I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490 Feels like things aren't so simple

When Andre had said earlier that both Ronan and Tomas were preventing him from investigating further, Alina had sensed that something was not right.
And now with this ragged breath from Andre, even if he didn't go on, Alina probably knew that something was really wrong.
Over the years she has experienced much.
But she fails to perceive that there is something deeper behind this.
But now she felt it.
Andre took a deep breath, "No. What I found out is not related to you."
"Really?" Alina didn't quite believe it.
Andre, "Since when do you not even trust me?"
His tone was tinged with reproach.
This made it impossible for Alina to continue asking.
Alina, "I naturally trust you, but this time when I came back to Ingford, I feel that things are not so simple."
Her intuition is very strong, the matter must be related to her.
She feels it .
"I checked, nothing is wrong, be well by Chester."
"He's treating Penny strangely." Alina said sharply.
This was the main reason for her suspicion.
The other changes were negligible, but what about for Penny? It was clearly agreed before that they would send Penny back to Shirling, but now Penny stayed.
And he didn't give a valid reason, just that he wanted the three of them to live together.
And when it came to Penny, Andre had an even bigger headache. Earlier, they have not thought that there was such a complicated piece of work behind it.
"He loves you so much, naturally he will love Penny, don't think too much about it, okay?"
Is it just that she is overthinking? Alina did not feel that it was overthinking.
She hang up the phone from Andre with a frown.
Instead of being relieved by Andre's words, she felt even Andre was deliberately hiding something from her.
And this concealment is clearly linked to her.
...
Macy and Vanessa sat together by the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Not far away, in a glass house, the painting girl looked so beautiful in a long white dress.
Noticing Vanessa's gaze, Macy lifted the coffee in front of her and asked with a smile on her lips, "What do you think of my sister, Mrs. Collins?"
"That's your sister?"
"Yes, her name is Annie, and from her look, she fits the criteria for your daughter-in-law, doesn't she?"
Vanessa looked at Macy with sharper eyes, without saying a word, but with an innate intimidating pressure.
Macy did not care in the slightest, stirring the coffee in her hand, she said, "I am grateful to Master Caleb for saving Annie, and for him to deteriorate so drastically, I think you are well aware that it has to do with Miss Hughes."
"..."
"Other than that, she is the wife of Master Caleb, if it is true that she is with Master Chester, even if public opinion does not put you in a bad light, but in this high society, the Collins family's reputation..."
The latter words were not continued by Macy, but the meaning was probably known.
Before, Chester suffered so much for Alina, plus all those years Caleb didn't cherish when he was with Alina.
So naturally, she was on Alina, and now that Macy was talking about it, it was not as simple as she thought.
"What are you trying to say?" Vanessa's tone sharpened.
Just thinking about Caleb using his kidney to save this woman's sister because of Alina made her body unconsciously emit hostility.
Macy laughed, "Master Caleb only likes Miss Hughes, and my sister, Annie, was saved by your Collins family, and her life is all yours."
Vanessa's face was slightly better at the moment when she heard such polite words from Macy.
Macy continued, "When she was sixteen, she once had a chance encounter with Master Chester, she has remembered him for so many years, I hope you can fulfill her."
Looking at Vanessa's improved face, Macy said.
And Vanessa's face, which had originally improved, suddenly sank once again when she heard these words.
Macy is good at attacking the heart.
She can tell exactly what Vanessa is thinking from her face, and without waiting for Vanessa's angry scolding, she added.
"You are a mother and naturally wants Master Chester and Master Caleb to spend the rest of their lives either with the one they love or with the one who loves them, don't you?"
For a moment, Vanessa's heart was clogged.
Before, when Caleb hurt Alina, she once thought that Caleb loved Emma.
But when the matter of Emma came to light, it was only that she realized that all his thoughts for so many years had been on Alina.
At first, because it felt unloved.
So she thought it would be good for the two of them to separate.
But now, knowing his heart for Alina, how could she bear to break them up?
As for Chester, she was heartbroken too. But when she thought of Alina and Caleb even having Penny, invariably, her heart was biased towards Macy's argument.
...
Chester and Penny had fun at the playground and didn't come back until noon when Alina called to ask if the two would be back for dinner.
However, Chester instructed gently over the phone that he was taking Penny to eat fried chicken with him, leaving her to eat on her.
The gentle tone was like that of a husband who is giving an account of his journey to his wife.
"Okay."
When she hung up the phone, Alina's heart was as chaotic as a cat scratching. Just as she was sitting at the dining table, Vanessa came.
For so many years, Vanessa had always been over at Collins Castle, hardly ever visiting Werland Villa and Waterside Villa, yet today, surprisingly, she came.
Alina's face sank.
Vanessa looked at her face and took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, and looked at the table, all of which Alina loved to eat.
"Now, how on earth did you manage to be together in such peace of mind?" Vanessa's tone was somewhat gloomy and sharp.
Caleb was still in hospital, yet Alina had surprisingly, taken Penny to stay at Waterside Villa.
Alina didn't look at Vanessa and sat at the dining table, saying, "What, because he's sick, your previous decision changed?"
There was some sarcasm in her tone.
And such sarcasm made Vanessa's face turn white at this moment.
She supported her and Chester together against all odds, today's Macy is a reminder of herself.
Even if public opinion is okay with it, their Collins family has actually made a lot of jokes in high society during this time.
