One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 54 She’s Your Fiancée?

Many people crowded over with the appearance of both the bride-to-be and groom-to-be, including many of the former university classmates that Vanessa had invited. Two of them were Courtney’s roommates from back then.

Vanessa silently took Isaac’s hand, seeming as though she was establishing her ownership over him.

“Isaac told me that you wouldn’t want to come, so he asked me not to call you. However, I told him that he was being petty. We were so close in the past; why wouldn’t you come to our engagement party?”

Courtney looked at her with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I?”

Meanwhile, Isaac was frowning as he attempted to free his arm from Vanessa’s grip. “All right, I still have to greet the other guests. I’ll be off now.”

“What’s the rush? It’s not time yet.” Vanessa pulled him back and deliberately raised her voice. “Courtney, why didn’t you come with your boyfriend?”

“Boyfriend? Who is it?” someone asked from behind Vanessa as she stepped out at the same time. She was dressed in an expensive Chanel gown, and Courtney could tell with a glance that her hair had been meticulously styled. The woman’s hair was coiled up behind her head, and the diamond necklace across her neck dazzled so brilliantly that it was blinding. Who else could this woman be other than Anna, who was dressed as though she was afraid others wouldn’t know just how wealthy she was?

Right then, Courtney remembered that the Grahams and the Hunters had always been on good terms; it was expected that Anna would represent their father at Isaac’s engagement party.

“Don’t you know, Anna?” Vanessa looked shocked. “Why don’t you know that your sister has a boyfriend? Didn’t she tell you?”

Anna raised her wine glass with a contemptuous expression. “That sister of mine has always been a lone wolf; she doesn’t even come to see us at home. Why would she tell us about her dating life?”

“It doesn’t matter if she’s seeing someone else, but she’s actually dating Alexander.” Vanessa lifted an eyebrow as her tone took a dramatic shift. “He’s the CEO of Sunhill Enterprise. Why didn’t she tell you about such a major thing?”

The crowd was sent into a furor at those words. Everyone knew that the CEO of Sunhill Enterprise took no notice of women; how could he possibly be in a relationship with Courtney?
