Chapter 273 I’m Never Wrong In My Profession

Harry looked at Courtney; it was evident in his wise eyes that he had experienced many vicissitudes of life. “Since Mr. Alexander will insist on this, I believe it will only be a matter of time before you’ll marry into the Duncan Family. However, these arguments between Alexander and Mr. Duncan have accumulated for many years. You are a smart person, Miss Hunter. If you are able to resolve their grudge, it shouldn’t be too difficult for Mr. Duncan to accept you.”

Courtney frowned. “Mr. Harry, you’re thinking highly of me. How sure are you that I can resolve their feud?”

“Because I believe that Alexander is not the person who is responsible for the incident three years ago—even though he might seem callous. The problem between him and Mr. Duncan is due to a communication breakdown. If you can advise Alexander to clearly explain that incident, that would be enough to resolve their feud.”

By that point, it looked like she was the only person who could voice out her opinion in front of Alexander.

Harry did not bear any negative intentions, but he did not know that Courtney had already looked into the incident that happened three years ago and that she shared the same thought as Scott. In fact, she did not trust Alexander as much as Harry thought she would.

Humans are always capable of changing. Alexander himself had also changed quite a bit since they first met. His current self would not have done that, but based on his personality in the past, he was completely capable of doing such a thing to protect himself.

“Mr. Harry, how are you so sure that he is unrelated to the incident three years ago?”

“I watched that kid grow up and we spent more time together than anyone else. Everyone knows that he chased his biological mother out of the family when he was 13, but do you know the truth behind this?”

Courtney froze in confusion.

“When Alexander chased his mother out, she was already five months pregnant. Since young, his parents had seldom spent time together. She only returned to attend his father’s funeral after he passed away from a car accident. Hence, how likely do you think that the baby belongs to the Duncan Family?”

Seeing that she was unsure whether she understood his meaning, Harry cut to the chase. “His mother is Mr. Duncan’s favorite adopted daughter. If she had done such a thing, Mr. Duncan would definitely have taken things into his own hands—for the sake of the family’s reputation and his own son. The baby definitely won’t be alive.”
