One Night Surprise

Chapter 502 The Nightstalker

“Courtney, you’re awake!”

Staring at her, Cameron had a hint of happiness before it was replaced with anger as she crossed her arms and chided Courtney. “I thought we had agreed to wait for Alexander to return before discussing. Why did you run off by yourself just as I happened to doze off? You were lucky this time. If anything else happened, then I would’ve died with you!”

Waking up to hear Cameron scolding her like this, Courtney blinked somewhat innocently with her pale lips.

“I’m sorry, Cameron. I was wrong.”

As Alexander coughed lightly, he glanced at Cameron impatiently before saying, “You’re a bit loud.”

“I—”

In disbelief, a livid Cameron then pointed at her own nose.

“Nothing would’ve happened if you hadn’t dozed off,” he added calmly.

“Alexander Duncan, are you trying to find excuses for your wife right now?

He did not reply to this.

Since Courtney saw that the situation was worsening and felt that it might escalate, she quickly changed the subject before Cameron lost her cool.

“Even though I did pay the price, it’s not like I didn’t gain anything either. I saw Raymond in the park too. Looks like this person is involved in this whole mess.”

Thinking back, Courtney then started to piece together some incidents that did not seem to be correlated, such as the reason for Raymond’s sudden appearance at the press conference to criticize her company and the fact that Jimmy was also adopted by the World Vision Orphanage.

As she recalled all these, she gripped Alexander’s hand while speaking in a hurry, “I think that Tina’s disappearance might have something to do with him.”

Nodding, Alexander stood up to arrange the pillow for her to sit up gently before reassuring her, “Just let me handle this. Before you recover, I’ll handle everything for you.”

He did not scold her, and he did not even show her a hint of anger either.

However, this only served to make Courtney feel even more guilty as Tina was on her mind when she went out this afternoon. Even though Courtney had promised not long ago to be by his side forever and for always, she did not consider Alexander’s disposition one bit.
