I Saved A Mystery Billionaireac (Eudora) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Colbert Seeks Revenge!

"She is Alva." Colbert added.

When Eudora heard the name, her mind went blank for a moment.

She looked at Alva, who also happened to raise her head and look at Eudora.

The two sisters locked eyes, both unable to hide their surprise, thinking:

'Why her?'

'Why is she here?'

"My! Isn't this the talented and beautiful Miss Alva from the Baldwins? How on earth could you get her to pretend to be your girlfriend?"

Apparently, Madam Steele wasn’t easily fooled.

"Good evening, Madam." Alva politely greeted Belinda.

"I had an accident a week ago, and Alva saved me,” Colbert explained. “When she rescued me from the car, I gave her our family's ancestral ring. Surely you know what this ring represents, Grandmother."

He raised his left hand to show the black diamond ring.

Eudora saw the ring and suddenly remembered… No wonder she found a ring in her pocket right after she saved Colbert that night!

But the next day, after Alva's visit, Eudora couldn't find that ring.

‘Alva must have known that the ring belonged to Colbert and took it!’

Eudora stood up. "That ring is…"

"Eudora, why are you here? I didn't expect to meet you here."

Alva suppressed her immense shock and quickly grabbed Colbert's wrist, "Eudora, this is the person I told you about! The one I risked my life to save."

Then, she turned to Colbert. "Colbert, this is Eudora, a friend I met while doing food delivery."

Eudora couldn’t believe the nonsense coming out of her sister’s mouth.

For a moment, she really wanted to tear the disgusting mask off Alva’s face and reveal her lies, but she thought better of it.

The only solid thing that could prove she saved Colbert was the ring.

But Alva, who could steal the ring and trick Colbert, must have made thorough preparations to take her place, including erasing any surveillance camera footage.

If Eudora were to accuse Alva now, she wouldn't have any evidence to back herself up. She might even bring trouble upon herself. ‘Better wait and watch the situation.’

"Is that so?"

Colbert narrowed his eyes, his gaze became even deeper as he examined Eudora.

"What a coincidence to meet you here, Eudora! Do you know Colbert, too?" Alva remembered that Colbert mentioned his grandmother arranging a marriage for him.

‘Could Eudora be the one he was going to marry?’

‘But how could she know anyone from the Steeles?’

Alva felt uneasy inside.

Eudora didn’t want to deal with her sister, a professional liar. She turned to Belinda, "Madam Steele, since Mr. Colbert already has a girlfriend, I believe I can take my leave now."

She was testing Madam Steele's attitude, so she could make her next move accordingly.

In the face of the powerful and ruthless Colbert, as well as the Baldwins who constantly used her foster parents as a threat against her, Eudora had to be cautious.

Seeing her turn to leave, Belinda stood up and grabbed Eudora's hand. "Not so fast, child. Stay with us for a bit more, okay?"

Belinda pulled Eudora to sit down on a chair, then sternly said to her grandson, "You brat, come with me! We need to have a talk."

"Yes, Grandmother." Colbert followed Belinda into another more private room. He gave Eudora a meaningful look as he passed her by.

With a creak, the door to the room closed.

Alva couldn't hold back her anger any longer. She approached Eudora in hastened steps and whispered, "You bitch! I can’t believe you—"

Slap! Slap!

Before Alva could finish, Eudora slapped Alva twice on the face, "What else can you do other than insulting me all day? Oh, right, you can also steal stuff and play innocent. Isn’t that right, sister?"

Alva didn't expect Eudora to react so quickly. Before she could do anything, Eudora had already slapped her twice, making her ears ring.

Alva was angry, but she couldn't fight Eudora here.

"Don't call me sister. Shut up!" Alva gritted her teeth, enduring the pain in her cheeks. She lowered her voice, "But you were smart enough not to speak up just now. Otherwise, you'd need to get coffins ready for your foster parents!"

"Heh." Eudora smirked, "After saving Mr. Steele, he promised a 100-million-dollar reward. I'll give you a 50% discount. 50 million, as hush money. Otherwise, when Mr. Steele finds out the truth, as your sister, I may have to get a coffin ready for you."
