I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 572 Robbing child?

For example, Emma.

She looked like such an innocent being, but who would have thought that she would be involved in this after all the events had been uncovered?

Even the ones involved are the ones that take him by surprise, like Alina's parents and grandmother.

There is no telling how many people are involved in just this one incident.

Hopefully, Edison now is the end of the line.

Although Tomas reminded him, Caleb still grabbed Alina's arm.

"What are you doing?" Alina was startled by the sudden force and turned around to see that it was Caleb, and her face looked bad.

Caleb, "Annie is over here, you know that, right?"

Alina, "..."

Her heart choked again at the sound of the name.

No matter how indifferent she acted during this time, and no matter what her final choice was, Chester's place in her heart was always that most untouchable pain, so naturally Annie became eyesore for her.

But even if that was the case, she was not concerned about whether Annie was with Chester or not.

But when Caleb said this name in front of her, Alina's face couldn't help but turn whiter.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "I've only come to take Penny away this time."

She doesn't care the rest.

Caleb clearly felt that Alina's body carried a hidden tremor when he said these words.

The force of the squeeze on her arm was heavier.

"Whether you care about Annie or not, but be careful of her sister Macy."

Alina, "Don't worry about it."

Car came.

Alina drew out her hand and pulled the car door open to get in.

And Caleb looked at the somewhat forlorn side of her face in the car window, a lingering gloom flickering among his eyes.

Annie was still over there when they left.

Yet now, surprisingly, she has come to Ingford.

Tomorrow is Vanessa's funeral, in what capacity is she coming to Ingford now? Tomorrow, in what capacity will she stand by Chester?

Thinking of that name, Alina closed her eyes, and at that moment, the orange light of the street lamp hit her face.

Yet it still shows the pallor of her face.

Half an hour later.

In Waterside Villa, when Alina got out of the car, Chester's car just returned from outside and Ronan respectfully opened the black car door for him.

He stepped out of the car with a chill, and then turned back to the car and reached out his hand in a gentlemanly manner, her hand placed in his broad warm palm.

At that moment, Alina only felt a dull pain in her heart.

"Thanks." Annie looked at Chester and smiled sweetly.

That happiness was so dazzling.

The two of them turned around and saw Alina standing in the dimness, the night breeze sweeping through her long hair.

With just one glance, Chester's eyes went cold.

The moment Annie saw Alina, she blushed and subconsciously moved closer to Chester.

That oath of sovereignty was taken with a touch of provocative arrogance.

Chester felt the movement of the woman beside him, and when he looked down at her, there was tenderness in his eyes, "Good girl, you go in first."

"Chester." Macy's tone was petulant, with a touch of reluctance.

Chester's gaze was gentle with forcefulness, "Go see what there is to eat in the kitchen, I'm hungry."

His voice was so gentle, as if he was coaxing his disobedient wife.

And the words were well received by Annie, and sure enough the next moment she nodded readily, "Then I'll go in and wait for you."

"Okay."

With that, Macy let go of Chester's arm, and when she looked at Alina, her eyes carried a hint of warning.

Annie went inside.

Chester walked towards Alina in silence, with a sense of suffocation.

Alina had some pain in her heart.

This was the first time they had faced each other head-on since the incident. His gaze was so deep and cold, which made Alina's heart clench. They had good terms before.

Now, however, it is a distance tinged with a gulf.

"I've come to pick up Penny." Under his oppressive gaze, eventually Alina broke the silence.

The wind in the night seemed colder.

Chester looked at her with a deep, cold gaze.

Alina raised her eyes, "Is she in there? I'll go in and get her."

His gaze, with its extreme aggression, was of danger that made Alina instinctively want to flee.

Yet just at the moment of turning around, his voice rang out behind her, "She's not there."

With those words, Alina paused in her steps.

Her back trembled lightly.

His voice mixed with the night breeze, "It's late, go back."

Go back? Meaning she was denied access to the place?

Because, Annie is in?

Alina clenched her hands into fists.

"Where is she?" She tried hard to restrain the tremble in her voice.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

The conversation between them was so usual, as if they had never had anything to do with each other, but there was a hidden rage.

It was as if danger would tear them apart the next moment.

At the moment, Alina clearly felt that the aura behind him was becoming more and more dangerous, "Alina."

Alina turned back, "She has to go to school, I have to take her back."

Is it just because the kid has to go to school?

Chester looked at her, his eyes deep and sharp, Alina subconsciously wanted to escape, but he walked towards her.

The footsteps seemed to carry the sound of pressure on her nerves.

She subconsciously stepped back, yet was steady in mind. Chester stood in front of her.

"Did you even think about her when you were doing that? Did you even think about..?" Chester said through gritting his teeth.

The latter words were not uttered by Chester.

The next moment, he smiled.

That smile, no longer gentle, carried a sharpness that made Alina suffocate, "If you had thought about it, things wouldn't have come to this." Having said that, Chester passed her by, that made Alina's heart, even more, still.

"Be prepared for the question of who the child belongs."

Alina turned around.

Chester was standing under the backlit streetlight, his face could not be seen, yet it made Alina feel the cold aura all over his body.

Her pupils clenched as if a thousand needles had been inserted into her heart.
