And when Ronan saw that Alina did not take it, he put the envelope on the coffee table and pushed it in Alina's direction, saying in a calm tone, "Master Chester wants you to keep your distance from Master Caleb."
Alina, "Heh."
To keep her and Caleb in a distance?
Have his assistant say it to her? This was like the way Vanessa had been when she had dismissed Emma.
So even without opening the envelope now, Alina probably knew what was inside it.
"Take it back."
"Miss Hughes."
"I say yes." She will keep her distance from Caleb, but she will not want the things inside.
Since when does she feel humiliated by Chester whenever she accepts something from him?
It turns out that even the best relationships can go this far at some point.
Looking at Ronan's darkening face, Alina said, "But I don't know what Master Caleb thinks."
She Agreed.
As for Master Caleb, it was beyond her control.
Ronan's face sunk, and it was clear that this was not the perfect response.
Alina grabbed the envelope and got up, throwing it at Ronan, "Tell him that I won't have any involvement with Collins family in the future, is that reassuring?"
Is this reply perfect?
No matter what the Collins family's entanglement with her looks like, she will draw a line in the sand with all the Collins family, once and for all.
In fact, even if Alina had lived in the Collins family for so many years, Max was like a family member, the whole Collins family, as far as she was concerned now, had nothing left for her, so that was a good answer.
"Many thanks, Miss Hughes." Ronan stood up, still leaving the envelope on the coffee table the moment he turned around.
The moment the door closed, Alina fell onto the sofa as if she had lost all her strength in this instant.
Looking at the envelope, an endless pallor shone in her eyes.
Keeping her at arm's length from the Collins family?
"Heh."
At this time, except for Andre who was always uneasy about Alina, other people's attitudes were puzzled.
When Andre was aware that someone close to Chester had approached Alina and even said something like that, he was angry, and said to Alina, "It seems that he hates you."
Her parents and grandmother are dead, and Alina hates those who hurt them with a passion, even she is determined to uncover all those behind them.
And she succeeded.
Now, Chester, in knowing that her father had gone because of her mother, naturally hated her mother to the core.
Only the difference was that Vanessa was still alive. Her mother was already dead, so even if he hated, there was no outlet for it.
"Andre."
"Yes?"
"Is there really nothing that can be done now?"
The notebook with the testimony of Brodie has been submitted and now Vanessa has been approached again by the Ingford police.
Then that means that Vanessa might really be spared from the same fate as Emma. Thinking of that possibility, thinking of Chester again, Alina's heart choked so hard.
Andre, "Chester is more anxious than you are."
