Chapter 965 A Series of Unfortunate Events
For several consecutive days, there were no leads on Christoff's side. The only person who might know something,
Martin, was still lying in the hospital with his life hanging in the balance.
To Christoff's surprise, another incident occurred at Samuel Court and he suspected that Eugene was clandestinely
causing trouble behind.
However, he didn't say anything this time. It was indeed him who had caused trouble for Olivia as he insisted on
taking her to the motorcycle race.
If Olivia had shown even the slightest hesitation at that critical moment, the outcome would have been different,
and their lives could have been lost in the blink of an eye.
If it hadn't been for her proficient skills, they might have both perished.
Hence, he wanted to investigate thoroughly and give her an explanation.
However, he was forced to leave by Eugene now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was nothing he could do but take the three lightly injured riders back to Samuel Court first and arrange for
some people to watch over Martin.
After learning that Christoff had left Summer City, Eugene felt a slight relief, and his anger dissipated a little.
Feeling in a good mood, he couldn't help but call his girlfriend.
"How many more days?"
There was a hint of coquettishness, a touch of complaint, and a little bit of helplessness in his voice.
Olivia couldn't help but smile. "About ten more."
"Ten more days? Didn't you say it was going to be done soon two days ago?"
She chuckled. "There were some last-minute changes to the script, so it'll take about ten more days."
Eugene's mood plummeted. "Can you stop filming after this one is over?"
"Okay." Olivia gently comforted him as she said, "Why don't you invite Alex to hang out with us? It's been a while
since he last visited Jewel. Welp, I hope I'm not the cause of that."
He sighed and explained, "It's nothing to do with you. His mother was hospitalized."
After hearing Eugene's words, Olivia was startled and asked, "Hospitalized? What happened?"
"She attempted suicide by cutting her wrist," he replied.
At that, her heart skipped a beat. "What? Why would she do that? How is she doing now? It's not because of me, is
it?"
He reassured her, "She's out of danger now. It's not your fault. Alex went home to see his mother after what
happened. They had a heated argument, and in a fit of anger, his mother attempted suicide. The housekeeper
found her and took her to the hospital. Alex feels guilty and has been taking care of her in the hospital for the past
few days."
Olivia also felt guilty and said, "It's all because of me. I shouldn't have said those hurtful words. Where is she
hospitalized? I want to visit her."
"Don't blame yourself. She used such despicable means to trap you guys, and you think just a few harsh words are
enough to put her in her place? That's not even close to justice. If we have to find someone to be responsible, it's
me who told everything to Alex, and then he went to find his mother. You're all innocent victims. You can't be

"Anyway, it all started because of me. Jewel doesn't know yet, but I've noticed she's been distracted these past few
days. Although she hasn't said anything, she's probably wondering why Alex hasn't come to see her. How about
this? I'll tell Jewel first, and we'll go to the hospital to visit Alex's mother tomorrow at noon. Since she's Alex's
mother, it seems inappropriate for us not to show up. Do you want to come with us?"
"Okay. Just give me a call after you guys make the arrangements, and we'll go together," Eugene responded.
After ending the call with Eugene, Olivia fell into complete silence.
What a mess!
She didn't think her words that day were too harsh compared to what Alex's mother had done, but if his mother
tried to commit suicide because of it...
How could she describe the feeling that churned in her stomach?
Olivia felt guilty and regretful for not acting differently!
It felt like the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Jewel had just returned from getting her meal. When she saw Olivia lost in thought, she couldn't help but ask,
"What's wrong, Olivia?"
After a deep sigh, Olivia turned to Jewel and said, "Jewel, do you have any idea why Alex has been absent for such a
long time?"
