"I have something to do, bye." For Emma on the other side of the phone, pretending to call like a mistress, Caleb simply hung up.
Alina gave a smile.
"Very funny?"
Looking at Alina's smile, Caleb was very uncomfortable, the more she was like this, the more Caleb felt that he existed like a joke.
He's been a joke all this time, hasn't he?
This woman must be pleased with herself, right?
Alina, "Do you think, at this moment, Emma looks like the me three years ago?"
The man's face sank.
And the smile on Alina's face was even more sarcastic.
"Three years ago, every time I called you, you were by her side telling me you were busy. Remember what I called you about?"
At the time, Caleb may never have cared, but at least for now, it's clear.
Since her marriage, Alina has been a well-behaved and understanding woman, but even as well-behaved and understanding as she can be, whens she was pregnant, she wanted her husband to love and care for her.
She called him, but only to ask him to accompany her to the maternity check-up.
"At first when my pregnancy reaction was at its worst, you didn't go once, but later you were uncharacteristically nice to me."
"But that's for Emma's health, do you think it's funny or not?"
Caleb's face froze, when he heard Alina’s question.
At the moment, she said it as a joke.
However, it is a constant reminder to Caleb of how cruel he really was once.
How cruel Caleb was at that time, leaving Alina alone in that situation.
"Probably the cruelest thing in this world is the reckoning of your partner, isn't it?"
How many people can bear the reckoning of his partner? And Alina was the one who endured it all under those circumstances.
Now, she is saying it with such ease.
"So, am I overdoing it by playing you?"
Caleb's thoughts were frozen for an instant.
"And between you and Andre..."
Not waiting for Caleb to finish his words, Alina's phone vibrated.
Caleb clearly saw that Chester is calling
Although there was no conjugal relationship with Andre, how close did she and Chester get to each other during this time.
Alina picked up the phone, "Chester."
When picking up Chester's phone, she was so gentle.
Caleb clenched his hands into fists, holding back his anger.
It was not known what was said on the other side of the phone, and the smile on Alina's face was more gentle at the moment.
Alina hung up the phone.
The moment Alina looked at Caleb, there was even more frost under her eyes, she said icily, "Since the result is out, within three days, what is mine will be transferred to my name."
"......"
He knew that Alina was Zane's granddaughter, but more than that, he didn't know.
It had never occurred to him to get to know Alina properly for the past few years since she had returned to Ingford.
But now...
"Luna's son?"
"Yes."
"......"
"The son of Zane's stepdaughter."
In other words, it's family. Luna and her husband have been out of the house all these years, and very little has been said about the relationship between Luna's mother, Megan and Zane.
It has to be said that from the fact that Andre protects Alina, this combined family of theirs is a rare harmonious combination.
Usually when families are combined together, there is a lot of internal strife and selfishness.
"Megan has always been very nice to Lady Alina. Ever since Lady Alina went back to that house, everyone in that house has been very nice to her."
"Moreover, Zane gave Lady Alina half of the shares of VIG."
VIG is a big firm in Shirling.
Yet it hasn't caused much of a stir in Shirling yet, and everyone in the Lawson family really does spoil her.
Zame's guilt, especially for her mother and grandmother, will probably be made up for in Alina in this way.
To put it this way, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Alina is now rich.
Besides, she now occupies such a large position in the fashion world.
