For a long, long time, Alina just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the bitterness on the corners of her mouth was getting thicker and thicker.
Finally, trembling, she said, "Just who did our Hughes family offend so badly?"
Ruthlessly, he went out of his way to lay such a big trap behind her back, putting her in between the two Collins brothers and making her suffer.
Even now Alina is thinking that the meeting between her and Chester, falling in love was set up by the person behind the scenes a long time ago.
Declan, "This matter still has to be investigated, after all, it is still unknown who actually touched the freezer of Master Chester."
"..."
"So whether the person behind this is coming for you or for the Collins family is yet to be seen."
The person who most hurt by this when it came out was her.
Alina's face grew whiter and whiter, and the sharp storm under her eyes exploded at this moment.
"But no matter who it's aimed at, this has something to do with Mrs. Collins, does it?"
"That's true. But the person Mrs. Collins contacted is not the real person behind it."
"You mean that the person Mrs. Collins contacted has a boss?"
"Yes."
But no matter who it was, the incident had something to do with Vanessa.
"The person that Mrs. Collins had hired back then was someone under Frederick's hand, she just didn't expect that Master Caleb..."
This is where Vanessa miscalculated.
Hearing this, a flash of danger flashed under Alina's eyes. Why on earth had Vanessa colluded with the people behind it to make such a big trap for her?
Vanessa hated her and wanted to drive her to madness and death. But she didn't expect to get Caleb involved, thus dragging the Collins family down with her.
Just now, as Declan said, back then Vanessa just wanted to make Alina disappear, but what about the person behind her?
Did she herself really see ir clearly?
"What about my parents' death?" Alina closed her eyes.
It was the secret behind Vanessa that made her feel what it means to have a truly sinister heart.
No matter how much Vanessa had actually set her up, she hoped that her parents' death had nothing to do with her.
Declan, "Now all these things still have to be checked."
It's just that even Declan didn't expect such a big thing to turn up.
How much more is behind this?
Alina, "Please."
"You're welcome." Declan got up.
Alina was calmer than expected, probably because she was originally suspicious before, so when the matter was laid out in front of her, she was prepared.
But even as she endured everything, deep inside her heart there was a tumble that made no one see.
Declan was on his way out.
The moment he pulled open the door, he saw Chester standing in the doorway full of coldness.
Declan frowned and walked past Chester, with more or less sympathy and pity in his eyes at that moment.
The moment Alina saw Chester, her heart was suffering from the storm.
Chester stepped forward and gripped her shoulders with both hands, "What did he say to you?"
