I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 651 Painful to the core

And Alina had always been a more perceptive person.

Glancing at Margot, she said, "You are good at designing jewellery of sorts, right?"

"Yes, Miss Hughes." This was the reason why she had left from eF.

She was not much of a grudge against Kara, but because of Kara's strong subjective sense at work, she must design a wedding dress collection that was similar to Alina's.

And Margot was arrogant.

With suppression, she even paid a lot of breach of contract in order to leave from eF.

But it didn't even matter to her.

Alina thought about some of today's documents, which probably wrote that in these six months, Brandon expanded the design category.

The jewellery designer at the fashion show in Ipswich flashed in her mind, and a darkness flashed under her eyes, "There is a fashion show over in Ipswich next month, I will let Brandon give you the relevant drawings, and you should keep an eyes at the relevant brooches and other jewellery."

Margot looked at Alina with some stiffness.

Previously, she would go to the company under Alina's name because she knew that Alina had an accident and probably wouldn't come back.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

And when she knew that Alina was still alive, she had planned to leave the place because she knew the feud between Alina and Emma.

She was worried that because of Kara and Emma, she wouldn't be reused, but she didn't expect this result.

"Is there any problem?" Seeing that Margot did not speak, Alina looked at her with a serious gaze.

Margot instantly returned to her senses and shook her head, "No problem."

Although she was considered a mature designer at eF, she had used the wrong direction before, hence when she came over here. She, now, was still a designer with little fame.

And now, Alina was putting an rare opportunity in front of her.

"Thanks a lot, Miss Hughes."

At this moment, Margot was heartily grateful to Alina.

The lift arrived.

Alina went out, however, when she was in the lobby, Caleb walked towards her head-on.

The moment she saw him, Alina felt the coldness in his eyes had not yet faded away.

She turned around and was about to walk to the other side.

"Alina!" Behind her came Caleb's voice, as he stepped forward, pulling her back.

Caleb, "What are you hiding from me for?"

Alina had clearly seen him just now, but she was still avoiding him.

Alina turned to Caleb.

At this moment, her mind flashed back to the funeral that Caleb had held for her in Ingford, and a different meaning flashed through her heart. When Margot reached the door, she turned back and looked at his magnificent back.

And then she left.

Alina looked at her wristwatch, "I'm going to pick up the child now."

"I'll go with you."

Alina, "No need."

Her tone was cold.

Caleb, "You..."

"Penny doesn't want to see you." Her tone was cold, and there was implied hostility.

Last night before the child went to bed, she had said a lot of things to Alina, all bad things about the Collins family.

What kind of psychological shadow had this Collins family left in her heart? So much so that even the child remembered so clearly.

And Caleb's complexion even stiffened when he heard that the child didn't even want to see them.

"Am I that hateful in your heart?"

"At least in Penny's heart."

Caleb, "..."

So, she is now not going near any of them for her daughter? This is definitely an excuse.

Caleb was angry, but there was nothing he could do with Alina.

"Let's eat together, I have something to tell you." It was now lunch time.

Alina, "Didn't you hear me? I'm going to pick up my daughter."

Caleb felt a headache.

Alina didn't want to dwell on him, so she passed by his side and took two steps before she stopped.

Caleb thought she was going to agree to his request for dinner, yet Alina said with a smile, "For that funeral, many thanks." When he heard this, Caleb's face was sullen.

At that time, he was the only one who acknowledged Alina's departure.

However she had so many attachments, so many people waiting for her, how could she allow herself to just leave?

"Then we meet tomorrow at noon." Caleb shouted at Alina's back.

And Alina did not answer him.

...

When the car arrived at the kindergarten, the entrance of the school at noon was very quiet, because this was a semi-closed aristocratic school.

So basically the children stayed here at noon.

After Alina met with the headmaster, Penny's teacher Miss Ellis brought her out.

"Mummy." When the child saw Alina, she ran forward.

Alina caught the child in her arms.

Penny rubbed against her arms, couldn't be more happy.

"It's been the child's uncle who has been picking her up and dropping her off, so mum and dad still need to spend more time with the child. You sent you here this morning and she was happy all morning."

The teacher said to Alina.

Alina nodded, "Thank you."

"You are welcome." The teacher said very warmly and politely.

Alina looked at the school environment, thinking that Andre is really thoughtful when it comes to Penny.

When she took Penny out of the school, Alina found Chester was waiting by her car.

She had just sent the Aston Martin out in the morning, and now he was standing in front of her Mercedes-Benz.

And Penny subconsciously hid in Alina's arms when she saw Chester.

"Mummy, are we going to have dinner with the devil?" The child asked Alina accusingly.

Devil?

This was probably Penny's memory of Chester after her trip to Ingford.

The corners of Alina's mouth lifted up in a smile, "No."

She soothed the child's heart.

The mother and daughter, standing by the side of the car, did not talk loud, but in this quiet noon, he heard them clearly.

Especially when he heard Penny's phrase 'devil', the corner of his mouth raised a bitter smile.

He had, in the end, become a villain in front of his daughter.

At this time, Chester remembered the time when he was in Ingford, he had completely lost his mind, and he no longer remembered anything that happened every day.

The only thing he remembered was the hatred that Alina's eyes had for him at that time, and the fear that Penny had when she looked at him.

Looking back on it now, all these things were painful to his heart.
