Chapter 474 Change
As Libby said, the Stella of now is not the Stella of then, so it is not that easy to reckon with her.
Especially with the Willis family, she's always been defensive.
"You don't have to worry about that, I have a way." A flash of poisonous intent passed under Sophia's eyes.
Libby looked at Sophia with such certainty, and although she was uneasy in her heart, she could only choose to believe it.
"But you'll have to play nice with me."
"How?"
"From now on, you're going to be a good sister."
As soon as she heard such a tie-in, her face immediately sank.
She couldn't call Stella a sister. And she knew very well that success or failure was at stake.
If Stella cannot be brought Stella down this time, she will definitely marry Kenny.
In order not to marry Kenny, she could only nod her head in agreement, "Okay."
Looking at Libby's rare nod, Sophia was relieved, as her biggest worry now was that Libby would not be able to cooperate properly with her.
...
Alina has returned to the Lawson family.
When Zane saw how thin Alina was, he took her hand in distress, "What have you been doing? Why did you lose so much weight?"
"It's been too busy for a while." Alina did not want to say too much in front of Grandpa.
Zane was once a powerful business figure, but not now, he is now old and many of his energies and thinking cannot keep up.
But still, one thing was noted, "Where's Chester?"
Alina, "..."
When speaking of Chester, her body stiffened and there was even that slight sinking pain in her heart.
"He is busy."
"When are you getting married?"
And when asked about marriage, Alina's heart was even more uncomfortable because she didn't know what the future would be like between herself and Chester.
Marriage, for both of them, was so far away and so luxurious.
But it warmed her heart when her grandfather supported her unconditionally in knowing everything.
She rubbed against the old man's arms, "Grandpa."
"Yes?"
"I miss Penny." She wanted to say that she would be at Grandpa's side from now on, but the words came to her lips and were swallowed back.
The current situation for Alina was dilemmatic.
Speaking of Penny, Zane naturally knew exactly what Caleb was like now.
He did not expect that in the end Caleb would pay such a price for Alina.
But even so, what can be done?
No matter what the current Caleb did for Alina, anyone who is now on Alina will not be able to forgive him in any way.
"Bring her back after some time." Caleb couldn't rob Penny now.
This is why, at the time, the old man did not stop it when he found out.
Alina nodded, "Okay."
"Someone will get her back for you, okay?" Grandpa said softly, soothing Alina.
After all, there are more anxious people in this matter.
And Alina's heart felt slightly more comfortable when she heard this.
...
After all, now according to Caleb, it is absolutely impossible to snatch the child back.
But because of her return, things came to another point, such as the phone call from Vanessa and Julia calling the Lawson family.
When he received the call, Alina's face sank as a result.
"Mrs. Collins." Her tone was much colder at the moment.
Vanessa, obviously heard the clear coldness in Alina's tone, and knew that there was no more tolerance for what they had done before.
Once, because she was married to Caleb, she hadn't given her any good looks at one point, but actually, now how can she blame Alina?
But at that time, it was as if she was possessed.
She had heartache for Chester. And now, she felt sorry for Caleb, every time she sees him in the ward, her heart aches.
"Alina, I beg you, come and see Caleb."
Vanessa's heart was still soft after all.
She thought that it was just a forced match by Max, but now it turns out that everyone has invested in this with emotions.
At one time, they thought all of Caleb's heart was in Emma, but now they find out otherwise.
Even if he had feelings for Emma all those years, she was only mistaken for someone else, but even in that case of mistaken identity, he could not help but feel for Alina.
All obstacles removed, so now, what's left?
The only person left in his heart is Alina.
"You asked me to see Caleb?" Alina's tone was icy when she heard Vanessa asked her to go see Caleb.
Vanessa could hear the icy coldness in Alina's tone.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "Alina, he's been calling your name."
"So what?"
Vanessa, "..."
Could it be that she didn't understand?
"Everything is Emma's fault, if it wasn't for Emma, you would be living a good and happy life, you have your own children, your own home, your own future, everything is destroyed by Emma, Caleb is innocent, don't you understand?"
"He is innocent, what about me?"
When things came out, everyone was innocent in the eyes of the bystanders.
So who is not innocent?
Whose fault was it that she went mad back then?
Emma admitted her mistake because it was the Hughes family who financed her causing her heart to break and she was innocent of all the bad things she did.
Now Caleb is lying in a hospital bed, dying, so whatever evil he has done, he is innocent.
So she deserved it?
"I have nothing to say to you guys." Without waiting for Vanessa to speak, Alina hung up the phone.
The world was quiet.
And she was trembling.
Why, after what happened, did all the people tell her to compromise?
And what should she do?
Megan was not far away, listening clearly to this phone call just now. Looking at Alina's trembling back, she went forward, and embraced her in her arms.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Why are they thinking of compromising me?"
"Because they are anxious, panicked, and use the suffering of others to satisfy their own weakness of heart and compassion, that's human nature."
That sums it all up.
