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?"
Stefanie panicked, saying, "Did you learn of something, son? That incident is in the past
now. If she doesn't do anything outrageous, I am not opposed to the idea of you dating
her. Do you know how hard it is for me to say that?"
He scoffed, a sad tone in his voice as he said, "How shameless can you be to say things
like that? Back then, when you gave Damian 70 thousand to hire some hooligans and told
him to play along with you, were you the least bit hesitant or regretful?"
Those words rang out like thunder in Stefanie's ears. Even the tiniest sliver of hope left in
her heart was gone.
Just as expected, he knew everything.
Stefanie knew that there was no point in hiding it anymore. She took in a breath and said,

to do it because I was out of options. Don't blame me for this, son."
Alex looked at her, doing his best to suppress his anger. He held his breath for a long
while, trying to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes.
"Then, why didn't you just tell me that she's Winnie's daughter? I might have a better
solution then! Do you know how important purity is to a girl? How can you harm her in
such a vile way? You not only got some hooligans to humiliate her, but you even set things
up on purpose so that I would see her going out of the hotel with Damian. And just like you
planned, I got mad at her and broke her heart. You turned me into your accomplice. How
am I supposed to face her again?"
Stefanie's eyes were filled with tears as well. "My husband fell for Winnie, and my son fell
for Winnie's daughter. I couldn't make my husband stay, and now my son is leaving me
too. Are you and your father so intent on proving to me that I'm a loser? Am I fated to lose
to a woman named Winnie all my life? How can you expect me to tell you about such a
shameful past?"
