I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 574 It's impossible to sort out

Alina didn't know how she hung up the phone. Lucy wanted to say something to her to comfort her, yet she was soft on the sofa, her face ashen.

The vacant look, clearly unable to hear anything now, lasted until almost two in the morning, when she fell asleep.

Only then did Lucy quietly bring her a cup to cover it.

Waterside Villa.

Penny looked at Chester with tears in her eyes, and Chester said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

His tone was all doting, and it was clear that he really liked the child too, and it was almost three o'clock.

Yet the child looked at him with tears in her eyes, with resignation.

"Daddy."

"Yes?"

"I miss Mummy." Penny said pitifully.

The air in the room then chilled, and Penny, being an extremely intelligent child, naturally sensed the atmosphere in an instant.

Why did she go to Chester in Eglinton? Because Chester had been good to her and she was simple-minded.

Because he was good to her and said he was her father, she trusted Chester.

But this time.

After arriving at Chester's place, Penny clearly felt that something seemed to have changed between them.

Under his eyes, he didn't seem to have the same warmth as before.

Especially when it came to her mother.

He looked at her so coldly, without any half temperature or reassurance under his eyes, and even with suppressed danger. "Daddy." Feeling the coldness on Chester, Penny's voice was weak.

She looked frightened.

"Go to sleep." Looking at the child looking at him defensively, Chester closed his eyes and held the child in his arms.

Soft and supple, with the scent of Alina seemingly still on her body.

After all these years.

Penny was in Chester's arms, her big eyes fluttering, not sleepy at all.

...

No one knows what kind of nightmare Alina had over in overnight.

At 4am, she felt as if she had slept for a century, sitting on the sofa, her eyes shining with endless deep pain.

What role did Vanessa play in her world? Those nightmares were tearing her awake.

Those eyes were so malevolent, in fact, every time something happened to her parents and grandmother, she actually had a premonition. But there is nothing that can be done about it.

Her scream resounded through Mulherd Manor, with absolute hatred for Vanessa.

Chester had always been obstruction between them, because of Chester, the belated revenge and finality had finally come.

Yet even though Vanessa had gone now, the hatred she felt for Vanessa in her heart was still there.

In this strong rendering of hatred, everything between Chester and her was completely covered up, even faded.

When she heard the commotion, Lucy put on a coat and went downstairs, seeing Alina sitting on the sofa in a state of distress.

Seeing that her hair was scattered, Lucy was in shock.

It was as if she had seen Alina back then, whose sanity was once stimulated and damaged after that night.

She was like this, in Mulherd Manor, on this couch, out of control.

"Lady Alina." Lucy stepped forward and hugged Alina, whose body was trembling.

Lucy, "Lady Alina, calm down, calm down."

Lucy hugged Alina in fear that she might not be able to withstand the excitement at this time and thus have an accident.

As for Alina, as Lucy thought, her sanity was now completely lost.

Alina was trembling badly.

"Lucy." The moment she opened her mouth, her lips were trembling lightly with the light tremor of losing her mind.

Lucy hugged her with heavier force, "I'm here, if you have anything to say to me, don't hold it inside, okay?"

Back then, it was after that night that Alina could not say anything in the face of her grandmother's questioning.

She's bitter inside.

She just swallowed all those things inside and bore it all alone.

Those things kept pounding in her mind and eventually made her completely lose her mind.

"How can he rob the child?" Alina closed her eyes and said.

At the moment, it was as if she had lost all her strength.

The thought of Chester saying that who the child belongs to has always stimulated Alina's sanity.

Lucy hugged Alina, "He won't, he won't."

Those public opinions have almost drowned out Chester, who therefore had been criticised.

Even Vanessa's funeral tomorrow can't be held at the Collins family.

He hates Alina in his heart?

In the face of such public opinion, he still hated Alina after all, and even decided that Vanessa's death was forced by Alina.

But how could he hate Alina?

For so many years they had confronted each other, Vanessa had never been soft on her, and how many families had Alina lost at the hands of Vanessa?

It was more than she could ever repay with her life.

In this way, how could Chester hate Alina?

"Lucy, how can he hate me?" Alina said in pain.

All those years, no matter what Vanessa had done to her, no matter what she had done to the entire Hughes family, she had never hated the innocent Chester.

Because she knew that it had nothing to do with Chester, it was all about Vanessa.

Lucy listened to the pain in Alina's tone and knew exactly what was on her mind.

Lucy said with a sigh, "You don't hate him because he was never involved in any of Mrs. Collins' plans, and he hates you..."

What does Chester hate Alina for?

The latter words were not continued by Lucy, but their meaning was clear.

Chester hates Alina because whether it was this one against Vanessa or the current public opinion, it was Alina who caused it.

"He just hasn't figured it out yet, and when he does, the misunderstanding between you will be clear."

"It's not a misunderstanding, it's not a misunderstanding."

Lucy felt Alina's increasingly trembling and soothed her, "Yes, yes, it's not a misunderstanding, but you can't help it."

Not to mention Alina.

Even anyone would have made the same choice as she did when it came to this.

"You love him so much, what has Vanessa pushed you into over the years? But those things were hard not to be exposed in half a word." And this time, it was just to protect Grandpa and Andre.

It was a complete overturning of Vanessa's secrets, so that she no longer has time to be able to strike out at those around her.
