Chapter 1117 She Has the Right to Know the Truth

Jewel shook her head. "No, I don't."

Seeing how Jewel's countenance remained unchanged, Olivia felt terribly sorry for her.

Obviously, she doesn't remember what happened back then. Again, she began to hesitate

whether to tell the poor woman or not.

Jewel's eyebrows slowly knitted together, though. For some reason, she started to panic

deep down. Looking at Olivia, she fearfully asked, "What do you mean? Don't tell me that

was my mother's name!"

Olivia was surprised that Jewel actually guessed it so accurately. I guess I don't have to

hide it anymore, then. Looking into Jewel's eyes, she nodded cautiously. "That's what Alex

said. After his mother threatened suicide, he went home wanting to talk to her about you

two, but in the midst of their argument, he found out that his mother had only pretended

to slit her wrist. In a fit of anger, he said a lot of cruel stuff, at which time his mother

finally told the truth. She objected to you two going out and even captured you in an

attempt to send you away because your mother was the mistress back then. Alex once

suspected that you two were half-siblings with the same father, so he secretly had a DNA

test done on you two, which proved that you two aren't related by blood. That being said,

maybe he's still having a hard time accepting it, which is why he asked for a breakup. But

he certainly does love you, or he wouldn't have been so upset. As you can see, he's lost a

lot of weight. Surely he's in anguish too!"

At once, Jewel jumped up from her chair; she simply couldn't believe it. "How is that

possible? It can't be! It's true that I've forgotten about my past, but I do have a vague

impression of my mother. She was a gentle person. How could she possibly be a mistress

who destroyed someone else's family?"

Jewel shook her heod. "No, I don't."

Seeing how Jewel's countenonce remoined unchonged, Olivio felt terribly sorry for her.

Obviously, she doesn't remember whot hoppened bock then. Agoin, she begon to hesitote

whether to tell the poor womon or not.

Jewel's eyebrows slowly knitted together, though. For some reoson, she storted to ponic

deep down. Looking ot Olivio, she feorfully osked, "Whot do you meon? Don't tell me thot

wos my mother's nome!"

Olivio wos surprised thot Jewel octuolly guessed it so occurotely. I guess I don't hove to

hide it onymore, then. Looking into Jewel's eyes, she nodded coutiously. "Thot's whot Alex

soid. After his mother threotened suicide, he went home wonting to tolk to her obout you

two, but in the midst of their orgument, he found out thot his mother hod only pretended

to slit her wrist. In o fit of onger, he soid o lot of cruel stuff, ot which time his mother

he certoinly does love you, or he wouldn't hove been so upset. As you con see, he's lost o

At once, Jewel jumped up from her choir; she simply couldn't believe it. "How is thot

possible? It con't be! It's true thot I've forgotten obout my post, but I do hove o vogue

impression of my mother. She wos o gentle person. How could she possibly be o mistress

who destroyed someone else's fomily?"

Olivia let out a sigh. "I don't really know what happened, but it certainly isn't that Alex

doesn't love you."

Jewel's eyes were full of fear and panic. Without her memories, she didn't even have the

confidence to argue against this. How could she prove that her mother wasn't a

homewrecker who destroyed someone else's family?

Seeing her ghastly expression, Olivia immediately stood up and hugged her. She

comforted her, saying, "Take it easy, Jewel. That's all in the past now. It was all between

Alex's parents and yours, and no one can say for sure who was right or wrong. I didn't

want to tell you at first, but I don't want you to think Alex has moved on to another woman

and doesn't love you anymore. All I want to tell you is that he's just having a hard time

accepting it. He'll come around to it after a while."

Jewel mumbled, "No wonder he said he was confused, that he feared he couldn't make me

happy. Turns out he's also not sure whether he can accept the daughter of a woman who

destroyed his family!"

As soon as she finished her sentence, her phone rang; she picked it up, only to see that it

was a phone call from Alex. She had no intention of answering it, but instead of rejecting

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

it, she merely stared at her phone in a daze. Her mind went blank. She didn't blame Alex

for not knowing what to do. Had she been in his shoes, she would've been at a loss for

what to do, too. If this was true, could their love overcome his hatred of the woman who

had stolen his father and his mother's husband? Of course not! Just how deep did their

love have to be in order to do that?

Olivia looked at Jewel with a frown. The latter still looked dazed, her eyes staring blankly

ahead, as if she hadn't heard her phone ring. All of a sudden, Olivia regretted it somewhat.

Perhaps Eugene was right. She has amnesia; telling her about it would only add to her

troubles. But now that Alex has asked for a breakup, she has the right to know the truth.

And besides, if I kept it from her, she would keep imagining things. She would think it was

because she wasn't good enough or because Alex had fallen in love with someone else,

and she would lose faith in love. But now… she doesn't look any better than when she

came just now. Giving a helpless sigh, she took the still-ringing phone from Jewel and

swiped to answer it.

Before she could even speak, Alex's anxious voice came through the phone. "Jewel, where

are you?"

Olivia frowned slightly. "I'm Olivia."

Alex hurriedly asked, "Olivia, where's Jewel?"

Olivia's face darkened. She could understand that whatever Alex did was understandable,

but perhaps because she was inwardly on Jewel's side, she couldn't help but speak in a

rather confrontational tone.
