One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 395 How Long’s the Breakup Gonna Last This Time?

“Break up?” Britney let out a sneer. “You two have broken up and made up a million times already. How long’s the breakup gonna last this time, huh? I’m not interested in this at all, though it’s quite smart of you to know to distance yourself from him at this time.”

Courtney frowned slightly when she saw that Britney didn’t care about her breakup with Alexander at all.

“You think you can make me let you go by saying that? That’s naive, I’d say. Do you think I’m that stupid?” Britney picked up the cup of tea that had been prepared beforehand, sat down at the table, and leisurely took a sip of the tea. “Will you believe it if I tell you that I’m the one behind your breakup this time?”

Courtney’s expression changed slightly at Britney’s words. Dumbfounded, she fixed her eyes on the woman’s face.

“Alexander had someone wait at the nightclub’s entrance and catch Poppy. After handing her over to the police, he had the police interrogate her for several nights running until she confessed that I was the mastermind behind the scenes. Well, it’s true that I was the mastermind, but what was my motive in doing all this?” Britney said, as if she was talking to herself. “My motive was to keep you from approaching Alexander in every possible way because I had found out long ago that you’re Jordan’s mother. Sounds like you’ve done nothing wrong, eh?”

Courtney had been suspecting that Alexander suddenly got angry in the shopping center on the night of the eve of the mid-winter holiday because someone had secretly set a trap for him to do so. “What do you mean?”

“You should’ve figured it out.” Britney stood up and began pacing up and down the room. “As long as he was provided with the slightest bit of evidence suggesting that you’ve got an ax to grind in approaching him, there’s no way a paranoid like him wouldn’t be suspecting you of having some ulterior motives. And besides,” she continued while shooting a backward glance at Courtney, “you’re not being completely honest with him. You did meet an attorney and have plans to fight with Alexander for your kids’ custody, though the one who suggested that the attorney use extreme measures was Mr. Grant, the man who always has your interests in mind…”

Courtney clenched her fists while feeling a chill come over her.

Alexander blew up that day because he got the wrong idea that Courtney had had her attorney go to court with fabricated evidence of his alleged child abuse. However, the truth was that she did meet the attorney, only to tell the latter that she wouldn’t be going to court over the kids’ custody. As for the extreme measures, they were just room for maneuver that Elijah left for her.

Elijah did nothing wrong. He was just considering my interests because he feared that I might end up having no way out. The only person who did wrong was me, who was too indecisive to make up my mind and confess everything to Alexander back then. And Britney took advantage of all this and set up such a scheme to play us off against each other so that she’d reap the benefits while we both suffered! thought Courtney. “What do you want?” She clenched her teeth while looking at Britney, who was feeling incredibly smug at this very moment.
