I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 537 All panicked

Yet now.

"Abby, this matter maybe...", "Maybe what?" Chester hadn't finished his words when he was interrupted by Alina.

Under her eyes, there was a hidden anger.

As she said, the last thing she wanted to do was to hurt Chester, even if things had come to this point, she did not want to hurt Chester.

She didn't want to, but what about people other than him? Looking at him now forcibly trying to defend Vanessa, her heart was stabbed hard. "She admitted it herself."

If Vanessa has not admitted to everything, then it is perhaps possible that everything could be overturned.

But not any more.

Chester's pupils tightened as he looked at her, "What did you say?"

Tears slid fiercely down Alina's eyes, "Should you ask her yourself?"

"Abby."

Chester took two steps forward.

Yet Alina was subconsciously backing away.

For the first time, it was so difficult and frightening for him, and looking at Alina, whose face was covered in tears, he did not even have the courage to go forward.

"Go." Alina could see Chester's retreat.

She knew that this public confrontation with Vanessa would definitely make Chester leave her, but even so, she did not regret it.

And she didn't dare regret it.

Chester, "Abby!"

"All those years, I always thought she disliked Emma, so she never agreed to her being with Caleb, what a big drama."

Was it a scene with Emma, or was Vanessa too deep, even allowing Emma to be used?

Emma had not said anything about Vanessa even to the time of her 'death'.

This is not only a one-woman show for Vanessa, but enough to illustrate the depth of this woman.

Dense sweat had broken out on Chester's spine.

"Abby." He feebly called her name, wanting to say something, yet nothing could be said at this moment. And Alina didn't want to hear anything at this point in time.

Turning around, she said "Go away."

"There may be a hidden agenda in this matter." Chester said in a tight tone as he looked at her back. Alina, "..."

Even at this point in time, Chester was not willing to believe that this matter was related to Vanessa.

Even if this was something he had noticed before, something he had first become suspicious of, even now the evidence he now had in his hands was in fact confirming the suspicions in his mind bit by bit. But because it didn't come down to the wire, Chester preferred to believe in unexpected outcomes, before things came out completely.

Not until the last minute, he preferred there was something else hidden.

"Chester!" Alina's tone heaved, stopping Chester from continuing.

And it was Chester's words that, in Alina's opinion, confirmed his defense towards Vanessa.

She was unwilling to hurt him, and every word he defended against Vanessa in front of her was a sword-like injury to her.

"For now, don't go on, okay?" Chester finally couldn't resist stepping forward and embracing Alina into his arms.

They all knew very well that if this was the way things were now found out, they will have no way out.

There is no way out for Alina, and there must be no way out for Chester either.

Now when she heard Chester say the words 'don't go on', Alina closed her eyes.

She gripped his strong wrist, "Let go."

The sadness in her tone was all but withdrawn.

There was endlessly coldness.

"Abby!"

"Let go!"

"Do as you're told, it can't go on." Chester said.

Although up to now Alina hadn't told him exactly what all she knew, Chester now hoped it would not to continue, and he was well aware, as Alina said, that 'silence her'.

And this incident, probably, would have completely overwhelmed the whole Collins family.

Alina was cold all over.

"Can't I go on?" At that time, did you ever think about how important her parents and grandmother were to her?

Did anyone tell Vanessa at that time that she couldn't go on?

Chester, "I will get all clear, give me some time, okay?"

As powerful as an emperor, at this moment, in front of Alina, he is so humble.

He sensed that things were far from what he had found out, if indeed it was as Vanessa had admitted, then if she was involved in the deaths of both the Alina's parents and grandmother, then it was far from what he had found out.

The force with which Alina squeezed his wrist was heavier at this moment.

"Abby."

Sensing Alina's assertiveness, Caleb's tone heaved.

Alina, "There's no time for that."

Her tone was as calm as it had ever been. Yet beneath this calmness, there was a monstrous despair concealed. Chester listened clearly and with deep pain.

"The child is yours, how do you think she did it? You're not going to tell me again that there's a hidden agenda, are you?"

Apparently, after Declan knew about the child, Alina blamed all on Vanessa. How could she be so vicious? That was her son.

Chester stiffened.

His brain instantly went blank.

He had been wondering what was going on when he found out the child was his, and he hadn't been back to Ingford.

And during those three years, Alina never went to Eglinton.

"Abby."

"You know what? I feel like a puppet for the Collins family when I know this."

"I'm being manipulated by her." Like a fool, she was constantly manipulated by Vanessa.

It was as if there were strings on her body, like the puppet with the strings, being constantly pulled by her.

So, now he's going to be given time to figure it out? What else does he have to figure out? Here at Alina, everything is clear. Now, there is nothing left to wait for.

Chester felt the coldness of Alina and tried hard to warm her up, yet it was to no avail.

For her heart is cold. How could this warm her?

He let go of her.

She wanted to say something, however Chester found that no matter what he said now, it was useless.
