One Night Surprise Chapter 265Chapter 265 The Anonymous Woman
When they were having breakfast, Tina was speaking non-stop.
“The bed in our room is very small. Mr. Alexander is so tall that his legs cannot even extend completely.
Plus, Jordan had to squeeze himself into a small ball.”
Oliver almost choked to death on the porridge in his mouth. After laughing for a long time, parts of it
even came flying out of his nose.
Upon seeing this, Tina shied away from him “Eww… Gross, Mr. Oliver!”
“I’m sorry, Tina. I didn’t mean to do that. Ha!”
Courtney also lowered her head as she tried to hold in her laughter.
She swore that she did not know Oliver would lock Alexander out of the room, and that the latter would
sleep in the kids room. After all, the bunker bed was specifically designed for children; at most, it could
only hold a twelve or thirteen-year-old.
With Alexander’s long limbs, he must have had a hard time sleeping!
“Is it that funny?” Alexander looked at her darkly. “Last night—”
“I’ve finished eating.” Worried that he might reveal some inappropriate scenes in front of the kids,
Courtney quickly pushed her cutlery aside and took her bag after standing up, finishing the entire action
in one go. “I have to head to the office to deal with the incident. After a night of not watching the news, I
bet something must be up.”
With that, she left without a backward look.The door closed with a loud thud and silence resumed in the house once again. After Tina finished her
breakfast, she also went back to her room, leaving only Alexander and Oliver at the dining table,
looking at each other awkwardly.
“You can’t blame me. Last night, you yourself said that you would not be sharing a room with me.
Hence, I thought you would rather sleep on the couch than to share a room with me. How would I know
that you went to sleep with the kids?”
With an innocent expression on his face, Oliver even winked at Alexander. A vein bulged and twitched
at the corner of Alexander’s eyes as he held back his urge of wanting to punch Oliver.
After Courtney reached the office, Lionel immediately went to her office to report about the discussion
and change in data that happened last night.
“Everything seems to have stabilized now. However, there’s a pause in online data from midnight to five
in the morning, so we can’t really analyze this set of data. I’m afraid it will rebound later on. President
Hunter, would you like to discuss a backup plan?”
“It’s fine.” Courtney looked calm. “We don’t have to hold any meetings anymore. Just get busy with
your respective tasks and be well-prepared for the press conference later. Before that, do continue with
your work.”
As she was speaking, Bill entered the room. When Courtney saw him, she waved and said, “You came
at just the right time. Bill, please close the door behind you—I have something to discuss with both of
you.”
Bill shot a glance behind him and saw a figure quickly hide behind the door.
With a cold expression on his face, he frowned as he retracted his gaze and closed the door.“Courtney is planning to tell the media that she has broken off all ties with Lucian Hunter early in the
days. Apart from that, she plans to take her father’s will out to clear the air and clarify that she has
nothing to do with the Hunter Group.”
In the washroom, Martin locked the door and reported the PR solution he secretly overheard just now
to the person on the other end of the line.
“Alright; understood. Good job.”
“Vice-president Greene, I’ve even gotten their final trump card; can I leave here now?”
“Be patient.” The tone on the other end was quite indifferent. “This is only the beginning. Let’s wait until
the press conference in the afternoon is over.”
Upon hearing that, Martin panicked. “No, Vice-president Greene! I can’t wait until the press conference
is over. You surely won’t let the press conference be carried out smoothly, will you? If I leave after
Citrus Apparel is over, what would others think of me?”
“Since they are going bankrupt soon, it’s only appropriate that you leave after that.”
“No; it’s not like that at all. Hear me out, Vice-president Greene—”
“Alright; that’s all for now. I have other things to do.”
“Hello? Vice-president Greene—”
Without waiting for Martin’s reply, the other person had already hung up. Looking at the screen that
showed the details of their call, Martin scratched his head anxiously and he had the sudden urge to
break the mirror in front of him.novelbinAfter all, he was not a fool. Based on the attitude of Vice-president Greene of Ivory Apparel, he highly
suspected that they were not planning to uphold the initial promise.
In the afternoon, Josh took some time off from the office to go to a restaurant.
When he saw Alexander eating with the two kids, he did a double take.
“President Duncan, you can just give me orders through the phone. Why do you need to come here
personally?”
“The kids want to try out this restaurant. Since this is near your place, I asked you to come over.”
Josh was stunned by Alexander’s reply. It seems like he isn’t here for me at all. He’s just here for a
meal and merely asked me to come over.
“About the press conference in the afternoon—how’s the manpower arrangements coming along?”
“I’ve already made the relevant arrangements.” Josh patted his chest. “They are all professional boxers
who will be able to manage the situation well. If someone dares to start a fight, they are definitely going
to be seriously injured.”
“Okay.” Alexander nodded. “Good.”
“By the way, about the incident you asked me to look up, we are making some good progress.”
“What is it?”
“Six years ago, there were only a few fighters working with Louis. I found two of them who are working
as gym instructors at the moment. They said that on the night of June 18 that year, they were looking
for someone at the bar.”“Looking for someone?” Alexander’s gaze deepened. “Who?”
“A woman.”
Josh lowered his voice. However, he did not notice Tina, who was biting on a drumstick, slow down as
she listened attentively.
“They said that Louis asked them to look for this woman. Then, they drugged her and blindfolded her
before they sent her to a suite at Sunhill Hotel, Golden City Road branch.
Alexander clearly recalled the night six years ago. He had had a little alcohol that night and he did not
switch on the lights at all. He did not bother to see what the surrogate woman looked like and the
woman seemed to be blindfolded as well. From her enthusiasm, it was clear that she was drugged.
“But they said that they did not find the woman after looking for her for the entire night.”
Josh’s voice pulled Alexander back to reality. “What?”
A shocked expression appeared in his eyes.
During that night six years ago, Louis did not send the surrogate woman to the arranged hotel room.
However, Alexander did sleep with a woman that night. Not long after that, Louis reported that the
woman was indeed pregnant and eight months later, he brought a baby boy back.
Looking at Alexander, Josh continued, “I asked them several times—both the bodyguards were sure
that they did not find the girl that day. In fact, everyone was looking for her. They looked through the
entire street the bar was at and when dawn arrived, Louis suddenly told them they didn’t have to look
anymore.What is even more odd is that a month later, he asked them to kidnap a young lady who was
about to abort her baby.”
After putting the clues together, Alexander could guess what had exactly happened back then.The real surrogate woman did not appear that night for some reason. The woman who appeared in his
room, however, was an anonymous woman mistakenly sent in by someone else.
No wonder…
