One Night Surprise

Chapter 500 This Is Illegal

Hearing Alexander’s words, Susan stopped for a second before laughing openly. Her shrill tone reverberated throughout the living room, making everyone’s hair stand on end.

“Do you mean to say that brat, Tina, has gone missing? Why have you come to poor old Susan when the Duncans lost their child? Did you think that I would kill her as a replacement for Anna’s life? She’s not worthy!”

Leaning against the staircase railing, Susan trembled slightly. These past five years had thoroughly taught her how tragic it was to be alone; the moment before her daughter fell was still imprinted in her mind, with her failing to forget about it no matter how hard she tried.

She had thought of making Courtney lose something of equal value, but every time Susan would remember what Alexander said to her on the top floor of the Sunrise Enterprise the day Sunhill signed the takeover contract. As a result, Susan could only dispel such ideas again and again.

The rage within Alexander finally manifested itself under Susan’s instigation. He snatched the printed screenshots and threw them coldly at her face. As the living room was slowly covered with papers, Susan glanced at some of them and suddenly turned pale.

“Do you have anything to say for yourself?”

The cold gaze staring right into her soul pulled her back to five years ago. Back then, Alexander had her stand on the tethering edge of the top floor while nonchalantly adjusting his cufflinks.

“I think you know best whether Mr. Hunter died of sickness or not. If you don’t want to die a dog’s death like Anna, I can also arrange for you to live the rest of your life in prison.”

“I’ve already agreed to sell Sunrise to your enterprise. What more do you want?”

“Leave Courtney alone. If I get wind of you approaching anybody close to her, consider yourself dead.”

When Susan snapped back from the frightful memory, her knees wobbled as she barely managed to stand straight. Looking again at the group of people in black, she did not dare to be as arrogant as before.

Wiping away the sweat from her forehead, she avoided Alexander’s gaze and looked toward the floorboards of the living room, saying, “Yesterday, it was Tina, that little wench, who followed me. It was after a while that I discovered what she was up to, but I only sent her away and did nothing to her.”

“Didn’t you purposefully lure Tina into an empty alley without surveillance? After that, your car then shortly drove away from the said alley. How dare you say that she wasn’t in your car!”

Alexander rushed forward and choked Susan. The rage within him caused him to tighten his grip until she was rolling her eyes and kicking her feet all over. Seeing this, Eric quickly went up and stopped him.

Panting, Susan shook her head vehemently. “I did not. I only rendered her unconscious. I then drove away after that…”
