I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 522 The veil is gradually opening.

Chester already knew about Frederick, and if he continued to investigate, then what she had done would be all found out.

Vanessa was panicking.

After all, there is so much hidden behind this that when the mask is torn away, then there is a clue.

It won't do her any good to keep going along with these investigations.

"Chester." The moment Chester's hand rested on the door handle, Vanessaturned back to Chester and took a deep breath, "Don't check."

When Chester told her that he would look into all of them, Vanessa knew though that he knew not all of them.

But the unpleasant things that he would find out like this would almost always be laid out in front of him.

Then it will all be over.

Chester turned back, his eyes were cold and bitter, and with one glance, he made Vanessa feel threatened by it, but she still summoned all her courage, "Don't investigate further, I let go." After weighing the pros and cons, Vanessa gave such a compromise.

She would leave Chester and Alina alone.

Of course, she has to talk to Alina again, she can promise to leave everything alone, but that incident back then...

She didn't believe that Alina would not tell Chester, after all, people have mistakes, such as slip of the tongue.

But right now, looking at Chester's step-by-step approach, Vanessa had no other choice but to compromise.

Chester put on a smile, "It seems that there is still a lot I don't know."

The smile at this moment looked so gentle, yet it was like a needle stabbing at Vanessa's heart.

He said, "Things that must be cleared up in their entirety."

After saying that, without waiting for Vanessa to say anything, Chester slammed the door and left with a 'bang' that fell on Vanessa's heart.

And Chester's words, 'must be clear', were constantly tearing at her heart, hurting so much that she was almost numb and hollow.

It would not do her any good to continue to investigate like this.

Ronan waited just outside Collins Castle, and when he saw Chester come out, he respectfully opened the car door for him, and as he passed by, Ronan felt more clearly the chilling aura emanating from Chester's body.

In the car, Chester looked out of the window, just now he did not involve the matter of Penny.

But the matter of Frederick would at least stabilise her for a while, and he would have a lot to deal with in the meantime.

"Sir."

"Yes?"

"Your father and Master Romeo have gone back over to E City."

Out of the country again?

Chester closed his eyes. His father had been indifferent to the Collins family over the years, and when he left that year, he only took Romeo with him.

Since he went to E City, he has never asked much about the Collins family or even Caleb's affairs.

To outsiders, the Collins family seemed so harmonious, but to Chester, it was not.

At the moment, after hearing that the two had gone back to E City, Chester thought it was because Caleb's situation was stable.

His father still hasn't returned to the Collins Castle.

Even his mother didn't react much.

When exactly did father and mother drift apart? Did what happened back then have something to do with it?

He was thinking about that incident with Alina. It was as if everything had happened in those years, and it didn't seem right to say that there wasn't an absolute connection. But if there is a connection, then what is the connection?

...

Alina returned to Shirling with Andre, her career was now flourishing, and upon her return to Shirling, Brandon found her.

Alina looked at his gloomy face, then at Andre who got out of the car to get his luggage on one side, "You go in first, I'll go to the company with Brandon."

To Brandon, Andre was naturally the most at ease, so he nodded to Alina, "Come back early, Penny knows that you are back today."

"Okay."

Alina looked at her wristwatch, it was only afternoon.

She went to the office with Brandon.

In the office.

The secretary poured a cup of tea for Alina, who said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Chairman."

The title 'chairman' made Alina freeze for a moment before she reacted to the fact that she had been over in Ingford and Brandon had already run her company and factory to such a large extent. And she has now become the chairman and designer-in-chief of this sizeable company.

Alina lifted the cup of tea and took a sip, asking Brandon, "What happened?"

Brandon has always been a steady man, and just now, it was clear that something was wrong.

Brandon, "Mrs. Collins is dealing with you."

Alina, "Vanessa?"

It seems that Vanessa really wants to drive her crazy?

"What did she do?"

Alina said carelessly, obviously not putting Vanessa in her eyes.

Once how respectfully she had treated Vanessa when she had lost her memory, then how indifferent she was now.

These two attitudes are now even more strongly contrasted.

Brandon, "A few companies have joined forces and want to switch our raw materials."

Alina's wedding dress design is particularly rigorous in the choice of materials, especially the quality and details are quite demanding.

And Vanessa now has her hands on this?

Alina chuckled, "Doesn't she have money? Then carry it back. As for these people, take your time to clean up afterwards."

It is undoubtedly to suppress Vanessa.

Brandon froze for a moment, "It would be bad for our costs, or we should talk to Mr. Francis..."

"The high cost is immediate, and will be returned in full later." And by carrying it back, she was undoubtedly trying to teach Vanessa a lesson.

At one time, it was all about the money she used to send people off with.

And this time, Alina is going to show her that there are still things in this world that money cannot do.

The elegant and prestigious position, in Alina's opinion, was made by money.

Although she rarely went out over the years, she stole the show every time she did.

She has kept a low profile, but this low profile seems to conceal the beast within, swelling all the time.

Brandon understood what Alina meant, and after all that had happened, it wasn't just resentment towards Caleb anymore either.

Now that Mrs. Collins is to deal with Alina, Alina naturally won't be half as soft on the Collins family.
