One Night Surprise

Chapter 394 To Think That We’d Meet Each Other Again in Such a Way

“I wasn’t kidnapped to this place.” Poppy’s voice sounded very croaky in the dark with a note of inexplicable stubbornness. “My cousin got me here to save me from being persecuted by you people.”

“Your cousin?” Courtney’s eyes flickered. “You mean Britney?”

After Poppy’s impersonation of Belle was exposed, Alexander first had Josh find out the woman’s identity and background, but nothing much was found out at the time since James was covering for her in secret. It wasn’t until Oliver returned to the Duncan Family and let out the whole story about Britney afterward that they learned that Poppy was Britney’s cousin.

At the thought of this, Courtney basically figured out who the culprit that had her kidnapped to this place was. After all, she didn’t seem to have any enemies other than Britney. After James fell from power, Britney quickly disappeared from show business and was no longer even mentioned in news tidbits afterward. Don’t tell me she paid someone in desperation to have me die with her! she thought. “Where the hell is this place?”

“Where, you ask?” Poppy stared at Courtney, her eyes suddenly gleaming with madness; her pupils dilated all of a sudden as though she was on drugs. “This is a desert island that no one can find. You’re counting on somebody to come to your rescue? That’s impossible. We’re gonna spend the rest of our lives on the island.”

A desert island? Courtney furrowed her brow. “Why would Britney get you and me on this desert island?”

“You shut up!” Poppy shot her a glare. “Don’t speak of you and me in the same breath. I’m taking refuge here with Britney, whereas you’re a thorn in her flesh!”

Courtney eyed Poppy up and down. Nobody knew how long the woman hadn’t changed her clothes, which were so dirty that their original color was no longer visible. At the sight of this, the look on Courtney’s face instantly became complicated. “Since you weren’t kidnapped like I was, why are you locked in here like I am? Don’t tell me they sent you here to keep a close watch on me.”

Poppy reacted like she was grasping at straws. “That’s right! Britney wants me to keep an eye on

The cabin had only one door and two windows, but the back window was sealed shut. It would make a lot of noise to tear it down, so there was no way she could avoid alerting those out there while doing so. The front window was partially blocked, allowing her to see the yard outside. After much deliberation, Courtney reckoned that the door was the only exit available, but she still had no idea

Poppy since the latter wouldn’t speak to her. Therefore, after doing her observation, she crouched alone in the corner and analyzed her present situation. She was scared, but she believed there

Five men of different sizes burst in, reeking of alcohol. At the sight of Courtney, the man leading them said with a crude laugh, “So this is the lady Fatso and Lil’ Mackaque brought
