One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 347

Chapter 347 He Won’t Let Anyone Off

On the other end of the phone, Alexander’s voice was extraordinarily calm, which made it hard for Courtney to make out any emotion from him through the phone.

Courtney was stunned for a moment. “Look, Alex, I know I shouldn’t even put my nose into this matter, but she is your mother after all, and our friendship with Oliver—”

“You don’t need to say any more.” Courtney was interrupted before she could even finish her sentence. Alexander’s weirdly indifferent and calm voice that came from the phone made Courtney feel as if this matter really had nothing to do with him, and that he really couldn’t care less about this.

“There’s nothing left to say about this. Since she left the Duncan family twenty years ago, whatever ties she had with us ended. There is no need for me to spend all this effort to help someone who has no relations with me. You should come back as well.”

Alexander’s words were spoken so easily, as if he was determined not to help.

“I see Oliver as my brother, and yet you are still not willing to help?”

“I only recognize Shay as your brother.”

“You…” Courtney was so livid that she couldn’t bring herself to say anything further. After a while, she finally managed to continue, “Okay, fine. If you don’t help him, I will. I mean, isn’t it just 20 million? I’ll find a way somehow. I’ll solve this without your help.”

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

 

Looking back at the facade of Hostel D’Amour, the anger in her heart began to boil even more.

She had always felt that Alexander was someone with a prickly exterior but a mushy interior. Although his biological mother did do him wrong back then, it was mostly the grievances from a time long passed. Fiona gave birth to him, after all, and she was pregnant with him for ten months. Since there was no real animosity between the two, why couldn’t he just do her a favor?

The more Courtney thought about it, the angrier she became.

“Hello? Bill, can you help me check how much working capital there is that I can cash out in the finance department?”

Their conversation went on.

After the call with Bill, she made a few more calls and calculated all the funds she could withdraw. It was almost impossible for the real estate under her name to be cashed out so quickly, so no matter how she calculated, she couldn’t fill the crater that was 20 million.

Feeling defeated, Courtney sat downstairs in the lobby of the hostel with a frown on her face.
