One Night Surprise

Chapter 311 Will This Work?

Meanwhile, a woman in a white fur coat had been waiting for a long while inside a booth at a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant’s interior was carefully designed to evoke a certain atmosphere.

Courtney’s smile slowly froze over the moment the waiter opened the door to the booth.

“This is Belle Smith.” Alexander introduced the woman before glancing at her. “And this is my fiancee, Courtney Hunter.”

Belle got up from the tatami she had been sitting on and smiled at Courtney. “Nice to meet you.”

Courtney squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than a crying face. “Nice to meet you too.”

Nevertheless, Alexander didn’t notice the look on Courtney’s face as he pulled her over to take a seat.

Courtney took in Belle’s appearance. Compared to her view from a distance last night, she found it far easier to survey Belle up close. Belle was a pretty woman. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and tiny little strawberries were printed on her white fur coat. She looked at Courtney with a somewhat bashful smile. “I’ve been hearing from Mr. Duncan about how beautiful his fiancee is. Now that I’m meeting you in person, I’m truly in awe.”

Courtney wasn’t swayed by this. In fact, she felt a little repulsed. She simply sized Belle up, waiting for Alexander or Belle to speak. Anyone would feel awkward after several seconds of silence, so at last, Alexander spoke up. “Belle is a child psychologist. I wanted to ask her a few things about Jordan.”

Courtney rolled the hem of her blouse between her fingers under the table. “Really? A child psychologist? Didn’t you say before that you got in touch with a German psychologist? Are you from Germany, Miss Smith?” Her tone had an aggressive touch to it. Both Alexander and Belle tensed up at that.

After a moment of contemplation, Alexander seemingly came to a realization, his forehead wrinkling up almost imperceptibly.
