you show it?"

If she had shown it earlier, he wouldn't have fallen prey to Lucian's manipulation and misunderstood their intentions. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Olivia explained, "It’s because I didn't know for sure if the necklace was real, and I wasn't clear about our relationship. Are we siblings or half-siblings? Would there be any rivalry between us, or would I become a mere pawn in your political games? So, I kept probing to find out what you were doing with

the necklace. Are there people coveting the queen's throne, or is it true that your country's necklace is lost? As time went on and we spent more time together, I came to understand you better. I can feel that you sincerely treat me as a friend. That's why I agreed to come to Eurosia for the sake of General Bleu's illness and her importance to you. I planned to wait until General Bleu's condition improved a bit and secretly ask her about the necklace, but I didn't expect this incident to happen in the palace today. Eugene was worried about my safety, so he had to inform General Bleu in advance."

Suddenly, everything made sense to Albert.

Yes, of course! She was Olivia, and her husband was Eugene. They were leading a happy and sweet life with four bright and lovely sons. If it weren't for him, why would she have willingly stepped into this situation?

Yet, he let her down after she went through hardships for him, braving difficulties and traveling to this unfamiliar place for his sake.

Most importantly, she was his sister!

Why didn't he stand up for her at the crucial moment?

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Sis. In reality, I wasn't looking for the necklace. I was looking for you. You are my biological sister—the one who shares the same parents as Alice! You are the sister that our mother and godmother have always thought about. What have I done?" Guilt consumed him as he covered his face with both hands, and his voice choked with sobs.

Olivia observed him like this, feeling a pang of discomfort in her heart, although she was really furious at that time.

What was really going on? How could she be his full-blood sister?

She frowned and questioned again, "Didn't you say that your mother, the queen, only gave birth to you and Alice after she ascended the throne? So, am I not the biological sister of Beatrix?"

Albert calmed down a bit and clarified, "No, I mentioned before that Lucian was the queen's designated husband, but before that, our mother liked our father. However, our grandmother disapproved of our father and thought he was not worthy of our mother. She forcibly separated them and arranged for another woman for our father to make our mother give up on him. Later, our mother found out that she was pregnant. She was worried that our grandmother would find out, and to avoid a family feud, she willingly gave up her right to the throne and went into hiding. But our father always loved our mother, and his supposed engagement to the other woman was in name only. It wasn't until our mother ascended the throne that they reunited, then had me and Alice."

Olivia couldn't digest it for a while. So, that was the story. She always thought that the royal family valued solely power and interests, and their emotions were very shallow, but she didn't expect there to be such depth of genuine feelings.

Alice, who had been silently listening for a while, was astonished. She looked at Doreen with a hopeful gaze and asked, "Godmother? Is it true? Is she my sister?"

Doreen nodded and squeezed out a word from her throat, "Yes!"
