One Night Surprise Chapter 333

Chapter 333 My Mom Would Never Have an Affair

The distant look in Courtney’s eyes made Oliver wriggle in discomfort. Then, he tightly clenched his fist and decided to reveal everything after hesitating for a while. “Okay. Courtney, if you trust me, can you follow me somewhere?”

“Where do you want to go?”

“Once you arrive there, you’ll understand what I’ve done all these years to approach the Duncans. You’ll have all your answers there.”

As a result of the snowfall, it caused the roads in Melrose City to be muddy. She drove carefully and entered a housing estate that was close to the Public Security University campus. Then, she alighted from the car and trailed behind him, after which they took the stairs and entered a unit on the fourth floor.

It was a studio unit that came with bare furnishings. Apart from the bed and a study table, the room was filled with stacks of books, which were scattered all over the floor. However, there was a shelf on the wall that contained files and journals with labels on them.

“This was my home when I previously worked as a private investigator.” Oliver yanked off the blanket that covered the bed and instantly, there was dust all over the place. “I haven’t been back here in ages, though.”

Then, Courtney looked around the place. Indeed, there was a thick layer of dust in the room and it looked like it had been empty for at least half a year. Furthermore, it was also likely that no one had set foot inside for the longest time ever.

“That bookshelf there contains all the information that I collected on the Duncans. If you go by sequence from the left to right, you’ll see everything that I have gathered since I was thirteen. My mom has never mentioned a word about the Duncans, so this came from my own investigation.”

Upon hearing those words, she was significantly stunned and hesitantly walked toward the bookshelf. Then, she randomly selected a hardback journal from the shelf. The date on the journal itself showed that it had been recorded three years ago when he enrolled in university as a freshman.

The first page of the journal was a newspaper clipping where it read, ‘The chief executive officer of Sunhill Enterprise—James Duncan—has stepped down from his position, paving the way for the only son of the Duncan Family—Alexander Duncan—to be his successor.’
