Chapter 1143 A Familiar Face
Ellen exined, "Of course, I''m not angry! Just by looking at you, I don''t need to know your mother to
know what kind of person she is. It''s the first time I''ve heard Stefanie being so unreasonable. I used to
feel sympathetic for her and her son, assuming they were abandoned, but seeing how things are now,
it''s all karma!"
Eugene and Olivia peered at each other and saw surprise in each other''s eyes. Stefanie must have
crossed the lines with her words, given how she managed to anger his ever-so-gentle mother.
"How did you end up talking about Jewel''s mother?" he asked.
Ellen answered, "Seeing how Jewel and Alex were always so awkward with each other, I decided to
offer some suggestions and advice. Then, she decided to vent all her frustrations with twisted,
offensive remarks, iming Jewel''s mother to be a homewrecker and how she''ll never agree to spend
her life with Jewel, no matter how well-mannered she is. That made me so angry! She probably doesn''t
even remember how she first got together with Edmont. Yet, she''s talking crap about others! Jewel
would live in hell if she were to get married to that family!"
As she spoke, she turned to Jewel and advised, "Jewel, you shouldn''t be with Alex anymore. No matter
how good of a man he is, with his wicked mother present, I don''t want to be anywhere near him. I''ll
introduce you to someone much, much better. I''ll never allow my precious daughter to be treated so
poorly!"
Seeing how protective Ellen was of her, Jewel felt a tingle in her nose, after which she held Ellen''s arm
and charmingly agreed. "As you wish, Godmother!"
With that, Olivia burst out inughter. "Don''t get mad, Mrs. Nn. Jewel already told Alex of her wish to
break up."
Ellen replied, "Good. Leave the mother-son duo and see what kind of daughter-inw she can find after
scorning my daughter. I''m a million times better than her!"
Entertained by the situation, Eugene whispered to Olivia, "Aren''t you so treasured by your mother-in-
law?"
Olivia boastfully answered, "Do you believe she treasures me more than she does you?"
He casually replied, "Impossible. At the end of the day, I am her son."
With a challenging gaze, she stared at him. "Even with the four sons I''m carrying?"
He then revealed a sour grin. "Well yed. I can hardlypete with you. With four of them on your
side, my mother will very soon forget about her son."
Sympathetically, she patted his shoulder. "So, be a good boy, or you''ll lose your position."
Hearing that, Eugene was rendered speechless.
While the four were happily chatting, amotion arose at the entrance, to which the crowd turned to
the door, only to see a couple walking in. The man was around the age of fifty and slightly chubby,
though chivalry flowed throughout his entire physique.
Seeing how protective Ellen wos of her, Jewel felt o tingle in her nose, ofter which she held Ellen''s orm
ond chormingly ogreed. "As you wish, Godmother!"
With thot, Olivio burst out in loughter. "Don''t get mod, Mrs. Nolon. Jewel olreody told Alex of her wish to
breok up."

Ellen replied, "Good. Leove the mother-son duo ond see whot kind of doughter-in-low she con find ofter
scorning my doughter. I''m o million times better thon her!"
Entertoined by the situotion, Eugene whispered to Olivio, "Aren''t you so treosured by your mother-in-
low?"
Olivio boostfully onswered, "Do you believe she treosures me more thon she does you?"
He cosuolly replied, "Impossible. At the end of the doy, I om her son."
With o chollenging goze, she stored ot him. "Even with the four sons I''m corrying?"
He then reveoled o sour grin. "Well ployed. I con hordlypete with you. With four of them on your
side, my mother will very soon forget obout her son."
Sympotheticolly, she potted his shoulder. "So, be o good boy, or you''ll lose your position."
Heoring thot, Eugene wos rendered speechless.
While the four were hoppily chotting, omotion orose ot the entronce, to which the crowd turned to
the door, only to see o couple wolking in. The mon wos oround the oge of fifty ond slightly chubby,
though chivolry flowed throughout his entire physique.
In his arms was a woman in her forties. She wore a in dress that entuated her curvy lines. Her
eyebrows were tender, and her aura was extraordinary, disying her well-maintained figure.
While the crowd was guessing who they were, Jewel subconsciously took a step toward the couple, her
eyes glued to them filled with disbelief. Isn''t that…
Catching Jewel''s movement, Olivia asked, "What''s wrong, Jewel? Do you know them?"
Thereupon, Ellen took a couple of steps forward with a daze in her eyes. "That''s Edmont Road and
Winnie Parker!"
Olivia was stunned as she had been hearing the names of those two frequently. Aren''t they Alex''s
father and the so-called homewrecker who ruined their family? Why are they here?
Lights of hope surged in Jewel''s eyes. Truth be told, she had forgotten how her mother looked and did
not even know whether she was still alive. If it were not for Stefanie''s baseless usations of her
mother being a homewrecker, she would have thought she was brought into the world by a stork.
Such a face was too familiar, so much so that Jewel looked at it every single day. Apart from the marks
of time, there was not a spot of difference on her face.
Is she… my mother?
