One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 290

Chapter 290 I Like You as You Are

Courtney’s words were enough to make Alexander’s eyes focus as he cast an inquiring gaze at her.

“It’s nothing, really. I just don’t want to hear about what happened that day. You don’t need to keep on reminding me about irrelevant things that irrelevant people said.” She kept her head low as she explained, her tone light.

She wasn’t afraid that he would believe what Vanessa said about her being sent to sleep with four or five men by Anna six years ago. Instead, when trying to refute Vanessa, Courtney was afraid that she herself would accidentally slip up and reveal that she went into the wrong room and bed six years ago.

If Alexander connects the dots of what happened that night six years ago, the consequences will be devastating.

That was why she wanted this incident to be over quickly.

It’s best not to mention this ever again.

However, Alexander misunderstood her.

As his brows furrowed together, he stared at Courtney, who was still washing the vegetables, for a long time while his expression grew darker.

After dinner, Courtney went to clean herself up in her room while Alexander made a call on the balcony. On the other side of the line, Josh’s aggrieved voice could be heard.

 

“President Duncan, it happened six years ago. Also, Anna is already dead so I can’t even find the mastermind behind all this. Where will I find her men?”

With a dark expression, Alexander remained unfazed as he said coldly, “I will only give you three days. No matter what you do, I want you to find all the five people without missing out any one of them. You know what to do afterward.”

As soon as the call ended, Josh collapsed on the couch while letting out a long sigh.

Back when Alex was working in the enterprise, he didn’t have this much private matters to deal with but now that he isn’t in the enterprise, he will ask me to handle some matters for him quietly from time to time. Not only that, the tasks also get more difficult one after another. Before I get the time to finish one, there’ll be another one coming. I’m pretty sure my hair will become white before long.
