Chapter 72 Only the Dead Can Keep a Secret

Courtney is the Young Lady of the Hunter Family; how could she possibly end up as somebody’s surrogate?” Britney frowned deeply, looking as though she was struggling to make sense of this. “Besides, if it’s true that Courtney was the surrogate mother, how many children did she give birth to? Why does she have a child with her now?”
• Benjamin adjusted his spectacles while opening the folder calmly. “According to Louis, they caught the wrong person from the nightclub six years ago. They only realized their mistake after everything had been done. Later, the butler, Louis, observed Courtney in secret until she was on the way to the hospital for a surgery. Then, he sent people to stop her because he was trying to make the best out of a bad bargain. He even forced her to sign a contract. Previously, the first child was a boy, and so Louis took him away; it was only later on that he learned from the doctor that there was a daughter too. However, Courtney had taken her away by then. On one end, Louis felt guilty, and on the other, he did not dare call attention to the situation, and so he did not go searching for Courtney again. In fact, he resigned and returned to his hometown soon after that.”
