I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband
Chapter 289 Because, that's mine.

Emma is really happy.

After all, after all these years, she had been waiting to marry Caleb, and now it was only a few days to go.

Yet a phone call from Brodie dampened that happiness in her heart after all, she didn't expect Alina to have so much.

Since childhood.

From the time she entered the Hughes family, she was jealous of Alina for having so much.

She had the company of highly knowledgeable parents and a knowledgeable grandmother who personally raised her in a way that neither she nor Hope could ever compare. And when exactly did it start?

To snatch everything out of Alina's hands, that was her goal and dream.

She thought it was the closest thing to a dream, but Brodie was saying on the phone that Alina was the richest.

How much is in this woman's possession?

Or how grand the VIG Group is?

At this moment Emma's heart was heaving.

Mulherd Manor.

With Chester gone, things between Alina and Caleb are now considered over, and she now has to start sorting out Emma's affairs.

Earlier, Caleb investigated a piece of evidence that pointed directly to the Cooper family, and there was no movement on the Cooper family yet. Obviously, Caleb did not recklessly hand over the evidence directly, after all, the Cooper family would not allow that.

"Miss." Marry looked at Alina, full of heartache.

Apparently, none of this is a secret in the presence of Marry.

Alina, "He actually knows it well, right?"

Alina sighed as she said this.

Although at that time Caleb had been defending Emma and even used the Cooper family as a shield.

Alina knew in her heart that this was a piece of evidence that Caleb had casually given her at the time, in the heat of the moment.

In fact, he still clearly determined in his heart that this matter was actually related to Emma.

"Yes."

Marry nodded her head.

It must have been clear, otherwise, according to Caleb's temper, the matter would have spread by now. However, up until now, this matter has been kept under wraps, so obviously he actually knew it in his mind. Alina has a smile on her lips.

The smile looked bitter.

No matter how strong she really was in the minds of outsiders before, she has always been very vulnerable. Watching Caleb protect Emma so unconditionally, she was upset.

"There is a lifetime of protection.".

"Do you mind, Miss?"

"No."

Alina shook her head.

Those three words were spoken with great conviction.

For all that, she never cared, it was all about the truth she always cared.

In fact, Alina had no strength left, after such a long mess between her and Caleb, how could she still have the strength to care about anything?

Or rather, there was bit of caring when they started back from Shirling, but after too much time, she had no strength to care.

"Good."

Marry said with a sigh.

According to what Alina has now, and if Caleb is going to marry Emma, then there is bound to be a great battle.

Just as the two were about to say something else, Alina's phone vibrated.

Subconsciously, she glanced at Marry.

Marry walked away.

When Alina was left alone, she picked up the phone and Emma shouted hysterically from the other side of the line.

"Alina, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied with what?"

At the beginning, when Emma watched Alina take it all away, she didn't care in the slightest.

She even felt that after Alian took all away and disappeared from Caleb's life from then on, that was what she would be most happy to see.

Yet the call from Brodie made her lost her mind after all.

"You're rich as hell now, and you really care about this bit of money of me?"

"I don't care."

Alina answered.

"If you don't care, then why did you bite the bullet some time ago?" Thinking of the ordeal some time ago, Emma was even more desperate to tear Alina apart. She said she didn't care.

And yet, didn't she know how much they had really meant to Emma before?

Yes.

Very important.

When Caleb had not agreed to marry her, these things were quite important to her.

Now although she got Caleb to marry her, but Brodie said that since she has so much, then what in the end is those torments she suffered some time ago?

As Alina listened to Emma's accusations against her on the phone, she only felt a burst of amusement.

She said, "Because, it's mine."

Because, it belongs to her.

This would be fine if she happened to meet a grateful person.

And Emma, who is making waves in her world, still wants to get these benefits from her?

"Alina, I'll be waiting."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait and see you falling from a great height." Emma said in a fierce tone.

Danger flashed across Alina's eyes.

"That's why you've been going through all these years, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"That's going to disappoint you, three years ago you didn't get to see me fall from a high platform to hell as you wished, then again, you won't."

"But I do warn you, you'll be going to hell soon."

A vicious shiver ran through her body at this.

"I'm telling you, I'm not the same as I used to be."

"I know, and that man is going to marry you."

"But Emma, who the hell told you that as long as Caleb marries you, you won't have to pay those prices?"

"But it'll be even more wretched before you marry him." Alina felt her tremble.

Her tone was even lighter.

And this moment was more than torment for Emma, this torment was as if it was going to tear her apart.

Just when Emma still wanted to curse something, Alina had already hung up the phone.

The world went silent.

"Because she has money, so she can't care about those?" Thinking of what Emma said, Alina felt funny.
