Alina pushed the remaining cigarette butt into the ashtray.
She uttered, "You probably don't know too well how deep the grudge between them really is."
It referred to that Chester and the Shaw family were rivals.
But they didn't know how deep the grudge was, so Caleb was tense as he listened to Alina's calm and careless words.
"Alina!"
"Because of him, Lincol almost took my life." At this moment, Alina was so lighthearted when she spoke these words.
Yet no one knew how she had survived by Lincol during these six months.
Now all people thought that Lincol would not let go of her, yet no one knew how terrifying that man was.
It was during that six-month-long period that Alina saw very clearly Lincol's increased hatred for Chester.
When she was on Isha Island, she was alone.
Now, it was different.
"Alina." Caleb moved his lips, wanting to say something.
However, after listening to Alina's light-hearted tone, he knew that a lot of untold things must have happened behind this.
At least all this that Lincol was showing now was definitely not as simple as they saw.
Once upon a time, he hurt Alina.
And when Alina was talking about it, she made such an understatement, and the more she looked like this, the more it meant that things were not simple.
More than that, it meant that under that veil, no one knew what had happened to her.
"What did he do to you?" At the time of asking this question, Caleb only felt suffocated.
And right now as he asked this question, Alina laughed, as if she was laughing at his childishness and naivety.
Yet was Caleb's world pure and naive?
But the fact that Alina had such a laugh now showed that everything in these six months was not as simple as they thought.
"When your brother was in Ingford, if it wasn't for Annie, he could have died, do you know that?"
At this, Caleb frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Caleb did not understand.
And Alina was serious at this moment, especially her eyes went cold.
She muttered, "I did it."
Caleb felt his mind collapsed at this moment.
Even though he had seen all kinds of scenes and his thinking had always been quick, at this moment when he heard Alina's words, surprisingly, he lost in his thought for a long time.
"What did you say?" At this moment when he opened his mouth again, Caleb could barely hear his own voice.
He couldn't believe it.
What was the once Alina like? After knowing the truth, there was a blood feud against the entire Collins family.
Yet even under those circumstances, she hadn't touched Chester.
Alina lit up a cigarette again.
However, before she could smoke it, it was taken away from her hand by Caleb, "Alina!"
"You don't believe that, do you? But that is the truth."
"Why?" Caleb asked with a tight tone.
Alina looked at Caleb, "Why?"
