One Night Surprise Chapter 234
Chapter 234 Two Rivals See Red the Moment They Meet
Courtney was taken by surprise. “They belong to Sunhill?”
“Yes.” Bill turned around and began to sketch down some designs on the ckboard. “In the early
years, Sunhill Enterprise’s clothingpany was involved in a scandal. After suffering damage to its
reputation, the entire clothingpany went bankrupt and was liquidated. Later, they wanted to join the
clothing industry again, but the impact of the previous damage was still fresh, so they could only give
thepany a name that seemed to have nothing to do with Sunhill.”
If they thought about it, it was just a way to clear the air and confuse the public.

Usually, most people wouldn’t think to find out whichpany was the main source of the product they
were buying. Sunhill Enterprise had used this practice to their advantage and managed to form a new
clothingpany.
This thought didn’t even cross Courtney’s mind. If it wasn’t for Bill, she would have thought that the
company called Ivory Apparel and Designs was just another ipetent business.
“Even if they’re under Sunhill, we still have to report them. At the very least, we must let them know that
we’re not someone to be messed with,” Courtney said with a frown.
So what if the matter was rted to Alexander? She found it ridiculous that apany as dignified as
Sunhill Enterprise would profit off such an unseemly clothingpany.
Bill gave a nomittal raise of his eyebrow. “It’s up to you. We won’t be producing the clothes from
the previous season anymore anyway. If they want to copy, they can only copy the outdated outfits.”
Obviously, Bill didn’t bother with these imitations. After all, elites didn’t busy themselves with mundane
affairs. It was normal for him to be unwilling to argue with others about such trivialities.
Courtney, on the other hand, could never turn a blind eye to misconduct, so she ordered her assistant
to arrange for amercialwyer to send a letter of demand to thepanies that imitated their
creations, including Ivory Apparel and Designs.
On Friday night, Courtney flew to Shanghai to attend a business banquet.
Her purpose was clear. Among those who attended the reception, the general manager of Sakura
Group’s eastern branch was one of them. Sakura Group wanted to order a batch of staff uniforms, and
this man was responsible for this matter. If her efforts were sessful, she would be walking away with
an order worth one hundred million. It would be a great help to Citron Apparel’s early stages in the
market.
At the cocktail party, the elites of Shanghai and Melrose City’s clothingpanies could be seen at
every corner.
Courtney got to know about the party through Le Marshall, the chief editor of Shanghai’s beauty and
fashion magazine, VV. Elijah had introduced her to Courtney before he left Melrose City.
Le was an utterly straightforwarddy. The manner in which she spoke and acted was as swift as the
wind. “Mr. Graham has helped me multiple times in the past. I knew that he was married, but I didn’t
expect his wife to be so young.”
Courtney smiled and went along with her, not borating on her rtionship with Elijah.
There was no need to exin much about her and Elijah’s situation to irrelevant parties, and it was
hard to rify anyway.
Le brought her around the party and got her acquainted with a number of other guests before
bringing her to Dominic Willis, the general manager of Sakura Group.
“President Willis, this is President Hunter of Citron Apparel that I told you about on the phone.”
Courtney stretched out her hand. “Nice to meet you, President Willis.”
“Nice to meet you too.” Dominic politely shook her hand, appearingpletely at ease.
Evidently, Le had given him a brief introduction of Courtney’spany prior to the banquet;
otherwise, he would have been asking about why he had never heard of Citron Apparel before.
“President Willis, it’s a little noisy here. Why don’t we go over there to have a chat?” Courtney took the
initiative to strike up a conversation with Dominic. She was a businesswoman after all, and no one
came to the reception looking to rx. They were all here to engage in business interactions, so she
might as well be more direct.
Dominic briskly agreed.
With Le tagging along, the three of them moved to the lounge of the banquet hall.
At a corner in the banquet hall, a lithe figure holding a champagne ss was watching Courtney,
seemingly lost in thought. Her eyes were sparkling with a dark gleam.
“Hey there, prettydy. What are you doing here all alone? Don’t you have anyone to apany you?”
A man’s voice sounded from beside her.
Britney cast the man a sideways nce.
The voice belonged to Tobias Crane, Shanghai’s famous yboy. He had been pursuing her for more
than two years now, and he was extremely willing to spend money on her. But, he always had women
around him, and she was still pining for Alexander, so she never really gave him a second thought.
If anything, he was just a diversion for when she was bored.
As a matter of fact, she was just feeling bored when he approached her. He was the one who invited
her to tonight’s reception, and it just so happened that she was in Shanghai shooting an advertisement.
She had some spare time, and she was bored, so she agreed to attend.
“That’s right.” Britneyughed. “Someone invited me to be his guest but ditched me as soon as the
party started to flirt with other girls. Doesn’t that leave me without apanion?”
“Whoever it is, he must be blind. How could there be anyone at this party more attractive than you?”
Tobias was a true sweet talker; he didn’t even hesitate to insult himself.
ying along, Britney chuckled, then pointed with her delicate finger. “There; that woman over there is
rather good-looking. Her beauty isparable to mine.”
“How could that be?” Tobias said while casually looking in the direction she was pointing at. When he
caught sight of Courtney, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.
If Britney was an ice cube, then the woman standing in the distance dressed in a burgundy halter neck
evening gown was a ball of fire. Her long, wavy hair hung loosely across her shoulders, and the young
woman’s mature charm carried with it a rare sense of purity.
Who’s this rare beauty?
Tobias figured that there was an eighty percent chance this woman was one of the boss’ mistress.
“Can’t take your eyes off of her, can you, Mr. Crane?” Britney teased from beside him, but her eyes
glinted darker. “If you like her, judging from your charm, it shouldn’t be a problem to take her to bed
tonight, right?”
Coming back to his senses, Tobias shook his head. “Forget it. I’m not walking into the lion’s den; I’m
not looking for trouble. That’s Sakura Group’s general manager, Dominic Willis. I don’t have the guts to
mess with his girl.”
“I don’t think that’s the case,” Britney said, acting doubtful. “That woman is Courtney Hunter. I know her.
She came with Le Marshall, the chief editor of VV. It looks like Le is making business introductions.
I don’t think Courtney has ever met President Willis prior to this.”
“Really? Business? What business?”
“A clothingpany that she just started. Courtney is Alexander’s ex-girlfriend. She started her
business after they broke up. It seems like she has rather good connections; she’ll be a good match for
a nobleman like you.”
Tobias liked the sound of this, and he couldn’t help but look at Courtney a couple more times.
“You said that she’s Alexander’s ex-girlfriend, right? Aren’t you his ex as well? It’s normal for rivals to
see red the moment they meet. Do you want me to take revenge for you?”
“I guess it’s out of the question.” Britney took azy sip of her champagne. “Alexander and I haven’t
had any contact in a long time. As for Courtney, I had some grudges against herst time. But, rather
than taking revenge, I’m just hoping that you can have a good time tonight.”
Tobias enjoyed being ttered, and Britney’s words were particrly pleasant to his ears. He was
bursting with joy. “Don’t worry, Britney. Since you’re being so thoughtful of me, while I enjoy myself
tonight, I’ll also punish her on your behalf.”
