Chapter 199 You Don’t Seem Surprised at All

Not every decent lady was raised to be delicate. These days, many wealthy families would advocate for both civil and military skills, especially those with daughters at home. After all, which parent wouldn’t want their daughters to protect themselves?

Courtney drew a deep breath, secretly wondering if Alexander’s ex was just as menacing as she sounded.

Not only was Mikayla’s financial background more impressive than Courtney’s, but she was also highly capable in a fight. She was a sweet girl, but she could also defend herself—she was very versatile. Courtney paled in comparison, so how was she supposed to go into battle with her?

“Afraid?” Alexander glanced at her; his expression was casual. “If you’re afraid, don’t go. I’ll handle this. I can guarantee you that she won’t provoke you anymore.”

“No,” Courtney said resolutely. “I will handle this myself.”

If it were matters of the heart, she would be more than willing to let Alexander handle it. But now, they were talking about Mikayla’s connection to the fire and whether or not she had an accomplice. The mastermind behind this clearly wanted the two children dead, so she wouldn’t be at ease until the matter was resolved.

Seeing that she was so insistent, Alexander didn’t say much more.

“I keep getting the feeling that this has something to do with the person that’s trying to harm Jordan.”

Upon hearing this, Alexander’s head swiveled toward her in the dark. “The person that’s trying to harm Jordan?”

 

“Yes.” Courtney gave one solemn nod. “Don’t tell me that you didn’t know or that you didn’t notice that someone has been actively trying to harm Jordan.”

They had been spending time together for only half a year, but the things that Jordan had encountered were enough to make Courtney’s blood run cold. After so many years, it was impossible for Alexander to not have suspected anything.

Sure enough, he nodded. “I know.”

The car was dimly lit; moonlight spilled in through the sunroof and shone on the narrow space in the back seat, illuminating the grave look on Alexander’s face. “However, it may not be the same person.”
