One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 223 You’ll Get the Money if You Catch Her

The car was already stuck in the traffic, crawling slowly like a bug on a crowded street. However, when the traffic was gradually clearing up at the front and vehicles could finally move faster, the driver, Liam, was puzzled when he heard Courtney.

“Huh?”

Whether it was Liam, William, Alicia, or Tina, everyone was startled.

Alicia was the first to return to her senses. Immediately, she grabbed Courtney by her arms. “What are you doing? Don’t forget that you just promised me that you won’t get yourself into this mess.”

Frowning at her aunt’s words, Courtney tried to observe the situation outside the window through the corners of her eyes. Anxiously, she said, “Aunt Alicia, someone’s life is at stake.”

She was not a saint, but it was her empathy that drove her reaction. She felt that no one’s life should be treated so lightly.

The red light in the front was counting down. Liam was a little lost. When he noticed William’s gaze, he understood the situation and pulled over slowly by the road.

Yet, Alicia grimaced. “Courtney, do you think that the kid from the Duncan Family has your back and that’s why you have nothing to fear? This is a company. Do you understand that if there is a loophole in their finances, it is basically a bottomless pit? How are you going to fill it up?”

When Courtney heard the word ‘Duncan’, she was lost in her thoughts for a moment.

Alicia still didn’t know that she had broken up with Alexander. She never had the chance to tell them.

“Aunt Alicia, do you really think that it is a good thing to let the Hunter Group go bankrupt?” Calming down, Courtney stared at her aunt solemnly. “This isn’t just my dad’s career. It’s a result of my mom’s hard work too.”

Instantly, Alicia’s grip on Courtney’s arm froze.

It had been so long that Alicia had almost forgotten that the company that was named after the Hunter Family was actually inextricably linked to her best friend. Instead of saying that she had forgotten, she was actually trying to deny it.
