Chapter 512 The outrageous past
Andre looked at Chester and said, "The one she is most guilty of all these years is you, but your family..."
Andre did not continue the latter words, but the same cold harshness shone in his eyes, "I'm taking her away."
After learning that the Collins family was hiding so much, Andre's first reaction was to take Alina and leave Ingford.
Not wanting to say anything more to Chester, he stood up and headed for the main building, but Chester stood up as well.
He stood in front of Andre, "You can't take her away."
"What gives you the right to keep her around? Do you know that it was the guilt of not being able to face you that drove her mad for a time back then?"
Andre roared with bitter fury.
Back then, why did Alina go crazy? Because she loved Chester too much, and after what happened, she knew that there was no more possibility between her and Chester.
She, therefore, went mad.
Chester looked at Andre with scarlet eyes.
"The person who pushed her into the abyss was your mother, okay?" With every word, Andre pierced into Chester's heart like a needle.
Chester's pupils tightened.
"What did you say?"
When Chester asked this question, he knew that he must not know this yet.
After all, Chester didn't even know that the person who pushed Alina into the abyss back was his mother.
"Three days before she had her accident, your mother met with Frederick, you didn't know that, did you?"
"..."
"What's a noble lady meeting a local villain for?"
At this moment, Chester only feels like his body is being soaked in cold water.
Three days ago, his mother met with Frederick, and three days later, something happened to Alina.
"But back then..." Chester spoke again as if he could not hear his voice.
Not waiting for him to finish, Andre interrupted him, "But the person who raped Alina was your brother, do you think this is retribution for your mother?"
"..."
"She's had a hard time pretending all these years, hasn't she?" When this matter came out, they had always sensed that Vanessa had something to do with it.
But they didn't expect this was the truth.
And who could see that she was hiding so deeply with the attitude she had shown towards Alina since her return from Shirling?
In retrospect, it's ironic.
Not wanting to say anything more to Chester, Andre turned around and walked towards the main building, and this time Chester didn't stop him.
Chester, who was full of nobility and awe, seemed to have lost his breath at this moment.
"Abby." murmured the name softly, he felt his heart choking and aching.
What he knew and what Andre knew were two completely different things, and he hadn't expected her mother was behind it, so how much more is there that he doesn't know? What has she done?
...
The moment Alina saw Andre, she was calm, and such calmness made Andre uneasy.
Stepping forward, he pulled her up into his arms.
He uttered, "It's none of our business, okay?"
It is so ironic.
Before, Chester's deep love for Alina was once so touching. Yet who would have thought of the pain they endured between them was all his mother's doing.
At the moment, Andre is not denying Chester's feelings, but does not want to have any more involvement with the Collins family.
The same goes for Alina.
She was tired.
"Okay." Attached to Andre's arms, she spat out a word very calmly.
Without waiting for Andre to speak, Alina said, "Andre, take me away."
At this time, what did it mean when Alina said she was leaving? Andre knew very well.
What was actually clearer was that she was actually prepared, before she returned to Ingford, to take Penny and live alone.
So now when knowing such an unpleasant inside story, how could she still stay here?
There is no telling how much more awaits her.
"Okay." The strength of Andre's hold on her was heavier at the moment.
Luckily, she was more awake now, and under such a heavy blow, did she hurt? Sure.
However, she has matured.
So even under such a pounding, she managed to keep her emotions well under wraps.
...
Chester didn't know how he had come back, and standing in front of the gate, he saw Alina, who was holding the child's hand.
She had no intention of taking anything with her.
Just take away the kid.
"Abby." Seeing Alina full of peace, Chester's heart choked terribly.
It is known that when she shows such a side, she is truly and utterly wounded inside.
How much more damage has been done in such a way to have such a hardened side today? At the time of such a severe injury, she protected herself under that shell of calm? And how much damage has been done to create the tough woman.
Alina looked at Chester, who was not far away and exuded an aura of sadness.
Glancing at Andre, she pulled her hand out of Andre's hand and walked slowly towards Chester, who watched her walk towards him, subconsciously, Chester opened his arms, as he always did, hoping that she would run into his arms and be held close to him.
Yet the pace of Alina was no longer a brisk gallop, there was only an endless calm and slowness.
Chester's heart was aching.
"Abby."
Chester did not know how to make Alina stay.
Alina stood in front of him, and from last night until now, after knowing what had happened, she had said nothing to him.
And at the moment she stood in front of him, reaching out with her hand and gently stroking his face.
Chester grabbed her cold hand and said, "Are you leaving me?"
The magnetic voice was tinged with a heartbreaking tone.
Alina's tears welled up in her eyes.
Large tears dripped onto the floor, and Chester's grip on her hand was heavier at the moment.
"Abby."
"Chester, we need to stay apart for some time and both calm down." Alina took a deep breath, said in a pensive tone.
"I don't know how many other unsavoury insider secrets I don't know, and I'm afraid it is related to your people."
No one knows how the hell she got through last night until now.
The moment Andre came, all she wanted was to flee, to get away from Chester.
