One Night Surprise

Chapter 321 Believe and Protect Her

The contract for the transfer of the shares had been drafted, and James placed the two documents in front of her. “As long as you sign the documents, I’ll pretend that I’ve never seen the photos and all of these never happened today.”

The lounge fell into a long silence.

James had been wearing a slight smile the whole time as he looked at Courtney with contempt and sarcasm in his eyes, as if he had full control over the entire situation. This woman is nothing special after all.

After a long while, Courtney picked up the pen and put her signature at the signing page. She had to use the other hand to hold her wrist to stop her hand from trembling, as if the pen was as heavy as lead.

James took the two documents from her hands and quickly put down his own signature. After placing one of the documents on the table, he tapped on it twice. “I’ll transfer the money to your account after I sort out the cash flow. You don’t mind, do you?”

In other words, she wouldn’t get even a single cent. Upon hearing that, Courtney gritted her teeth so hard that they were nearly crushed to pieces.

“Do as you please.” With the indecent photos in his hands, she was no different from a sitting duck. There was nothing she could do other than complying to his demands.

“It was a pleasure working with you.” The corner of James’ lips etched upward into his usual wicked smile as he said that.

In the evening, at the Duncans’ villa in Westpark, Josh placed a stack of documents on the desk in the study. “President Duncan, I’ve investigated the entire incident. The lady named Belle Smith is not a child psychologist. Her credentials belong to someone else and that person does not go with this name.”

Alexander’s expression fell. “Carry on.”

“Her name is Poppy Wallace. She was a factory worker for a clothing factory in Melrose City. Two months ago, she suddenly quit her job. The other factory workers said that she seemed to have found herself a rich man. After that, when I found her, she was taking care of her husband in a hospital.”
