Chapter 780


    Ellen, who thought that the two got hurt because of her, was grateful and guilty at the same time. She


    had thought of thanking them, but she felt that mere words held no real meaning, so she came here to


    apany them whenever she was free.


    Worried about their injuries, Olivia would also pop in from time to time.


    As such, just as Eugene had predicted, they were all gathered in Alex''s room.


    Seeing Eugene enter, Alex asked, "How''s the investigation?"


    "We''ll know when Theodore is here."


    Alexmented, "With how hidden the vi is, no one should be that clear about itsyout. Who


    knows, maybe there''s a snitch here?"


    Eugene refuted him adamantly, "That''s impossible!"


    Olivia followed up emotionlessly, "Then, it might be people that have visited the vi before. Besides


    us, the rest are all suspects!"


    So, who else had been here besides them?


    The list included Nicole, Penny, and Hayden. Of course, Hayden was the one with the least suspicion


    among them while Nicole and Penny were likely suspects.


    If Lara was involved in this, then chances were that it was Penny''s doing.


    In reality, everyone knew about the culprit. Since it was tied to Penny, nobody wanted to say it out loud


    in front of Eugene, who sighed before walking to Olivia and hugging her.


    "I know. When Theodore arrives, the truth wille to light. Don''t worry, I''ve sent my people to watch


    them over in secret. No matter who the snitch is, I will not show them any mercy."


    Olivia stated, "We were too close to a disaster this time. Had Jewel and Alex note, the


    consequences would have been irreversible."


    Then, she looked at Ellen. "Mrs. Baker, I think you should move back to Summer City with us. It really


    isn''t too safe for you to stay here."

    Ellen sighed helplessly. "It was also partially my fault too. I should have been more vignt. I shouldn''t


    have opened the door that day when they said they wanted to send the cat."


    Eugeneforted her, "When there''s a will, there''s a way. They would''vee in either way. You don''t


    have to me yourself."


    Yet, Ellen was breaking down by now. "If it weren''t for me, Alex and Jewel wouldn''t have gotten hurt."


    Alex quickly consoled her, "Please don''t think that way. I''m d that you''re fine too. Jewel and I have


    only tiny scratches. Think about it, what would we do if something happened to you? Put Eugene and


    Olivia aside, Jewel would be devastated too. She just acknowledged you as her godmother and came


    here to give you something. We were lucky to havee in time."


    Jewel instantly came over and grabbed her hands. "I''m not in pain, nor am I suffering."


    Closing her eyes, Ellen felt tearsing out of her eyes.


    Olivia went over and hugged her. "Okay now, it''s all in the past. I was supposed toe here with


    Jewel, but something came up, so I couldn''t make it."


    Her words made Ellen shake her head profusely. "Thank God you didn''te here. Otherwise, you


    would have been wounded too. Those people were absolutely ruthless!"


    Eugeneforted her, "Don''t feel too bad. We''ll take revenge for you!"


    Smiling, Jewel fetched her bag and took the drawing out. "Here, Mom!"


    Ellen, who was a bit stunned, retrieved it.


    "What''s this?"


    Olivia exined, "Thest time we went back, Jewel prepared a present for you. Quick, open it up and


    have a look, Mrs. Baker!"


    Thinking that it might be calligraphy, Ellen opened it up only to be surprised upon seeing that it was her


    portrait.


    The woman in the drawing was beautiful and elegant, resembling herself in her youth very much.


    As her lips upturned involuntarily, she looked at Jewel in surprise. "Did you draw this, Jewel?"
