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.

A rather peculiar look flashed across Ethan’s gaze when he saw the terror on Alice’s face. However, it wasn’t clear if he was surprised or if he was thinking about something else—he simply curled his lips into a
