One Night Surprise

Chapter 220 The Real Cause Of Death

“I’m coming,” she answered in low spirits, then dragged her tired body into the bathroom to wash up.

There was a lot of work to do at the company. Before she took over this position, she had no idea that her father had to deal with so many things each day. She had only experienced it for a few days and was already at her limit.

At the thought of the referendum during the board meeting today, she felt even more disconcerted.

It was evident that her father had left that position for her a long time ago. Due to her mother’s intervention, however, it felt like she had stolen it, and it constantly put her on edge.

It finally stopped raining. Early in the morning, Courtney invited her late father’s personal lawyer, Jeremy, out for a cup of coffee.

Jeremy was an old friend of her father’s. He was quite reputable among lawyers in Melrose City. Even though he had always worked in defending business lawsuits, Courtney felt like he was a trustworthy person. Thus, she decided to consult him regarding her custody of Jordan.

To her surprise, Jeremy handed her an insurance policy before she even began speaking.

“Mr. Hunter bought this insurance in Hong Kong when he was still alive. It has already been paid for five years. You’re the beneficiary, Miss Hunter.”

She was taken aback to see the huge title at the top of the insurance policy that read, ‘Critical Illness Insurance’.

“Why did my dad…” What prompted him to buy this insurance policy?

After all, who would anticipate their own death from developing a critical illness?

Jeremy grew serious. “He bought this insurance very early on. It was probably the year before you went abroad, Miss Hunter. Mr. Hunter was still very healthy at the time and even had a health certificate from the hospital. To be honest, I didn’t exactly know how he thought of buying this insurance back then either, but looking at things now, he was truly a man of foresight.”

“What do you mean?”
