One Night Surprise Chapter 373

Chapter 373 What Grounds Do You Have to Negotiate With Me?

The stagnant air in the bathroom became extremely humid.

The faint musk of sweat accompanied with Courtney’s broken and painful moans created a sorrowful ambience in the small space.

The sounds of security guards banging on the door, as well as the sound of passersby stopping and whispering from the other side of the thin bathroom door, was frantically stabbing into Courtney’s eardrums.

Her consciousness began to fade; with the man’s hoarse grunts, a new, sharper pain—one that exceeded the countless previous ones—stabbed into her already numb lower body. Her pupils contracted, and she raised her neck high up as a scream tried to escape her throat.

“I will give you whatever you want, but you will never see Jordan again. As for your daughter, since you’ve signed the contract at the beginning, it doesn’t matter how many children you have—they won’t have anything to do with you.”

Alexander fastened his belt and stared at her coldly, letting her slip off the sink like a broken, lifeless toy.

“No.” Her voice was low, and she gritted her teeth before making the final broken sound. “Don’t you dare lay a finger on Tina.”

She used her remaining strength to pull up her clothes as she staggered against the wall and stood up, albeit shakily, while looking at Alexander with an ashen face; it was as pale as dying embers.

“Alexander, I’m begging you. I don’t want Jordan anymore. I’ll take Tina with me, and I’ll never appear in front of you again.”

“What right could you possibly have to even think of negotiating with me?”

As they spoke, a loud bang bounced off the walls of the bathroom as the door was smashed open by the security guards. Immediately, a group of people rushed in, and when they entered, they were surprised to see Courtney and Alexander standing about and talking civilly.

“On today’s news, a customer at Pinnacle Shopping Center had called the police, claiming that a man had broken into the women’s restroom. The security personnel arrived soon after and realized the restroom was locked…”

Back at the Duncan Residence, Oliver was answering the phone, and the live news broadcast on the TV was playing in the background. As he was facing away from the TV, he did not see the mosaic of the familiar figure on the screen.
