One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 313 Did You Invite Her?

Late at night, at Duncan Residence…

Scott had just finished dinner when a servant told him Josh had arrived.

The living room was filled with the aroma of tea. Scott gazed at Josh with his piercing eyes and asked straightforwardly, “You were constantly away from the company previously. Are you running some errands for Alexander?”

Josh was slightly startled. “You’ve found out about it?”

Since Scott had asked as such, it showed that he had already investigated the matter thoroughly and was merely seeking verification from Josh. It had always been like this throughout the years whenever Scott summoned him.

“Tell me. What’s the matter with the woman named Belle Smith?”

Scott had a sip of tea with his brows slightly furrowed, which gave off an intimidating aura. Josh gulped and also took a sip of tea before speaking up as he felt his throat was a little dry.

“Six years ago, President Duncan asked the ex-butler, Louis, to find him a surrogate mother. The original plan was to send the surrogate mother abroad after the child is born. However, the initial surrogate disappeared on the arranged night and Belle was sent to the hotel instead. At first, we wanted to pretend like this situation never happened at all, but Louis had some people to keep an eye on Belle for some time and found out later on that she got pregnant. Since what’s done is done, they decided to allow her to deliver the child.”

Josh explained the strange incident in a few simple sentences. When Scott heard that, his expression became complicated and was even tinged with anger.

“Absurd! This is totally absurd!”

In Scott’s opinion, it was already absurd enough that Alexander did such a thing to please him back then, but the worst of it was––he mistook a person to be the surrogate!

“He’s simply ruining the innocent girl’s life.”
