I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 He Always Favored Her

After all, what was behind that was not something that the already bruised and battered Alina could bear.
But no matter how many there are, Chester will dig them out bit by bit.
...
Although Caleb would still murmur Alina's name when he was asleep, he never said he wanted to see Alina and Penny when he was awake.
Julia looked at him, "What did Chester say to you?"
"Nothing."
Julia gave a strange glance at Caleb.
Before, when Chester and Caleb were opposite each other, they would have a fight, whereas just now there was surprisingly no quarrel.
Is it because Caleb is sick?
But based on Caleb's face at the moment, it was obvious that the conversation just now hadn't had any effect on his mood.
It was only when she thought that Alina was still living with Penny in Waterside Villa, Julia, who had always been neutral about these matters, felt discontent, after all, Caleb is so seriously ill.
Although the kidney source has now been found, the operation is a treacherous one and no one knows what dangers may be encountered during the procedure.
Since Alina is in Ingford, she should more or less bring the child to the hospital.
Even if she disliked Caleb, Penny was his daughter, so how could she do that?
"Caleb, should I go and fetch Penny over?" After thinking about it, Julia was a bit intolerant in the end.
She didn't expect Alina to back down on this matter, but at least, let Caleb be able to see Penny every day before he is discharged from the hospital.
And when talking about Penny, Caleb's eyes, at this moment, could not help but dim.
Wrinkling his eyebrows, he looked seriously at Julia and said, "No need."
Shocked, Julia looked at Caleb.
Not only did he not mention seeing Alina again, but now he did not want to see Penny?
"Caleb?"
"Pour me a glass of water." Caleb did not want to go on.
Seeing that he did not want to talk about it, Julia nodded and got up to go and pour him a glass of water.
Before, she just felt her mother had changed strangely, but now it felt like things have changed strangely between Caleb and Chester as well.
Especially when it comes to Penny, she saw all that scene when Chester took Penny to the playground.
When she handed the glass of water to Caleb, Julia wanted to say something else, but looking at Caleb's indifferent look, she swallowed back the words that came to her lips.
...
Waterside Villa.
In one night, Caleb helped Alina to change the series of Growth, and Alina looked at it with a smile under her eyes.
On the phone, Alina said, "It's not a matter of urgency, why did you finish it staying up late?"
She fell asleep, surprisingly unaware that this man had come to the drawing room in the middle of the night to help her change these.
"How do you like it?" Chester asked softly.
Alina, "Very well."
She always felt there was a repetition somewhere. But her style was probably stereotyped, so when it came to changing it, it always felt weird somewhere.
And after such a change by Chester, Alina instantly felt a sense of breakthrough.
It was not a breakthrough, but at least she found out what its problem was.
"I'll hurry and send this over to Brandon." These were important.
The production of Growth has been delayed for several months.
"Okay." Chester finished dotingly, waiting for her to hang up the phone.
Alina, "You hang up first."
"It's not the manners of a good man to hang up first."
"Tsk." Alina tsked twice and hung up the phone.
Then she made a call to Brandon.
Since her return to Ingford, some of her work interface issues with Brandon have basically been over the phone.
But even so, her career is now flourishing.
Brandon said in the other line, "It has all been adopted by Eglinton Fashion Show, and will be the main push this year."
When Alina was in Fragrant Mountain, she changed direction to design fashion because she didn't want to have anything to do with wedding dresses anymore.
She didn't expect this.
"Adopted all by Eglinton?"
"Yes, the organiser say that it will be used as the main direction for next year's fashion colours and styles, so all those pieces will be used for this year's big fashion show."
Alina was excited.
Little did she know that the drafts she had drawn at random would be adopted by the fashion industry, which has been senior for many years.
"I'll go ahead and send you the entire draft of Growth now, and you can read it." She was more than excited.
After all, some sense of achievement is earned after hard work.
"Okay."
After hanging up, Alina sent the manuscript of Growth to Brandon first, and looked at those manuscripts she had painted in Fragrant Mountain before, to see if there are any changes to be made.
But she knows that fashion shows are all about colour and general style direction, and wedding dresses are a completely different concept.
However, just after hanging up, Andre's call came in.
Alina grabbed the phone while looking at the script, "Andre."
"Alina, come back to Shirling first."
At those words, Alina's heart stuttered.
"What's wrong?"
During this time, whenever the slightest thing happened, the first reaction from Andre was to ask her to go back to Shirling.
What was wrong again?
"You still don't know?" Hearing Alina's bewildered tone, he could not control his emotion.
And hearing the fluctuation in his tone, Alina knew that something must have happened.
"What happened?"
"Watch the news." Andre held his forehead, his head hurting badly.
Pola has arrived at Waterside Villa, and Alina is not usually by her side when she is in the drawing room.
So what is happening now is unknown to Alina.
Hanging up Andre's phone, Alina opened the news page of her mobile phone, and what caught her eyes was Caleb's frail appearance lying on the hospital bed.
There is an accompanying picture of Chester and her embracing each other at the airport when Chester picked her up.
Looking at these two photos, even without looking at the content, Alina knew just how badly they had been written.
Andre called again.
Alina picked up, "I saw it."
"So don't stay in Ingford anymore, there's nothing good over there." On the phone, Andre yelled in outright anger.
