Dakota's face instantly sank.
She had always been loyal to Sienna, and if she did right or wrong, she could not allow anyone to say a word against her.
Now that Caleb was undoubtedly referring to the entire Ajax family.
"Mr. Collins, please be careful with your words." Her tone, at the moment, was more serious.
A gloomy look flashed under Caleb's eyes, "If you want to leave from E City alive, please disappear within an hour."
Dakota's face changed dramatically when she heard that.
At the same time there was an undisguised hostility glinting in their eyes as they locked eyes and just faced each other.
The corners of Dakota's lips pursed with ice coldness, "So, Mr. Collins, you are not going to give Lady Melody to me?"
"Sienna seems to have forgotten that Alina is not only her sister, but now she is my sister-in-law."
"..."
"Even if my elder brother is no longer around, she is still a member of my Collins family. What? She wants to openly take away my people? Does she have our Collins family in her eyes?"
The tone of Caleb's voice was all about hostility.
The word sister-in-law was uttered so naturally.
It was evident that now in his heart, he gave absolute certainty to Alina's identity.
Dakota did not expect Caleb to be so sure of Alina's relationship, even if they were no longer together.
Even in this capacity now, he still protected Alina.
Dakota's attitude remained insistent, but Lottie followed her in and whispered something in her ear, and Dakota's face changed even more.
"So we go first?"
Lottie nodded.
And then, Dakota looked at Caleb and without saying anything else, she simply left.
Although Caleb did not hear exactly what Lottie was saying in Dakota's ear just now, he did hear that it was about the Ajax family.
With such an attitude from Caleb today, it was absolutely impossible for them to take Alina away, and this was E City.
If they were to go at it hard, they would have no chance of winning.
When Caleb went upstairs, Alina was already sleeping, looking at her curled up in bed like ball, Caleb felt his heart was aching.
"What a kitten." She's been given good food and drink all this time and she's still so skinny.
It seems like she used to be this skinny around him and he wondered where her weight had gone after eating so much every day.
Sitting on the edge of Alina's bed, he watched her sleeping so quietly and lovingly.
Caleb's heart ached more and more.
Why do those people just won't leave her alone? And Sienna is her sister in this world.
Previously, he thought that recognising Paisley to go back to the Ajax family was a protection for Alina, but now when the Ajax family is encountering heavy blows, Sienna will still think of using Alina.
The only sister she had was not thinking of how to protect her, but rather an instinctive trade-off when it came to bad situations.
Before, between Paisley and Alina, it was Paisley that she gave up.
Now, she abandoned Alina.
Caleb took a sigh, with helpless determination.
Caleb's mind was now made up.
No matter what Chester was doing now, no one, however, should try to take Alina away from him.
Those who wanted to involve her in the whirlwind would have to ask him if he would agree to it.
...
The next morning.
When Caleb returned from a meeting at the office, it was already ten in the morning. And he saw Alina coming downstairs with messy hair.
His face darkened as he noted that she wore her nightgown unchanged.
"Is that how you take care of her?"
