One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 217 Someone Tried to Rape Me

“A man and a woman alone together at this late hour. Do you think you can give a clear explanation for what you two did?”

Alexander had an apathetic gaze. His overbearing demeanor seemed to lower the temperature in the house and make it feel like an icehouse.

Courtney frowned as she stood firmly on the ground with the support of the table. “Calm down. Elijah and I really are just friends. I don’t know what misunderstanding you have. He just returned from America and helped me resolve a dispute at my father’s funeral. When he gave me a ride home, I invited him up for a cup of hot tea and a chat. What’s wrong with that? If you don’t believe me, then it would be useless for me to give any explanation, wouldn’t it?”

She did not think that he was such a petty person. For him to be this angry after simply seeing Elijah seemed like a deliberate provocation.

“Just friends. Can you look at me and say that one more time?”

“We’re really just friends.”

Clenching his fists with an already sour expression on his face, he pulled out the information on his phone and slammed it down on the table. The collision of the back cover of the phone against the marble countertop produced a loud crash that echoed clearly inside the house.

As Courtney looked at the content in the photo, her expression slowly changed.

“Did you do a background check on me?”

All her information in America, including her marriage history, was being presented before her. There was even a family picture with Elijah in it.

“If I hadn’t checked, I wouldn’t have known that you had such a deep love you were still holding onto till this day.” He had lost his sense of rationality as he ridiculed, “To you, being friends with a man means you can sleep around with him and even have children with him. You are so loyal to your friends.”

“Alexander Duncan, what are you saying?” Her face grew pale. She did not dare to believe the foul words she had just heard.

“Can’t you understand what I’m saying? Wasn’t that man the ex-husband you always talked about? No wonder you never told me anything. I thought you were hurt because of your failed marriage, but it turns out I was the one who got fooled by you two!”
