Without waiting for Caleb to say anything else, Alina hung up the phone.
When he dropped off Margot at the hotel, however, Margot did not get off immediately, Alina looked at her, "What?"
"Miss Hughes, is it really impossible for you to go back to Caleb?"
Alina's eyebrows tightly knitted.
The image between Margot and Caleb flashed in her mind when she was at the company.
Alina closed her eyes, "If you know the feud between me and the entire Collins family, then you wouldn't be asking me this question."
Margot froze momentarily.
And then she understood what Alina meant by that.
Once, when Alina didn't know anything, then all her involvement with the Collins family seemed logical.
But after knowing that, it was the hurdle in her heart that was the hardest to get past.
Margot got out of the car.
Alina went back to her hotel, after this was over, she had to continue to stay here for another day, to meet with people on various detailed projects.
Pola saw Alina return and respectfully stepped forward, "You're back."
Alina nodded and took off her coat, which Pola respectfully took, before pouring her a cup of black tea to warm her up.
The moment Alina took it, she said, "I met Mr. Williamson when I was downstairs just now."
Fabian was not a stranger to her, after all, during the two years she was married to Caleb, their relationship was not exactly harmonious and intimate, but they were considered to be respectful of each other.
Therefore, Caleb's many circles would naturally not avoid her.
When Pola heard Alina mention Fabian's name, her body stiffened for a moment, and Alina looked at her and said, "He's been following you all this time."
Previously, when she was around Caleb, Alina was most familiar with the fact that Fabian was an ascetic man.
He was gentle and mild, yet no woman could just go near him.
She did not know that he had such a relationship with Pola.
Pola did not look well.
Alina added, "You've been by Andre for many years."
"Six years." Pola said.
Six years ago, she was almost locked up in a mental institution.
Both of them remembered not-so-good past, just when Alina thought that Pola would not answer anything, Pola said, "When I first met with Andre, I was in the mental hospital."
At those words, Alina's heart trembled.
Not a very good past, it seems.
Pola made herself a cup of black tea and took a sip, Alina asked, "It is hot."
It looked hot, yet Pola just didn't seem to feel it, the moment she lowered her eyes, Alina clearly felt the heartache emanating from her body.
And Pola continued, "I was actually adopted by him."
Fabian?
Alina frowned, remembering at this time that it seemed that she had heard it said before at Caleb that the Williamson family had adopted a girl.
So Pola should have been adopted by Fabian.
"You and Andre met at a mental hospital?"
"Yes."
Alina did not continue to ask.
In the earlier years, the Williamson family was in turmoil because of the succession issue, and the old man of the Williamson family was dictatorial and arbitrary.
The members of the family were basically stuck in the family business, so it was natural for them to fight to the death over that piece of pie.
