“Betty chose to block me from the acid. I didn't tell her to. Just tell me how much money you want. Let's not make a scene and embarrass ourselves," she warned them.

The young man roared at her.

"Brielle Edwards, you liar! My sister said the acid was aimed at you! You pulled her in front of you to block it. She almost died. You nearly killed her!"

Around them, the crowd broke into uproar.

Surprised by his emboldened attitude, Brielle started to panic.

“How dare you say that? Do you even have any evidence?"

At that moment, the crowd parted to make way for someone.

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.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. You don't have any evidence. Use the facts. Check the surveillance footage."

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 couldn't 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, “I'm going to sue you!”

Brielle burst into laughter. This kid didn't bother her at all.

To her, he was just a desperate loser

"Go ahead. I'll help you pay the fees if you can't afford to sue. Take it as a thank you for your sister's kindness."

He glared at Brielle, seething with anger. He would have rushed up to Brielle and beaten her if it hadn't been for the security guards.

Looking a little impatient now, Jasper patted the boy on the shoulder, in a gesture of mock comfort.

“All right. You want money right? I'll 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."

Jasper said this with a smile, before taking out a stack of cash from his bag and throwing it at the boy's feet.

"Go home. Stop making a fool of yourself."
