"This matter is rather complicated." Andre said as he looked at Alina gruffly.
Alina, "Is it related to the death of my parents and grandmother?"
Other than that, how complicated the involvement really was, she didn't care.
She just needs to know if there is a direct connection between Edison and what happened to her parents and grandmother.
Knightly, "Not a direct person."
Looking at the pain in Alina's eyes, Andre still had intolerance in the end. She had been suffering from this since she returned to Ingford.
It's time, it's over.
Andre knew that continuing to pursue the matter would only make Alina suffer more.
"What's that like?" Andre couldn't bear to tell Alina, yet Alina, as long as it was something that concerned her parents and her grandmother, had to find out.
Although it was painful for her to be in this situation, she could not back down from this matter.
Andre, "It's all because of his calculations against the Collins family and his revenge against your grandmother."
Alina, "Revenge?"
"Yes."
Andre nodded.
"Why did he want to take revenge on my grandmother?" At this moment, Alina's tone was already unstable.
Andre looked at her already somewhat suppressed emotions and was more than uncomfortable.
He said, "The day his mother took him to beg your grandmother, he almost lost his life. Later on his mother tried to save him..."
The latter words, surprisingly, had not finished, until now Andre did not know how to separate from Declan.
They talked a lot, and the more they talked about, the more Andre understood exactly what karma was.
Andre took a grave look at Alina, and continue to tell her all the things he leant from Declan.
What was said was probably all the same reason why Edison hated her grandmother and Max so much.
And the more she heard, the more shocked Alina's eyes were, and even her face couldn't help but turn whiter.
Edison, as the illegitimate son that Max would not recognise, had a hard life in his childhood and he had a congenital disease.
His mother borrowed from all her relatives for him, even doing the hardest and dirtiest work, and took him to Max because she really had no choice.
But Max, faced with this son, was not half happy, even to the point of being cold-blooded.
And because of this cold-bloodedness, Edison's mother eventually died from the strain of saving him. He was only ten years old.
He went through a lot more to survive, and the seeds of hatred were planted in his childhood.
Andre, "That's probably what happened, the so-called root cause of that fire back then was just Edison's calculation, and Vanessa was innocently implicated in it."
Alina woodenly looked at Andre.
At the moment, she can barely hear the sound anymore.
Her world had gone blank.
Not only Vanessa is innocent, as if everyone involved in it are innocent.
"So, Max knows that everything is about him, right?"
All these years, Max had never let anyone check it out, and it was impossible for him to be that perceptive and not feel it.
Andre, "I think it was only at a later stage that he found out about it, they even met before Max died."
"..."
"He passed away shortly after." Andre said in a heavy tone.
Alina, "So, Max knew all about it, did he?"
Andre was silent.
