"And..." Alina paused in her tone, listening to the already increasingly ragged breathing on the other side of the phone.
Even her own breathing couldn't help but get heavier.
She took a deep breath and continued, "When you did those things to my grandmother and my parents back then, you weren't cruel?"
Anyone could say that Alina was cruel to Emma, but not Emma herself.
And Emma, after hearing Alina say such words, froze
In an instant, she reacted, "What are you babbling about?"
"......"
"Don't you slander me, Caleb has already investigated it for you, there is nothing I can do if you don't believe it."
Emma shouted angrily over the phone.
"Slander?"
The anger in Alina's eyes was even more blazing in this instant.
Emma was denying it.
But even if she did or didn't admit it, she couldn't deny it.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn’t do it."
Previously, when encountering such things, Alina rarely talked nonsense to her at all, but just hit Emma.
But now, she was questioning Emma so bluntly, no one knew what Emma was feeling inside when she was confronted with this questioning at this moment.
"You can deny it, don't worry, whether it's a slander or not, someone will naturally go and find out the truth."
"Alina..."
"Who has threatened you recently?"
Not waiting for Emma to finish, Alina uttered.
After hearing these words, Emma was nervous.
How could she know?
No, or was Alina actually testing her? Alina must have been testing her.
The connection between Brodie and her had been very secretive all this time, even Kara didn't know about it.
So, there was no way that Alina could have known about it.
"No one is threatening me, you should stop testing me, I told you, I didn't do those things."
Emma took effort to suppress the stuffy weight in her heart.
But her voice was trembling, which betrayed the emotions in her heart.
How sharp had Alina's tactics been this time?
In fact, it was entirely possible that Alina knew it. At this, Emma had now become even more broken.
"Oh, is that so?" Alina's light laugh was so sarcastic.
And Emma clenched her fist to death, trying hard to restrain the trembling in her body.
"Yes."
At this moment, how firmly that word was said.
How weak her heart was.
Hang up the phone, Emma was trembling, limp in her wheelchair, her eyes without any focus.
"Alina!"
She couldn't know the truth.
And yet whether she admitted it now or not, Emma was in edge of breaking down.
Lois made her some porridge.
"Have something to eat."
At this time, she wanted to retain the last of her dignity.
She wanted to keep the last of her dignity.
Lois looked at Emma worriedly, "But now this situation..."
Obviously, if things were allowed to go on like this, no one knew what would happen next.
And Emma now really can endure it?
How harsh all this was to her.
"Don't go."
Still, those were the words.
At this moment, no matter what Lois said, Emma did not allow Lois to go forward and beg Alina, as long as the thought of asking Alina, she would think of the time when she went to Eglinton.
At that time, she was pushed to the brink, and Brodie was pressing hard, so she had no choice but to beg Alina.
But what kind of attitude did Alina have at that time? It was completely the attitude of hating to beat her into the abyss.
With such an attitude, no matter what was happening in her world, she would not go to Alina.
Lois finally managed to sigh.
Wanting to say something, she didn't know what to say.
What happened before and what happened now combined together, which was right and which was wrong, as long as one was a sensible person, they all knew what it was like.
But as long as she thought of Emma who had suffered so much, and now her dream was completely shattered, Lois felt upset.
......
In the evening, as Alina had just finished washing up, she received a call from Lois.
"Miss Hughes, let's meet tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Alina instantly frowned.
