One Night Surprise

Chapter 267 A Perfect Plan?

“In your eyes, not only is Courtney Lucian’s daughter, but she is also the Young Lady of the Hunter Family and the legal beneficiary of Hunter Group. However, the prerequisite for enjoying all these titles is the opportunity for her to be treated fairly by the Hunter Family.”

Alicia’s strong and powerful voice silenced the rest of the reporters at once.

“How do you think the Hunter Group was founded? Do you think Lucian built it from scratch? He merely depended on his ex-wife’s family. After his business became successful, he dumped his wife who stuck with him through thick and thin. On the day that Courtney was born, her mother passed away as she lost a lot of blood during delivery. Use your brains for a moment—how would a mistress who finally chased the wife away treat Courtney? Courtney has shares in Hunter Group? Just how great do you think humanity is?”

Hurt and pain were apparent in her voice as she spoke about Courtney’s miserable life, which she had witnessed all those years. From a young age, Courtney was with her grandfather. When he died, she was callously sent to Lucian’s family because Alicia did not want her to be pampered. The harsher the environment, the more her will could be trained. Alicia’s worst fear for Courtney—Cecilia’s daughter—was for her to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Hence, she did not want to raise Courtney as a young lady who did not know the harsh realities of the world. Alicia would rather Courtney hate her in the future as long as she knew how to protect herself.

After ten years in the Hunter Family, Courtney did not disappoint Alicia at all. She had great achievements—she managed to enroll in the best medical university in Melrose City.

“Apart from having the title as the Second Young Lady of the Hunter Family, she did not experience any treatment that matched the title. Ask yourselves—why would you expect a young woman like Courtney, who’s in her twenties, to take responsibility for a company that’s going bankrupt for the people who were never kind to her at all?”

Upon listening to Alicia’s words, the reporters below the stage awkwardly looked at each other as they were unable to answer the question. Truth be told, not many among them knew about Courtney’s complicated relationship with the Hunter Family. In fact, they even thought she was Lucian and Susan’s daughter—based on the pictures that were exposed and her appearance at Anna’s funeral.

Everyone took it for granted that Courtney was a pampered young lady raised in the Hunter Family, which was why everyone thought she had to take responsibility for the Hunter Group. After all, they discovered that she had many assets under her name.
