Chapter 384 That’ll Be Best
Courtney was at a loss for words. How was she supposed to explain to her daughter that her own parents were in the worst of terms, and that the reason Daddy brought her to the theme park wasn’t to play with her but to threaten her mother?
“It’s getting late. You should sleep, Tina.” She fondled her head as she switched the topic.
Although Tina could be mischievous, there were often times where she would be Mommy’s good girl. At her mother’s instruction, she nodded and obediently went to bed.
Courtney accompanied her to sleep, though she didn’t feel a tinge of drowsiness as she tossed and turned in bed the entire night.
Three days later, in the afternoon…
In the VIP room of the Melrose Peridot Golf Club, a waitress in an emerald dress served some tea to a couple of customers before tacitly leaving the room.
“So you’re the boss behind the golf club all this time.” Alexander remained a straight face, though a trace of self-scorn could be seen on his face when he remembered Courtney’s free entrance into the club.

“A couple, you say?” Alexander’s face grew slightly tense. “Many properties under Sunhill Enterprise including hotels and theaters have been receiving various attacks for the past few days. Are you going to deny that it has nothing to do with you?”
Ever since Elijah brought Courtney to his manor, the Duncan Family received a court summons, followed by a tremendous amount of damage that slammed Sunhill Enterprise, and all the damage was deliberately targeted at the company’s three main sources of income, in which all the traces of attack pointed toward Elijah.
