Chapter 179 We Broke Up

The scariest thing about Casey was that he didn’t need long to figure out what one’s weaknesses were; that held true even if they were newly acquainted with each other. Moreover, he would hit where it hurt the most without mercy.

Just moments ago, Casey had mocked the turbulent relationship between Courtney and Alexander. The problem between them was never about his sister because their relationship itself was not strong enough in the first place. That was why it fell apart so easily.

On the other hand, Courtney had simply rolled her eyes at him. She also jokingly ridiculed him for falling for a straight man and being so delusional that he believed he could turn a straight man gay. In short, both refused to back down—their sharp tongues were equal in this respect. At least, that was the case until Alexander appeared and was stopped by Mrs. Lewis.

Casey didn’t seem bothered by her words. Raising his eyebrow at her, he teasingly said, “If you want me to, I can help you turn this around.”

“How will you do that?”

Before she heard his answer, Alexander had finished greeting Mrs. Lewis and was walking toward them.

“Why are you here?” Alexander stood in front of Courtney with an imposing aura.

 

Courtney unhappily retorted, “Why do I need to report my whereabouts to you? Don’t forget; I’m no longer working at the hotel.”
