I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 540 They Didn't Come Back to the Collins Castle?

Want to be with Alina?

Previously, when he was critically ill, the one person he wanted to see the most was Alina, but because he was not sure if he would get better, he was unwilling to see her. Now that he has recovered, then he naturally wants to be with Alina.

The only thing he wanted was that she would be at peace in the afterlife, and he hoped she and Chester would be well, but so many ups and downs were in her fate.

Chester went straight back to the Collins Castle, while Vanessa was still thinking about how to deal with this matter.

She didn't expect it to be Caleb first and now Chester. Probably because of her weak heart, hence how tough she was before, she was timid as she met Chester. Chester, "You and that guy are really together?"

Vanessa's face went whiter at the moment.

"Chester."

The moment she opened her mouth, her lips couldn't help but tremble.

Chester looked at her sharply, there was no half temperature under his eyes at the moment, even stronger than when Caleb looked at her before.

Vanessa felt weak from such a look.

"So, you do believe that the person on that report is me, do you?" A feigned disappointment and seriousness.

She still tried to overthrow everything with such a mask as before.

But now what Vanessa did not know was that her mask had been completely shattered.

Chester picked up the cup of tea in front of him and took a sip, a very clear and fragrant tea, yet such a scent could not calm the gloom inside.

Chester, "Then tell me, why has father been living with Romeo abroad all these years?"

"They didn't come back to the Collins Castle when Caleb was in hospital this time? Why?" The gaze that looked at Vanessa carried a penetrating sharpness. The two questions, which were so blunt and sharp, caught Vanessa off guard.

She did not expect Chester to ask so.

Over the years Alby has rarely returned and it has always been the most helpless and embarrassing thing for her.

When Max was alive, Alby came back once or twice a year, whereas after Max's death, he was reluctant to come back even once.

Now being asked by her son in such blunt words, Vanessa was not only embarrassed, but more than that, she was timid.

Because, more than anyone else, she knew what Alby had never come back.

"You should ask him." Vanessa did not want to answer this question.

Chester, "..."

The gaze that looked at her was more intense at the moment.

Vanessa's heart was weak, as if it would collapse at any time as a result, but no matter what Chester's attitude was today, she was going to stick with it. "Chester, I know you're getting suspicious, but I don't want to explain."

The next moment the words fell, a stack of sheets smashed in front of Vanessa.

At a glance, she recognised it as an address book list, a list of her contacts for the past six months.

Vanessa, "What do you mean?"

She was already weak-minded.

The moment she looked at Chester now, anger shone even more under her eyes.

Chester took out the phone, "You rarely make friends, and you don't know a few noble wives."

"This number that's been contacted the most is not anyone from the Collins family, and it's not Ingford number, so who is it?"

"Chester!" Vanessa was angry when she faced such an oppressive questioning from Chester.

Standing up, she grabbed the sheet and tore it to shreds.

Chester, "It's okay, I have it on my phone."

"You!"

"Then I'll have to ask him."

Vanessa's face was bloodless.

Chester looked at her, his eyes were so cold and calm, and it made Vanessa's inner defenses crumble for a time.

"You investigate me?" The retort at the moment was feeble, yet she had no choice.

"Chester, I am your mother. You're checking me out behind my back and now you're questioning with forceful pressure?"

Chester ignored her retort questioning and dialed the number, Vanessa looked at the number flashing on his phone and instantly went crazy.

Out of control, she stepped forward and snatched the phone from Chester's hand before smashing it hard on the ground.

For the first time, in front of Chester, she was so out of control, once, she was such a dazzling and elegant mother.

No matter what happened, Vanessa had been collected, yet now, she was as out of control as if she were a madman. Looking fiercely at Chester, she wanted to say something.

However, when she met Chester's sharp eyes, the words of accusation were just blocked into her throats.

Chester just looked at her calmly.

And such calmness made Vanessa even more devastated.

The Collins family was now in complete disarray.

The road ahead between Alina and Chester has thus become uncertain, and there are many people who are having a hard time in Ingford. For example, Sophia and Libby.

Her and Kenny's wedding had been brought forward. It wasn't Stella who brought it forward for them, they were forced to do it.

"I don't want to marry that fool, I want to find my father." Libby went completely mad.

Sophia, once, so reigning figure, has now become at a loss as a result.

She said fiercely, "What's the use of looking for your father now? I told you to go abroad together before, but you didn't agree."

And now, under the pressure of the Marsh family, they have no chance to leave the country even if they want to.

Libby, "That bitch, it's all because of that bitch Stella, why didn't you just kill her back then?"

Libby is now all still hoping to stay in Ingford, after all Hector is here.

Even to this day, she still holds out hope for Hector.

Therefore, even if they wanted to leave now, it would be too late.

This hope, in the end, made her hit rock bottom.

Sophia, "You'll have to marry now."

There was already nothing she could do.

Libby went crazy, hearing such strong words from Sophia.
