I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 521 Finally questioned head-on

Frederick was a famous guy from underworld, many things related to underworld had something to do with him.

As long as it was him make a move, there would be no mistake.

Yet it was such a figure who failed in her matter that day, she was angry but not daring to go against him.

So, there was a large amount of extortion behind.

Thinking of that man, Vanessa not only had anger, but panic.

And all these years, what she had always feared had come, Chester actually knew about this man.

Chester's eyes reflected an icy light, and even if he was facing his mother at the moment, there was a sharp danger in his eyes.

Vanessa looked at Chester's eyes and wanted to say something, yet at this moment nothing could be said.

"Chester, you..."

"There's always been father in business, father and grandfather never let you get involved in outside matters, you can't be seeing Frederick for company matters." Vanessa wanted to explain something, but at this moment Chester was blocking even the only suitable excuse she could find.

Since it was not for the company, it was for her business.

Vanessa's mind was already so blank, and now that she heard such sharp words from Chester, all the excuses that instantly came to her mind were blocked as well. Without waiting for her to speak, Chester continued, "No one has ever dared to offend the Collins family because of the company."

In other words, it was not about the company and it was not about the Collins family.

So, what could she have to do with Frederick herself?

Vanessa only felt shivered all over at this moment.

Vanessa is the honorable Mrs. Collins, and no one dares to disrespect her in Ingford.

And yet she was most afraid to face what had happened back then.

People say that everyone, in their hearts, has a secret that they are most afraid to face.

Even Mrs. Collins hides such a filthiest place deep inside.

All these years, no one ever knew about it, let alone someone mentioned it in front of her.

And today, Chester had obviously come prepared. Her mind was already in disarray.

It took several deep breaths to suppress the stuffy weight of her heart, "It's been so many years since it happened, I can't remember."

She can't deny that she had met Frederick.

She knew that her eldest son, since he had come prepared, had checked this matter out clearly.

And to say 'don't remember' now doesn't seem to make sense.

After all, Frederick was a big name, not just anyone would go to see him casually, and she had secretly met such a character back then, and now she said she didn't remember the reason why she met him. "You never go out to see anyone, and you even rarely met friends, so you really don't remember something as important as that?"

Chester pushed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.

Vanessa looked at Chester in front of her, who was clearly her son, but now he was like a life charm to her.

Those eyes were so sharp that she dare not look into them.

"Are you questioning me, Chester? What do you think I'm seeing Frederick for?" She mustered up the courage to ask.

Her tone of voice was the same discontent as always before.

Chester, "Three days after you met with Frederick, something happened between Abby and Caleb. You didn't expect it, did you, that the people Frederick had arranged didn't find Abby, and by mistake, they got Caleb into the picture?"

And over the years, like everyone else, she was content to blame this mistake on her second son, Caleb.

All these years Vanessa has been paralyzing herself on this matter, and in the end she believed this blame herself.

Believe everything is Caleb's fault.

And now, that which was at the root brought instantly before her by Chester, all her paralysis was shattered.

"So, what you're saying is that I'm the one who got someone to rape her?"

"Am I wrong?"

Even now, Vanessa still wanted to deny it, but when she met Chester's sharp eyes, she was timid.

And Chester knew about it a long time ago, but just didn't want to expose it, all this time, he had been giving Vanessa a chance.

She would have been as accepting of Alina after she regained her memory as she was when she lost it.

The matter, then, will never be turned over.

But Alina has been so disappointing to her all this time.

"Why did you have to be so cruel to her? I remember that you like her in the beginning."

At that time, the Collins family was the richest in Ingford, but because of the friendship between grandfather and Erica, he relationship between the Collins family and the Hughes family has always been harmonious.

And Vanessa had always liked Alina up until then, so why on earth did she change overnight?

To even go so far as to countenance her by such cruel means?

Vanessa laughed, "Huh. I like her, I do like her, so why should you think that I met Frederick to set her up?"

Vanessa seemed to have found a support point in an instant.

"The thing about Macy showed me that you don't like her." He didn't know it before, but it must have been faked out during the time Alina was back in Ingford. Vanessa wanted to deny desperately.

But now looking at Chester's gaze, as if everything is in his hands, her heart sinks to the bottom little by little.

She had always known that her son. Since he had asked such a question, he must have known something. When she thought about the change in Chester's attitude towards her during this period of time, she could tell it. And now her heart was panicking because she wasn't sure what else Chester knew about.

Silence had now become her wordless explanation.

When Chester saw that she did not speak for a long time, he stood up, and his majestic gaze frightened Vanessa. "Even if you don't say anything, I still have a way to find out." After saying that, he walked gracefully towards the door. And when Vanessa heard that Chester was going to continue to investigate, her heart instantly rose to her throat.
