I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571 There are many people who are watching them

It was his mother, after all.

When people were around before, no matter what happened, but the things that Vanessa did were all out in the open.

So at that time, Caleb was supporting Alina, but now it was different.

His mother was gone.

He had to be present at the funeral, no matter how indifferent he was to his mother, and no matter what position he stood for.

"He hates you right now." The man shoved the glass into her hand before sitting down beside her and taking a drink.

To his question, Alina did not respond, but said, "You life was snatched back from the ghost gate by him, want to die?"

It was only red wine, but in the end, Caleb had been operated on, and with another operation on the kidney, it made smoking and alcohol more hurtful.

Alina took a deep breath, and her body was filled with sullen.

The glass of wine in Caleb's hand was jerked away from her and placed on the small table, she asked, "What about you?"

He said Chester hated her, so what about Caleb himself? That's Chester's mother, and Caleb's.

Caleb, "..."

At the sound of her words, the pupils that looked at Alina had a moment of laxity before coming into focus.

Shaking his head, he said, "I'd make the same choice if I were you."

Alina, "..."

At the sound of his voice, her heart snapped.

And then she smiled.

In that smile, there was a touch of bitterness, "It is rare that you have such a realization in the face of such a great event."

She really had no choice at the time.

Caleb looked at the bitterness on the corners of Alina's mouth, pinched her already thin cheeks and said, "Before you did this, you knew it was impossible with him?"

Alina subconsciously avoided it.

Taking a sip of the water, she was silent without saying a word.

She knew it before she did it, and she was so scared at that time that Chester would hate her.

"Why didn't you tell him?" It was about how Vanessa would hurt Andre and Grandpa.

She did all this because she sensed what was behind it, and that's why she struck out at Vanessa in that split second.

If all this had been told to Chester, would things have come to this point?

"Are you clear what kind of a person Edison is?" Alina asked, a suppressed tremble in her tone.

Those who understand that hatred of Edison will know that if he and Vanessa join forces with each other.

Then anything they strike out to do, they are defensible.

And when he heard the person Edison, Caleb looked at Alina and wanted to say something, yet nothing could be said.

After all these years in the Collins family, he didn't even know his grandfather had undergone such a thing.

"He is so ruthless that he can spend so many years to compile such a big intrigue, completely regardless of time, even at any cost." Without waiting for Caleb to speak, Alina said first.

And then, again, she added, "I can't afford to lose."

When she were with Chester, they were defenceless, so now even if Chester is on top of the heap, she still dared not bet on Grandpa and Andre.

Caleb understood what kind of torment Alina had endured during this time, and what kind of pain those were for her.

"I'm sorry." Chester didn't protect her back then when he was around, when Chester had just graduated from college.

Yet for those three years with him, he failed to gain insight into what was happening around her.

In response to Caleb's apologies, Alina appeared indifferent.

She said, "I think your mother would probably have torn me apart if Max hadn't protected me?"
