At Libby looked like a mad dog, the laugh mixed with mockery under Stella's eyes intensified.
That condescending was like a queen looking askance at Libby, now Stella's one glance can make Libby humiliated enough.
When had she ever been so aggrieved? When had she ever looked up to Stella when she was in the Willis family?
"Stella, you will go to hell." Libby said fiercely.
Stella, "I haven't done anything wrong, and I believe that God will not be so blind."
Stella does not take Libby's abuse seriously, and it is this kind of her that makes Libby break down and go crazy again.
But even so, what can be done?
Right now, there was nothing she could do to Stella.
...
In Ingford, chaos was beyond compare.
After Stella send out that message, Alina went back to the Lawson's. It was a weekend, Penny didn't go to school.
Seeing her, the child ran to her like a happy bird, "Mummy, you're finally back."
Penny hugged Alina's neck, she was so fond of Alina.
And Alina likes her.
"You're here, so I have to come back." Holding the child's head dotingly down on her shoulder, her heart, at that moment, seemed to be comforted.
Penny, "Mummy, what's wrong with you?"
Even though Penny did not see Alina's face now, the sensitive child still seemed to feel her emotions.
And Alina was originally extremely well concealed.
At the sound of the child's words, she felt a complete collapse.
The child stiffened up and tried to stand up to look at Alina's face, but was once again pushed down by Alina.
"Let Mummy hug you for a while." She did not want the child to see such a vicissitudes of loss in herself.
Penny, "Mummy."
The soft voice, even without any comforting words, gives a strong sense of healing.
Alina's strength in holding the child was thus heavier.
When Andre returned, he saw Penny in Alina's arms.
He was worried when he heard that she had left from Tanyu Villa.
But he didn't expect her to be straight home.
As long as she didn't go to Ingford, anything was fine.
After playing with Penny for a while, Penny seemed to remember something and complained, "Why hasn't Daddy come for a long time?"
Alina, "..."
Andre, "..."
The two, subconsciously glanced at each other, and Andre clearly saw the surge that flickered under Alina's eyes.
Andre stepped forward and hugged the child, "It's time for you to go to the childhood class."
Without waiting for the child to answer, Andre had the child taken away.
Alina remained sitting where she was, her face slightly pale.
Andre stepped forward, "It's really you?"
Andre had already known about the incident in Ingford, and he did not expect Alina to come to this stage after all.
Alina was silent, and this silence became, apparently, a tacit acknowledgement.
She can't wait for Chester to find out about this in a different way.
She didn't know how long she would wait. Nor did she know exactly what would happen during that wait.
"Since it's always been about this, it's fine to reveal it." Now, Vanessa was overwhelmed.
Therefore, in Alina's opinion, the current Vanessa, at least, definitely did not have the time to target and calculate her.
Andre took her in his arms, "Alina."
It turned out that it was because of fear, because she was too afraid that Vanessa would lay hands on the people around her in the time before Chester knew about it.
So, she brought everything forward. Since it was impossible to trust, since all the damage was done because of this incident.
Now, then, she would find it out with her hands.
It was only at this moment when he embraced her that Andre realised how thin Alina was nowadays.
"It's good that there's no road." In particular, it was clear to her now that there was no road between herself and Chester, which was good.
It would be the saddest part of the story to expect a road all the time.
"Because of that woman, I have lost so much." She could not wait for heaven to give her retribution.
Just thinking of the tears that slipped from the corners of her grandmother's eyes before she passed away, and the tragic loss of her mum and dad back then, she knew she and Chester had no way out.
It was about Vanessa, and she knew back then that there was no room left for the love between her and Chester.
Nowadays, who is that qualified to ask her to find a way between herself and Chester?
"Not anymore." The strength of Andre's hold on her was heavier.
Alina closed her eyes and trembled all over, "Between us, back in the day, there was actually no road."
Yes, from the time Vanessa did that, the path between them had been completely extinguished.
