Chapter 825
''Sure!'' Jewel signed with her hands.
After Eugene left, Olivia wrote a prescription and asked Sophia to procure the medication. At the same
time, Olivia stared at Jewel. "Out with it. What happened?"
Jewel didn''t imagine that Olivia could figure out that she had lied, and she took a while to pacify her
emotions before whisking out her phone and typing, ''Alex''s mom came to meet me today and told me
to have some self-awareness. She said I couldn''t be of any help in thepany and forbade us from
dating, so I should stay away from her son. Not only that, she even didn''t allow me to talk and called
me shameless for clinging on to her son. God, I was furious! She''s bullying me because I can''t talk!''
Olivia''s face turned solemn. "Why did she say those things about you?"
Jewel shook her head in response. ''I don''t know. She called me out of the blue and even told me to
come up with an excuse to leave Alex.''
Olivia could feel her fury rising after listening to Jewel''s ount. She can''t even imagine herself in
Jewel''s shoes, especially when Jewel couldn''t speak up for herself at that time. "Didn''t you argue with
her? Tell her to ask her son who''s the one doing all the pestering!"
''I called her hateful and said that Alex will be a bachelor sooner orter because of having a mother
like her. Then, she wanted to p me,'' Jewel typed.
Olivia chuckled and retorted, "That''s the way! You can''t just sit there and listen without defending
yourself. So, what if she''s an elder? An elder should act like one and not throw their weight around just
because of their seniority."
''When I first found out that she brought up Alex as a single mother, I kinda admired her. Now I know
that it''s utterly twisted for her to revolve around her son like he''s her entire world. She''ll regard all
women who get close to her son as her enemies,'' Jewel added.
"That''s an urate conclusion," Olivia agreed with a firm nod.
''Fortunately, you have a kind mother-inw,'' Jewel wrote.
"Yes, and your godmother is kind too," Olivia said, and they giggled. "What did you do, then? Did you
resign?"
''I''m not that foolish to stick around after what just happened earlier. What should I do if she takes me as
a woman coveting her son again? I don''t want someone tosh out at me while pointing at my nose
once more!''
Olivia couldn''t help but note with concern, "But Alex may not let you go."
''Why wouldn''t he let me go? His injuries have healed and I''ve cared for him long enough. I don''t owe
him anything anymore, and I even gave up the sry that I was owed. Whatever it is, I''m not going
back there. Aren''t you going to start filming in a few days? I''lle with you,'' Jewel typed.
"That''s great!" Olivia eximed, utterly delighted by her suggestion. "Eugene doesn''t have to get me a
bodyguard, then. With both of usbined, we''ll be invincible!"
''Why do you need a bodyguard?'' Jewel asked in bewilderment.
"Guess who came to my studio today?" Olivia asked. "Christoff."
Jewel was so shocked that she didn''t type a word and voiced her concerns, "Why did hee here?"
"It''s precisely because we don''t know his motive that Eugene decided to hire a bodyguard for me," she
replied.
''Their home base is in Southeast Asia. So, what''s he doing here in Summer City? Is he here for
revenge because we caught his assassin thest time?'' Jewel asked.

"That is my suspicion as well," Olivia answered seriously.
''Then, you better be care—'' Before she could finish typing, her phone started to ring, and when she
saw the familiar name, she decisively hit the red button.
"Was that Alex?" Olivia asked.
Jewel nodded. "What should I say?"
"Write him a message. If you don''t want to return to hispany, tell him that I invited you to join my
filming crew," Olivia suggested.
Jewel nodded as she immediately started writing, ''My throat feels unwell, so I came to look for Olivia.''
