Chapter 25
I’m Richer Than My Billionaire Ex-Husband Novel Chapter 25
“Let her finish.” Vanessa came out almost through clenched teeth.
Caleb, “Grandpa just died.”
These words are a reminder to Vanessa and also to Alina.
“Must you say it now?” The man’s tone, was colder, in saying this, his gaze looked deadly at Alina, that implied warning meaning so thick.
Obviously, this was not the time to talk about that matter.
Alina’s anger, little by little, suppressed, avoiding the man’s gaze, no longer looking at him.
Emma was relieved to see the crowd stop talking about it, but the next moment, her heart was in her throat.
Alina picked up her cell phone and dialed a number, said to the other side of the phone, “This is Alina, the subject of today’s hot news, I want to call the police.”
Everyone’s heart in the room was once again in the throat.
Caleb, with scarlet eyes, stepped forward to grab Alina’s phone, and Vanessa, who had already receded in anger, said coldly, “Let her finish her call.”
“Mother.”
“Auntie Vanessa.”
Caleb looked at Vanessa with a grim face, while Emma’s tone was tighter, showing what kind of torture she was undergoing inside.
“I also want to know who caused Max to be admitted to the hospital today.” Vanessa said.
When she said this, she looked at Caleb with pain in her eyes and continued, “Even, he didn’t leave the hospital alive.”
“Grandpa has been firm and unyielding, you had to do it at this time?” Caleb’s tone wasn’t nice, apparently, after three years, his relationship with his family couldn’t have been more frosty.
With Vanessa, his mother around, it seems that there is only respect for the elders, no more intimate relationship.
Now, this statement was even more offensive to Vanessa.
She said, “You also know your grandfather is firm and unyielding all his life?”
In saying this, she subconsciously looked at Emma. “Max has been bright and open all his life, but he has such bad grandson in marriage.”
The words fell, everyone present drew a breath of cold air.
For three years, they knew Vanessa was very upset with her son, but they didn’t expect it to go this far.
Caleb’s face looked unpleasant.
Vanessa looked coldly at the butler, “You make the call. After such a mess, what nerve has the Collins to cover up the scandal? It’s better to find out the truth.”
Mrs. Collins’ tough attitude and reports like today’s would have already put the Collins family in the spotlight together.
“Yes.” Jonah, the butler who had been following the old Collins, nodded respectfully before picking up the phone and turning it to the side.
Emma listened to the toughness in Mrs. Collins’ attitude, and her face went pale, and she subconsciously pulled Caleb who was protecting her.
“Caleb.”
Alina looked over at Emma, who was asking for help from Caleb, and put the phone away, not waiting for Caleb to say anything else about defending Emma, she said, “Truth will come out.”
Jonah has already made the call.
He said, “I’m the butler of the Collins family, our family Lady Alina was defamed today, because the false report caused Max to die of illness. We hope to find the person behind it.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
As Jonah said this, his stern gaze subconsciously went to Emma, who was hiding behind Caleb.
And Emma was even more afraid by his gaze.
