Yet now.
"Abby, this matter maybe...", "Maybe what?" Chester hadn't finished his words when he was interrupted by Alina.
Under her eyes, there was a hidden anger.
As she said, the last thing she wanted to do was to hurt Chester, even if things had come to this point, she did not want to hurt Chester.
She didn't want to, but what about people other than him? Looking at him now forcibly trying to defend Vanessa, her heart was stabbed hard.
"She admitted it herself."
If Vanessa has not admitted to everything, then it is perhaps possible that everything could be overturned.
But not any more.
Chester's pupils tightened as he looked at her, "What did you say?"
Tears slid fiercely down Alina's eyes, "Should you ask her yourself?"
"Abby."
Chester took two steps forward.
Yet Alina was subconsciously backing away.
For the first time, it was so difficult and frightening for him, and looking at Alina, whose face was covered in tears, he did not even have the courage to go forward.
"Go." Alina could see Chester's retreat.
She knew that this public confrontation with Vanessa would definitely make Chester leave her, but even so, she did not regret it.
And she didn't dare regret it.
Chester, "Abby!"
"All those years, I always thought she disliked Emma, so she never agreed to her being with Caleb, what a big drama."
Was it a scene with Emma, or was Vanessa too deep, even allowing Emma to be used?
Emma had not said anything about Vanessa even to the time of her 'death'.
This is not only a one-woman show for Vanessa, but enough to illustrate the depth of this woman.
Dense sweat had broken out on Chester's spine.
"Abby." He feebly called her name, wanting to say something, yet nothing could be said at this moment.
And Alina didn't want to hear anything at this point in time.
Turning around, she said "Go away."
"There may be a hidden agenda in this matter." Chester said in a tight tone as he looked at her back.
Alina, "..."
Even at this point in time, Chester was not willing to believe that this matter was related to Vanessa.
Even if this was something he had noticed before, something he had first become suspicious of, even now the evidence he now had in his hands was in fact confirming the suspicions in his mind bit by bit.
But because it didn't come down to the wire, Chester preferred to believe in unexpected outcomes, before things came out completely.
Not until the last minute, he preferred there was something else hidden.
"Chester!" Alina's tone heaved, stopping Chester from continuing.
And it was Chester's words that, in Alina's opinion, confirmed his defense towards Vanessa.
She was unwilling to hurt him, and every word he defended against Vanessa in front of her was a sword-like injury to her.
"For now, don't go on, okay?" Chester finally couldn't resist stepping forward and embracing Alina into his arms.
They all knew very well that if this was the way things were now found out, they will have no way out.
There is no way out for Alina, and there must be no way out for Chester either.
