One Night Surprise

Chapter 523 You Guys Conspired

The rain went on for three more days, filling the air with humidity. When Courtney woke up and heard the sound of rain outside, she pulled the curtains open. A frown furrowed her brows. The sky was overcast, and she had no idea what time it was. Frustration welled up within her. She changed into new clothes and went into the dining room. Alexander and Jordan were reading the finance news of the day.

Tina changed into her school uniform and came downstairs. She noticed the extra plate on the table, and she asked, “Is Grandma back?”

She looked into the kitchen and was about to go in when Alexander said, “It’s Oliver.”

Courtney was having her milk, and she cocked her eyebrow and looked at Alexander. The guy was burying his face in the newspaper. “I thought he was helping the police arrest some criminals at the border. They’ve already arrested those folks?”

“Yeah. He’s on leave now.” Alexander flipped the newspaper absentmindedly. Courtney was surprised that Oliver told Alexander before her that he was coming back.

She took the newspapers from Alexander and Jordan’s hands. “You can read these after you have your breakfast.”

The men looked at each other sheepishly while the maid took the chance to serve them breakfast. Tina wiped her mouth and went upstairs before coming back down, saddling her bag behind her. “It’s my turn to clean the class today. The driver will take me to school, so I won’t be following you guys.”

She went to the porch and changed her shoes in a hurry. A maid handed an umbrella to her, and she was about to take it, but Alexander shot the porch a look and said gently, “You don’t have to go to school for a while, Tina.””

“What?” The umbrella slipped out of Tina’s hands and fell to the ground. She looked at Alexander, apparently upset. “I told you I’m not going to Sunhill.”

before, Alexander suddenly suggested that Tina quit school and start work at Sunhill. He looked adamant and she had to throw a big tantrum before he gave up. He’s gonna bring that up again? Annoyed, she tried to go out, but the girl bumped
