One Night Surprise

Chapter 288 Do You Want to Know the Truth About Three Years Ago?

Courtney drank her tea with her head down and smiled faintly after listening to Scott’s question. “Jordan is your great-grandson. I believe I do not have a say in it.”

“Good that you know.” Scott harrumphed. “But I feel that if we don’t settle the problem between you and Alexander sooner, the kids will have a hard time getting stuck between the two of you. They don’t need to suffer. Harry has told you everything, right?” He then glanced at Harry, who stood off to one side.

Although Harry remained silent, Courtney’s calm demeanor had said it all.

“Mr. Harry only hopes that I can be the peacemaker of all this. After all, Alexander and you are a family.”

“Do you think you are capable?”

“No,” she answered him openly. “That is why I refused.”

Scott furrowed his brows and his face calmed down a lot more as compared to before. “I also feel that there’s nothing to talk about. For the past few years, I’ve said nothing because I only wanted peace but now, he has really crossed the line.”

“Are you talking about him being together with me against your will?” Courtney went straight to the point. “If I remember correctly, you were the one who was constantly pushing us to be together at the start.”

Scott made himself clear as he stared at her. “If I knew you weren’t divorced, I wouldn’t have brought you and Alexander together.”

“I’ll explain that to you in a while.” Courtney still remained composed as she asked him unhurriedly, “What’s most important now is your relationship with Alexander. Do you want to know the truth about what happened three years ago?”

Scott focused on her. “What did Alexander tell you?”

“He didn’t tell me anything. I found it out myself.” She then opened the file saved on her phone before pushing it on the coffee table toward Scott. “You can take a look yourself. This is the text version of a recording I asked someone to obtain from Jordan’s two maids back then in Elmsbury. I have the actual recording if you want to listen to it but it isn’t here with me.” As Scott read the content on her phone, his expression gradually became tense. “Initially, Sarah and Maria accused a young master of instigating them to use the drug. I also thought that it was Alexander. I guess you obtained the same confession at first but I would like to ask you something.”

“Go ahead.” Scott’s brows frowned.
