Chapter 1210 Blaming It on His Mother

Alex thought it was already outrageous enough that his mother had forced Jewel out of the country, but he never expected that even Jewel's appearance at the hotel with Damian was arranged by her.

No wonder she was so impatient that day, constantly checking her phone. He had always thought that his mother disliked Jean, and because Jean was late, he had been defending Jean by speaking kindly and trying to appease his mother.

How ridiculous and laughable he had been.

That was a carefully planned act premeditated by his mother, so how could she be angry because Jewel was late?

She was waiting for her plan to succeed and hoped that he would be heartbroken.

She was really ruthless. She wanted him to "witness" the betrayal between Jean and Damian because she was unable to break them apart.

Jean was so innocent!

Damian stared at Alex, who looked unstable, and asked with doubt, "What? Don't tell me you didn't know about this."

Alex's eyes turned red. It felt like a vengeful ghost from hell had appeared, looking bloody and terrifying. He took a step closer to Damian and demanded, "Speak! Keep talking. What else is there?"

By now, Damian was certain of one thing—Alex really didn't know about this.

Could he then pin all the things he had done on his mother?

When the time came, one was Alex's biological mother and the other was the woman he loved. Oh dear, how devastated would he be caught in the middle? There might still be a glimmer of hope for Damian!

Damian's eyes rolled cunningly as he said, "There's more. Your mother gave me 150 thousand to take Jewel away from Summer City. Helena Parker, who was worried about her daughter, followed us overseas. Later, Jewel married me, and that was also your mother's arrangement, just to break your heart."

Alex narrowed his eyes. "Keep going!"

Damian looked at him and asked, "What else do you want me to say?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Alex asked again, "Why did she change her name to Jewel Fenton?"

Damian's gaze flickered for a moment, and he replied, "Of course, it was to prevent you from finding us. That's why we changed her name."

Deep down, Alex was skeptical. Could it be that simple?

"What about Jean's mother?"

He didn't mention that he had already found out that Helena was dead. He wanted to see if Damian would be honest or not.

Indeed, Damian wasn't honest. He spoke up. "I don't know. One day, when I came home, the two of them had disappeared. I didn't bother looking for them. After all, Jewel didn't like me from the start. She was always thinking about you!"

Alex stared at him, and a surge of murderous intent erupted from his body. Damian was lying!

He grabbed Damian by the collar and dragged him up from the ground. "Listen up, Damian. You better tell me the truth. I don't have the time to listen to your nonsense."

Damian confidently said, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can call your mother!"

Alex sneered. "I will definitely ask her. Now continue. If I find out that you've told a lie, I will kill you!"

His voice was chilling, as biting as the overseer of Hell.

Damian's heart instinctively tightened. He was unsure whether it was because of the chilling atmosphere in the room or the menacing look on Alex's face.

He faltered, "Do you think this is Summer City? Do you think you can do whatever you want here?"

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Alex's lips as he stared at him. "It would be effortless to kill a mongrel like you."

Damian trembled all over when facing Alex's gaze. He was frightened by the intensity of it.

He quickly averted his gaze. "What else do you want me to say? I've told you everything I know. These things are really your mother's doing. They had nothing to do with me."

Alex stared at him and his voice was filled with malice. "Think carefully before you speak. Don't push every bad thing onto my mother. I will call my mother to verify later. If you don't want to bleed to death, be honest with me! Tell me, how did Jewel end up in the Double Dragon Court, and where is Jewel's mother?"

Damian, upon hearing this, felt his heart tighten again. His eyes unconsciously darted around. "They… They really disappeared. I took the 150 thousand from your mother all for myself. They didn't want it at all. As for the rest, I really don't know."
