I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 554 Don't I love her enough?

Alina's heart rose and fell so much, and her body trembled uncontrollably, and she raised her hand.

She continued, "Do I not love her enough?"

"Enough, you love her very much."

"So why..." why just can't she just this one love?

No one knew how hard it was for Alina when Penny cried and told her that she wanted her father and mother to be together.

She actually thought about letting go of what she once had, but when Vanessa pressed on step by step, even tried to lay hands on Andre. Her stoicism completely collapsed.

"When I gave birth to her back then, I never thought she would have a father." Alina said.

At that time, she thought the child was Caleb's and therefore hated him so much.

She had not even thought of this child to have a father, and what was happening to her now was undoubtedly forcing her to do so.

And that is something she cannot accept.

Andre, "It's the environment that causes it."

"She used to be at home, no one was there to differentiate on that issue, so she had no comparison."

"But it's different now, she goes to school. Her world is already filled with all kinds of people, understand?"

And those people are constantly influencing Penny.

Alina understood.

It is because she understands everything that it is all the more painful in her heart.

Who, exactly, ruined it all?

People on Alina's side say that it was Vanessa who ruined everything, while Chester thinks that it was Alina, right? This must be the case, otherwise, how could he have announced the engagement between him and Annie?

If, in the case of Vanessa, no one ever intervened, it would have been better.

But once someone steps in, then the engagement of Chester has a different meaning.

Vanessa was always reluctant to sign the document given by Alby, who eventually appeared in front of her.

It was the first time since Max's death that they had faced each other, head-on.

Seeing Alby, the corner of Vanessa's mouth lifted up in a mocking smile, "You didn't even come back to mourn your mother, how heartbreaking."

As the words fell, a flash of danger passed under his eyes, and when he looked at her, there was a sharp, icy gleam under those eyes.

Yet such icy coldness, Vanessa did not take it into account in the slightest.

"You love that person who died so much, you still have other women? In that case, who are you to hate me?"

What right does he to hate someone who has nothing to do with it?

Alby looked at her indifferently.

The two, now traveling in stark contrast, have lost their former glory with all that has befallen Vanessa during this time.

Alby, on the other hand, seemed to have been particularly favoured by the heavens over the years, leaving no trace of age on his face.

He's a man of the world.

And she almost broke down in his silent torment.

"If it wasn't for Max protecting you all these years, do you think you'd still be alive?"

Vanessa looked at Alby and met his cold eyes.

"The lawyer will give you the agreement one last time, if you don't sign it, you will beg for your life."

Alby said coldly, standing up and looking askance at Vanessa, who was prostrate on the ground, with a body full of reserve.

And Vanessa's previous toughness collapsed at this moment, in these cold eyes of the man.

The moment Alby turned away, she still struggled, "I can't leave here."

Tears fell down.

Although public opinion has been swirling all this time, no one has ever dared to say positively that it was her, and that the child in question was Chester.

There was even much speculation about Alby's return nowadays, but no one ever dared to say so openly.

It is because even if Alby comes back, she still lives in the Collins Castle today, if she leaves here, then everything will leave her.

She could care less about this name as Mrs. Collins, but she can't have the public opinion be confirmed.

"It's not up to you."

Alby said in a ruthless tone.

Vanessa, "No."

"Then it seems that I can not let go your sinful son." Alby turned back slightly, and at that moment his eyes were full of hostility. Vanessa knew that he was not joking.

The arrogance and provocation of a moment ago was completely extinguished when she was under such a strong presence of the man.

He was right, once they had Max to protect them, and he was good to Chester at that time because of Max.

So now Max was gone.

Although Chester now has a certain position in both Eglinton and Ipswich, Vanessa had not confidence.

"You are heartless." Seeing that the man did not budge in the slightest, Vanessa's heart kept sinking in this moment.

His thin lips were tightly pursed and his eyes were full of coldness as he looked at her.

Without much ado, he turned around and left.

And Vanessa looked at Alby's elegant back, her heart seemed to be empty, not because of the man in front of her.

Rather, it was because of Chester.

She was still worried about her son.

"Chester."

At that moment, her heart was aching.

Humiliation, resentment, and hate converged at this moment.

She, without her position as Mrs. Collins, was humiliated and swept away, and Chester would be criticised for life.

This is why Vanessa has been on guard against Alina all these years, and even wants to get rid of her at any time.

Macie came in again, and brought in her lawyer. Earlier, when things had just happened, Macie still had some pity for Vanessa.

And now, when Mr. Collins had thrown her out of the house, even without the power to fight back, it was natural to know that all that was true. So much so that, though fear was in the eyes, disdain for her was implied.

"Here's the paper you're going to sign, it's three copies."

Alby, even if he hadn't been in the country for so many years, could have made her lose everything in one night.

Vanessa hated so much that she only felt that it was all caused by the announcement of that incident, and now, she hated Alina even more.
