One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 337 He’s Especially Nice

When the surveillance tapes from Louis’ place hadn’t been recovered, a part of it could be viewed, and Oliver appeared in the tapes. However, Courtney had just brought him home at that time and his identity was unknown, so they couldn’t find any problem with him.

In addition, almost every house in Oreus was a hostel, so it wouldn’t be odd if Oliver was a university student spending his time in Oreus at that time. Therefore, Alexander wasn’t suspicious of him at the beginning.

Nevertheless, now that more and more truth had been unearthed, plus the timing when Oliver appeared in Louis’ place was simply too strange, he reckoned that this matter definitely had something to do with him.

“President Duncan, this matter is getting serious. If Oliver is really involved in this, I suggest we hand this over to the police,” Josh said, his voice echoing in the office.

Keeping away the iciness in his eyes, Alexander said, “Not yet. Continue with the other leads and set aside Oliver for a while.”

“Are you concerned about Miss Hunter?”

Furrowing his brows, Alexander didn’t answer him and asked instead, “What’s the progress on the other matter?”

He was speaking about Poppy Walker, the woman who previously posed as Jordan’s biological mother. The main reason he wanted to find her was to know of Jordan’s background. Somebody must be instigating all this behind the scenes, and more trouble would come if he didn’t get to the bottom of this.

“I’ve already found her. She’s a guest relation officer in a bar and would sometimes leave with customers. Previously, she found herself a wealthy businessman and didn’t show up at the bar for a while. But I’ve sent someone to keep an eye out, and she’ll probably show up again within these few days.”

It didn’t take too much of Josh’s efforts to find Poppy. Based on this woman’s bravado, he reckoned that she must be someone who spent a lot of time in bars and clubs. After offending the Duncans, he figured that she must be afraid to hangout anywhere, and because of drug issues, more than half of the entertainment centers in Melrose were closed down recently. Hence, he easily found her after going to a couple of clubs.

Alexander nodded, his eyes stony. “Interrogate her thoroughly after you find her. You know how to deal with this.”

It had been a while since Alexander had such a grim expression, and Josh shuddered at the sight of it. When he gathered himself again, he nodded hurriedly. “I got it.”
