One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 490 Buy a Present

The situation inside the living room was pretty quiet. An exhausted Courtney burrowed herself into the couch and supported her head with one hand. At the same time, her eyes remained fixated on the near-empty glass of red wine on the coffee table.

There was a slight breeze in the room, and the fragrance of the newly blossomed roses in the backyard filled the room. Courtney wrapped the throw that was around her shoulders tighter as she felt a slight coldness that came from within her.

At the press conference that ended an hour ago, the director of World Vision Orphanage, Mr. Raymond Newman, had brought with him a stack of evaluation reports as he angrily barged into Citron Apparel all of a sudden. The originally calm situation had descended into chaos from then on.

“Three months ago, our orphanage ordered a batch of summer attire from Citron Apparel for the children. Back then, our staff members felt that the clothes smelled strange, but we chose to trust Citron’s well-maintained good reputation. However, we’ve finally caught on to things now that it’s been revealed in public this time. Miss Hunter, is this the way Citron Apparel claims to behave conscientiously?!”

As Raymond spoke, he took out a light blue T-shirt from his briefcase, and the T-shirt was all scrunched up. However, the label that hadn’t been removed clearly showed Citron Apparel’s logo on it. At that point, he angrily flung the T-shirt onto the ground.

Several agile reporters managed to swiftly point their cameras to the ground, and they managed to take plenty of pictures as their shutters flashed repeatedly. Subsequently, Raymond also flung the evaluation report to the ground.

“This is the evaluation report on this batch of clothes we received, and the results are horrifying. Right now, there are two children from our orphanage who have shown abnormalities in their health reports, yet here you are still trying to find excuses for your staff members’ illness—”

His expression darkened significantly at the mention of that, and there was a pained look in his eyes as he clutched his chest and left the scene with reddened eyes after saying, “I trust that justice will prevail, and you’ll definitely receive the punishment that you deserve.”

At that moment, Alexander came out of the kitchen with a glass of warm water in his hands, and he replaced the wine glass in front of Courtney with the water. Suddenly, the clank of the glass hitting the marble table disrupted her thoughts.

In response, she looked up and revealed a forced smile.

“Why didn’t you switch on the lights in the courtyard? The path is windy, so wouldn’t your servants lose their ways here?”

All of a sudden, Alicia’s voice rang out from the backyard. Before Courtney could get up to greet her, a tiny figure in pink bounded over toward her and hugged her thighs.
