I Saved A Mystery Billionaireac (Eudora) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Attempted Murder

"He's not home. Come back later," Yvette replied, not wanting to waste any more words with Eudora. She reached out to close the door.

But Eudora pushed the door open and walked in.

"What do you think you're doing?! Get out! Now!" Yvette exclaimed.

"Mom, who is it?" Alva came down from upstairs. Her face was immediately full of disgust when she saw Eudora. "This is my house, Eudora! What are you doing here?"

They were Eudora's family, but they just hated her so much.

Eudora felt a pain in her heart, but she still remained calm on the surface. "Relax. I just want my reward for saving Mr. Steele."

Yvette laughed. "Alva is the one who saved Mr. Steele! What does it have to do with you?"

Even though Eudora was also her daughter, Yvette, who had always lived a privileged life, still looked down on Eudora because she grew up in the countryside.

Yvette always felt that Eudora was arrogant, unreasonable, and without any manners.

If other people were to find out about Eudora's existence, it would likely ruin the perfect image that Yvette and Alva had built.

Eudora glanced at Yvette and then at Alva, smiling. "You two really are mother and daughter, both capable of lying perfectly. I'm truly impressed by how shameless you are."

"Shut up!" Alva scolded. She really didn't want to see Eudora, "Mommy, she's here for money. Just give her 50 thousand and kick her out."

"Hmph, you're right." Yvette nodded. "I'll go upstairs and get it for her right away."

"Great! Since you are so generous, why not give me 100 million for saving Mr. Steele? Then I will leave you alone."

"Eudora, don't be too greedy!" Alva glared at her, "We can give you 100 thousand, at most."

"Yes, we will give you 100 thousand, and you leave the city immediately. The Steeles will only see Alva as the one who saved Colbert. You can't prove that it was you, anyway." Yvette said.

"Do you think deleting the camera footage and stealing the ring is enough to stop me from proving the truth? I have a record on the food delivery platform showing that I passed by that intersection when the accident happened."

Eudora shook her phone at them and continued, "Although this record cannot prove that I saved Colbert, Alva doesn't even have such a record. Don't you think Colbert would be suspicious? But I don't want to get involved in this mess anymore, so I'd rather help Alva get what she wants."

In fact, because Eudora had to save Colbert, she couldn’t deliver that particular order to her customer, so there was no record showing that she passed that intersection.

That was also the reason why she didn't refute Alva's lie in front of Colbert.

Even so, this was enough to intimidate the Baldwins.

"You…" Alva didn't expect Eudora to have other evidence. She was afraid that Eudora would expose her in front of Colbert, "How much money do you want?"

"In consideration of Mrs. Baldwin giving birth to me, I'll give you a discount. Just give me 10 million."

"10 million?! That's impossible." Yvette scoffed.

Alva also said, "Eudora, you are insane."

A bumpkin like Eudora actually dared to blackmail them!

She was being too defensive after all… Maybe she had overthought.

"Eudora will never be satisfied, and she looks exactly like me! She will always be a threat. And Madam Steele is so fond of her somehow! How can I marry Colbert with her around?"

"But what can we do? We've already crippled her adoptive parents so she'd be willing to donate bone marrow to your brother. Now you want to hurt Eudora as well?"

"Mom! As long as Eudora is alive, she will be a problem for me marrying into the Steeles. If we can't kill her…maybe we can cripple her as well!"

Standing outside the door, Eudora heard every word clearly, and her whole body trembled.

Two months ago, Glenn and Yvette suddenly came to Eudora and said they could take her back to the Baldwins, but the condition was that she had to donate bone marrow to her brother who had leukemia.

Since Alva's bone marrow did not match her brother's, they had no choice but to approach Eudora.

At that time, Eudora refused to donate her bone marrow.

Then, a month ago, tragedy struck as Eudora's foster parents were involved in a devastating car accident, leaving them critically injured and requiring hospitalization. Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin appeared again and said that if Eudora was willing to donate bone marrow, they would provide money to cover the medical treatment for her foster parents.

Eudora did have some doubts about the sudden car accident and the timing of the Baldwins’ visit.

But in the end, she thought they were her biological parents after all, and they wouldn't do something so cruel.

Apparently…she expected too much of them.

Eudora felt a surge of anger and clenched the doorknob tightly, wanting to rush in and confront them!
