One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 261

Chapter 261 Mommy, What’s Wrong With Your Lips?

“According to the previous branch manager, the lady is in her early twenties and very beautiful. She brought the necklace over to ask for the identity of the person who ordered it in our store.”

The branch manager’s voice came clearly over the line. It was like a jolt of shock to Alexander, waking him up immediately.

He had a woman named Hunter right next to him, so he could not help thinking about her.

However, he quickly eliminated the possibility.

Six years ago, I had no interaction with Courtney whatsoever. How could the necklace end up with her?

 

As he denied his guess, some memories flickered in his mind.

All this while, he suspected that the necklace was lost by the surrogate woman during that night six years ago. However, his previous butler, Louis vehemently denied it. According to him, he already asked the woman but it was not with her.

 

After Louis returned from the hospital with Jordan, he resigned immediately. When Alexander asked Josh to investigate this matter, they found out that Louis died in an accident. Apart from that, from the obstacles they faced when they looked into the surrogate woman, he knew that Louis must be hiding something about the surrogacy back then.

Flocks of birds flew past the window and the cerulean blue sky of Melrose City looked alive on this day.

Looking out the window, Alexander was deep in thought.

Then, he tapped his slender fingers on the phone.

“Head over to the ancestral home and ask Harry for the list of employees who worked with Louis back then. Look them up one by one and ask them about the surrogacy; you can pressure, force, or coerce them—do whatever to get the job done.”

On the other end of the line, Josh was stunned for a moment before returning to his senses.

“Understood; consider it done.”

“Good.”

After he hung up the phone, Alexander took his pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

If there was something up with surrogate, what would it take to make Louis—an experienced butler in our family—suddenly resign?

Seeing Courtney, who was fast asleep in the bathtub, Alexander suddenly had a wild thought. It only lasted for a moment before he warded it off simply because of the sheer absurdity.
