One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 356 I’m Afraid You Have No Such Luck

Gradually, the expression on Alexander’s face changed.

The open space in the wilderness was too wide, and the last word Felipe said kept echoing in the air. However, the bodyguards and hitmen on the scene were very professional, and there were no changes on their faces at all.

In contrast, when Fiona heard what Felipe said, her face turned ashen, and she used all of her might to lunge at Felipe in the distance. “You b*stard, you’ll die a terrible death!” she cursed furiously. “How can you tell a lie like this!”

Felipe merely sneered and continued to stare at Alexander. “More than thirty years ago, your mother should have married me, but she lied to me. She’s not the young lady of the Duncans at all but an adopted child of the family. To put it bluntly, she was just a child bride the Duncans prepared for your old man, who’s dead now; that wasted more than one year of my efforts.” Alexander didn’t say a thing, and Felipe continued, “After that, we had you, and Jeffrey even gave me a good beating for that. But later, he still decided to take her in, and I left the place while he raised my son for me.” Chuckling smugly, he then complimented, “He even did a good job raising you. You sure have my blood flowing in you!”

The look he had was so proud that it was almost unbelievable.

“Are you done?”

Alexander had seemingly recovered the calm and self-control he had earlier—or perhaps there wasn’t much change in his facial expression since the beginning. It was as if he didn’t believe a single word Felipe said and even had a hint of mockery in his eyes.

“You should give me these four hundred gold bars because I gave you your life.” Glancing at him, Felipe was looking outrightly proud. “If I hadn’t given you up in time, you wouldn’t have inherited the Duncans’ fortunes at all!”

Sneering, Alexander said, “So, these four hundred gold bars are too little, and it will only be fair if you get half of my assets, huh?”

“It’s great that you think so…”

The nerve of him to answer back! Standing next to Fiona, Courtney held her icy hands and furrowed her brows deeply. How can such a jerk exist in this world?

Like an unmovable mountain, Alexander stood there firmly with his back facing them. Only his voice could be heard in the open space as he said each word loudly and clearly, “I’m afraid you have no such luck.”
