Chapter: 280

Since she was young, her father had never deprived her of money, so she was naturally ignorant of the

importance of money to such a family.

Ariana felt an overwhelming sense of guilt, and her heart ached. She regretted not paying attention to

their situation earlier. She might even be able to help if she had known.

Thinking back to her indifference toward Tyler in the practice room, she felt she had gone too far.

“[ still have some savings. I can help…” she started hesitantly.

However, Tyler quickly shook his head and interrupted her, “I was the one who insisted on the lawsuit.

As long as we won, the compensation would be ours. I also consulted a lawyer. He said that we have a

high chance of winning with the video in our hand.”

“Then why did you withdraw the lawsuit?” Ariana asked with a frown.

Tyler fell silent again. He gripped the armrests so tightly that his veins were visible.

Ariana couldn’t bear to question him further when she noticed his suffering.

Instead, she quickly turned around and put away the medical kit.

When she was about to discuss the contract with Tyler, he started speaking again.

However, this time, his voice trembled with great anger. “Half a month ago, Brielle broke into Betty’s

ward with a group of reporters, saying that she wanted to apologize to her face to face. While they were

there, the reporters took many photos of Betty’s disfigured face. After that, Brielle threatened us with

the photos. She said that if we didn’t drop the lawsuit, she would expose those photos and slander

Betty by claiming that she further ruined her face herself for more money.”

Tears welled up in Tyler’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and continued, “Betty is just in her early twenties.

She was such a lively and beautiful girl. How could she bear such insults from Brielle? That night, she

cut her wrist and committed suicide.”

Without warning, Ariana slammed the tweezers she held on the table and roared angrily, “How dare

Brielle! This is equivalent to murder!”

Tyler felt Ariana’s anger and feared she would go to Brielle to make a scene. So he hurriedly added,

“We were fortunate to have found and saved her in time.”

Ariana calmed herself down and pulled a chair over to sit down. “What happened later?” she asked.

“After Betty woke up, she said she didn’t want to pursue the matter. So now, we can only take Brielle’s

money and withdraw the lawsuit,” Tyler sighed. Although he was still young, the heaviness on his face

was far beyond his maturity.

“How is Betty’s health now? Is she getting better?” Ariana asked gently.

“Much better now. She is now recovering at home. She’ll have her second surgery in a few weeks,”

Tyler explained.

There was a moment of silence before Ariana popped a question. “So why do you want to enter the

entertainment circle? I remember from our first meeting that you appeared uninterested in it. You even

seem to hate the people and what we do here.”

Tyler stared at Ariana for a long time before replying resolutely, “Two million is not enough. I need to

make more money to heal Betty’s face completely. I also want to give her the best artificial eye. Also, 1

want enough money to support her for a lifetime, even if she doesn’t plan to get married.”

Tyler’s eyes lit up again at the mention of helping his sister. His eyes seemed to dazzle brighter than

the sun.

Ariana was moved and felt her heart ache. She couldn’t tell why she felt that way. It was as if she saw

an injured cub and had the urge to protect it.
