After Alina put the child to sleep, Chester's phone call came in, and she flipped it over, and then went to take a shower without paying the slightest attention.
When she got to the bathroom, she called Brandon, who picked up, "Miss Hughes."
"Put a news out." Now, Alina didn't care in the slightest what bad tricks Macy and Annie were holding back.
Brandon, "What's the news?"
Alina, "Just say that the person who tried to kill me on the Hasnan River six months ago said he was instructed by someone and wanted me to pay a sum of money, and he would tell me who that person was."
Brandon was dazed and didn't understand what Alina intended by this, but in an instant, it seemed to make sense again.
Now, apart from the one clue on Caleb, nothing else had been found yet, and Alina seemed, in no way, to care if that person could actually be found.
And by doing this now, she was undoubtedly trying to scare the person behind.
Brandon responded as he understood Alina's intention, "Yes, I will announce it."
Hanging up the phone, a cold light flashed across Alina's eyes.
Having been back for such a long time, she hadn't wanted to make waves in Shirling, but since wave after wave of people had come, she would not show her mercy.
After taking a shower, she came out.
In an instant, Alina felt the unusual aura in the room, turned her head and saw Chester sitting by the bed.
His eyes full of love as he watched the sleeping Penny.
But at this moment Alina felt it so ironic.
Chester heard the movement and looked towards her, his eyes filled with pain.
Ever since Alina came back, everyone, including Chester, has felt that everything was not quite real.
But the fact that she could come back was a joy to him.
"Abby." Seeing her, at this moment, Chester's eyes were clearing up, and he was finally sure that she was still there.
However Alina's face was cold.
"Get lost."
She spatted out in a dry and crisp manner without the slightest hesitation.
Chester froze at her words.
Looking at Alina's face, he couldn't even help but feel tight in his throat.
"Abby." Why on earth had they come to such a point between them now?
Why was there no longer any temperature under her eyes?
Once, no matter what was going on in their world, there was always a hidden intolerance in her eyes when she looked at him.
And when exactly did she start looking him so coldly and heartlessly.
And when Alina heard the word 'Abby', her eyes became colder.
Penny on the bed rolled over and seemed to be about to wake up.
Alina's eyes became more warning at this moment.
Chester did not want to wake up Penny, he knew in his heart what kind of position he had in the child's heart right now.
He turned to Alina, "Shall we talk?"
Subconsciously, he looked outside at the balcony.
If Penny was not there, Alina would have had someone throw him out.
