Chapter 17 Friends in the Dark


    On Alina''s side, it''s as if Caleb and Tomas are just an episode that doesn''t affect her in any way.


    She went straight to the hospital. Alina was in Mr. Robinson''s office, and the police side hade to


    investigate.


    It is the clue given there that the attending doctor and nurse practitioner who had contact with the


    grandmother are no longer here.


    "Where are they now?" Alina''s voice was cold.


    Because one of the caregivers resigned a week ago before she came back to leave, directly to the


    foreign country, so she did not believe there was no problem.


    Alina''s heart couldn''t help but tighten.


    If Grandma''s passing back then was really a conspiracy, then who exactly did her in?


    "They are all out of the country." Mr. Robinson said in a respectful tone.


    A small caregiver has gone abroad?


    A job that doesn''t get well paid can go abroad?


    All signs point to the problem.


    "Their contact information has also been changed a long time ago, so it''s not that easy to reach them


    now."


    Alina didn''t know how she got out of the hospital.


    Her phone rang and she picked it up, "Hello."


    "Alina, you didn''t contact me even when you came back."


    "......"


    Listening to the familiar voice, it took her sometime before she remembered exactly who it was.

    Half an hourter.


    The tavern in the center of town was elegant and characteristic.


    The woman sitting across from Alina at the moment, in a professional outfit, she was full of energy.


    "Not many people dare to remember that car ident two years ago, I did not expect you are still


    alive." The woman picked up a ss of wine and drank it up.


    Alina was not much of a drinker.


    But at this moment, she also picked up a ss of wine and took a sip.


    "Emma has gained a lot of benefit from your family, she is really disgusting." She said.


    This was one of the few good friends of Alina, Ste Willis.


    When she was about to marry Caleb, Ste repeatedly reminded her that she had money and beauty


    and didn''t need to marry into a rich family, telling her not to trust Caleb.


    But at that time, she was too panic, Grandpa Max arranged, and she obeyed.


    "When did you return home?" Alina asked.


    Shortly after her marriage Ste left the country.


    In those two years, probably she was busy with her career, they contacted a lot, but after the car


    ident two years ago, it cut off all the past contact.


    Now that she was back alive, Ste was probably shocked.


    Ste froze.


    And she then looked at Alina''s face, her tone lighter, "At the time of your car ident."


    When Alina heard that, a heartache crossed her heart.


    Without waiting for her to speak, Ste spoke again andin.


    "You really pissed me off. I said no when you married Caleb, and you didn''t believe me. You had to


    marry him."


    "I didn''t have to marry him, it''s just that he''s a good choice." Alina emphasized.


    She and Caleb , at the time, were sort of par for the course.


    Unfortunately, Ste didn''t have to talk to her about it.


    "But there''s nothing wrong with you trusting Grandma and Grandpa Max, but how can you be so


    incapable of protecting yourself in a marriage?"


    In Ste''s opinion, the crash could not have been an ident.


    Especially after seeing Emma and Caleb''s engagement, Ste reinforced her suspicions.
