I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 535 Things will only get worse

As Vanessa thought, Caleb probably knew that she had colluded with someone, but those scandals were unknown for the time being. Sitting on the sofa for a long, long time, Vanessa's knuckles were turning white as she gripped the phone, before dialing a number out. "This matter cannot continue to fester, take care of it." Without waiting for the person on the other side of the phone to speak, Vanessa spoke first. And when Vanessa heard no response from the man on the other side of the phone, she became more and more irritated at the moment.

She continued, "We were still too soft-hearted back then."

At that time, Alina should not have come out of the madhouse alive.

And at that time, she was actually too trusting of Macy Moon, thinking that someone whose memory had been sealed would never think of it again.

In fact, the time Alina spent with Chester later on, she really believed that too and Alina would never think about it again.

But now she would not only remember her past with Chester, but even remember things that she shouldn't.

"But right now, probably no one can handle this seamlessly, right?"

Before this story didn't get reported, no, to be precise, before Alina had remembered everything, that was the best time to strike. This matter has now been pointed at her, "If Alina gets hurt, they will all think of you."

If it were just Andre and others in Shirling, it would be fine.

But if Chester and Caleb were involved, it would be tough.

As the words fell, Vanessa felt her heart stuffy.

She yelled at the other end of the phone, "So what do we do now? If this goes on, both Chester and Caleb will know about it."

Everything she had run for so many years would be ruined as a result.

"Things will only get worse now that there's been an accident on Alina."

When she heard 'worse', Vanessa only felt that her brain was about to explode.

She hung up the phone in anger.

Now, leaving Alina intact, she was unwilling and tortured. But if there was an accident on Alina.

Even if it wasn't her did it, then whether it was Caleb or Chester would blame her.

"Alina!" Spitting out this name so fiercely, she could not relieve her hatred.

The public opinion out there has gone in a worse direction.

Many people's eyes are now on the Collins family, especially on her.

Vanessa was burnt out.

And after being discharged from the hospital, Caleb, who had never come back to the Collins Castle and had not allowed her to visit Werland Villa, returned. Macie hurried in and was alarmed at the sight of the mess on the floor, "Madam."

"Get out, get out."

Right now, Vanessa's mind was in turmoil, and she didn't want to hear any sound, she just wanted to be alone now.

Macie was apprehensive and flustered, "Master Caleb is back."

During those years, Vanessa and Caleb's relationship was always tense.

She said that it was because Chester was hurt about Alina, but now it seems that she was actually afraid to face Alina all along, right?

Plus when Max was around, he kept her under pressure too. Therefore she had no way to continue doing anything to Alina.

The only thing she can do is not to see that face. So even Caleb, who had married Alina, was disliked by her.

As she would have wished, during those years, Alina rarely came back except to visit Max, and Caleb rarely came back to Collins Castle because of some hidden conflicts among them. Now, he was back at this juncture.

"Where is he?" Hearing that Caleb had returned, Vanessa's heart, apparently, was so slightly flustered.

Macie, "In the living room."

Hearing that, Vanessa immediately got up, "Have someone tidy up the place."

Having said that, she hurried upstairs.

Macie asked the maids to come and clean up.

When Caleb arrived, Vanessa was already completely different from earlier, she was now dignified and elegant.

And where it was originally smashed to pieces a moment ago has been fully restored.

Vanessa picked up the bowl of tea in front of her and took a sip, it was hot but she said carelessly, "Why are you back at this time?"

Caleb's gaze over her was indifferent and cold.

Vanessa, "What's wrong?"

Caleb, "Leave her alone."

His words caused Vanessa's heart to waver for a moment.

Obviously, she did not expect Caleb to be so straightforward.

His face went white, but only for a moment before he regained his composure and spoke again, his tone returning as before, "So, you believe what was reported?" Caleb's already not-so-good face was even colder at this moment.

The moment the four eyes met, Vanessa was frightened by the grimness under his eyes, but tried to make a serious look.

"It seems that you really believe it."

The sound of a lighter rang out as Caleb lit a cigarette and took a puff, filling the expansive space with the smell of smoke.

Vanessa watched him take several puffs in a row, her heart felt a tearing pain, "It's better not to smoke, your body hasn't recovered well yet."

Caleb gave her a cold look.

He took one puff straight to the butt, pushed it into the ashtray and got up to straighten his frayed lapels.

Turning around, he opened his mouth, "Leave her alone or..."

The heavy footsteps were far away, while Caleb's words were not spoken, but Vanessa clearly felt the warning in his tone.

Earlier, it was Chester.

Now, it's Caleb.

The sharp nails cut through her palm, and bright red blood came out, but Vanessa did not feel any pain at all.

It was as if poison had been quenched under her eyes, and she hated Alina with a passion.

"Alina!" Gritting her teeth, she murmured.

When Caleb came out of Collins Castle, Tomas saw him coming out, greeted him, "Sir."

"When did my father and younger brother leave?"

Tomas' expression stiffened for a moment before he answered, "The day after your operation."

Without waiting for Caleb to speak, Tomas continued, "After they came back, they have been staying at Reisen International."

"Didn't go back to the Collins Castle?"
