I once heard somewhere that issues aren’t issues when they can be resolved with money. Things get easy if they can be settled with money.

“How much do you want?” Ethan was surprised for a moment. After some hesitation, he allowed Alice to name her price. Alice felt like jumping with joy. I’m glad that we can talk about this. Maybe I acted a little too pitiful earlier—it seems like I somehow managed to melt Mr. Knight’s heart of ice. But… He’s asking me how much I want, huh? How much? I’m not selling Caroline, and I don’t actually need money. I don’t want the Knight Family to pay me because of Caroline. But if I don’t take the money, does that mean that I’ll have to get married to Mr. Knight?

I’d rather take the money then. How much should I ask for? Alice felt like this question was harder than all the ones she had in her mind earlier. She could feel her palms sweating. As she reached her hand out to grab a tissue to wipe her palms, a man’s voice sounded before she could get her tissue. “50 million?” Ethan glared at her spread-out fingers before speaking.

Alice’s hand froze in mid-air. It wasn’t that she wanted to pause in that position—her brain simply couldn’t function quickly enough to do anything at that moment. “You can transfer the money to Miss Woland, Caleb.” Ethan was a man of action—he was too quick for others to even catch up with him. Alice let out a sigh. He sure is the son of the Knight Family! He’s so generous with his money… I can’t help but feel jealous of him.

Alice figured that she didn’t want to create any more issues for herself. Considering the fact that she could give the money to Caroline, she decided to hold her tongue and stop herself from saying anything else. There isn’t really an issue if it’s an issue that can be fixed with money. This is way better than me getting married to him.

However, it wasn’t clear if he was surprised or if he was thinking about something else—he simply curled his lips into a smirk. “Do you have an issue with both taking the money and getting married to me?” Alice froze. There’s no conflict between those two things, but… but… I already agreed to take the money. Why do I still have to give myself to him? Wait—if I take the money, does that give me more reason for me to give my all to

I can’t get mad—that’ll make me really reactive, and that’s not going to help me out of this situation. “I believe you understand that you can’t force someone to develop feelings for you, Mr. Knight.” Alice decided to use a different approach. Considering how high and mighty Ethan seemed,

How does he even say that without feeling embarrassed of himself? He doesn’t even look that young—he’s probably in his late twenties or early thirties, right? How am I supposed

Even though it was just a momentary glance, Caleb could sense the sharp, threatening look in Ethan’s gaze. “Is that so?” Ethan turned to look at Alice just to make it clear that he was questioning her. “Um… Yeah…” Alice nodded furiously.
