Chapter 177 More Than Just Acquaintances

“Monitor this person and continue with your investigations. Check who is behind him. Also, check who he has been working for, what jobs he accepted, and what he has been working on recently.”

“Yes, sir.” Josh nodded. “By the way, President Duncan, Miss Hunter’s flight today will probably arrive at the airport at night. Are you going to pick her up?”

Alexander frowned. “No. I’m going to visit Mikayla at the hospital tonight.”

Josh seemed startled. Sighing silently in his heart, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic toward Courtney. It was bad enough that she had to bear the blame for the fire despite being innocent. Now that the investigation was almost over, they not only confirmed that she was not involved in the incident but also the fact that she was completely unaware that anybody else was at the scene at the time. Unfortunately, Alexander no longer seemed to hold any feelings for her.

“President Duncan, the rumors about Miss Hunter have been running rampant in the hotel recently. Should we try to suppress it?”

Most people believed that Courtney and Alexander had broken up. Therefore, all sorts of rumors were going around. The employees naturally did not dare to talk badly about their boss, so everything had fallen on her shoulders instead. When Josh went to Sunhill Hotel to settle something the other day, he had personally heard Courtney’s direct subordinates gossiping about her.

“One’s true colors show with time. Besides, I have never seen a stepmother treating her children nicely before. One’s own flesh and blood will always take precedence during critical moments. Fortunately, President Duncan discovered this truth early. From the looks of it, Courtney’s efforts up until now are all in vain.”

“That’s right. She was just putting on a show for President Duncan.”

Courtney had not resigned; she was simply suspended for the time being. It was part of Alexander’s plot to buy time, but it had been twisted and misinterpreted so badly. Josh was worried that these talks would reach Courtney’s ears and cause irreparable consequences again. Then, a cold voice wormed its way into his ears. “Let them talk; ignore it.”

 

The tone was extremely indifferent. When Josh heard those words, he silently sighed in his heart again.

It was late at night by the time the plane landed. Courtney grabbed her luggage from the baggage carousel and left. Many people were waiting outside the airport to pick up passengers. After looking around, she suddenly saw Cameron’s car.
