Chapter 167 You Must Leave Him

When the plane landed, Courtney turned her phone back on and saw that she had a missed call. After glancing at the number, she searched through her contacts and dialed Addie’s number.

“Courtney! Are you back?” Addie’s excited voice came through the phone the moment he picked up.

Soon after, she asked, “Do you think you can find Vivian Shepherd from SG’s phone number?”

Since Vivian shot Courtney down during the audit team’s first visit to the hotel, Courtney was unable to follow along for the remainder of the inspection and did not manage to get Vivian’s contact details.

“Vivian Shepherd?” Taken aback, he paused for a brief moment before answering. “It should be on the agreement. I’ll go take a look.”

The cab had just gotten off the airport highway when a text from Addie came.

After comparing the phone numbers, the light in Courtney’s eyes dimmed. Turning off her phone, she simply shut her eyes and did not bother with that missed call from before.

The call was from Mikayla, and the reason for the call was obvious.

Moreover, she also had a strong feeling that Mikayla was going to call again.

 

By the time Courtney arrived at her apartment, it was already sometime in the afternoon. She took a shower and was in a rather good mood. Humming along to a song, she began tidying up the house as she had plans to have the two children over to stay for the weekend.

Before she could finish cleaning, however, Mikayla called.

“Hello. Who is this?” Courtney intentionally asked.

“It’s me, Vivian.”

Her voice sounded cold unlike the kind appearance she had when they drank together the other day.

Courtney kept her composure. “Is there a problem?”
