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.
â[ still have some savings.
I can helpâ¦â she started hesitantly.
However, Tyler quickly shook his head and interrupted her, âI 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.
â
âThen why did you withdraw the lawsuit?â Ariana asked with a frown.
Tyler fell silent again.
He gripped the armrests so tightly that his veins were visible.
Ariana couldnât 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.
âHalf a month ago, Brielle broke into Bettyâs 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 Bettyâs disfigured face.
After that, Brielle threatened us with the photos.
She said that if we didnât drop the lawsuit, she would expose those photos and slander Betty by claiming that she further ruined her face herself for more money.
â
Tears welled up in Tylerâs eyes as he gritted his teeth and continued, âBetty 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, âHow dare Brielle! This is equivalent to murder!â
Tyler felt Arianaâs anger and feared she would go to Brielle to make a scene.
So he hurriedly added, âWe were fortunate to have found and saved her in time.
â
Ariana calmed herself down and pulled a chair over to sit down.
âWhat happened later?â she asked.
âAfter Betty woke up, she said she didnât want to pursue the matter.
So now, we can only take Brielleâs money and withdraw the lawsuit,â Tyler sighed.
Although he was still young, the heaviness on his face was far beyond his maturity.
âHow is Bettyâs health now? Is she getting better?â Ariana asked gently.
âMuch better now.
She is now recovering at home.
Sheâll have her second surgery in a few weeks,â Tyler explained.
There was a moment of silence before Ariana popped a question.
âSo 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.
â
Tyler stared at Ariana for a long time before replying resolutely, âTwo million is not enough.
I need to make more money to heal Bettyâs 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 doesnât plan to get married.
â
Tylerâs 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 couldnât tell why she felt that way.
It was as if she saw an injured cub and had the urge to protect it.
