Chapter 7 Scheming

"Aunt, here is the thing..."

With an aggrieved face and red eyes, Lena gave the hat of "coveting the wealth of Li family and using all means to take away her sister's love" to Alina.

She didn't even blink her eyes during the whole process, which almost convinced Alina herself.

Alina didn't want to defend herself. She just watched her acting expressionlessly and saw her crying, which made people feel sorry for her.

Woolley didn't like her in the first place, so she would listen to whatever she heard. Now she looked at her up and down with extreme disgust.

"Humph, no wonder you don't want to leave. It turns out that you have other plans. For the money, you even try to send yourself to someone else's bed. You are so scheming!"

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, a hint of complacency flashed across Lena's pretty face.

She whispered in Alina's ear, "Dad said if you dare to expose me, you're dead!"

Taking a deep breath, she gesticulated, "What the hell are you doing? Is it interesting?"

Only Lena could understand the sign language, but she deliberately misinterpreted it. She shouted in front of Woolley, "Sister, don't be angry. I know I shouldn't have come today!"

A bad feeling rose in Alina's heart.

As expected, she lowered her eyes and said in a humbler tone.

"But I don't want you and others to be fooled all the time. It doesn't matter if they misunderstand me, but how can dad be implicated? Sister, don't you think that you are too selfish? Your conscience... Won't it hurt?"

At the end of her words, Woolley's heart ached. She pulled Lena over, stood behind her, and scolded, "Alina, how can you treat your sister like this? You should know that bird is always a bird, and even if it is rich, it can't become a phoenix! What doesn't belong to you will never belong to you all his life!"

Alina was already numb. She ignored them and turned away.

In the following time, Lena coaxed Woolley in just a few hours. Woolley had completely changed her attitude and treated her as her daughter-in-law.

In the evening, Stephanie came back.

His straight suit made his features more angular. Although there was a scar on his face, it did not affect his handsome face at all. He looked like an elite.

Lena was shocked! When she realized what had happened, she felt very regretful. It was not like the rumors at all! Is he ugly?

If she had known it earlier, she wouldn't have asked Alina to marry him on behalf of her!

But... Her father had warned her that her current target was An.

After hesitating for a while, Lena made a decision. Only a fool would make a choice. As the daughter of the Lin family, she would naturally want two of them!

What's more, Stephanie Li must have liked her since he proposed to marry her.

Thinking of this, she walked up to him with a sweet smile and said in a sweet voice, "Stephanie!"

To her surprise, Stephanie didn't even look at her.

It shouldn't be!

Lena was dumbfounded, and even Woolley couldn't believe it.

Was he still angry? Did he misunderstand her because of Alina?

Thinking of this, Lena felt relieved. She quickly leaned over and smiled mysteriously at Stephanie. "Stephanie, I have a secret to tell you alone."

Stephanie Li knew that what she said might have something to do with Jerry, so he allowed her to follow him into the study.

As soon as they left, Woolley said sarcastically, "smart people can see that Stephanie likes Lena, but you insist on occupying the position of young mistress and won't leave. Tut, tut, tut, you're asking for trouble!"

Alina frowned and didn't respond.

She just felt confused. At that time, the Li family didn't know that she would marry on behalf of Lena, so they mistakenly thought that it would be Lena who would marry him. Why didn't they hold a wedding?

Didn't Li take the initiative to marry Lena?

When she was in a daze, a phone call interrupted her thoughts. It came from the city hospital. "Is that Miss Lin? Come to the hospital quickly. The patient has an accident!"
