Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 121 121: A blunder

Stefan drove to the college after dropping off Ella, where he found Eveline and Gabriel waiting for him.

Taking in their surroundings, the trio made their way to the canteen and got into their usual seats.

"You think Alex knows about his father's affair with Lilith or he simply threatened her to save himself?" Eveline questioned Stefan with skepticism.

Because he was the one who validated their suspicions and uncovered some surprising truths, it made sense why Alex despised his father so much.

Yes, she believed him when he told her his father would be assaulting him, but the hostility in his eyes indicated that his relationship with his father was awful.

"I do not know. The boy has this mystic aura around him; no one knows what's going on in his mind." Stefan said.

He almost drew out every detail about himself and his incredibly loving family, but when he saw those photographs, all of his thoughts were destroyed.

"You recall Uncle Richard talking about his acquaintance with A&D Enterprise. Any modifications on the confirmation?" Stefan inquired, cutting off Gabriel from his musings.

Eveline furrowed her brow at Gabriel's lack of interest in the discussion, but when Stefan's words reached his cords, he looked at him for a brief second and shook his head.

"He did consider it," he stated.

Eveline pondered what Stefan had just stated, ignoring her concerns about Gabriel's attention.

"A&D Enterprise, where did I hear this name?" She mumbled, and then it hit her.

"Isn't the corporation owned by Alex's aunt. But why are they looking for investors beyond their territory?" she inquired.

"Because she cut ties with her brother years ago and now with her husband she trying to build their company," Gabriel explained, and she nodded in understanding.

She once again lapsed into thinking and abruptly asked, " Don't they have a son?"

Gabriel arched his brow with amusement, once again perked by her words.

"Yes, she does, but he studies abroad and rarely comes here," Stefan replied.

"Why are you suddenly curious about her son?" Gabriel inquired swiftly, capturing both Eveline and Stefan's attention.

Eveline had yet to tell them about the things Alex made up to trick her into falling for his deception, but now that the issue of his aunt had come up, she couldn't connect it to the conversation in which he mentioned his relatives bullying him.

'Could the cousin be the son of his aunt?'

"Hmm, actually Alex made up a story about being bullied from an early age. He claimed that not only was he mistreated outside, but also by his cousin and family members."
