Andre met her sharply constricted pupils with some reluctance. But in the end, he nodded.
Alina, "..."
Her world collapsed.
"If she hated my mother so much, why did she act like she liked me so much back then?" Alina said with a sob.
At the beginning, when she knew what was between her and Chester, Vanessa acted, in fact, accepting of her.
Why were the Hughes family and the Collins family so close to each other?
It's a mess.
Alina's mind was getting more and more confused.
Andre said, "During those years, she probably didn't think about revenge, so who knows what happened after that to make her so hateful?"
"Although Mr. Collins has acted lovingly with her outside all these years, he actually has tormented her much."
"So maybe over time, she changed."
So, Vanessa had actually been kind, she had disliked Alina's mother and wanted to take revenge on her at all times.
However, she did not take any action until Alina knew about Chester's origin after she crashed that incident, and all her hidden patience completely exploded.
So not one is spared.
"So, what she did, is right?"
"..."
"My mother has been dead for many years." Alina cried, but why did she not even spare her grandmother?
Even, now she wanted to take on Andre?
And Andre, after thinking about it during that phone call just now, said, "Because she wants to protect Chester too much."
Alina, "..."
Her already pale face had lost all its blood in an instant.
Because she wanted to protect Chester.
Even if he was more successful, even if he had more status, the way people looked at him had changed.
Even if he share the same awe, that awe is not the same as before, in the end.
When she thought of this, Alina felt endless heartache for Chester.
"So, I've done wrong, have I?" Between her and Vanessa, they had been tangled up all these years because of this matter.
And now, when the root of it all is known, so the wrong person ends up being her?
"It's not your fault, your mother may not have lied back then, there may have been a real child in there."
Alina's eyes closed in pain.
Whatever the truth was back then, as Vanessa said, that Chester's father died because of her mother, while she was still...
"Alina." Andre's worry for her intensified.
Alina, "I was wrong."
It wasn't just her who was wrong, it was everyone.
She is not the only one who has no way out of this intricate mess. As long as they are involved in it, there is no way out.
...
Although Annie is now in Eglinton, all the people already know that she is Chester's fiancee.
