One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 477 He Has Been Taken Away

The phone was showing Melrose City’s trending news. The more Courtney swiped upward on the screen, the gloomier her expression became. She began to meticulously look for any important messages in the similar-looking news.

‘The City’s Search for Miss Grant’

‘A Romantic Man Looking for Love in Melrose City: Where in the World Is the Mysterious Miss Grant?’

‘Valentine’s Day Is Coming; We Need a Blondie Like This!’

Amongst the numerous headlines, there was one that was on top of the trending list.

‘Blond haired, blue-eyed Alex of mixed descent has been waiting at the airport for 2 whole days. Now that Valentine’s Day is closing in, the whole city has been in a fervent search for a ‘Miss Grant’, the heroine of the story who, to date, still has not shown herself. Does anyone know an 18-year-old Angie Grant? Please share this news to light up a bulb. We will be holding a mystery lottery event on Valentine’s Day.

Courtney continued to scroll down, only to realize that it was a promotional event done by a jewelry store.

Massaging the midpoint of her eyebrows, she raised her eyes to look at Tina with a disgruntled face.

“You can’t possibly tell me that this ‘Miss Angie Grant’ in the article is talking about is the one killing at chess with your Great-Grandpa. Do you know how many Angie Grants there are in Melrose City? It could also be a promotional stunt done in order to create hype for Valentine’s Day.” From her skeptical tone, it was obvious that Courtney didn’t believe Tina.

Tina was unhappy that her mother was suspicious of her words, and so she snatched the phone out of Courtney’s hand.

“I saw Angie looking through the trending topics the other day, and boy, was her face as dark as coal! You should at least trust Mr. Oliver if you don’t trust me. Even Mr. Oliver has been suspecting that—”

Courtney couldn’t help but freeze when she heard her daughter’s words. Her temples seemed to throb, and she suddenly recalled the pale face of a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. The stubble on his chin only added age to his face, but there was no way for him to hide the clear, brilliant gaze he had.
