I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband
Chapter 700 You Are Really Something

Chapter 700 You are really something

Without waiting for Caleb to say anything else, Alina hung up the phone.

When he dropped off Margot at the hotel, however, Margot did not get off immediately, Alina looked at her, "What?"

"Miss Hughes, is it really impossible for you to go back to Caleb?"

Alina's eyebrows tightly knitted.

The image between Margot and Caleb flashed in her mind when she was at the company.

Alina closed her eyes, "If you know the feud between me and the entire Collins family, then you wouldn't be asking me this question."

Margot froze momentarily.

And then she understood what Alina meant by that.

Once, when Alina didn't know anything, then all her involvement with the Collins family seemed logical.

But after knowing that, it was the hurdle in her heart that was the hardest to get past.

Margot got out of the car.

Alina went back to her hotel, after this was over, she had to continue to stay here for another day, to meet with people on various detailed projects.

Pola saw Alina return and respectfully stepped forward, "You're back."

Alina nodded and took off her coat, which Pola respectfully took, before pouring her a cup of black tea to warm her up.

The moment Alina took it, she said, "I met Mr. Williamson when I was downstairs just now."

Fabian was not a stranger to her, after all, during the two years she was married to Caleb, their relationship was not exactly harmonious and intimate, but they were considered to be respectful of each other. Therefore, Caleb's many circles would naturally not avoid her.

When Pola heard Alina mention Fabian's name, her body stiffened for a moment, and Alina looked at her and said, "He's been following you all this time."

Previously, when she was around Caleb, Alina was most familiar with the fact that Fabian was an ascetic man.

He was gentle and mild, yet no woman could just go near him.

She did not know that he had such a relationship with Pola.

Pola did not look well.

Alina added, "You've been by Andre for many years."

"Six years." Pola said.

Six years ago, she was almost locked up in a mental institution.

Both of them remembered not-so-good past, just when Alina thought that Pola would not answer anything, Pola said, "When I first met with Andre, I was in the mental hospital."

At those words, Alina's heart trembled.

Not a very good past, it seems.

Pola made herself a cup of black tea and took a sip, Alina asked, "It is hot."

It looked hot, yet Pola just didn't seem to feel it, the moment she lowered her eyes, Alina clearly felt the heartache emanating from her body.

And Pola continued, "I was actually adopted by him."

Fabian?

Alina frowned, remembering at this time that it seemed that she had heard it said before at Caleb that the Williamson family had adopted a girl.

So Pola should have been adopted by Fabian.

"You and Andre met at a mental hospital?"

"Yes."

Alina did not continue to ask.

In the earlier years, the Williamson family was in turmoil because of the succession issue, and the old man of the Williamson family was dictatorial and arbitrary.

The members of the family were basically stuck in the family business, so it was natural for them to fight to the death over that piece of pie.

As for what kind of sacrifices were created in, naturally it goes without saying.

But the relationship between Pola and Fabian was not that simple. What happened after that was even more complicated.

"I was once quite afraid of him." Pola said.

There was fluttering pain under her eyes.

Alina froze, "Mr. Williamson?"

That wasn't right.

Fabian looked like a modest gentleman, who treated everyone very well, but Pola was afraid of him?

Pola nodded, "Yeah."

From the time she entered the mental hospital, everything in there had been forced her to forget everything about the Williamson family.

And she had never mentioned the Williamson family to anyone since she entered that hell, that place that was a second place of peace for her, making it so painful for her to even mention it. When Alina heard this, she felt even more that what had happened was not simple.

She went forward and gave Pola a hug.

Pola stiffened, "Miss Hughes."

"These years, you've had a hard time, haven't you?" Alina took a sigh.

In fact, during those years when she left Caleb, if it wasn't for Andre, she hardly have managed to survive.

And how had Pola managed to hold on all by herself?

Pola, "I am fine by Mr. Francis' side."

The Williamson family had given her a second life and ultimately deprived her of that right.

Then Andre had definitely given her the freedom to live.

Andre was her boss, yet made her feel that she had the right to freedom for herself.

...

Pola went back to her room.

As Alina had fished her bath and came out, she heard the doorbell ring, and went to open the door while rubbing her hair.

"Who is it?" The moment she put her hand on the door handle, she asked first.

"Hello, room service."

Hearing that it was room service, Alina opened the door, and it was the waiter who brought her the meal, probably ordered by Pola. Pola was always thoughtful.

However, when the meal was brought in and Alina was about to turn around, a man came into view.

As Alina was in a daze, he stepped in.

Alina took a deep breath and tried hard to tell herself not to get angry.

But, still she got angry.

Did she know him that well?

When room service left, Alina still stood at the door without the intention of going in, Lincol looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "What? Afraid I'll eat you?"

Alina, "Do you know what respect is?"

Alina had discovered that Lincol never showed her respect.

Looking at her angry look, Lincol put on a big smile, "You are really something, surprisingly you have the ability to deal with Myles by yourself." Before, he had really underestimated this woman.

She was a fox indeed.

She looked quite normal, yet her mind was so deep that it was frightening.
