One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Would You Like to Consider My Mother?

“Old Master Duncan, I don’t think this has got anything to do with Miss Price.” The housekeeper frowned uncomfortably.

“Why? How are you sure that she has got nothing to do with it?” Scott knitted his brows.

“Miss Price was in Young Master’s room when Little Master got into an accident. When the maids rushed into the room, she saw the two of them on the bed together.” The housekeeper tried his best to explain the situation without feeling embarrassed.

Scott was furious to hear this, and he slammed his palm against the rosewood table. “How shameless,” he hissed coldly. He had never liked Britney; even if he were to disregard her other flaws, just the number of scandals and gossip that she had been involved in throughout the years gave him enough reason to dislike her. Furthermore, he had run a background check on Britney when Alexander first brought her home six years ago—he found out that she had been a waitress serving alcohol in a club before she managed to squeeze her way up to the top of the entertainment industry. She couldn’t have managed to achieve so much if she was simply given some opportunities in the field; she must have been greedy enough to work her way up there.

“Should I continue looking into this matter, Old Master Duncan?” the housekeeper asked. Scott took a long, deep breath as he gazed at the housekeeper thoughtfully. “No. There’s something else I need you to do.”

 

That night, Tina wouldn’t stop talking on the way home after Courtney picked her up from the hospital. Courtney was getting a headache from all the noise. “Mr. Alexander is handsome, rich and funny. You’ve got yourself a keeper this time, Mommy!”

“Shut up.” Courtney pulled her house keys out to open the door as she rolled her eyes at her daughter. She dragged Tina into the house and took her shoes off as she continued to disagree with Tina’s statement. “He’s decent-looking, but he isn’t stunningly handsome, right? He’s not as handsome as Shay, is he?”

 

Tina frowned and widened her eyes upon hearing her mother’s words. “Of course not. Shay is a superstar; he’s the most handsome man in the world. I’m going to marry him.”
