Chapter 1238 Confrontation

"Son—"

As soon as the call went through, Stefanie's voice rang out. Alex, however, stared at his phone, silently looking at his mother who was seated on the couch.

Stefanie had a feeling that Alex wasn't in a good mood. She was about to ask why when she noticed the bandage wrapped around his neck. She was instantly startled as she asked, "Oh my, what happened to your neck, son? Did you get hurt?"

Alex felt a little frustrated at the same time. He was so occupied with confronting his mother that he forgot he was injured. However, he only lost his composure for an instant as he quickly calmed down and said indifferently, "It's nothing."

Stefanie, however, asked in concern, "How did you get hurt? Is it serious? Weren't you looking for Jewel? Why would you get hurt?"

Her words of concern caused Alex to feel like crying for one second.

He knew that his mother loved and cared for him, but why did she treat the girl he loved like that?

He looked at her, his eyes turning red. "I bumped into Damian."

When Stefanie heard that, she looked stunned. Then, she feigned ignorance as she asked, "Damian? I-Is that the man who took Jewel away?"

Alex watched as his mother pretended to be clueless, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. If he hadn't run into Damian, the incident his mother plotted back then might have stayed a mystery forever.

"Aren't you the one who knows the answer the best?"

When Stefanie heard that, she suddenly lost confidence. What did he mean by that?

Could it be that her son already knew about what happened?

No wonder he looked so upset.

How did he find Damian? Also, why was Damian so foolish that he would expose everything?

She smiled sheepishly, feeling lucky as she said, "I just heard it from you."

Alex sneered. "Is that so? Why do I have a feeling that you knew each other a long time ago?"

Stefanie was so scared that she gulped instinctively. "What do you mean?"

Alex looked at her and said coolly, "You're hiding it even at times like this. Are you thinking of hiding it from me forever?"
