I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 571 There are many people who are watching them

It was his mother, after all.

When people were around before, no matter what happened, but the things that Vanessa did were all out in the open.

So at that time, Caleb was supporting Alina, but now it was different.

His mother was gone.

He had to be present at the funeral, no matter how indifferent he was to his mother, and no matter what position he stood for.

"He hates you right now." The man shoved the glass into her hand before sitting down beside her and taking a drink.

To his question, Alina did not respond, but said, "You life was snatched back from the ghost gate by him, want to die?"

It was only red wine, but in the end, Caleb had been operated on, and with another operation on the kidney, it made smoking and alcohol more hurtful. Alina took a deep breath, and her body was filled with sullen.

The glass of wine in Caleb's hand was jerked away from her and placed on the small table, she asked, "What about you?"

He said Chester hated her, so what about Caleb himself? That's Chester's mother, and Caleb's.

Caleb, "..."

At the sound of her words, the pupils that looked at Alina had a moment of laxity before coming into focus.

Shaking his head, he said, "I'd make the same choice if I were you."

Alina, "..."

At the sound of his voice, her heart snapped.

And then she smiled.

In that smile, there was a touch of bitterness, "It is rare that you have such a realization in the face of such a great event."

She really had no choice at the time.

Caleb looked at the bitterness on the corners of Alina's mouth, pinched her already thin cheeks and said, "Before you did this, you knew it was impossible with him?" Alina subconsciously avoided it.

Taking a sip of the water, she was silent without saying a word.

She knew it before she did it, and she was so scared at that time that Chester would hate her.

"Why didn't you tell him?" It was about how Vanessa would hurt Andre and Grandpa.

She did all this because she sensed what was behind it, and that's why she struck out at Vanessa in that split second.

If all this had been told to Chester, would things have come to this point?

"Are you clear what kind of a person Edison is?" Alina asked, a suppressed tremble in her tone.

Those who understand that hatred of Edison will know that if he and Vanessa join forces with each other.

Then anything they strike out to do, they are defensible.

And when he heard the person Edison, Caleb looked at Alina and wanted to say something, yet nothing could be said.

After all these years in the Collins family, he didn't even know his grandfather had undergone such a thing.

"He is so ruthless that he can spend so many years to compile such a big intrigue, completely regardless of time, even at any cost." Without waiting for Caleb to speak, Alina said first. And then, again, she added, "I can't afford to lose."

When she were with Chester, they were defenceless, so now even if Chester is on top of the heap, she still dared not bet on Grandpa and Andre.

Caleb understood what kind of torment Alina had endured during this time, and what kind of pain those were for her.

"I'm sorry." Chester didn't protect her back then when he was around, when Chester had just graduated from college.

Yet for those three years with him, he failed to gain insight into what was happening around her.

In response to Caleb's apologies, Alina appeared indifferent.

She said, "I think your mother would probably have torn me apart if Max hadn't protected me?"

Edison, a thorn in Max's heart, could not be pulled out.

The fact that Vanessa has been safe and sound in the Collins family for so many years is probably due to Max's regard for Edison's affairs, right?

Even if he was as cold as he can be, Edison was still his son.

There was nothing he could do.

When Alina and Caleb got off the plane together, Tomas was already waiting at the airport and froze for a moment when he saw Caleb and Alina appear together.

But he still stepped forward to respectfully take the luggage from Caleb's hand, Alina opened her mouth, "Give me mine."

Caleb looked over at her.

Alina, "I'm going back to Mulherd Manor."

Caleb, "Alina."

There was some concern in his tone the moment he opened his mouth.

Alina looked at her wristwatch, it was now past ten in the evening and she planned to go to Chester early tomorrow morning.

She asked, "What time is the funeral?"

"Tomorrow."

Alina's breath sank.

Then it looks like it's time to go to Chester this evening.

Caleb saw what she was thinking and said, "Shall I accompany you?"

"No, thanks."

Her tone was cold with a touch of detachment, clearly whatever had happened between her and Chester, Caleb will always be the person she has to keep her distance from. Even if it's true that it's impossible with Chester, it's still completely impossible with Caleb.

Her phone rang, it was from Andre, Alina picked it up, "Andre."

With that, she glanced at Caleb, turned around and left after giving a gesture.

Caleb originally wanted to follow.

HoweverTomas stopped him, "Sir."

"You..."

"There are many people staring at you two in Ingford now." As he said this, Tomas' tone was all gloomy.

Caleb's already bad face instantly turned darker when he heard Tomas' words, "What's going on?"

"Annie is over here, you know Macy ..." Tomas did not continue the latter words.

But the implication is clear enough.

Macy and Annie have had disagreement before, but Annie was Macy's sister after all.

Now that Annie has arrived over here, it is naturally self-explanatory in what capacity she is actually appearing next to Chester. They had waited too long for this day.

So now there will be no more people around Chester who are a distraction to Annie, especially from Alina.

When she got off the plane, or got on the plane, Macy got the message.

He can't tell if Annie is scheming or not.

But from those collaborations between Macy and Vanessa, it's clear that this woman is not simple. Therefore at this juncture, Caleb naturally had to avoid Alina.

"Humph!" Caleb snorted coldly, not caring about any of this, and clearly not putting Macy in his sights.

Yet Tomas' words were a reminder to him, "Women will make more stormy than you would expect."
