“You… you don’t know what is good for you. You will regret this one day!” Stefanie shouted. “I feel sorry for Alex for having a mother like you, Brian retorted as he unhesitatingly opened the door. “Please leave. We don’t welcome you here!”
Just like that, he drove Stefanie away. Sitting on the couch, Ellen complained out of frustration. “When did she become such a bitter person? She condemned Jewel so harshly like Jewel doesn’t have one thing that is good about her. I’m worried that Jewel will suffer if she really ends up with Alex. She’s way too kind. I need to talk to her and tell her to keep her distance from Alex.”
As she muttered to herself, she took out her phone to make a call. Brian quickly snatched the phone out of her hand when he saw this.
“Why would you call Jewel? Alex is the one who is pursuing her, and she hasn’t agreed to be with him yet. Why do you think she hasn’t agreed yet? It’s because she’s aware of the situation in Alex’s family. Instead of calling Jewel, you should be calling Alex. Tell him not to come after your daughter if he can’t handle the problems well. That is the right way to protect our own.”
Ellen suddenly thought it was reasonable when she heard that. However, she paused after taking her phone back and looked at Brian with uneasy eyes. “But I’ll be snitching on Stefanie… I’ll be sowing discord between a mother and son.”
“Hmph! More like we are giving her a taste of her own medicine,” he muttered. “She can come to our house and say whatever she wants, but we’re not allowed to respond in the same way?”
“Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Won’t we become just like her if we tell on her?”
Brian pondered for a moment before he smirked mischievously. “Let your eldest son handle it, then! After all, that woman scolded your daughter-in-law!”
In the Nolan Group. Eugene was still trying to understand every word he heard after ending a call from Brian.
It seemed that Stefanie had a conversation with Jewel last night and was scolded by Olivia. And he said that Olivia was with another man in the middle of the night? But wasn’t Olivia with me? Did they meet after we parted ways?
He thought for a moment before he decided to call Olivia to confirm the story. The phone rang several times before it was answered. “Are you resting?’ Eugene asked. “Uh-huh. I just started relaxing a while ago. Have you had your meal?”
“Not yet, Eugene replied. “I just received a call from Brian. He said that Alex’s mother went to my mother and said a lot of bad things about Jewel and you. What exactly happened last night?”
Olivia was speechless upon hearing that. “She had the audacity to go to your mother? What was she thinking? I’m glad Alex didn’t take after his mother’s intelligence, or else Road Enterprises wouldn’t have existed. She pissed me off so bad last night.”
She didn’t hide anything about what happened. last night and recounted everything, including. Christoff’s assistance, to Eugene. She was open and honest without leaving anything out.
Finally, she added angrily, “If it weren’t for Jewel stopping me from calling Alex, I would have. called him right away. What kind of mother is that woman? She thinks Jewel is an easy target, huh? She acts like there’s no one backing Jewel!”
As Eugene listened to the furious voice on the other end of the line, he strangely felt a sense of calm in his heart. That intimate feeling between him and Olivia had returned.
With a smile, he echoed, “Exactly. How dare she touch one of the Nolans? Don’t worry. I’ll help you vent your anger.”
“What are you going to do?” Olivia asked suspiciously, to which he vaguely responded, “Whoever started it will be the one to end it.” “Are you going to tell Alex? But Jewel said not to do that.”
Eugene snorted. “Jewel doesn’t want to confront Alex’s mother because she is kind. However, I will not tolerate having one of my own bullied, especially when it’s directed at my girlfriend. You can stop worrying about this.”
Olivia didn’t mind it much. After all, this matter had to be resolved if Jewel and Alex wanted to be together in the future.
“Okay, then. Do as you please. Just don’t make things too sour between the people involved. You can remind Alex appropriately. It wouldn’t be good if it leads to a rift between the mother. and son.”
“Got it.”
