One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Are You All Crazy?

At this moment, Angie took another violent sip of alcohol before continuing in a low voice, “To be precise, I kissed him.”

Shocked, Courtney stared at the young woman. Her alcohol-drinking motions were already practiced and even somewhat mature in the way that only someone aged between the innocence of girlhood and the sexiness of adulthood could be. It had to be irresistible to men.

“What else did you do with him?” Courtney pressed, forcing herself to keep calm despite the nature of the question.

Angie’s expression twisted up into agony, and it was a long moment before she finally shook her head. “I don’t know. I was drunk.”

That evening was Elijah’s birthday party. Summer break hadn’t even started yet, but Angie had skipped class to give him a present, only to have Lilian pull her into her bedroom and force her to dress up before she could go and greet the guests. They argued for so long that the guests had arrived by the time she left the bedroom and with Elijah caught up in entertaining the guests, Angie was forced to stand in a corner and occupy herself.

And then, Lilian’s friend came over to her to make a toast, saying that she was already old enough to drink.

Young and brash, Angie was incited into getting drunk.

After that, she could only remember the evening in bits and pieces. What she recalled was that Elijah found her drunk and took her upstairs to rest…

“Lilian only showed me the video of Elijah and I kissing. I don’t know what happened after that. She said… she said I wasn’t fit to live at home anymore and that she would take the video to court and accuse Elijah of molesting his adopted daughter if I didn’t leave.” Angie’s voice was tense, revealing her stubborn nature.

 

“What?” Courtney couldn’t believe her ears. “You were drunk! This was a misunderstanding. Why would she want to take the video to court? Is she mad?!”

“What if something else happened?”

Courtney denied vehemently. “You were drunk but Elijah wasn’t, and
