Chapter 1153 Drive Him Away
"Enough!" Edmont shouted regretfully. "Stop arguing. It's all my fault. What's the point of
accusing who's right and who's wrong now? No matter what happens, don't let our
grudges affect Alex and Jean. If the two children truly love each other, let's support them!"
"Support them?" Stefanie snorted, "Don't even think about it!"
Irked by her reply, Alex frowned again. "The situation is already clear. Not only does
blaming any of you have nothing to do with Jewel and me, but none of you have the right
to stop us, either!"
"As long as you are my son, I will never agree!" Stefanie declared, and Alex wouldn't back
down either. "In that case, you're making me sever our mother-son relationship!"
The mother and son came to a standstill once more.
It seemed that bringing up the past did nothing. Stefanie still harbored resentment toward
Winnie and Edmont. She still refused to accept Alex and Jewel being together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe air suddenly fell into a silent loop.
At that, Olivia took a deep breath and glanced around to read the room before speaking
up softly, "Mrs. Road, I understand that this is a family matter, and I shouldn't interfere.
But Jewel is my best friend, whom I've gone through thick and thin with, and my
boyfriend's foster sister. My boyfriend also happens to be sworn brothers with Alex. I still
want to advise you, Mrs. Road. People often say that there's always something to gain
after losing. Although your marriage with Mr. Road isn't fortunate, you have an
outstanding son. He's handsome, decent, and the renowned CEO of Road Enterprises, Alex
Road. Who doesn't know him? Women from all over the city want to be his, yet for more
than twenty years, you two have relied on each other. No matter what happens, he always
takes care of your feelings and almost obeys your words. It was your care and nurture that
has led to his achievements today."
Although Stefanie didn't particularly like Olivia, thinking that she would only speak in favor
of Jewel, she listened with a sense of resentment, but upon hearing what she said, she felt
somewhat relieved and even proud.
Yes, her son had always been excellent!
She snuck a peek at her son, who was holding Jewel's hand tightly as if afraid of losing
her, and her heart twinged.
At that, she murmured, "If so many women want to be his, why can't he love someone
else?"
"Yeah, why can't he love someone else?" Olivia echoed. "Isn't it simply because he only
loves that one person? You were also once young, Mrs. Road, so you should understand
this feeling of unwavering love—and even adoration. I heard you asking Miss Parker why
she didn't pursue other relationships after you married Mr. Road. Now, I'd like to ask you:
why haven't you remarried all these years?"
Stefanie glared daggers at her as if her thoughts had been suddenly exposed. "What are
you trying to say?" she retorted, being defensive.
Olivia smiled. "I'm trying to say that emotions defy reason. Even if someone hurts you or

your son, and his temperament and character naturally come from you. What wrong does
he have? He is merely in love with a woman, that's all. You are his mother, and you should
understand Alex's state better than us. Look at the two of them; they have become pale
and emaciated."
She continued, "You may not know how much pain Alex endured when he thought he and
Jewel were siblings. He almost drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day. Later, we helped
them confirm through a DNA test that they are indeed not siblings. He was happy but then
started worrying about your feelings. They have been torturing each other like this. They
haven't seen each other for over two months. If there was another way, it certainly
wouldn't come to this."
Then, she added, "Alex has made efforts, and he has considered your feelings. From eight
years ago until now, he has only ever liked one person, Jewel. It's truly cruel to make him
choose between you and Jewel. Can you bear to drive away such an outstanding son, Mrs.
Road? If you do, there will be no shortage of people willing to take him."
