I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 556 He must have known

Alina's heart was uneasy.

She naturally did not believe Vanessa's words, but she really feared that grudge started from that time onwards.

If, indeed, it was from that time onwards, then it was a complete retribution of injustice between the two families. Nothing can be seen on the surface in harmony, yet there is a surge in the shadows that no one can see. Back then, she really didn't see it halfway.

On the way to the office, Andre could see that she was preoccupied, "Chester probably knows it."

The news of the engagement to Annie had previously baffled them, if only because of the knowledge of it.

Then everything is explained.

And in talking about Chester, Alina's heart kept sanking in this instant.

"He never believes in anything for no reason." So Chester knew that it might not be as simple as Vanessa had said.

Or, perhaps, he has figured out everything.

Alina and Andre thought of this at the same time, the two subconsciously glanced at each other. Alina's face grew whiter.

And Andre had worry for her all over his eyes.

"Whatever the case, don't jump to conclusions now, I'll go and find out for you."

At this point in time, how dare she be clear about anything?

And Andre felt the scent emanating from her body, his warm palm over the back of her cold hand invisibly giving her some strength. However Alina now just thinking that what Vanessa said might be true, her heart was chilling uncontrollably.

"What's going to happen if it turns out to be true?"

Andre, at this time, asked this heart-wrenching question.

And when Alina heard this question, her already bad face turned paler at the moment.

It was something that she was absolutely afraid to face, but had to face.

"I don't know." As he said these words, Alina's mind sank.

She doesn't know either.

If, indeed, the feud had started because of her mother, then who was she to say anything?

Andre was already worried about her, and now that he heard her say this, he was even more worried.

...

Alina had no idea how she got to the office and spent the morning in a muddle, and Brandon could see that something was on her mind.

So she was not approached in the morning about anything major, fearing that she would make the wrong decision.

Andre was really worried about her, so at noon, he came over to keep her company again. With Andre by her, Alina was better off. However, Andre brought not-so-good news.

He said, "In the morning, Vanessa went to Eglinton on Chester's special plane, which was arranged by Chester."

At the sound of his voice, Alina looked fiercely at Andre.

Alina's pupils couldn't help but tighten, at this moment her heart felt as if someone was stabbing it with a needle.

There was not the same reaction as when Emma left Ingford at that time.

It seemed to Alina Vanessa's departure shows how much control Chester has over the whole thing.

He knew, however much is still unclear now, but at least it was clear about what happened back then.

And that incident back then was probably really what Vanessa had said to her on the phone, otherwise, Alina couldn't explain why he would care about Vanessa at this time. Although, that was his mother. But in accordance with the divide between them, at least it would not be a strike now.

And now, he strikes.

Andre looked at the unpredictable change of emotions under Alina's eyes, "Alina."

Not being in good spirits already, Andre was really worried that it would stimulate her.

Without Chester, Alina was already suffering, and now Vanessa had let her know such a thing, wasn't this a great stimulus for her?

And who caused the end between her and Chester?

"So, it is true." Alina looked woodenly at Andre and tried to say something.

However, she did not know what to say.

Andre, "..."

His thin lips were pursed as he looked at Alina, wanting to say something to appease her, yet at the moment, it seemed, nothing would work on her. Alina's breathing all turned thicker at this moment.

It's too complicated.

Why is it so complicated on her?

Once, when Caleb lied to her, she could hate Caleb, but who should she hate now?

"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to look into it, maybe things aren't what you think." Seeing Alina's face getting pale, Andre uttered. And Alina now, as if she couldn't hear anything at all.

Her whole world, it seemed, was now overshadowed.

Just as Andre was about to say something else, the phone rang, and the moment he saw the number, he subconsciously glanced at Alina. Apparently, it was the number of the person who had been told to check it out, and the call at this time probably had some result on what was going on. Andre went outside to take a call and returned, his face was grittier.

Alina looked at him woodenly, obviously knowing what that phone call from him meant.

"Alina." Looking at Alina with such a look in his eyes, Andre had a slight heartache. Alina, "What is it?"

As she asked those three words, her lips could not stop trembling.

How nice it would be if things really weren't what they thought they were.

Yet, in the end, it was an extravagant hope, and since the matter was before them, it was a sign that the matter itself was very uncomplicated.

Andre, "Did you hear your mother mention that fire?"

Alina didn't know.

Andre, "Chester's father, who perished in that fire, was in that building because of your mother's words."

Alina, "..."

It was just a short sentence, yet it seemed so long and heavy.

Alina lost her sanity in this instant.

Her world, in this moment, was dark.

"So, what she said is true?" Alina looked at Andre, tears welling up in her eyes.

She tried hard to hold it in, but eventually burst out.
