One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 392 Where Are You Hiding Her This Time

Elijah’s punch was swift, and Alexander didn’t expect the man to hit him, so he failed to dodge it and got punched—hard—in the right cheek. After that, though, the two men fell to the ground and began wrestling with one another.

Everyone in the house—Harry, the servants, the bodyguards, and Lilian, the secretary—was stunned. Since none of them dared to stop the fight, they let them struggle on the ground. One minute Alexander was having the upper hand by pinning Elijah down and punching him twice, and the next Elijah threw Alexander to the ground and punched him right in the eye. Every punch they threw was brutal, and they beat the hell out of each other, pulling no punches.

Lilian couldn’t stand the sight of it anymore, though. “Stop fighting, you two! Stop!” she urged. Then, she yelled at the bodyguards upstairs, “What the hell are you waiting for? Come downstairs and pull President Grant away!”

Only when Elijah’s men had made a move did those working for Alexander dare to come forward. With that, the two groups of people forcibly pulled the two men—who were tussling with each other gracelessly—apart with a man at each side.

As soon as the bodyguards pulled Elijah away, Lilian stood firmly in front of him and said to Alexander, “You kidnapped Courtney again and again! If the reporters out there learn that Sunhill Enterprise’s president just hit and injured someone, I’m afraid that your company’s stocks will hit a limit down right away.”

Upon hearing this, Alexander shook off Harry grabbing him from behind and replied coldly, “You’re quick to frame people, aren’t you? Too bad my home’s got CCTV installed. Everything’s captured on the CCTV, so it’s obvious at a glance who landed the first punch.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, the wailing of police sirens thundered outside—the police arrived just in time. Lilian said, “Well then, the police have arrived. We’ll see what they’re gonna make of your repeated kidnapping.”

“Kidnapping?” Alexander furrowed his brow. “What are you talking about?”

“Stop pretending.” Elijah wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth with a surly expression. “Courtney’s been missing all day. She’s never been anywhere else except to see you this afternoon. Where are you hiding her this time?”

Alexander’s expression slowly changed when he recalled the nurse at the hospital telling him that Courtney had never been there all day long.
