Chapter 1027 Confronting Alex
When Eugene arrived at the Royal Palace, Alex was alone in the room as he shrank into the corner. The room was dimly lit, so it took Eugene some time to find Alex.
He was still as lifeless as before.
Frustrated, Eugene kicked Alex and asked, “Have you just gotten drunk, or were you never sober?”
Alex stayed quiet and turned to his side, wrapping his clothes tighter around him, and continued sleeping as if nothing concerned him.
After kicking him disdainfully again, Eugene asked, “Can’t you pull yourself together?”
Without opening his eyes, Alex listlessly retorted, “If you suddenly found out that you and Olivia are siblings, would you be able to pull yourself together?”
Eugene was so furious that he angrily laughed. “Are you depressed because you and Jewel are siblings, or are you depressed because Jewel’s mom was the person who ruined your parents’ marriage?”
Alex shot Eugene a death stare. “Is there a difference?”
Then, Eugene nudged him further into the corner to make space for himself. “Of course, there is!”
Alex replied, “Both are depressing.”
Eugene narrowed his eyes. “You know about this?”
Alex replied, “Yes. It’s because I caught her slitting her wrists and faking suicide. That’s what forced her to tell me Jewel is Winnie’s daughter.”
After a moment’s silence, Eugene drew a deep breath. “Why didn’t you f*cking tell her earlier? Why did you have to wait until you developed feelings for each other before telling the truth?”
Alex explained, “This incident doesn’t only bring nightmares to my mom but also me. She wouldn’t have mentioned this if she had other ways to separate Jewel and me.”
Eugene argued, “Are you sure she was telling the truth? Since she could feign slitting her wrist, I think she lied that you and Jewel are siblings to separate you guys even more. That’s what I suspect and the most I can help you with. A DNA test stands between you and the answer, so you decide whether you want to do it. No matter what the results or decision, you have to tell Jewel. Don’t keep her hanging because she has done nothing wrong, and perhaps she wouldn’t have left home and ended up in this situation if you hadn’t shown up in her life.”
Alex stared silently at the spoon for a long while.
