One Night Surprise

Chapter 227 A Friend That I’m Ready to Risk My Life For

A chill penetrated Alexander’s limbs from all directions. The last hint of warm light in his eyes went out. Staring coldly at Courtney’s expressionless face, word by word, he said, “Say that again.”

“Even if I were to repeat it ten times, it’s going to be the same thing. If you dare to make a move on Elijah, you’ll have to do the same thing to me.” Courtney’s tone was decisive. From her gaze, it was obvious that she was completely disappointed in Alexander.

She was even starting to wonder how blind she was to fall in love with a petty, bourgeois ideologist; a pretentious and selfish man who had little regard for human life.

Alexander cracked his joints. His words squeezed through his clenched teeth. “It looks like he’s a friend whom you’re ready to risk your life for. How touching! So, this is what you call an ordinary friend. Courtney, you’re really good at acting in front of me.”

Frowning at his words, Courtney did not try to explain herself.

Noticing her silence, Alexander thought she was speechless and he snorted, “Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to threaten me with your own fate? Who do you think you are to me?”

Although Courtney knew he was pissed off, she couldn’t restrain herself. Meeting his gaze, she asked hopelessly, “I’m curious too. Who am I to you?”

“Just a temporary bed partner to warm my bed.”

The reality was always crueler than imagined. Alexander’s harsh words were like a knife piercing through Courtney’s eardrums fiercely. Clenching her fists, she wanted to punch him in his face. Yet, she found herself to be too weak. The man, whom she had poured her heart into, said that she was just a mere ‘bed partner’.

The self-esteem that she had always been so proud of was stepped on and rubbed against the ground by him. She didn’t even have a fig leaf to conceal her uneasiness that was now being disclosed to everyone present at the scene.
