Chapter 982 The Fake Scar

• Meanwhile, Alex was busy working at his office these days. As a matter of fact, he wasn't that busy as to have no time for drinks; he was just down in the dumps and reluctant to go home. If he went back to his home, he would keep thinking about Jewel, whereas if he went back to Stefanie's place, he would have to listen to her nagging, which he didn't want to. As a result, he had been eating and sleeping in his office all this time, wearing himself out every single day so that he could fall asleep with no time to think about all this sh*t. That being said, he did wrap up a few major collaborative projects in the process.
• Nevertheless, he went home today, thinking that Stefanie would have calmed down by now. He had to talk to her, for he couldn't give up on Jewel.
• Stefanie probably didn't expect him to come back today either. Frantically, she stuck on her wrist the fake scar she had bought earlier, which looked so real as if it were really from her slitting her wrist. In reality, she did listen to Olivia's suggestion, but she simply didn't have the courage to admit all this to her son, especially when she saw how he kept himself busy working day and night at his office every single day. In her heart, she knew she was the cause of all this.
