Chapter 379 Playing the Victim Card

Alexander looked at her closely. “In this world, there’s none who one cannot leave.”

This sentence carried slight resolution, as if it was meant for himself.

Full of anger, Courtney ran downstairs. “Is it not enough that I don’t want custody of your son anymore? I won’t wish to see Jordan anymore; he will belong to you and the Duncan Family. I just want my daughter back.”

The words stabbed Alexander as his face darkened even further. “Don’t you think your words are laughable? Who are you to say that Jordan is yours when he’s been my son all along? Since you’ve signed the contract, forget the two kids—even any child you give birth to in the future would belong to the Duncan Family. Now that you’ve received the money, you want to call off the deal? What farce is this?”

Under extreme anger, Courtney raised her voice. “That was because I was forced! Now that Tina’s custody is with me, you can’t just take her as you please.”

“But you can take Jordan away as you please?”

Looking at her without any pity in his eyes, Alexander continued, “From the moment that you went to Sunhill for a job, to the time you fed Jordan at the hotel, then to coming to my house to cook for Jordan—every step was just so you could get closer to me and Jordan, to make up evidence of me supposedly abusing my child. Do you think this makes you qualified to take Jordan away using these dirty methods? ”

Dirty?

Courtney couldn’t believe that she was such a person in Alexander’s eyes.

 

“It was the lawyer’s advice. I never went through with it.” She vehemently defended herself.

Doubting her, Alexander sneered. “Is it?”

If she hadn’t gotten exposed, she might’ve gone through with it.

Then I would’ve played the fool who was caught off guard and sued for child abuse unknowingly.
