I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 465 She’s Busy and Bitter
No one knows how much it really stung when Andre heard what Alina said about her past.
He probably knew that once Caleb was a kind of existence in Alina’s heart, and he was a good man.
Once, Alina told him that she had thought for a long time that Caleb was a very responsible man.
Although their marriage was set up by their elders, there was no feelings for the premise of their being together.
But after being together, Caleb treated her really well.
Yet in retrospect.
This is probably why she hated Caleb so much.
Now that she still knows it was him that night, how can she easily forgive him?
“You’re right, he deserves to die.” Andre lit a cigarette and took heavy puffs, still unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
Her husband, who left her without the slightest defence, was trying to kill her at any moment.
What was it like?
...
Having appeased Alina, Andre felt that he was going to be hasty.
Joanna handed a cup of coffee to Andre, who said, “No coffee at night.”
“You couldn’t sleep anyway.” Joanna shrugged.
Eventually, Andre picked it up.
Joanna sat down across from him. Unlike other women, Joanna was a very neutral woman who, without speaking, would have
been considered as a man.
Otherwise, she would not have been beaten by Caleb and put in hospital at that time.

“Know who the two people in the world she’ll never go soft on are?”
Andre didn’t answer, but probably knew the answer.
She has a good heart and will be good to everyone, but she will not be soft to both Emma and Caleb anymore.
Her heart was especially cold and hard when Emma betrayed her, and when Caleb decided to use her to save Emma.
Andre took a sip of his coffee.
He said with a frown, “I was hasty.”
He thought that he was the person who knew Alina best, yet he was not as good as a Joanna whom Alina met on her design
path.
Joanna could even tell that the people Alina would be least soft-hearted about were Caleb and Emma.
Yet when Vanessa said that Caleb might be dying, he thought Alina would be soft-hearted knowing that.
He was wrong.
Not to mention that Caleb was going to die, even if he did die However, Alina probably wouldn’t be half-hearted about it, right?
Joanna sighed, “She’s suffering, it’s been a busy time, but I know that she’s having a hard time.”
She kept busy for trying desperately not to think of those people and things.
“You probably don’t know that yet, do you?” Without waiting for Andre to speak, Joanna continued.
Andre looked to Joanna without saying a word.
Joanna continued, “Back then, she said she was in a desperate situation, and if the person who went that day had been Tomas,
she probably wouldn’t have survived.”
Tomas has always been loyal to Caleb.
“The man who was supposed to go and get her at the hospital that day, presumably Tomas, was intercepted and replaced by
Brandon.”

This is the main reason why, over the years, Alina has always trusted Brandon unconditionally, no matter what time it was.
Brandon was a complete novice in the design world, yet in that situation, Alina hired him.
“How could she forgive Caleb because of his sacrifice?”
Besides, this sacrifice is pointless.
Andre understood.
In the end, it’s because of what happened three years ago.
Three years ago, she almost died. How could she forgive Caleb now just because of this?
As Joanna said, even if Caleb did die However, Alina probably wouldn’t forgive him.
“Many thanks.” After a thousand thoughts, all that Andre could say to Joanna was these two words.
Joanna wass really busy, however she had been by Alina all this time, she understood Alina, soothed her and kept her company.
This was most needed at this juncture in Alina’s life.
Joanna, “Will you be here for the next few days?”
“Yes.”
After all, Chester was there now.
He saw what happened to Alina.
It was not a good time for her to see either Chester or Caleb, so he was trying to buy her more time.
At least he would not allow Alina to see Chester now.
Joanna nodded, “That’s good.”
Now that the location where Alina was hiding was exposed, there was no telling what kind of trouble she would encounter next.
And Joanna, who knew Alina’s situation best, was really worried.

...
The temperature in Fragrant Mountain after dark was very, very low, and the heating in the house was turned up, but it seemed
that the coldness could not be dispelled.
Alina stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a white nightgown, looking out into the snow, her eyes hollow and sorrowful.
Her heart was aching, as Joanna had said, when she had worked to the point of least consciousness, all that pain at the heart
doesn’t seem to leave.
Countless messages rushed in.
Vanessa and Chester’s called her, but Caleb did not not, so she was relieved.
It was as if that would make her feel better.
Vanessa’s phone called in, vibrating in a way that seemed to make Alina’s palms tingle.
There was a time when the Collins family was on her side when Caleb did all those things that were harmful to her.
She was grateful for a time.
But now, after knowing all the truth, all that gratitude she had therefore disappeared completely, and there was endless mockery.
She turned off the phone again, letting her world, once again, be quiet, what flashed through her mind were the good things she
had once done with Chester.
It was finally fixed on that stormy night, and she and Chester, it seems, were fixed before that.
Her heart ached.
...
Vanessa was so excited when she reach through Alina’s number, yet when she called again, it was off.
On her face, it was all pain.
Julia, “How was it, did you get through?”

“It’s off again.” A moment ago, it had clearly got through, yet now it was off again.
When Julia heard that the phone was off, she was anxious, “Now all Caleb murmurs is her name whenever he’s unconscious.”
Now Caleb was in a bad situation, and no one knows if he can wake up after he passes out.
And when Vanessa heard that, there was endless sorrow in his eyes.
“A sinful fate.”
Back then, if they had known exactly why the old man was trying to set them up together, she would have stopped it.
Now, however, what to do?
When will this sin end?
