I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 566 Darkness

She had underestimated Alina after all.

She thought she could just report it to the police or something, but she didn't expect there would be any evidence to submit.

Vanessa's heart was in a constant surge, she wanted to say something, yet at this moment it was surprisingly unable to say anything. She didn't want to go with these people.

"No, I must see my son." The moment the cold shackles were placed on her wrists, she felt as if her life had come to a standstill at that moment.

There is still some discrepancy with what Alina knows. What Alina knows is that the investigation is already underway.

Yet who would have thought that with everything that is now in hand, the evidence is so overwhelming that it is not an investigation, but an arrest?

"No, I didn't, none of this has anything to do with me, it's not me, it's not me."

She was arrogant before, as if even if everything was done by her, Alina couldn't do anything to her.

When really faced with this moment, Vanessa realized that no matter what kind of high ground she was standing on, once it was revealed, then she would have to pay the price accordingly.

"I want to see Chester, I want to see my son." She, in the position of Mrs. Collins, had been in the limelight for half her life. All the people respected her as Mrs. Collins.

She is so dignified.

How could she allow it, such a cold and humiliating thing to be worn on her hands, yet no matter how much she struggled, it was powerless to resist.

By the time Chester came back to Upper Royal Manor, Vanessa had already been taken away, the living room was a mess, the servants in and the butler hadn't even come back to their senses. in all the years they have been here, this is the first time they have been faced with such a situation.

All along, in their hearts, Chester was a god-like existence.

Even all this time, with all the public opinion surrounding her outside, it did not in any way affect her reserved elegance in the hearts of the people.

But now that Vanessa was taken away in that particular way here, it still struck everyone's heart in the end.

He kicked at the coffee table.

Lucas followed in behind him and saw Chester covered in cold, dangerous aura overflowing the whole castle.

"Sir."

Chester, "Ingford?"

There is danger all over in his words.

Since knowing his birth and Vanessa's concealment over the years, Chester has become much less disconnected from his mother.

And this time, he was trying to protect her.

Lucas nodded, "Yes."

"Make the arrangements."

"..." Take a trip to Ingford.

Lucas nodded and hurried to make arrangements.

The moment he turned around, he saw the trembling butler and the servants, and asked them to leave first.

The butler and the maids sighed with relief as if they had been pardoned.

Chester was left alone.

...

Alina has been in the jury box, the competition will start in ten minutes, the scene is already buzzing with excitement.

As she was about to turn off her phone, Andre's call came in, Alina picked it up, "Andre."

"Vanessa has been arrested." Andre said.

Alina, "..."

The news came suddenly, yet she was unhappy by now, and the more she got to the end, the colder she felt all over. Without waiting for her to speak, Andre continued, "Chester has gone over to Ingford."

From the time Chester picked up Vanessa from Ingford earlier, he had already made his position on the matter clear. Alina's heart choked even more, "Got it."

Although she had probably known a lot about it before, the moment the news came, it still surprised her.

Now for Alina, her heart, apparently, was torn apart with pain.

Woodenly hanging up the phone, it was clear that at this time Alina didn't want to say anything.

Alina did not know how she spent the rest of the day, and her mind was blank until the end.

Brandon was waiting outside, and when he saw her pale face, he hurried forward to take things from her hand, and it was obvious that Brandon knew about it. Alina paused as she walked to the car door, her thin back trembling.

"Are you alright?" Brandon handed a bottle of water to Alina.

Alina took it, unscrewed the cap and drank half of the bottle, and didn't even feel the least bit relaxed.

Brandon looked at Alina's pale face and asked, "Are you going to Ingford now?"

In just a short time, Ingford has been in a mess.

Chester has gone back, he must be burnt out by now.

When she was asked if she wanted to go to Ingford, her already pale face was even more bloodless at the moment. She shook her head, "No."

Going to Ingford?

What could she do if she went there? Face Chester? She doesn't know how to face him.

She wants the result of paying for the death of her parents, yet who would have thought that in this are the victims?

The phone flashed with Andre's number, and he picked up, "Alina."

"Where is Edison now?"

Edison was the man who started it all.

Andre, "He was caught by Chester, and it is unknown where he is being kept now."

Alina, "..."

Hearing that this person was caught by Chester, Alina's heart choked even more.

In this case, everyone was looking for the one they hated the most.

Chester, on the other hand, was the root cause of getting the whole thing into this and paying a heavy price.

Alina clearly felt Chester's hatred for her, which made her numb and suffocated.

It plunged her whole world into darkness.

"Alina, Alina!" Her breath felt heavier and heavier on the other of the phone, and Andre's tone was tightening.

Yet Alina seems, now, unable to hear anything at all.

Her world, literally, had lost its light and its sound.

Eventually, the phone in her hand crashed to the ground, falling straight into two halves.

Her world was spinning.

At the moment when she almost fell to the ground, Brandon was quick to catch her in his arms, "Miss, Miss."

And Alina's world was completely plunged into darkness.
