One Night Surprise

Chapter 235 After Being Gone for Three Years, I’m Rising Again

Looking at Tobias’ perverted smile, Britney felt utterly revolted and cursed him inwardly, but she kept a warm smile on her face, appearing highly respectful. “Mr. Crane, from what I know about Courtney, you can’t approach her too directly. You have to…”

After listening to Britney’s suggestion, Tobias nodded thoughtfully. “That’s not a bad idea. If this works out, I’ll get you whatever you want, Britney. Just say the word.”

Britney laughed. “Isn’t that what you’ve always been doing?”

As she watched Tobias leave, she emptied her champagne glass in one gulp, a sinister gleam shining in her eyes. She had been feeling a little dejected lately, so it was entertaining to finally have something to do.

Just as she was setting down her champagne glass, a familiar voice spoke from behind her. “Miss Price, it’s been a while.”

Britney’s back stiffened. As soon as she turned around and saw the man in the suit behind her, her expression changed. “What are you doing here?”

“Should I not be here?” As usual, the man’s gentle expression was mixed with a hint of malice. “It seems that your schedule has been so full lately that you’re not even aware of Melrose City’s current affairs, Miss Price. The tides have turned, didn’t you hear?”

Britney’s face hardened. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“My new name card. Keep in touch?”

A golden card was handed to Britney; the gilded words on it were particularly eye-catching. She couldn’t help but read the words aloud. “CEO of Sunhill Enterprise, James Duncan… You…”

“I may not be talented, but after being gone for three years, I’m rising again.”

James’ eyes twinkled coldly. “I must say; you seem quite desperate now, Miss Price. Even an unworthy playboy like Tobias has caught your eye?”

Britney paled visibly upon hearing this. “He’s just a pastime.”
