Chapter 55 Why Would I Cry?
Courtney’s words were food for thought.
However, Alexander wasn’t one to stand by. He continued to speak up for her and said, “Courtney is no stranger to the Hunter Family’s affairs. If you’re deliberately trying to cause trouble for her because of this, I won’t mind having a word with her father. I don’t think he knows that Anna has been throwing her weight around and picking on her innocent little sister.”
Now that Alexander was here, everyone began singing a different tune. Those who knew the truth but hadn’t dared to speak up earlier now began to whisper.
“I heard that Mr. Hunter’s current wife is actually his second one; he had a daughter with his previous wife. She’s that daughter, right?”
“I think so. Anna’s probably the illegitimate child.”
“There’s a high probability of that. His previous wife never made any public appearances, so no one knows who she was; we can see that Mr. Hunter protected that daughter well, though.”
Anna was so furious that she shook. The proper lady image that she had carefully sculpted over the years was now being destroyed right in front of her eyes. All of a sudden, her boyfriend, who had been standing by her, also turned and left. She stomped her foot and yelled as she chased after him. “Dean? Where are you going?”
With Anna gone, only Isaac and Vanessa were left.
Having heard the commotion, Isaac’s parents came running as well. When his father caught sight of Courtney, he stiffened for a moment as well. Nonetheless, he had experienced his fair number of surprises before. Once he returned to his senses, he quickly began to apologize to Alexander and Courtney. Mrs. Graham tugged on her son’s sleeve and shot him a glare.
“Why are you not apologizing to Mr. Duncan? Look at the fuss that you’ve caused.”
Isaac frowned as he looked at Alexander and unwillingly said, “Sorry.”
Vanessa was quick to respond. Having seen the tables turn on her, her expression changed faster than a flash of lightning. She was all smiles as she pulled on Courney’s hand in a friendly manner.
“That was just a misunderstanding. You and Mr. Duncan are both our esteemed guests. Please don’t take notice of that. Let’s open a bottle of champagne to wash all of that away, all right?”
“Yes, yes! Let’s get some champagne to get over that ruckus.” Mr. Graham nodded as well.
