One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

Nora tentatively smiled at her apologetically. “There’s a reason for this Mrs. Everett, please calm down first.”

“What reason is-”

Courtney knocked the door just in time and interrupted their argument.

As soon as Nora saw her, she quickly stood up to introduce both mothers. “This is Charles and his mother, Mrs. Everett. This is Tina’s mother, Miss Hunter.”

Mrs. Everett glanced at Courtney. “So, you’re Tỉna Hunter’s mother? Why is it that I have never seen you before? Are you originally from Melrose City?”

Courtney frowned. The kids just had a fight, yet the first thing she asks is whether I’m from this city? What is her reasoning?

Although she was slightly confused, she nodded. “Yes, I am.”

Mrs. Everett laughed coldly. “So, you’re a local then? I heard from Nora that you’re a hotel manager?”

Courtney nodded once more.

“How is it possible for a hotel manager to enroll her kids here? I bet you must have done some sneaky things and your kid learned from you. Your entire family is up to no good!”

The woman’s voice was shrill with a sharp and sarcastic tone.

Courtney’s ears buzzed after hearing her accusations. Then, she clenched her fists and retorted, “Mrs. Everett, I know that Tina is wrong in this matter, but you shouldn’t speak like this, should you? Just because I’m a hotel manager means I can’t cond my kids here? What logic is this?”

“Do you want me to say it out loud: wirs. Everett looked at her in contempt. “I’m sure everyone here knows about having an easy job when you are young.”

Courtney’s face darkened, but she could not be bothered to argue. Through gritted teeth, she responded, “They are different matters. Why don’t you just tell me how you would like to resolve this? Whether it’s medical bills or mental health compensation, I can afford it.”

A tall figure loomed at the office door while the low voice rang from a corner, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Alexander held Jordan’s hands as he nonchalantiy walked toward them. When he looked at Mrs. Everett, he slightly raised his chin with eyes that were full of apathy and arrogance. “The Everett Group doesn’t have such a huge influence on Sapphire Kindergarten, does it, Mrs. Everett?”

As soon as Mrs. Everett saw Alexander, her expression immediately changed. “P-P-President Duncan, w-w why are you here today?”

“I heard that my son landed himself in trouble, so I’m here to have a look. After all, I have to apologize for his mishap. Isn’t that so?”

“He landed himself into trouble?” She gave an apologetic smile. “Your son is so obedient. How could he have gotten into trouble?”

Jordan raised his head to glare at her before he moved toward Courtney’s side.

“You have been here for so long and scolded others for the same amount of time. Mrs. Everett, don’t you know why your son was beaten up today?” Alexander coldly looked at Mrs. Everett. “I wonder who taught him to say that ‘kids who have no mothers are b*stards’ in front of Jordan.”
