Chapter 1143 A Familiar Face
Ellen explained, "Of course, I'm not angry! Just by looking at you, I don't need to know
your mother to know what kind of person she is. It's the first time I've heard Stefanie
being so unreasonable. I used to feel sympathetic for her and her son, assuming they
were abandoned, but seeing how things are now, it's all karma!"
Eugene and Olivia peered at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. Stefanie
must have crossed the lines with her words, given how she managed to anger his ever-so-
gentle mother.
"How did you end up talking about Jewel's mother?" he asked.
Ellen answered, "Seeing how Jewel and Alex were always so awkward with each other, I
decided to offer some suggestions and advice. Then, she decided to vent all her
frustrations with twisted, offensive remarks, claiming Jewel's mother to be a homewrecker
and how she'll never agree to spend her life with Jewel, no matter how well-mannered she
is. That made me so angry! She probably doesn't even remember how she first got
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttogether with Edmont. Yet, she's talking crap about others! Jewel would live in hell if she
were to get married to that family!"
As she spoke, she turned to Jewel and advised, "Jewel, you shouldn't be with Alex
anymore. No matter how good of a man he is, with his wicked mother present, I don't want
to be anywhere near him. I'll introduce you to someone much, much better. I'll never allow
my precious daughter to be treated so poorly!"
Seeing how protective Ellen was of her, Jewel felt a tingle in her nose, after which she held
Ellen's arm and charmingly agreed. "As you wish, Godmother!"
With that, Olivia burst out in laughter. "Don't get mad, Mrs. Nolan. Jewel already told Alex
of her wish to break up."
Ellen replied, "Good. Leave the mother-son duo and see what kind of daughter-in-law she
can find after scorning my daughter. I'm a million times better than her!"
Entertained by the situation, Eugene whispered to Olivia, "Aren't you so treasured by your
mother-in-law?"
Olivia boastfully answered, "Do you believe she treasures me more than she does you?"
He casually replied, "Impossible. At the end of the day, I am her son."
With a challenging gaze, she stared at him. "Even with the four sons I'm carrying?"
He then revealed a sour grin. "Well played. I can hardly compete with you. With four of
them on your side, my mother will very soon forget about her son."
Sympathetically, she patted his shoulder. "So, be a good boy, or you'll lose your position."
Hearing that, Eugene was rendered speechless.
While the four were happily chatting, a commotion arose at the entrance, to which the
crowd turned to the door, only to see a couple walking in. The man was around the age of
fifty and slightly chubby, though chivalry flowed throughout his entire physique.
In his arms was a woman in her forties. She wore a plain dress that accentuated her curvy
lines. Her eyebrows were tender, and her aura was extraordinary, displaying her well-
maintained figure.
While the crowd was guessing who they were, Jewel subconsciously took a step toward the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcouple, her eyes glued to them filled with disbelief. Isn't that…
Catching Jewel's movement, Olivia asked, "What's wrong, Jewel? Do you know them?"
Thereupon, Ellen took a couple of steps forward with a daze in her eyes. "That's Edmont
Road and Winnie Parker!"
Olivia was stunned as she had been hearing the names of those two frequently. Aren't
they Alex's father and the so-called homewrecker who ruined their family? Why are they
here?
Lights of hope surged in Jewel's eyes. Truth be told, she had forgotten how her mother
looked and did not even know whether she was still alive. If it were not for Stefanie's
baseless accusations of her mother being a homewrecker, she would have thought she
was brought into the world by a stork.
Such a face was too familiar, so much so that Jewel looked at it every single day. Apart
from the marks of time, there was not a spot of difference on her face.
Is she… my mother?
