One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 408 The Children Will Go With You

Casey was in the living room, sipping on tea. The dining table hadn’t been cleared yet, so it was in a state of disarray.

Courtney went downstairs and explained to him, her tone a little bashful, “You came at a slightly bad time; we just finished dinner. If you had come a little earlier, you could have joined us.”

Casey, however, didn’t bear a grudge against her. “If I did arrive earlier, then he wouldn’t have been able to have that dinner. It’s better for him that I arrived later.”

“So, you’re here to get Shay.” Courtney immediately spelled out Casey’s purpose for coming. “Why did you call me down then? I haven’t been feeling well the last few days. You’re torturing a sick person here.”

Casey didn’t look too bothered. “There’s something that I want to tell you.”

Courtney was all ears.

“When I found out that you were kidnapped, Shay was still abroad for his concert tour. The tour was already underway, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything even if he came back. That’s why I didn’t tell him.”

“Smart move.”

“However, I’ve also been constantly monitoring the progress of the case. I even personally sent personnel out to try and find a way to save you. In the end, you didn’t need my help. Alexander’s a capable man.”

At the mention of Alexander, Courtney’s face stiffened. “What does this have to do with him?”

“Looks like I made the right choice to come here.” Casey put down his teacup, still looking as polite and mild-mannered as ever. “That depends on whether you want to know the truth, or if you want to continue lying to yourself for the rest of your days.”

“What do you mean?”

“Alexander was the first one to find out about your kidnapping. He was also the one who coordinated the entire rescue plan; it had nothing to do with the criminal investigation team initially. Later, once the criminal investigation team took action, he was worried their actions might alert the kidnappers and in turn cause harm to you, so he arranged for the Blue Eagles Reserve Forces to come with him to discreetly strike a deal with the kidnappers, even though the Blue Eagles were still wet behind their ears. That’s right: he went on the island operation too.”

Courtney stayed quiet.
