Chapter 3 A Reward of 100 Million Dollars

Belinda turned around, her severe expression instantly easing into a benign smile as she walked up to

Eudora. "You're Eudora?"

Eudora disliked Colbert, and she felt nothing toward Belinda. Still, she asked out of courtesy, "What can

I do for you, madam?"

Belinda's smile broadened into a cheerful grin at the word 'madam.'

"Your looks are average, but you've got quite a smooth tongue.

Eudora was born with beautiful and perfect skin, so she made a special effort to make her skin look

bad, thicken her eyebrows with makeup, and add a lot of freckles to her face. As a result, she did look

quite plain at first glance.

Belinda took Eudora's hand affectionately, saying, "Young lady, I'm old, and I just want to have a great-

grandchild. I've looked into your background, so I know your parents are being hospitalized. You're a

nice kid who works part-time after work to earn money to support your family. As long as you're willing

to bear a child for our family, I'll agree to whatever terms you wish."

Eudora's eyes widened; she shook off Belinda's hand as if she had gotten an electric shock. "No, no,

no, madam. I know you want to have a great-grandchild, but this is a family matter for you guys. I've

got absolutely nothing to do with it."

‘Are you kidding me? This is a bit too hasty. Don't tell me I'm gonna have to bear a child for the Steele

Family just because I have slept with Colbert. What does that make of me, huh?’

Meanwhile, Alva arrived at Alimen Restaurant, but it wasn't until half an hour after she arrived that

Colbert turned up.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Colbert walked in, dressed in a black shirt paired with a silvery-gray and white striped suit. With his

matchless good-looking features, he oozed seductive charm with only a slight curl of his thin lips,

causing Alva's heart to go pit-a-pat and her eyes to glaze over slightly.

Alva had seen Colbert on TV before. At this very moment, however, she felt that the broad-shouldered

and slender man before her was exuding the regal air of a noble prince through his every pore while

giving off a chilly vibe that would keep any strangers away. Restraining herself despite her fluttering

heart, she stood up and nodded gently out of courtesy. "It's okay, Young Master Colbert. You're

punctual; I'm the one who was early."

Sitting across the table from Alva, Colbert shot a glance at her before withdrawing his gaze. "What

would you like to eat?"

Alva had little makeup on today and was wearing the latest dress from Dior, paired with Gucci's limited-

edition earrings and necklace. She looked very gorgeous, but Colbert, who was already used to seeing

all kinds of beautiful women, found such "materialistic" beauty vulgar.

"Feel free to order whatever you please, Young Master Colbert. I'm fine with anything."

"Uh-huh." Colbert pressed the call button on the table. NôvelDrama.Org content.

A waiter immediately entered the private room, upon which Colbert ordered two servings of the

restaurant's most expensive lunch set and a bottle of red wine. Sitting cross-legged with his back

leaning against his chair, he fixed Alva with a piercing stare, asking, "Since you're the daughter of the

Baldwin Group's owner, why were you in the suburbs that day?" He had done a background check on

Alva and learned about her family background after returning to his office.

Alva's heart clenched at once. Clenching her fists uneasily with a bitter smile, she replied, "To tell you

the truth, I was doing food delivery because my dad wanted me to see the world. He wanted to see

whether I can bear hardships to decide whether or not I can take over his company."

She already had these words down pat long ago. Back when Colbert asked to meet her a week later,

she had told her parents about the whole situation. Having expected Colbert to ask such a question,

they went out of their way to learn about where the car accident had happened and what Eudora had

done by having someone check the surveillance footage of Eudora sending Colbert to the hospital the

other day.

In order to avoid arousing the man's suspicion, Alva really did food delivery for a week, not to mention

how many grievances she had suffered during that time.

Colbert nodded. "Your dad's idea is pretty nice. It's a good thing to see the world."

"Yeah, I think what my dad did is great too."

"Give me your bank account number. I'll have the finance department wire 100 million to you

tomorrow."

Alva didn't understand what Colbert meant by talking about money all of a sudden. "What?"

"You risked your life to save me that day. The money's your compensation."
