Vanessa was shocked for a moment when she learned that Emma had been taken away by the police, obviously not expecting things to turn out so quickly.
Julia said, "Caleb is in a mess this time."
"......"
"With this meddling of his in the matter of Brodie, coupled with the previous contact between Emma and Brodie at any time, it would be hard to say that this has nothing to do with what happened back then."
"Alina is smart, when Caleb lay hands on Brodie, she immediately grabbed the handle." Vanessa said.
Julia nodded, "Yes, Alina is smart."
Previously, the contact between Emma and Brodie had been covert. They knew it was being made, but they didn't know what the contact was about.
So even if the police were called, they couldn't even find a suitable reason to do so.
But this time it's different.
Brodie came to Ingford, Caleb intervened, and even moved Brodie.
Then on those connections between Emma and Brodie before, Alina seemed to have found a reason.
So much so that these are all bound to be turned over as well.
Even though there will be deviations, the people involved in this will surely suffer.
"Julia." Vanessa looked at Julia, her eyes full of pain and pity.
Julia was stunned by the sudden look in Vanessa's eyes, "What's wrong, mother?"
"In future, when you love someone, you should open your eyes. Alina was once a naive woman."
Being the only daughter of the Hughes family, Alina got love and attention.
In fact, marrying Caleb was already an aggravation to her.
And yet her husband, who was so heavily involved in her own life, turned it upside down.
"Yeah, back then, Alina smiled like an angel, and now all the smiles on her face are probably just an expression, right?"
As she thought this, Emma felt badly inside.
A gloom flashed under Vanessa’s eyes.
She said, "There's no telling how this next mess with Caleb will go."
This is the most worrying part.
They could see clearly how Caleb protected Emma before, but what about now?
Now, now that this has happened, how is Caleb going to make a scene with Alina?
Three years ago, for Emma, as Alina said, his child could still be ignored.
The thought of this makes it all the more worrying.
"Okay , Chester won't let Caleb hurt Alina."
It sounds even more ironic.
She is clearly Caleb's wife, yet now she is being protected by Chester.
The good thing is that their relationship is over and no one on the outside is saying anything about the relationship.
This, presumably, is where Alina's cleverness lies.
Thinking about that passing she made at the big show in Eglinton.
But really, in that instant, it had the support of everyone, and even at one point, all public opinion was directed towards Emma.
