One Night Surprise

Chapter 138 Freedom Is Your Faith

“It’s not early anymore. Since you like staying here, you can continue staying here. I do not wish to fight with you. But, on the same note, I do not want to hear anything about my daughter from you again.” Courtney stood up from the sofa. While walking past Anna, she turned her head slightly and indifferently continued,

“If you don’t like the fiancé your mother arranged for you, you should bring your lover home and introduce him to her. If you don’t dare to do that, as your younger sister, I can ask around on your behalf. After all, Dad wishes you to have a good match too. You should not misunderstand the painstaking efforts of our parents.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Anna was panicking and freaking out—so much so that her words were slightly incomprehensible. Looking around at her surroundings, she noticed that the people around Shay were studying her. Hence, the look in her eyes became complicated. “Don’t listen to her. She’s talking nonsense; she’s trying to ruin my reputation! I’m the young lady of the Hunter Family! How could I possibly keep a boy toy?!”

Anna was a woman filled with pride and vanity. That was something Courtney understood very well. It was a surprise that Anna was keeping a boy toy. However, keeping a boy toy was one thing. The courage to mention her boy toy in front of others was another thing altogether.

It was human nature to like gossiping and hunting for interesting tidbits. With such juicy gossip in front of them, everybody’s attention was immediately drawn to it. They began discussing Anna’s private life, and the atmosphere within the room became rather awkward as a result. If Anna had not provoked Courtney first, she would not have been humiliated in public in this manner.

“You!” When Anna saw that nobody was listening to her explanation, she panicked. “Courtney, you shameless slut! How dare you sully my reputation?! I’m going to tear you apart!” As she said that, she grabbed Courtney by the shoulder and lifted her hand.

Courtney had not expected Anna to hit her in front of such a large crowd. Just as she thought of avoiding the attack, she saw the open palm swinging in her direction—it was too late to dodge. Right before that palm struck her, a figure blocked the light coming from the doorway and grabbed Anna’s hand. That person stopped the attack, then an unreserved roar rang out. “Anna Hunter! What do you think you’re doing?!”
