Chapter 250 Let’s Settle This

Courtney felt as if she had swallowed a fly. Am I being suspected of pestering him?

Upon hearing her words, Scott’s expression fell. “You are the one who suggested breaking up? Tell me then, why do you think Alexander is not a good match for you?”

She was stunned.

The butler, Harry, immediately reminded him, “Sir…”

Only then did Scott return to his senses; he coughed and instead said, “At least you know your place.”

 

She returned to her usual self. “It’s time for Tina to have lunch, so please allow me to take my leave with my daughter.”

“Hold on.” He called after her. “Since you’re here to help prepare lunch, you shouldn’t just leave right away. It’s not in the Duncan Family’s style to kick out the person who has just helped us. Besides, since you would be coming again at night, it would be too much of a hassle to come and go multiple times a day.”

 

“There’s no need for that.” Courtney felt that staying back was instead the real hassle.

“If you don’t have any other intentions, what’s the matter with staying for a meal as a guest of the Duncan Family?” Scott’s voice was cold and intimidating, as if her refusal to stay for a meal meant that she harbored other intentions.

Courtney frowned for a moment. However, when she thought that she would be able to meet Jordan during the meal, she agreed. “Since you insisted, it won’t be nice for me to continue rejecting your kind offer.”

She did not know his true intention when she agreed to his offer. It was only when she arrived at the dining room and saw Mikayla sitting opposite her that she realized it. It was a demonstration—he intended to lay out the truth in front of Courtney to show that Alexander had been taken to stop her from having any fantasies.
