I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 551 Back then, you lied to me

The moment the engagement news broke, all eyes were on her, and all those people must have thought she would make a scene, right?

Yet it was unexpected that she would be so quiet, as if nothing that happened had anything to do with her.

Alina, "What? You think that I will go up to Eglinton to make trouble?"

Caleb answered without thinking, "You're not like that."

When she heard these words, Alina laughed, looked at Caleb with ridicule.

"So what kind of person am I?"

Acting like he know her now? What about all that happened back then?

It was as if Alina had heard a joke.

Caleb could hear the meaning in Alina's tone, his heart had a dull ache for a moment, it hurt.

"Alina, back in the day..."

"It's long since been irrelevant to me."

When she left Ingford, everything had been completely put aside for her.

Caleb, "..."

Alina looked at Caleb, and the mockery showed under her eyes.

"Go."

"Alina."

"The Collins family has made me a fool and more of a joke, and I have nothing to say to you now."

It was not only him, but Chester.

Caleb had to admit that Alina was really being made into a fool.

"All those years, you really did not treat me..." At this moment surprisingly Caleb said no words.

What was it like in those years?

And in talking about those years of their marriage, Alina's eyes were cold.

She said, "All those years?"

Caleb, "..."

"1

Alina, "All those years, you lied to me."

Caleb, "..." What answer does he want to know? Whether or not she had really been in love with him all those years?

But in the heart of Alina today, he deceived her for Emma.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Alina continued, "You Collins family have made me make more than one or two jokes." In saying this, she was not sure whether she was being sarcastic with Caleb or with herself.

During those years of marriage, he was responsible for her, and even in his tender moments, she had her heart set on him. Unaware of her memory loss, at that time she really thought that it was not a bad idea for her to spend her life with him. But who would have thought that the tenderness he showed her was a lie?

When the memory came back, she really wanted to die.

But she can't.

Vanessa wants her to die. Her parents, her grandmother, were all pushed completely to hell at her hands.

And even if she died, it was definitely not at that time, was it?

To this point, Caleb knows that the past is not destined to be talked about between them.

The moment he got up, Alina said, "Don't come to see me in the future."

Caleb was, at this moment, actually quite aware that Alina was now defensive towards the Collins family and would not open her heart to anyone again, especially the Collins family.

"No matter what happens with you and them, I'm on your side." Caleb looked back at Alina, all determination in his eyes at that moment.

Alina looked at him fiercely, pupils tightened, "That's your mother."

Mother?

"There's no right or wrong just because she is my mother?" After so many big events have happened to him, Caleb understood that even if they were families, there had to be right and wrong. Alina, "..."

Caleb would have never thought at that time that there would be a difference between right and wrong.

Alina smiled.

This time, the smile on her lips was not sarcastic, and she seemed to become relaxed at the moment because of it.

She said, "It's good that you have the judgement of what's right and wrong today."

In this way, in the future, when he meets any woman, he will at least not make the woman suffer.

Caleb heard the implied meaning in Alina's tone, and his heart became more and more stuffy and heavy.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Is it really no longer possible?"

He didn't have the courage to say after all.

Alina withdrew her gaze on him and shook her head, "Do you think it's possible?"

In fact, at the time when she was forced to jump into the Hasnan Bridge, Caleb understood at that time.

There is no more possibility between him and Alina, and what is happening in Eglinton now can be interpreted as Chester not wanting to make things difficult for Alina.

But more than that, he hated Alina.

Caleb left.

Alina seems to be quite relaxed at this moment, but this relaxation makes people feel endlessly depressed.

Andre came in, "What did you say?"

"Give up." Faced with Andre's question, Alina faintly spat out.

She pined no hope for all the Collins family, and Chester this time apparently gave up on her, right?

And when Andre heard these words, his heart smothered for a moment, although he had always wanted Alina and the Collins family to draw a clear line.

But, when he had just seen Caleb leave from here with an air of desperation, the relief on Alina's body did not seem so easy to him.

Just as Andre was about to say something else, the phone vibrated.

Subconsciously glancing at Alina, who had a stoic look, Andre silently took the phone to the side and picked it up.

Just a few minutes, his face change dramatically.

Returning to Alina, he looked at Alina with some apprehension, "The police have intervened in the investigation."

The case back then was originally closed when Emma was there, and now because of the challenge brought by Alina, the approval from above has gone through. There is so much at stake behind this and it is being taken seriously.

Alina heard this, closed her eyes.

"Keep an eye on Eglinton these days."

Andre, "..."

In a split second, Andre understood what Alina meant, although Caleb could tell right from wrong, but to Chester, it's clear that everything has gotten out of hand.
