Chapter 523 Chester coaxes his daughter away
How could Vanessa have imagined that her original plan to teach Alina a lesson before stepping in to talk about it would not have been snuffed out so quickly? And it was Alina herself who did it.
This undoubtedly made her feel intensely humiliated, and over the phone, Vanessa said, "You've got some skills now."
"To deal with you, I don't even need to use VIG, so Mrs. Collins, you should think twice before your move in the future."
After all, she was in no position to dump the entire Collins family's strength against Alina.
Vanessa, "..."
Her face turned white.
Over the years, she thought there was never anything that could not be done with money, yet today she ran into a hard nail.
"Alina!" The moment she opened her mouth, Vanessa could no longer help but grit her teeth.
No matter how much confrontation between them before because of Caleb, now, it was a real fall out.
Alina, "Mrs. Collins, this is an excellent lesson. How well did I learn?"
On the phone, Alina chuckled, just like a goblin.
Vanessa was even more furious, saying, "Do you still want to be with Chester?"
"Are you threatening me?"
So, all that was done before was to threat her?
But now Alina was not afraid of any threats.
Vanessa did not beat around the bush. She originally wanted to let Alina know that she was now even with the protection of VIG, she could certainly lay hands to Alina, but she was wrong in the end. Alina's current wealth was something she could not underestimate.
Plus the Collins family has very little in her hands right now, and Alby has everything under control, so there is not much she can use.
But even if it was not much, it was definitely beyond the reach of the entire Ingford, but this was far from enough to deal with Alina.
"I really underestimated you." Vanessa said resentfully.
Alina, "It's not too late now."
In fact, when she returned to Ingford, Vanessa could see that she was different from all the previous ones, she just didn't expect Alina's heart would run so deep.
Even her wealth had reached a level she dared not think of.
It's not easy to deal with her now.
So Vanessa said, "I can agree you to be with Chester, but I have one request."
Alina, once again, smiled.
Her light laugh sounded so harsh to Vanessa's ears on the other side of the phone, Alina said, "By now, what do you still want to ask of me?"
That was said with some irony.
Vanessa was surprised by Alina's answer.
She then opened her mouth, "Let Macy seal your memory once more."
Alina, "..."
That makes sense.
Once that thing was exposed, she couldn't even stay in the Collins family.
Alina, "If Caleb knew that the chance he got in exchange for a kidney was now being used by his mother who was praying so humbly for me to use it, how desperate do you think he would be?" "Alina!" Vanessa was utterly furious.
This is more than humiliating.
Alina, "Better not let me know that you have more involvement with what happened back then, otherwise you won't be able to keep your position as Mrs. Collins."
After saying that, without waiting for Vanessa's reaction, Alina hung up the phone.
Vanessa was angry.
Obviously, she did not expect Alina's attitude to be so strong, and her words just now were considered a complete fall-out with her.
Now, even if there is Chester, Alina did not have her in the eyes.
Not to mention Chester, even if it was Caleb, Vanessa would definitely not allow them to be together.
But, what the hell to do?
If this drags on, it will be very detrimental to her. Thinking of this, Vanessa could not help but have a sinister flash under her eyes.
After arranging things, Alina went back to the Lawson's. When Megan saw Alina returning, she came forward affectionately.
She took Alina's hand, "You didn't eat well, do you? Every time you go out, you'll come back thinner."
There is reproach and heartache in her tone.
And at such a chaotic moment, this warm care from Megan towards her touched Alina.
"Grandma, don't worry about me."
"I've got some tonic for you, go upstairs and keep Penny company."
Alina nodded.
She hadn't seen Penny for a few days and she really missed her daughter.
Andre was busy, and after sending the luggage back in the afternoon, he went straight to the company and has not returned yet. Upstairs.
When Penny saw Alina return, she ran towards her with her arms open, "Mommy, you're finally back."
Every day is different when a child is older, and now Penny is more articulate in her speech and even more vivid in her expression of emotions.
Alina picked up the child and touched the child's face, "Mommy misses you too."
"Where's Daddy?" Penny hugged her neck and looked back, a slight disappointment flashing across her face as she saw no sign of Chester.
And Alina's heart stuttered when Penny asked about 'Daddy'.
She wondered what kind of way Chester used to get Penny to call him 'Daddy', but Alina felt heartbroken.
There is an inherent resemblance between Chester and Caleb.
And before, when she looked at this child, she felt the child look like Caleb, but now when she mentioned Chester, a flash of absurd possibility suddenly flashed through Alina's mind. Yet as soon as that might have come out, it was shielded by Alina shaking her head off.
No way.
The only time she and Caleb had sex after their marriage, they had Penny. So in her opinion, there would be absolutely no surprises in this matter.
Holding the child's limp body, Alina sighed, "Why do you call him Daddy?"
"Because he is my Daddy."
And it was Penny's response that made Alina's heart, at this moment, even more unpleasant.
Taking several deep breaths, she said, "From now on, call him Uncle Chester."
Although she couldn't bear to break it all watching her child's happiness, now she only felt embarrassed.
She knew it was Chester who didn't want her to be embarrassed, but he didn't know that she was even more upset when he did this.
