Chapter 31 The car accident is related to Emma
When she first came back, Alina was surprised to learn that Caleb had not used any means to divorce her. She thought he would take care of their relationship first for the sake of his engagement to Emma.
If Grandpa Max hadn't stopped it, Alina would have been able to handle it.
The Ingford press, which has already begun to report heavily on Caleb's intention to put on a show for Emma.
It is inevitable that everyone's discussion will be out of shape.
Alina was eventually called away from the Civil Affairs Bureau by a phone call from Mrs. Collins to the Collins Castle. Jonah, the butler, was waiting outside, "You're here, madam is inside." Alina nodded.
The maid took her directly to Vanessa's favorite garden, surrounded by greenery, which was very cool in the hot summer. Alina sat across from Vanessa, who elegantly gave her a cup of tea, with a noblewoman's style in every move.
Vanessa handed her a wet towel, her tone not so nice, "Wipe it off."
That's when Alina realized that she was sweating all the way.
And Mrs. Collins has always had a cleanliness fetish, nonchalantly picked up a towel and wiped haphazardly.
Her bold movements made Mrs. Collins, who was sitting across from her, stared at her, and she said, "The Hughes family is an aristocratic family, and your grandmother was also very strict with your mother." "I don't like to discipline myself." Alina knew what Mrs. Collins meant by that.
If the so-called elegance made her life uncomfortable, then she would rather not have that elegance.
Vanessa has always taken the top spot in the family, and has become accustomed to a life where she is strictly disciplined in her actions.
Faced with any situation, she can also cope with ease. Now to Alina's words, she did not have much reaction, she picked up the cup and gave a glance at Alina, "three years ago your car accident does not seem to be an accident, right?"
Alina looked at Vanessa, and sure enough, Caleb had kept the Collins under wraps, and so far, no one in the Collins knew about it except for his deceased grandfather.
"Before Max died, he always said that Caleb was sorry for you." Seeing Alina not speak, Vanessa said softly, her tone got more serious.
Alina, "We don't owe each other." Commenting on the marriage, Alina defined it this way.
And that was what made Vanessa across the room freeze for a moment.
"You do have self-awareness." Obviously, she thought of that too.
Alina's face sank, that thing was a taboo in her life.
Vanessa was not a vicious person, although her temper was not good, but in the end, she would not speak badly to Alina, and when she saw Alina's face was not good, she avoided mentioning the memories that will make Alina not entertained.
Vanessa asked, "Where's the child?"
She is the child's grandmother, even if she is not satisfied with Alina, she should ask.
"Gone." Alina stated a fact.
Vanessa looked at her with serious eyes, "How come?"
In her heart, she seemed to think of something, and her face became colder. "Was that car accident related to Emma?"
