One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 You’ll Be the One Who Suffers

Courtney looked back and sneered once she got on the escalator. “I have other things to do with my day. I’m not like you—the princess of the Hunter Family—who has nothing better to do apart from scheming to get the family’s inheritance and find yourself a rich man.” Her words left Anna digging her nails into her palms as she fumed with rage.

6 years ago, Anna invested all of her effort into staging an incident that would ruin Courtney’s reputation once and for all. She wanted her father to despise Courtney so that she would lose the rights to inherit any of their family’s wealth.

I’d been enjoying myself for the past 6 years since her disappearance, but why is she back now? What is she trying to do?

After work that day, Courtney went home and prepared a meal for Tina in the kitchen. Right then, her phone rang in her pocket. She rubbed her palms against her apron before pulling it out and glanced at the screen, but her face fell when she saw the caller ID. It was her father.

“Dad.” She greeted him.

“I heard you were back.” Her father’s voice was deep and quiet from the other end; he sounded a little more worn out since the last time she contacted him years ago.

 

“Yeah,” she replied softly as she ran her fingers back and forth across the home screen of her phone. She was certain that Anna was the one who had told her father about it, but she didn’t know what Anna had said about her. It’s probably nothing good.

“Why don’t you move home since you’re back here? How can you live alone for such a long time?” he asked.

 

She frowned upon hearing this. “It’s fine, Dad. I like living outside by myself.”
