I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 You know cruelty too?

Alina was going back to Shirling with Andre. Before she left, she met with Joanna. In the cafe, Joanna looked at Alina carefully.

"What are you looking at?" Alina put down the coffee cup in her hand.

It's all nobility in her movement.

Joanna, "You look good."

Much better than she was at Fragrant Mountain.

Alina, "I used to have dependency with my parents and my grandmother around. Now it's not the same."

When there was nothing to fall back on, she had to be strong.

"Don't you have the Lawson family behind you now?"

"Grandpa is getting old." Alina sighed.

It was at this point that Joanna realised that she had worked so hard to lick her wounds during those three months in Fragrant Mountain.

And even now, her heart was still suffering untold pain.

Heaven, after all, was cruel to her.

What a fate this was for her? There had been such a painful encounter, and yet behind this, there was so much more.

Joanna, "Don't be too hard on yourself."

"Okay."

"My assistant said Chester gas gone back to Ingford."

When Alina heard that Chester had gone back to Ingford, her hand paused.

Joanna could tell that no matter how delicate her relationship with the Collins family really is now, Chester will probably be a soft spot in her heart.

After all, after all these years, she now has to face the turmoil of this relationship again, and she will have to be a hundred times stronger than she was in order to pull through.

It's a good thing that Chester is now past his youthful years and has power enough to protect her.

"From what I can see now, I can tell that Mrs. Collins is the demon behind it, so you should be more careful of her." Joanna reminded her.

What kind of movie queens have they seen over the years?

But after decades of burying her face, it's a shame that movie queen award didn't go to Mrs. Collins.

Alina, "I know."

It's natural to be on guard.

Joanna, "She's trying to set up Macy's sister Annie and Master Chester together, but she doesn't really like Annie."

So there are even more questions behind this.

Alina, "Who would she like?"

How could a woman like that possibly like another woman? She thought she was the best in the whole world.

Joanna, "You're sober."

"I've always been sober."

It just has a different sobriety at a different time.

When Caleb hurts her, she will fight back, and when Emma fails the Hughes family, she will fight back.

Only now, with this sobriety, she hurts even more.

...

Chester has returned to Ingford.

Vanessa was in the atrium, exuding elegance and grace, and Annie was refreshingly elegant in pouring her tea.

But she is younger than Alina, so even if she can't wear that mature charm, she still has an absolute youthful beauty.

Especially now, it was said by Chester's expressionless face, which made Annie feel intensely humiliated.

Vanessa did not expect Chester to be so unemotional.

With a bad face, she put down the tea in her hand and said, "You can go back."

Annie, "..."

Didn't they say that they were going to have lunch with Chester? But looking at the coldness and strangeness under Vanessa's eyes than just now, Annie did not dare to stay much longer and got up, nodding respectfully, "I will go back first."

Vanessa didn't say anything, and it was only after Annie left that she got up and went up to the study to find Chester.

This was the first time since Caleb's accident that the two of them had been together in such a patient way.

After Chester went to Eglinton, Vanessa thought a lot about it.

Being tough with Chester now would only make his heart lean more towards Alina.

And the more his heart is on Alina, the worse it will be for her.

So now, she has softened her attitude slightly.

"That's still a child, and you were just too cruel to her."

"Cruel?" Chester lit a cigarette, and although his tone was careless, it made Vanessa's eyebrows knitted.

"What do you mean?" Her tone of voice, already somewhat bad, sounded with the usual scolding.

At the moment, Chester's eyes are all sharp and cold.

Looking at Vanessa, he asked straightforwardly, "Three days before Abby's accident, why did you meet with Frederick?"

Vanessa's mind, in this instant, went blank.
