One Night Surprise

Chapter 226 Touch Him if You Dare

The piano performance did not stop. Its volume was just enough to cover up Alexander’s voice. Thus, they didn’t attract too much attention. Nonetheless, the guests on the surrounding tables were casting strange glances at them.

Elijah was the first to come back to his senses. Immediately, he got someone to send Tina out.

After Courtney recovered from the shock, she saw the woman behind Alexander through the corner of her eye. Instantly, her gaze turned cold and she said apathetically, “What does that have to do with you?”

With a gloomy expression, Alexander’s cold gaze swept across Elijah and he demanded, “So, this is the ‘friend’ you keep talking about? Having fun with a ‘friend’ with your daughter by your side?”

When he saw Elijah leave Courtney’s house that day, she also quarreled with such confidence. Even though he had witnessed the scene, she insisted that Elijah was just a friend. In the end, he even doubted his own investigation and judgment.

Yet, at this very moment, he finally met Elijah. Based on his intuition, he could clearly sense that this man definitely had feelings for Courtney—Elijah didn’t see her as a mere friend.

“Don’t you think that you owe me an explanation?”

Facing Alexander’s aggressive tone, Courtney only felt disheartened. She then took a deep breath. “Alexander Duncan, I have nothing to say to you. Please leave.”

Upon hearing that, Alexander clenched his fists. Snorting, he said, “Fine. I’ll leave.” His eyes were flashing cold lights, and all of a sudden, he grabbed Courtney’s wrist and pulled her up from her seat. “But, you’ll have to come with me.”

She had been cheating on him since the beginning. No matter what, he was determined to demand an explanation from her.
