One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

“Grandpa, you even know about such a small matter in the company now?” Alexander asked indifferently.

“Why? Can’t I ask about it after handing the company to you?” Scott’s face darkened. “Courtney has been doing well in the company, yet you have arranged for her to head to a faraway place to complete such a tedious task. You have a child yourself-can’t you put yourself in her shoes?”

Jordan nodded vehemently beside Scott.

After shooting a glance at his son, Alexander still had a nonchalant look on his face. “It was not my sole decision to send Courtney to do the market research-it was agreed by everyone in the meeting. What I’m curious about is-when have you become close to her, grandpa?”

Now that I think about it, Courtney is pretty incredible indeed-initially, she is able to make Jordan listen to everything she says and stay with her. Then, she is suddenly able to make grandpa speak up for her and occasionally ask about her. Hmph. Yet she still pretends to be an innocent woman and claims that she has no ulterior motives in getting closer to me.

Scott surmised, “Courtney is a good lady and Jordan likes her. I also think that if you were to be married, she would be the most suitable choice. I don’t see any problem in getting to know my future granddaughter-in law.”

“I’ve never agreed to that.” Alexander’s lukewarm voice rang like a bucket of cold water that doused the warm atmosphere of the family. “There are many available options if Jordan wants a mom. Courtney is not the only one. To be precise, I’ve never considered her to be my future wife and I don’t think a single mom with a kid has the right to marry into my family.”

Upon hearing that, Jordan was angered to the point where his expression changed.

Scott retorted with displeasure, “What are you n g? Yes, Courtney has a kid, but I’ve seen that girl-she’s obedient. If she does not have the right to mai. Ju, what about those celebrities who are surrounded by gossip and scandals? Let me tell you this-you won’t have any chance to marry Britney.”

Alexander put his cutleries down and slowly wiped his mouth before saying coldly, “I’ve finished eating and I think Jordan doesn’t want to follow me home today. So, I’ll just stay here.”

“You,”

While looking at Alexander’s leaving figure, Scott did not utter another word.

However, Jordan was tugging on Scott’s sleeves, so the latter placed him on his lap and sighed in exasperation. “Jordan, it’s not that I’m not helping you, but your father is extremely stubborn. He’s been like that since young-the more people try to force him to make a decision, the more he tries to oppose that.”

Jordan pouted with an aggrieved look and almost burst into tears.

“Hey, don’t cry! I’m thinking of other ways now.”

While trying to console the young child, Scott yelled out of the room, “Harry, have you checked on the thing that I asked you to?”

“Yes, sir.”

Harry quickly entered the dining area and stood straight while reporting respectfully, “Miss Hunter has been sent to Oreus and she’s staying at Hostel D’Amour.”

“Oreus?” Scott frowned. “Why does that place… sound so familiar?”

After a moment of hesitation, Harry reminded him, “It’s because of madam…”

Scott’s expression froze for a moment before his frown deepened ” don’t think they’ll meet” he spoke carefully, as if it was a sensitive topic,

“Doos Alex know about that place?”

“Judging by the current situation, probably not. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have included this spot in the youth hostel plan.”

Scott slightly raised his head with a conflicted expression on his face

Courtney lay in the bed of the hostel as she blankly looked at the ceiling at night

When she asked about the madam of the hostel, the latter’s reaction was rather peculiar, especially the mixture of guilt and care on her face when she mentioned Alexander’s name. She doesny look like some who merely wanted to know gossip, but instead, she looked like she had known him for a long time and wanted to know more about him.
