Frederick was a famous guy from underworld, many things related to underworld had something to do with him.
As long as it was him make a move, there would be no mistake.
Yet it was such a figure who failed in her matter that day, she was angry but not daring to go against him.
So, there was a large amount of extortion behind.
Thinking of that man, Vanessa not only had anger, but panic.
And all these years, what she had always feared had come, Chester actually knew about this man.
Chester's eyes reflected an icy light, and even if he was facing his mother at the moment, there was a sharp danger in his eyes.
Vanessa looked at Chester's eyes and wanted to say something, yet at this moment nothing could be said.
"Chester, you..."
"There's always been father in business, father and grandfather never let you get involved in outside matters, you can't be seeing Frederick for company matters."
Vanessa wanted to explain something, but at this moment Chester was blocking even the only suitable excuse she could find.
Since it was not for the company, it was for her business.
Vanessa's mind was already so blank, and now that she heard such sharp words from Chester, all the excuses that instantly came to her mind were blocked as well.
Without waiting for her to speak, Chester continued, "No one has ever dared to offend the Collins family because of the company."
In other words, it was not about the company and it was not about the Collins family.
So, what could she have to do with Frederick herself?
Vanessa only felt shivered all over at this moment.
Vanessa is the honorable Mrs. Collins, and no one dares to disrespect her in Ingford.
And yet she was most afraid to face what had happened back then.
People say that everyone, in their hearts, has a secret that they are most afraid to face.
Even Mrs. Collins hides such a filthiest place deep inside.
All these years, no one ever knew about it, let alone someone mentioned it in front of her.
And today, Chester had obviously come prepared. Her mind was already in disarray.
It took several deep breaths to suppress the stuffy weight of her heart, "It's been so many years since it happened, I can't remember."
She can't deny that she had met Frederick.
She knew that her eldest son, since he had come prepared, had checked this matter out clearly.
And to say 'don't remember' now doesn't seem to make sense.
After all, Frederick was a big name, not just anyone would go to see him casually, and she had secretly met such a character back then, and now she said she didn't remember the reason why she met him.
"You never go out to see anyone, and you even rarely met friends, so you really don't remember something as important as that?"
Chester pushed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.
Vanessa looked at Chester in front of her, who was clearly her son, but now he was like a life charm to her.
