Jasper appeared, wearing a suit jacket.
He pulled off his sunglasses, revealing his cold piercing eyes.
He walked over to the young man and patted his face.
âDonât talk nonsense, kid.
You donât have any evidence.
Use the facts.
Check the surveillance footage.
â
Ariana heard this and her heart sank.
If Jasper mentioned the footage so openly, it must have been tampered with.
The incident had happened so quickly that no one was sure whether Betty had chosen to block the attack or Brielle had pushed her.
Even the reporters at the scene could have easily been bribed by Jasper.
That was why they could be so arrogant.
The young man was so angry that his eyes turned red.
But he couldnât retort Jasper.
He looked at his mother who was crying beside him, and then looked at Brielle who was full of complacency.
He said stubbornly, âIâm going to sue you!â
Brielle burst into laughter.
This kid didnât bother her at all.
To her, he was just a desperate loser
âGo ahead.
Iâll help you pay the fees if you canât afford to sue.
Take it as a thank you for your sisterâs kindness.
â
He glared at Brielle, seething with anger.
He would have rushed up to Brielle and beaten her if it hadnât been for the security guards.
Looking a little impatient now, Jasper patted the boy on the shoulder, in a gesture of mock comfort.
âAll right.
You want money right? Iâll give you some.
But remember to stop talking about all this nonsense; otherwise, the situation will be different.
You could be sent to jail for malicious slander and blackmail.
â
Jasper said this with a smile, before taking out a stack of cash from his bag and throwing it at the boyâs feet.
âGo home.
Stop making a fool of yourself.
â
He then gestured for the security guards to take the family out.
When the couple saw the money, they both reached down to pick it up.
âMom, Dad, we canât take this money,â their son protested.
âIf we go to court, weâll need this.
We spent all our savings on your sisterâs treatment.
She needs follow-ups which will also be expensive,â Bettyâs mother explained, her eyes filling with tears.
The boy lowered his head, and with gritted teeth bent down and picked up the money.
The three of them were then promptly escorted out of the building.
Watching them leave, Ariana had a thought.
She put on a mask and chased after them.
She spotted them at a bus stop and approached them.
@
âWho are you?â The young boy had his guard up.
Ariana showed him her ID and responded, âIâm an employee of SJ Entertainment.
â
The youth still looked hostile.
He stared coldly at her and queried, âAnd what do you want?â
The old couple also became vigilant.
They pulled the boy behind them and faced Ariana like mother hens facing a hawk.

Ariana held out a pen and a piece of paper to them and said, âYou forgot to fill in your information in the visitors register.
Please do that.
â
The three didnât move a muscle.
They just stared at her defiantly.
Seeing this, Ariana put on a pitiful expression and continued, âI donât mean to disturb or delay you, but you have to fill this.
Itâs the company rule that everyone who comes into the building must drop their information.
Iâm just a contract employee, so Iâm still on probation.
If I make any mistake, Iâll be scolded and my salary would be deducted.
The higher-ups would also refuse to make me a regular employee.
I went through a lot before getting this job.
Please donât be the reason why I encounter difficulties here.
â @
It was almost as if Ariana would cry any moment from now.
The old couple exchanged glances without saying anything.
Meanwhile, the young boyâs eyes softened.
He stood out, took over the writing materials, and began to write.
Ariana breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought that he was a kind-hearted kid.
