At this moment, Caleb and Alina were confronting each other.
Caleb suppressed the irritation in his heart, and said to Alina, "As I said, three days."
In the end, he accepted it.
Alina would voluntarily come to Werland Villa solely because Emma was here.
Once, meek as she was, now, before those prices came, she was constantly tormenting Emma.
But, she was so determined?
"I didn't promise you that." Alina said.
Caleb, "Haven't you thought about it, what if it's wrong?"
After all, it's just a photo, not even high definition, it's a screenshot of a video. And it wasn't front or side either, so the possibility of such a mistake was very high.
Alina, "Wrong?"
Alina laughed.
The moment she saw those two screenshots, she had already decided that there was no such possibility as 'what if'.
If there might have been, she would have really hoped it was real.
After all, once the Hughes family had gone to a lot of trouble for Emma. When she had first transferred to the city and her dad had gone to a lot of trouble to get her into the school.
"I wish there was that eventuality." Unfortunately, there wasn't.
Emma would have been instantly recognisable to her.
Such firmness had never existed in Alina's world, but now, she was firm.
So the eventuality that Caleb was talking about was simply impossible in her case.
Or, "Even if there really is that eventuality, she still deserves to suffer for all this now."
Alina’s attitude was so strong.
Caleb's face instantly sank.
No matter what the reason was, Alina wouldn't stop easily.
There are still some scores to be settled when it's time to settle them, and why would this speed up the development of things? It was undoubtedly Caleb who forced her to do so.
If it were possible, Alina would not want things to come to this point.
It's a pity. All of this was because of Caleb.
...
Caleb could see Alina's firm attitude and had a headache. But there was no other way but to have Tomas speed things up.
Moreover, he was now in Werland Villa all day long.
At least the three days he would be here.
He wouldn't go out until the truth of the matter came out.
The way he was protecting Emma was pathetic.
At the dinner table.
Lois felt the tense.
Alina had probably eaten a bit too much at noon, so now she couldn't eat at all, plus she was full at the sight of all these people.
Emma sat on the opposite of Caleb, trembling, looking aggrieved.
"Eat." Caleb looked at Emma.
Emma nodded and sullenly responded with one word, "Okay."
From this tone of voice, it was even more evident that she was aggrieved.
Alina looked at Emma's doings. It just felt disgusting.
Once when she had just dined at the Hughes family, she had looked like this, and that was why her parents had treated her well at that time.
Alina never knew that it was possible for a person to pretend to be pathetic, and in Emma's case, she had seen it once and for all.
