One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 168 Blood Is Thicker Than Water

“I know you.” Mikayla stared at the woman across from her for a moment. “Britney Price.”

Out of the small number of women Alexander was rumored to have been with, she had caused the most bewilderment. She was a public figure, so it was hard not to know her. For the longest time before Mikayla returned to the country, she had thought that Britney was her true rival. After all, Britney had spent a total of six years by Alexander’s side.

“I hope you don’t have any misunderstandings about me.” Britney was calm as if she already knew that Mikayla would recognize her.

Furrowing her brows, Mikayla spoke frankly. “What do you want to say? Because of your past relationship with Alex, I don’t think I can trust anything that comes out of your mouth.”

“I hope you’re still able to say that after you hear this.” Britney’s eyes curled up into a mysterious gaze. “I stayed by Alex’s side for over six years. Not too long ago, we were supposed to get married. The hotel for the wedding reception was also decided upon. Did you know that?”

Mikayla casted a sidelong glance at her.

“I guess you did.” Darkness swept over Britney’s eyes. “But, do you know why Alex backed out all of a sudden and canceled the wedding?”

“Because of Courtney?”

Britney chuckled and gave her a scornful look. “You’ve known him longer than I have. Do you really think he would cancel the wedding for a woman he had only known for a few months?” Glaring at her, she continued, “It was for Jordan.”

Mikayla felt her heart start to thump in her chest and couldn’t help but clench her hands into fists.

She knew that Alexander had a son. A year after she got married, news came from within the country that the Duncan Family was welcoming their first grandson. But no matter how much Mikayla dug around, she still did not know who the biological mother of the child was.

Over the years, she came to know how much Alexander treasured Jordan. Alexander brought him along everywhere and prioritized him above everything else.
