One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95

After being stunned for a moment, Anna defended herself ‘Dad, I’m not yelling. I was thinking aloud that Courtney has nothing good up her sleeves by returning here Don’t be fooled by her.”

“She’s your younger sister.” Lucian frowned. “It’s been so long since she last returned and this is your attitude toward her. What are you up to?”

“don’t have such a shameless sister!” As Anna crossed her arms in front of her, she looked triumphant. “Dad, you still probably don’t know what shameless thing she has done outside. Back then, she lied to us that she was going to study abroad. In the end, she had a child out of wedlock and she hid from all of us to give birth to a bitch abroad. We don’t even know who the father is!”

She and her mother were sure that if he was aware about it, he would be furious. Hence, Susan even pretended to advise, “Lucian, don’t be too angry. I’m sure it was a mistake that Courtney made because she was too young.”

Courtney never made any effort to defend herself-instead, her eyes were merely full of mockery and sarcasm.

“Grandpa.”

A young voice rang, breaking the awkward atmosphere and the expectations of the mother and daughter.

Tina ran out of the study with an antique cigar in her hands that Lucian treasured the most. While rubbing her eyes sleepily, she said, “Grandpa, I want some cakes.”

His cold expression immediately melted as he crouched and held her in his arms while walking downstairs. 1 “No problem. Let’s grab some cakes then.”

Even though he did not reply to what Anna reported earlier, his actions were clearly a slap to both her and Susan.

It was a soundless slap indeed.

Anna’s face paled as she could not believe what she had just seen. She was still gritting her teeth when she sent Courtney out the door. “What met did you use to make Dad accept this little b*tch?”

“Anna, be respectful.” Courtney glared at her coldly before lowering her voice. “You used my house to keep a man inside. How do you think Dad would react if he knew about this?”

In an instant, Anna’s face turned pale.

Courtney could not be bothered to deal with her anymore and opened the car door. “Sir, please start the car now.”

Anna was still standing by the gate when the car left the house. With a dark look on her face, she tightly clenched her fists until her fingernails almost entered her flesh.

On the other hand, when Susan was bringing a cup of tea upstairs, she overheard Lucian’s phone call through the door.

“Mr. Bakerfield, I’ll hand this matter over to you. A formal notice is needed for the transfer of shares, but you need to transfer the assets as soon as possible. Yes, transfer it under my granddaughter’s name. If I give them to Courtney, she might not accept them.”

The reply from the other end could not be heard.

As his grave voice rang through the door, Susan, who was holding the tray, slightly trembled and threw a pill into the tea after a moment of hesitation. As she saw it dissolving, her expression became cruel and ruthless. Lucian, you are forcing me to do this.

After being stunned for a moment, Anna defended herself. “Dad, I’m not yelling. I was thinking aloud that Courtney has nothing good up her sleeves by returning here. Don’t be fooled by her.”

“She’s your younger sister.” Lucian frowned. “It’s been so long since she last returned and this is your attitude toward her. What are you up to?”

It was a soundless slap indeed.

Anna’s face paled as she could not believe what she had just seen. She was still gritting her teeth when she sent Courtney out the door. “What method did you use to make Dad accept this little b*tch?”

“Anna, be respectful.” Courtney glared at her coldly before lowering her voice. “You used my house to keep a man inside. How do you think Dad would react if he knew about this?”

In an instant, Anna’s face turned pale.

Actually, it was not a matter of a day or two that Cameron was dating Gale. Ever since she returned from her business trip, she had been talking about him. Hence, Courtney could tell that something was up between them and thought, It is easy to bury oneself in a relationship, but difficult to treat it with rationale.

She was merely trying to remind Cameron that many of his characteristics were not something that she could accept, so she needed to be aware of those. If they could work through it, only then could they really be together without any obstacles.

As it was the end of the month that day, Courtney rushed to the headquarters of the Sunhill Enterprise for a meeting sending Tina to school.

“Miss Hunter.”

In the hall of the enterprise, a man called her name. She turned and quickly scanned the man who had been looking for her-she recognized him as the producer of the travel show which Shay had participated in before.

“What a coincidence to meet you here, Miss Hunter.”

The producer was in his thirties. With a casual outfit, he smiled at her. “Before I came, I was just discussing with the company to talk to you about some matters.”

“What is it?” She did not understand what was going on.

“Well, about the travel show we did last time, we just finished editing the trailer and received a positive response. Hence, I proposed to continue this show. Would you like to consider asking Tina to sign a long term contract with us?”

“What? Long term?” Courtney shook her head. “No, this won’t do. I have to work and I can’t possibly ask Tina to go there alone.”

“No worries.” The producer looked relaxed. “I khow your work performance is excellent. If you are willing, we can discuss with President Duncan to transfer you from the hotel to the media company so that you can be your daughter’s manager. With that, you’ll have more time.”

“Thanks, but no thanks.”.

Courtney had never worked as a celebrity’s manager, so she rejected the offer without even thinking about it.

“Are you worried about the job being unstable? Don’t worry, our salary won’t be any less than a hotel manager.”

“No, no! That’s not the case…”

She rejected him kindly, causing the producer to look disappointed and he even left his business card with her before he left.

“Give it a thought and you can call me anytime. There are many mothers who accompany their celebrity children nowadays. From various aspects, Tina has a great potential to be a child star.”
