The memory of that night is a memory that neither of them wants to recall, and no one brings it up again.
Emma looked at the anger in the man's eyes and, in the end, did not dare to say more.
Having been with Caleb for several years, she knows this man well, and the more she says at this point, the more angry he will get.
And in his rage, not only will she not get what she wants, but she will lose a lot.
She is not a fool and knows that there are things to do and things not to do, and she has to stand higher than Alina on this trip to Oklens.
Oklens, the international design capital, from which many of the world's top awards are given out, Alina and the others were picked up by car and taken to their hotel as soon as they arrived.
In the hotel, Alina received a call from Andre, and the man on the other side of the phone was kind of gentle, "How's it going? Tired?"
"I am okay, are you in Shirling now?"
"In Shirling, Penny and I are together."
She misses Penny so much.
But every time she traveled, she didn't dare to listen to Penny's voice, because it would make her drop everything and run back to hold her in her arms.
"Want to talk to her?"
"No."
"Mommy." Penny's voice came on the other side of the phone.
"Penny, I miss you."
"When are you coming back?" Penny has a nice voice.
"Mommy will go back in a week, wait for Mommy, okay?"
"Okay, come back to me as a bridesmaid, will you"
Alina, "What bridesmaid?" Gee, kids nowadays really know everything.
"Playing the bride and groom game with Rhys." Penny was very patient in explaining.
Alina smiled.
Although, her marriage was ruined in a mess, but she hopes Penny can be happy.
But she is also very clear, marriage can but protected by outsiders.
Putting away her heartache, she said in a gentle tone to the other side of the phone, "Okay, then how about you help mommy prepare the bridesmaid's dresses?"
"Okay."
Penny was even happier when Alina said yes.
Hanging up the phone, the door to the room was thrown open and Julia came in with a smile on her face, jumping on Alina's bed at once in her pajamas.
"Be careful."
"Alina."
"Yeah?"
"I envy you so much."
"Envy me for what?"
As for herself, Alina feels that she has nothing to show for it except Penny, who is worthy of envy.
No matter what kind of desperate situation she was in, but she always thought Penny was an angel sent by God to comfort her.
Caleb will definitely accompany Emma, so when the time comes, she will certainly beat Emma to cripple, right? Although she hated Emma, she didn't agree with Mrs. Collins' way of beating people, but she was happy to see Emma being beaten by Mrs. Collins.
"I know what you're worried about, Alina,but my mom is doing it on purpose."
Knowing that Mrs. Collins did it on purpose, Alina didn't know what to say at this point.
She is intentional, it is hard to imagine Vanessa, a elegant noble lady, intentionally screw Emma up.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Julia continued, "You don't know how cruel she was at that time, she directly destroyed Emma's face."
Alina froze again, Emma's face still had scar on it.
"Did Mrs. Collins do it herself?"
"Yes."
Alina was really shocked that Vanessa would do such a thing. She knew that Vanessa had always been a fierce person, but never thought that she would personally ruin Emma’s face.
"Then your brother is going to be heartbroken, right?" Alina asked.
"I don't know, but at that time my mother destroyed Emma's face and cut off the relationship with him straight away."
"Things went so badly?"
"Yeah, Grandpa already didn't want to recognize him when you fell into Hasnan three years ago." At the beginning it was unacceptable for Julia, but now that time has passed, it doesn't matter anymore.
In particular, Caleb has been involved with Emma, which makes the Collins despise him even more.
Alina and Julia are in the room talking, while on the other side of the room, Stella's face is grim at the moment.
She said, "I've recorded what you just said, and I'll tell you my answer after the Oklens competition."
