Chapter 1119 Don’t You Want to Be With Me
“No, I just got out of it. What’s the matter?”
Olivia heard the door being closed on the other end, which led her to assume that he had just returned to his office. So, without hiding anything, she told him what had just happened in full detail, including what she had said when Jewel came to her studio this morning and how Alex said he never asked for a breakup when he called afterward. Finally, she added, “I can’t help feeling that I shouldn’t have told Jewel the truth. She’s devastated.”
Eugene comforted her, saying, “It’s okay. She has to know about this, anyway, and it’s better for her to know this sooner than later. They have to stay together of their own volition, not because one of them gets to choose while the other can only be chosen. That would be unfair to Jewel. Now that she’s learned the truth, whether or not she still wants to be with Alex is her own choice. They’re both adults, so don’t worry. Whatever decision they make, they’re going to make it after careful consideration.”
Listening to his comforting words, Olivia felt much better. She couldn’t help but tease him, “That’s a quick change of stance on your part, Eugene.”
Eugene let out a chuckle. “Is that so? There’s only one standard that matters to me.”
Meanwhile, Alex turned pale at once. He asked with a catch in his voice, “Jewel, d-don’t you want to be with me?”
Jewel looked at the man in disappointment. She stepped back unconsciously, but her tears betrayed her. “Eight years ago, your mother stopped us from being together because of this. Why didn’t she mention this when I first met her? Why did you mess with me again and again despite knowing her objection? And now, you wantonly sling mud at my mother and me, taking advantage of the fact that I don’t remember anything! Well, let’s set aside the question of whether my mom really destroyed your family or not. Even if it was true, you should settle the score with the one you’re supposed to do so with! What right have you to treat me like this? I never took the initiative to mess with you; it was you who kept pestering me the whole time. What entitles you to want a breakup and then make it up with me as you please? What right do you have, Alex Road?!”
