One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 291 Nobody’s Getting Away

It wasn’t the first time that James wanted to acquire the Hunter Group. Ever since he became the president of Sunhill Enterprise, he had been constantly thinking about this.

Since he was a kid, he had been rivals with Alexander and had always wanted to defeat him. For the past three years, although James endured a lot of humiliation just to make a comeback, he couldn’t help but admire Alexander’s capabilities. The core of Sunhill Enterprise’s culture was essentially due to Alexander’s achievements, so if he really wanted his roots in the company, there was still a long way to go.

This was why the acquisition of an up-and-coming middle-sized enterprise could be an important springboard for his career.

One of the reasons he had his eyes on the Hunter Group was because Alexander was working for them. Another reason was because there had not been a worthy successor ever since Lucian’s death. James did not believe that Courtney alone could bring the company back to life.

“President Duncan, the location and the time for tonight’s dinner has been set. It’ll start at seven.” The secretary with a nice figure spoke in a sweet voice as she stood next to James’ desk.

At the moment, James was relaxed in his chair while his right hand turned the wedding ring on his left. The corners of his eyes tilted and a gentle yet menacing smile appeared on his face.

“Also, I’ve informed Miss Price about it. She said that she’ll be there tonight.”

James nodded his head in satisfaction. “Good.”

Tonight’s dinner was hosted by Mr. Vinsmoke of the Sakura Group.

Alexander was called back to the Duncans’ ancestral home by Scott, so Courtney attended the dinner alone.

“Long time no see, President Hunter. You’ve become even more beautiful.” Listening to Mr. Vinsmoke’s polite remarks, Courtney nodded her head in response. From the corner of her eye, she saw two familiar figures sitting in the private room. “To make things more lively, President Duncan also brought a friend along. You don’t mind that, do you?”

“Of course not. After all, we are all friends.” Courtney smiled faintly as she looked at the ‘friend’. “President Duncan really is popular; even the famous Miss Price is willing to accompany him here.”

Suddenly, Britney’s expression changed slightly but she regained her composure quickly. “President Hunter, if you are still discontented with me because of the past, then I’ll just leave so as to avoid everyone from feeling uneasy during the meal,” she murmured.
