Finally, Penny was taken away and amidst the chaos, Annie grabbed Chester's clothes, "Chester, today is your mother's funeral, everyone is watching."
With one sentence, all were brought to their senses.
Chester looked at Alina with hostile eyes and finally let go of her, and the moment Alina got free.
The moment she got free, Alina was thrown to the ground, but Caleb was quick to help her.
And the way he held Alina's shoulders made the aura of danger flow more and more intensely.
"You go back first." Caleb said as he looked at Alina.
Alina looked at Caleb, and as soon as she did, she shook him off and came up to Chester and looked into his eyes.
She said, "Tell Lucas to bring me the child."
The thought of Penny kneeling with him just now, even more so, turned up shocking waves in Alina's heart.
A funeral for Penny to kneel for Vanessa?
He made Penny kneel with him every day? Then what were the three lives of the Hughes family?
Chester looked at Alina, anger flickering under his eyes, "Never."
It seemed to come out through clenched teeth.
He was forceful and did not budge in any way.
Caleb watched the sabre-rattling between the two and stepped forward to try to pull Alina away, he had clearly sensed the coldness on Chester.
"I must take Penny away today." Chester's attitude was strong, and Alina's attitude was equally strong.
The two faced each other.
Chester looked at her with a scarlet gaze.
Annie sensed his anger, she was standing right behind Chester, and at the moment looked triumphantly at Alina.
And then the seemingly relieving words were the ones that pushed the danger between the two even further to the freezing point.
Annie said, "Miss Hughes, you and Chester should wait until after your mother's funeral, there are so many people here now, you're making it hard for the funeral to go on."
"You and your mother had such a good time when she was alive, so why make such a scene when she's in the ground?"
The scene was instantly silent.
Chester's gaze was already scarlet when he looked at Alina.
Alina looked at Annie, narrowing her eyes.
And Caleb obviously sensed the increasingly anger from Chester, just as the scene became even more unmanageable, ruthlessly, he grabbed Alina's arm and dragged her straight out the door, "Go back first."
"Let go of me."
"Alina!" Caleb's tone was heavier.
Whoever was present could see that there was no way Chester would let her take the child away today.
Making a scene like this will only make things more untenable between them.
Yet Alina, however, was already going crazy, "Master Caleb."
Is this the name she gives him now? So strange, and so distant.
His heart, for a moment, choked, and then his eyes were filled with an unconcealed sourness.
"Go." It was only half an instant before Caleb collected himself, clearly now was not the time to care about this.
Watching Alina being so sabre rattling at the funeral, Caleb knew that next she and everyone in the Collins family would be standing on opposite sides of the divide.
But he didn't care.
In the end, Alina was forcibly taken away by Caleb, Pola looked at Fabian with a deep gaze.
And then without looking back, he followed the direction of Alina in pursuit.
