One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 153 Well-Structured and Logical

Jordan being unable to speak had always been a sore point for Scott. After all, Alexander had entrusted Jordan into his care and the incident happened under his watch. It weighed down on his conscience for years. He kept blaming himself for not having made sure that Jordan was well taken care of.

When Courtney brought it up again, he also felt that there was something fishy about the incident that year.

After dinner, Harry went to see Courtney and the rest of them off at the entrance. Standing on the other side of the car door, he assured, “Don’t worry, Miss Hunter. We might have fired the nanny, but we still have her file in our records. I’ll search for it tonight and let you know when I find some clues.”

“Okay. Thank you for your trouble.”

She gave him a nod to express her gratitude.

On the way home, the two children fell asleep in the backseat. From the rearview mirror, Oliver noticed that Courtney looked troubled and asked, “Are you worried that you won’t be able to look further into the matter even if you get some clues?”

She came back to her senses and nodded. “Are you a worm in my body? You know exactly what I’m thinking of. I just want to volunteer my help and give myself something to do.”

His expression was subtle. “If you’ll let me, I can take over this matter.”

“You?” Courtney was dumbfounded. “How would you handle it?”

“Once I get information on all the nannies who had taken care of Jordan that year, I’m going to find those who might have possibly been related to the incident and find out how they are living now. I’ll also look into their bank accounts before and after the incident to see if there were any unusual transactions. You should know what comes next.”

It was well-structured and logical.

Only one thing remained that perplexed Courtney. “Oliver, are you starting to remember things?”

“A little bit. I think I used to have a career in this field.” He chuckled. “Maybe I used to be a cop.”

“No way.” She smirked. “You’re only twenty at most. You don’t even qualify for training. I’m sure you haven’t even graduated yet.”
