Chapter 951


    Chapter 951 Holding Back


    Despite feeling somewhat upset, Ellen only let out a dismissiveugh without saying anything. She


    sure is terrible at choosing the right words to say.


    Still, she held back her anger and asked, "What would you like to drink?"


    Stefanie sat on the couch and responded, "Tea is fine. I just came to have a chat with you."


    Ellen proceeded to pour Stefanie a cup of tea and washed some fruit for her before sitting across from


    her. "What have you been up totely? I haven''t seen much of you."


    Stefanie sighed helplessly at that. "What else can I do? I''m busy worrying about Alex. He has been


    making me really angry recently."


    "Oh? What happened?"


    Stefanie sat up straight and began toin. "He fell for a woman eight years ago, and I


    disapproved of her at that time. I got in their way as much as I could and eventually caused them to fall


    out. I thought everything came to an end then. Who would have thought that the same woman would


    come back eight yearster? And just like that, Alex went crazy, and he has gotten involved with her


    again now. I''m so mad!"


    Ellen let out another unnatural smile and persuaded, "Isn''t Alex too grown for you to care about that? It


    is not like he is a child. You should let the youngsters do what they want."


    Feeling both dissatisfied and unwilling to concede, Stefanie stubbornly held her head high.


    "No way! Anyone else is fine, just not her. Alex is also too willful for his own good. I have given him


    what he deserved in the past few years, and all the women I introduced to him are better than this


    woman. But that child promised me one thing, and then he messed it up behind my back. It''s like he


    has been bewitched into liking this one woman!"


    Ellen peered at her with a resigned gaze. "Why do you think Alex shouldn''t fall for this woman? Is it


    because of her looks? Or her character?"


    "Everything about her is problematic." Stefanie pursed her lips. "Eight years ago, she slept with another


    man when she and Alex were still in a rtionship. I sent her away with some money. She must have


    gotten used to my spoiling her, and that is why she hase to ask for money again. Ugh!"


    Ellen seemed to have suddenly understood as she hummed. "But still, you have to consider what your


    child wants. As parents, we will have to makepromises if our child has found someone they like.


    Besides, it has been eight years since those things happened. What''s done is done. Since Alex likes


    her, there must be some redeeming qualities about her."


    Stefanie snorted again. "I don''t see anything redeeming about her. She doesn''t have an impressive


    family background, connections, or eloquence, and she is not particrly pretty. She doesn''t even


    know how to show respect to her elders. I went through a lot of trouble meeting her yesterday, but


    guess what she said? She said she won''t leave Alex unless he personally tells her to go. Can you


    imagine how infuriating it was to hear that? She clearly wants money!"


    Ellen furrowed her eyebrows. She had been wondering all along, Isn''t Jewel the one Alex is interested


    in? Whom is this woman talking about?


    But the more she listened to Stefanie speak, the more she had a feeling that Stefanie was talking about


    Jewel.


    However, Ellen held her temper in as she asked, "What''s the name of the girl Alex likes?"All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Reluctantly, Stefanie uttered, "Jewel Fenton! Her old name was Jean Louis. Who would have thought


    she woulde back with her name changed? And she even became inarticte."


    Ellen''s face immediately turned grim. "She is not as despicable as you make her out to be, is she? Her


    voice was damaged because someone set her up. They locked her in a warehouse and set fire to it,


    and her voice was ruined by the smoke. Besides, isn''t Alex the one pursuing her? Jewel has been


    rejecting him all along. How can you me everything on her?"


    Her reply shocked Stefanie, who then asked, "You know her?"


    "She is my goddaughter!" Ellen warned.


    Stefanie immediately blurted out, "You see this?! I''m sure she was the one who wanted to be your


    goddaughter. Be careful, though. Women like her don''t have good intentions. She might end up


    deceiving you and taking away all your money."


    Ellen grew increasingly displeased with what she heard. "Enough, Stefanie. Don''t pass judgment on


    someone you don''t know well. Jewel is the one who has been buying me things ever since she became


    my goddaughter. In what way has she deceived me? And don''t speak ill of her anymore. She is my


    goddaughter."


    However, Stefanie continued to advise her friend, sounding as though she was saying this for Ellen''s


    own good. "Ellen, you probably don''t know how sly people have gotten since you were away for many


    years. She won''t mind showing some small favors to win your heart when she wants more. You will see


    what happens once you get closer to her and start letting your guard down!"
