Previously, as long as Andre thought of the harm the Collins family had done to Alina, he wished Alina to be far away from that family.
But now, when he saw how calm Alina was, he ached.
Because he knew better than anyone else that it was impossible between Alina and Chester, and then it was impossible for anyone else to be with her for the rest of her life.
She will be alone for the rest of her life.
"In that case, it's good." For a long time, Andre said.
He could not understand why Alina was so calm when she knew that Chester and Annie were engaged to be married.
But now watching her be able to force herself to smile and say 'it's fine' even in the face of such news was, in fact, it was so hard for her.
But at this time, she, surprisingly, did it.
"I'll pick you up for lunch at noon." Many words were turned into nothing in the calmness of Alina.
Alina nodded.
Andre explained something more to Alina before he came out of her office.
Brandon was waiting outside.
When he saw Brandon, Andre subconsciously glanced at the office door which had been closed and said, "Pay more attention today."
He knew that Alina was not as calm as she appeared to be, and that inside she already was undergoing shock.
Brandon nodded, "Don't worry."
Andre left.
Alina was alone in the office, her world completely quiet.
The sound of a lighter rang out, followed by a blue flame rushing out, she lit a cigarette and took a heavy drag.
The smell of smoke was stimulating.
She wasn't really used to the smell of cigarettes, but when she was upset, she would smoke.
But she had quit smoking since Chester had returned to her, and now that it was visible that some of the shock in her heart burned again.
...
Caleb had stayed in the International Hotel last night, but he never went to look for Alina.
Apparently, even now, he still doesn't know how to face her when he sees the news of Chester's engagement.
Caleb closed his eyes.
The phone in his hand smashed heavily on the marble coffee table.
Tomas was alarmed.
Caleb, "What's going on?"
When he left Werland Villa, he was still so adamant that he would not hurt Alina and that Caleb would not stand a chance.
Yet only a few dozen hours had passed, and such a radical change had occurred between him and Alina?
Tomas, "Madam was not in a good state when he left from the Collins Castle."
So something must have happened to Chester and Vanessa, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
All that stuff that was reported was true.
Caleb, "So, he put it all on her?"
The tone of his voice was unable to suppress the anger in it.
Looking at Chester's current situation, he can tell that all those things reported out of are true.
Although it has now been suppressed, this has still set off huge waves in Chester's world.
Although in Alina's world, he hadn't been a good person at one time, but now he was watching the harm Chester had done to her, he felt heartbroken.
Tomas felt the dangerous aura emanating from Caleb's body and chill ran down his spine, "This matter was manipulated by Miss Hughes behind the scenes."
Caleb, "..."
