Chapter 1140 Sweet Sixty

She sighed and ranted, "I don't even know how things are going between him and Jewel.

I've been haunted by regret for the past few days. Had I not brought it up, they probably

would've made up already."

Eugene consoled, "No need to blame yourself over that. The matter's a ticking bomb

anyway since Jewel would know about it eventually. Rather than surprising her in the

future, she should know about it sooner. Making up or breaking up, it's solely up to them.

Besides, they wouldn't be happy if their relationship was forced. Alex's concerns aren't

unreasonable at all."

With a sigh, Olivia continued, "I know, but still, I can't get over it…"

He replied, "Alright, alright. Stop sighing. I'll invite Mom with Jewel tomorrow so they'll

have more chances to get along. They'll eventually move on, I believe."

The next day, Hayden planned a banquet for his mother, Prunella Sanders, for her sixtieth

birthday at Fairview Hotel. After all, it was a great event in so many years. According to his

mother, who was sad over having no children-in-law or grandchildren, all her birthdays

were simply brushed past. Therefore, he wanted to do something nice for her sweet sixty.

After Eugene and Olivia got off work, they immediately headed to Fairview Hotel, while

Ellen purposely had Jewel accompany her, which the latter naturally could not refuse.

As the party of guests arrived at the hotel, Hayden and Aubrey enthusiastically welcomed

them.

"Mrs. Nolan, you're here as well!"

"You should probably head in there soon. Prunella was just talking about how she misses

you."

Ellen said with a smile, "You've never changed, Aubrey. You're still as young as ever."

"What are you talking about? I can hardly walk now!" Aubrey laughingly jested. "Come. I'll

walk you in. Prunella is in the resting room; Stefanie's here as well! A sisterly reunion for a

sisterly catch-up, huh?"

Ellen was slightly taken aback when she was told that Stefanie was present. She turned

around and held Jewel's hand. "Jewel, why don't you stay with Olivia for a bit? I'll come

back in a sec."

Jewel answered, "Don't worry about me, Godmother. Take your time in there."

After talking to Olivia for a minute, Ellen then entered the resting room.

Olivia was visibly suspicious. If Stefanie's already here, where is Alex? She turned to

Eugene with a confused gaze.

He assured her, "He'll come. He must be caught up in something else."

Although Jewel did not hear Eugene mention any names, she figured it had to be Alex. She

had seen the evidence he showed her, and if the woman was indeed her mother, she

would be utterly speechless. Though, that was merely a baseless instinct that she was

unlikely—even reluctant—to believe as it pertained to her mother.

Therefore, she persistently looked into the matter with Alex by her side. She knew that he

did not care about the outcome. In the man's opinion, the evidence was enough to

convince him that her mother was the homewrecker, and the reason he was willing to

accompany her in her investigation was that she insisted on digging further into the

matter. She would not give up so easily no matter what!

Followingly, Eugene told Olivia and Jewel to grab some food for themselves. After all, as

Hayden's friend, he should not intervene in the matter.

After he left, Olivia and Jewel went to help themselves with the catering. The former then

asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Jewel shook her head. "No progress so far. We went to the journalists, cops, and my

mother's past residences and even tried to visit our old neighbors. Sadly, they either

moved or passed away. The journalists and cops couldn't find any useful information at the

moment since the matter had taken place too far in the past."

"So, are you going to continue?" asked Olivia.

Jewel answered, "Of course! I can't allow my mother to be known as a homewrecker for no

reason!"

Olivia softly consoled, "Don't fight or trouble yourself. You can probably see Alex's attitude

by now. He's already chosen to be on your side."

Jewel replied, "And that does nothing. He chose to be on my side, but that doesn't mean

he'd unconditionally accept me in the future. Should a feud arise between us, this will be a

catalyst to a foreseeable disaster. Honestly, I don't have the confidence to remain

steadfast as I stay by his side."
