One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 90 Someone Like Him Is Too Terrifying

“Mr. William is back,” the maid reported from outside.

Immediately after she spoke, a tall figure entered the house from the front yard—he was a man in his fifties and wore a perfectly ironed suit that made him look powerful and solemn.

As soon as he saw Courtney, he stopped and looked at her in a daze. Then, he muttered in a low voice that only he could hear, “Cecilia…”

Courtney quickly stood up and greeted, “Hello, Uncle William.”

William returned to his senses before he was stunned again when he appraised her. Then, he happily asked, “Courtney, is that you? You’re now an adult! Why are you here today? I heard that you went abroad for a few years. When did you return?”

He bombarded her with many questions that made her low spirits slightly bounce back. Then, she nodded before answering, “I’ve been back for a few months now, but I’ve been busy with work.”

“You already have a job? Where do you work?”

“At Sunhill Hotel,” she replied honestly.

“Oh, Sunhill! It’s pretty good.” William was glad to see her. “It’s been almost ten years since I last saw you and I even thought you were your mother when I saw you earlier. Stay for dinner, will you?”

“What dinner?” Before Courtney could reply, Alicia’s harsh voice immediately interrupted him. “Your niece returned all the way from another country to take the assets that her mother has left her. If it weren’t for this, she probably wouldn’t have come for the rest of your life. Do you think it’s because she misses you?”

His expression slightly changed. “Assets?”
