When Caleb looked at Margot, who was now living in the Lawson family, there was a slight trance in his heart.
Once, Alina lived over here for a long time when she was away from him, and the Lawson family protected her extremely well at that time.
And now everything, in the end, was far away.
Seeing that Caleb was always looking at her, Margot touched her face in confusion, “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
Caleb shook his head, “No.”
Hearing him say no, Margot’s expression became unnatural.
Caleb asked, “Are you still used to being here?”
This question caused Margot to freeze, and then she nodded her head.
That was the first time someone had asked her such a question.
Caleb’s impression of Margot was not bad at all.
Alina gave her back her identity, but she only took the share that belonged to her, leaving what belonged to Alina untouched.
If it were up to someone else, things probably wouldn’t be so simple and it would probably be a fight to the death.
Of course, Alina could not possibly compete with Margot, but what he did not expect was that Margot, who had lived such a hard life since childhood, did not have any half-hearted resentment in her heart, nor did she dwell with Alina.
Afterwards, looking at the way Andre treated Alina, he could tell that there was actually nothing wrong with Margot’s character.
“He’ll be back in three days?”
“Yes.” Margot nodded her head.
Caleb stood up, “I’ll go back then.”
“Wait, wait.” Margot called out to him.
Caleb frowned and turned back, “What?”
“You’re here for Dark Sect, aren’t you? Andre won’t be convenient to intervene in this matter because of Alina.”
Margot said.
This shocked Caleb, he didn’t expect that Margot had seen through this thing.
Indeed, the Ajax family had deep roots, and Romeo was in rage, and was bound to fight Sienna to the death.
In order to completely stomp the Ajax family down, Romeo had even thought of using Alina.
And Caleb didn’t want Romeo and Chester to be enemies.
So he had to help Romeo. But to fight the Ajax family, they must use external forces.
Andre was worried about Alina. Now that Alina was delirious, they didn’t know what exactly Alina’s attitude was on the matter of Sienna.
Andre was afraid that Alina would hate him.
“If it is a must, I’ll lend it to you.” Seeing that Caleb did not say anything, Margot added.
Caleb looked at her in shock, “You?”
“Yes, me.” Margot nodded her head.
Caleb knew that Dark Sect was left to her by Zane, but it had always been in Andre’s hands, hadn’t it?
Of course, if she were to use it, Andre wouldn’t say no.
In just a flash, Caleb noticed that Andre probably was avoiding him on purpose before Andre knew he would come.
He used Margot, so that even if Alina came to her senses later, she could not blame him.
Andre, indeed, was as cunning as Sienna, and had calculated everything clearly.
Seeing that Caleb did not speak, Margot asked softly, “Will you?”
Caleb nodded, “Yes.”
Since this was Andre’s intention, he naturally would not refuse.
Margot nodded.
The two’s gazes collided silently in the air, a glance that seemed as familiar.
It was just a fleeting memory, too fast for Caleb to catch, yet it was so familiar.
…
Caleb left the next morning, after taking care of everything.
And Andre, who originallywould not return to Shirling until three days later, was now standing behind Margot, so it was clear that he had not left at all.
Looking at Margot’s back, Andre frowned, “He wouldn’t have a heart, why bother?”
“I know, it’s impossible between him and me, but to be able to watch over him in secret is satisfying enough for me.”
The tone of Margot’s voice was very light, and there was no trace of hurt in her tone, but it made Andre’s heart ache.
When he knew what Margot had feelings for Caleb, he actually had some difficulty.
Many girlfriends and close sisters have fought each other over a man.
Alina was the sister he had personally protected for so many years, and Margot was the sister he should protect the most.
If Margot really hurt Alina because of Caleb, that was not a scene he wanted to see.
Luckily, Margot was not the kind of person who lost her mind over love.
She showed him that loving someone doesn’t necessarily mean getting them, and that secretly keeping them safe is the best outcome for mutual peace.
And he can’t do it.
His phone vibrated, it was Troy calling, Andre picked up, “Hello.”
“Sir, Miss James has left Shirling.”
“What?” Andre’s hand squeezed the phone was instantly tightening.
Troy said on the phone, “And all her fixed assets in Shirling have been sold, even the company has been sold.”
At this moment, Andre’s brain went blank.
His entire world seemed to have gone blank at this moment, leaving only the last consciousness [Nellie has run away with the money.]
Yes, she ran away, disposed of all the fixed assets in her name, even the company, in such a short time.
Andre only felt a gust of blackness in front of his eyes.
The phone fell to the ground with a ‘thud’, and if not for Margot holding him up, he probably would have fallen straight to the ground.
“Andre!” Margot saw his face turn white and looked at him worriedly.
Half an hour later, Andre sat on the sofa downstairs, with no strength.
Margot handed him a glass of water, and Andre took it with an ashen face and drank it down in one gulp.
“Why?” He asked.
Margot didn’t really know how to answer this question from Andre.
From Luna before, Margot learnt that Andre was so ruthless to Nellie that she couldn’t see a way out.
If she had put down in that position, she probably would not have turned back.
“I’ve been good to her, so why she…?” Andre’s tone tightened.
He had been so compromising all this time, trying so hard to be good to her, and he had only been gone for one night, so how could she leave Shirling?
And when the hell did she start handling those stuff? She was so good at doing it so unnoticed.
Hearing his incoherent words, Margot did not know how to comfort him for a while.
She said, “Maybe that’s not what Nellie wants.”
“Doesn’t she want me to be good to her?”
“But your hurt her before.” Margot said in a calm tone.
This made Andre instantly silent.
