"No... It's not necessary."
While a reward of 100 million would certainly be tempting, what Alva truly wanted was Colbert Steele himself… he's worth far more than 100 million.
She shook her head and refused with a gentle smile, "It didn't matter who it was in the car that day. I would have tried to help anyone I saw in danger. And I believe other people would have done the same in that situation. I didn't do it for your money."
"If you don't want the money... You can tell your father to contact my assistant. When it comes to projects, I will prioritize the Baldwin Group as our business partner."
Alva felt her eyebrow twitch. She put on a polite smile as she said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Steele, but it's really not necessary."
Just then, Colbert's phone suddenly rang.
"Excuse me. I need to take this."
Colbert took a glance at the screen and saw it was a call from his assistant, Corey.
"What's the matter?"
"Boss, I'm sorry. Miss Stanford was brought back to the mansion by Madam Steele."
Corey explained the situation.
"Why would Grandmother show up there?"
"I'm not sure..." Corey was also puzzled by how well-informed Madam Steele was, "B-But it seemed that Madam Steele wants you to…to marry Miss Stanford."
Colbert frowned, "Not a chance."
He hung up the phone and stared at the screen, lost in thought.
Alva took this moment to take in his handsome features, sighing inwardly.
Before she came here, her mother had repeatedly told her that she should play the “savior” card well and get Colbert interested in her.
Alva kept her mother's words in mind as she said, "I'm satisfied as long as I see you safe and sound, Mr. Steele."
"Satisfied?"
‘Looks like my efforts today were not in vain after all,’ she thought.
