I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 560 The So-Called Root Cause

"This matter is rather complicated." Andre said as he looked at Alina gruffly.

Alina, "Is it related to the death of my parents and grandmother?"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Other than that, how complicated the involvement really was, she didn't care.

She just needs to know if there is a direct connection between Edison and what happened to her parents and grandmother.

Knightly, "Not a direct person."

Looking at the pain in Alina's eyes, Andre still had intolerance in the end. She had been suffering from this since she returned to Ingford.

It's time, it's over.

Andre knew that continuing to pursue the matter would only make Alina suffer more.

"What's that like?" Andre couldn't bear to tell Alina, yet Alina, as long as it was something that concerned her parents and her grandmother, had to find out.

Although it was painful for her to be in this situation, she could not back down from this matter.

Andre, "It's all because of his calculations against the Collins family and his revenge against your grandmother."

Alina, "Revenge?"

"Yes."

Andre nodded.

"Why did he want to take revenge on my grandmother?" At this moment, Alina's tone was already unstable.

Andre looked at her already somewhat suppressed emotions and was more than uncomfortable.

He said, "The day his mother took him to beg your grandmother, he almost lost his life. Later on his mother tried to save him..."

The latter words, surprisingly, had not finished, until now Andre did not know how to separate from Declan.

They talked a lot, and the more they talked about, the more Andre understood exactly what karma was. Andre took a grave look at Alina, and continue to tell her all the things he leant from Declan.

What was said was probably all the same reason why Edison hated her grandmother and Max so much.

And the more she heard, the more shocked Alina's eyes were, and even her face couldn't help but turn whiter.

Edison, as the illegitimate son that Max would not recognise, had a hard life in his childhood and he had a congenital disease.

His mother borrowed from all her relatives for him, even doing the hardest and dirtiest work, and took him to Max because she really had no choice.

But Max, faced with this son, was not half happy, even to the point of being cold-blooded.

And because of this cold-bloodedness, Edison's mother eventually died from the strain of saving him. He was only ten years old.

He went through a lot more to survive, and the seeds of hatred were planted in his childhood.

Andre, "That's probably what happened, the so-called root cause of that fire back then was just Edison's calculation, and Vanessa was innocently implicated in it." Alina woodenly looked at Andre.

At the moment, she can barely hear the sound anymore.

Her world had gone blank.

Not only Vanessa is innocent, as if everyone involved in it are innocent.

"So, Max knows that everything is about him, right?"

All these years, Max had never let anyone check it out, and it was impossible for him to be that perceptive and not feel it.

Andre, "I think it was only at a later stage that he found out about it, they even met before Max died."

п

"He passed away shortly after." Andre said in a heavy tone.

Alina, "So, Max knew all about it, did he?"

Andre was silent.

And it was this silence that made even Alina's breath heavier at the moment.

Did Max know? That's why he was so good to her?

She had always felt that Max looked at her with a bit of guilt in his eyes, and she didn't understand what that meant.

Now with this explanation, it all makes sense.

"What about Emma?" Alina asked, her voice was more than trembling.

And when asked about Emma, Andre looked at Alina and said, "He manipulated everything behind the scenes, but both Emma and Vanessa had never seen him."

But, he is the one who holds everything behind the scenes.

Caleb and Chester turned against each other, the Collins family was in a state of turmoil because of it, and Emma, who had such a good relationship with her, ended up fighting.

As for Vanessa, because of the fire, hated her mother, and everything was strung together as if it were a thread.

Only those who have the threads are clear, while the world of those who are not involved is a mess.

At one time, they thought that the person behind it must have something on Vanessa, otherwise how could she be so crazy?

Now it seems that the everything was set up.

Alina asked, "So, where exactly is the root cause now?"

Edison hates Max to the core.

So he turned his world upside down as well, and who wasn't innocent of being caught up in that mess?

Andre, "Max."

Alina, "..."

Yeah, the roots started in Max, so her parents and grandmother...

Alina's heart choked hard.

"This is karma."

Alina closed her eyes and could not suppress the dull pain in her heart even after taking several deep breaths. "Alina."

"I want to be quiet for a while." Right now, she really didn't want to say anything, she didn't want to hear anything.

Although things have, by now, been cleared up for good, for her world has been turned upside down.

She knew nothing of the conspiracy, which had begun before she was born.

Yet she had endured a lot.

Andre, "Okay."

Seeing the despair in Alina's eyes, Andre wanted to say something to comfort her, but in the end as the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it. Nodding his head and getting up, he said, "Chester and Annie are engaged to be married, so he probably know about Edison's existence."

Alina could not hear anymore.

Seeing her empty eyes, Andre was uneasy, "I'll be right outside."

With that, he walked away.

Previously, Andre had never lived over here, but today, he was really uneasy about Alina.

When Alina was left alone, she was limp on the sofa, her face was pale.

She felt all over, but she didn't know exactly where the pain lied.

Even if, in the end, it all ends, what can be done?

Edison was a root cause.

But Chester's father died because of her mother, and Vanessa was the driving force to her parents and grandmother's death.

It was an end but no result.
