Chapter 983 Disappointed

Seeing how Alex spoke for Jewel and even put the blame on her, Stefanie could hardly suppress her anger. "I didn't do her any injustice! And besides, she didn't leave empty-handed. She left after getting 150,000 from me! Why did you sound like I had something to do with her life or death?"

Alex frowned. "I don't mean to blame you. I'm just saying that we're to blame for her becoming what she is today. Had she been in Summer City, she wouldn't have ended up the way she is right now."

Stefanie retorted meanly, "Ended up how? Isn't she still alive and well?"

The creases between Alex's eyebrows deepened. He wanted to tell the truth regardless, but he feared that it would frighten Stefanie. If she learned that Jewel was an assassin, she might object even more to him going out with her. After falling silent for a while, he replied angrily, "Had she not left Summer City back then, she wouldn't have been plotted against. She wouldn't have almost been burned to death in that fire, nor would she have been struggling to speak even now!"

Stefanie replied furiously, "What does she being almost burned to death have to do with me? She had only her own stupidity to blame for it! Even if she got burned to death, she deserved it, not to mention that she only lost her ability to speak!"
