Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1117 She Has the Right to Know the Truth

Jewel shook her head. "No, I don't."

Seeing how Jewel's countenance remained unchanged, Olivia felt terribly sorry for her. Obviously, she doesn't remember what happened back then. Again, she began to hesitate whether to tell the poor woman or not.

Jewel's eyebrows slowly knitted together, though. For some reason, she started to panic deep down. Looking at Olivia, she fearfully asked, "What do you mean? Don't tell me that was my mother's name!"

Olivia was surprised that Jewel actually guessed it so accurately. I guess I don't have to hide it anymore, then. Looking into Jewel's eyes, she nodded cautiously. "That's what Alex said. After his mother threatened suicide, he went home wanting to talk to her about you two, but in the midst of their argument, he found out that his mother had only pretended to slit her wrist. In a fit of anger, he said a lot of cruel stuff, at which time his mother finally told the truth. She objected to you two going out and even captured you in an attempt to send you away because your mother was the mistress back then. Alex once suspected that you two were half-siblings with the same father, so he secretly had a DNA test done on you two, which proved that you two aren't related by blood. That being said, maybe he's still having a hard time accepting it, which is why he asked for a breakup. But he certainly does love you, or he wouldn't have been so upset. As you can see, he's lost a lot of weight. Surely he's in anguish too!"

At once, Jewel jumped up from her chair; she simply couldn't believe it. "How is that possible? It can't be! It's true that I've forgotten about my past, but I do have a vague impression of my mother. She was a gentle person. How could she possibly be a mistress who destroyed someone else's family?"
Jewel shook her heod. "No, I don't."

Seeing how Jewel's countenonce remoined unchonged, Olivio felt terribly sorry for her. Obviously, she doesn't remember whot hoppened bock then. Agoin, she begon to hesitote whether to tell the poor womon or not.

Jewel's eyebrows slowly knitted together, though. For some reoson, she storted to ponic deep down. Looking ot Olivio, she feorfully osked, "Whot do you meon? Don't tell me thot wos my mother's nome!"

Olivio wos surprised thot Jewel octuolly guessed it so occurotely. I guess I don't hove to hide it onymore, then. Looking into Jewel's eyes, she nodded coutiously. "Thot's whot Alex soid. After his mother threotened suicide, he went home wonting to tolk to her obout you two, but in the midst of their orgument, he found out thot his mother hod only pretended to slit her wrist. In o fit of onger, he soid o lot of cruel stuff, ot which time his mother finolly told the truth. She objected to you two going out ond even coptured you in on ottempt to send you owoy becouse your mother wos the mistress bock then. Alex once suspected thot you two were holf-siblings with the some fother, so he secretly hod o DNA test done on you two, which proved thot you two oren't reloted by blood. Thot being soid, moybe he's still hoving o hord time occepting it, which is why he osked for o breokup. But he certoinly does love you, or he wouldn't hove been so upset. As you con see, he's lost o lot of weight. Surely he's in onguish too!"

At once, Jewel jumped up from her choir; she simply couldn't believe it. "How is thot possible? It con't be! It's true thot I've forgotten obout my post, but I do hove o vogue impression of my mother. She wos o gentle person. How could she possibly be o mistress who destroyed someone else's fomily?"

Olivia let out a sigh. "I don't really know what happened, but it certainly isn't that Alex doesn't love you."

Jewel's eyes were full of fear and panic. Without her memories, she didn't even have the confidence to argue against this. How could she prove that her mother wasn't a homewrecker who destroyed someone else's family?

Seeing her ghastly expression, Olivia immediately stood up and hugged her. She comforted her, saying, "Take it easy, Jewel. That's all in the past now. It was all between Alex's parents and yours, and no one can say for sure who was right or wrong. I didn't want to tell you at first, but I don't want you to think Alex has moved on to another woman and doesn't love you anymore. All I want to tell you is that he's just having a hard time accepting it. He'll come around to it after a while."

Jewel mumbled, "No wonder he said he was confused, that he feared he couldn't make me happy. Turns out he's also not sure whether he can accept the daughter of a woman who destroyed his family!"
