Chapter 16
What completely took Arya by surprise was that Jared ignored Travis’s displeasure and continued with his patronizing speech, “Travis, grow up. Now that the Keller Group is on the brink of bankruptcy.
“Why cling to a comparty about to fold? Why not transfer all your shares to me? I can take on all the debts, and you can go back to your beloved entertainment industry to further your career.””
“Uncle Jared!” Finally, Travis spoke out in displeasure. “My dad is lying in bed, fighting for his life, yet you’re in such a hurry to get your hands on the Keller Group’s shares. What exactly are you up to?”
Jared was deeply shocked by Travis’s retort.
In his memory, Travis had always been gentle, refined, and humble. Yet now, he was standing up to him,
“Arya, that chit, must have been filling his ears with nonsense, he thought.
Dissatisfied, he stood up. “Travis, I’m just trying to help you since the Keller family is bankrupt. A debt of over millions isn’t small change.
“You think you can pay off this debt with your acting career? Even if you do, do you think you have the ability to manage the company?”
At this moment, Arya stepped forward, saying coolly, “Of course, my brother will return to the entertainment industry to pursue his passion. But as for the future development of the Keller Group, we have our own plans. No need for you to worry. If there’s nothing else, goodbye.”
With a poker face, she didn’t even spare Jared a glance and quickly walked over to Travis, smiling brightly as she said, “Travis, there’s hope for Dad,”
Upon hearing this, Jared, who had remained composed, suddenly showed an expression of shock. “Arya, are you saying that your dad’s illness can be
cured?”
When Arya met Jared’s somewhat nervous gaze, her eyes turned cold.
Her instincts told her that her father’s fall might be related to Jared
As she dug deeper into it, a chill suddenly enveloped her “Uncle Jared, you seem very afraid that my dad’s illness will be cured?”
Jared forced a smile, replying, “Nonsensel of course, I hope your dad gets better soon.
With that, he added, “If there’s nothing else, I should go.”
Then, he hastily fled the living room.
Watching Jared’s hurried departure, Arya was even more certain of her suspicions.
Her hands clenched into fists at her sides.
If Jared was truly responsible for her father’s coma, she would make him pay tenfold. No, a hundredfold!
After Jared got into the car outside the Keller family’s villa, he made a phone call
“I went to the Keller family today, and Stephen’s daughter said he’s hopeful. What if he really wakes up?” His voice was tinged with worry.
On the other end of the phone, however, the person spoke casually. “Jared, Stephen fell from such a high floor and bled so much on the spot.
“Even if his daughter really managed to save him, his brain won’t be able to recover to what it was. Don’t you worry.”
Inside the villa, Travis frowned at Arya beside her. “Arya, did you just say that Dad’s hopeful?”
-ו.
Chapter 16
Arya took out a brocade box containing the pill from her bag carefully. “Travis, this is the last Miracle developed by Professor Ashton do death. It can promote blood circulation and repair inerve damage, if Dad takes this pill,
But Travis’s gaze was drawn to the dazzling Aurora ring on her finger.
wake up.
He suddenly grabbed her right hand with his long lingers, and his handsome face showed a hint of anger. “Why do you have the Aurora
Arya blinked, wondering if she should tell Travis that she was getting manied to Finn tomorrow.
As she remained silent, Travis became even angrier. “And that pill, I heard it was bought by a mysterious tycoon for 330 million dollars at tonight’s Estell Auction. Why is it here with you?
“Args, tell me honestly, did you make some kind of deal? Did you sell yourself?”
His friend had also attended the Estella Auction tonight and told him everything that happened there.
Now, seeing these two most expensive items with his sister, he was suspicious and heartbroken.
Arya looked at Travis’s deep, bright, and disappointed eyes, replying helplessly, “Travis, I didn’t make any deals or sell mysell”
Travis obviously didn’t believe her, his tone even colder. “Then how do you explain the pill and the ring?”
He felt miserable for being so powerless and couldn’t protect his sister.
“Travis!” Arya decided to tell him the truth, “I’m getting married to Finn Barnett, and these two items are his engagement gifts to me
Hearing this, Travis shot up from the sofa, looking utterly astonished. “Arya, you’re going to marry Finn Barnett?!”
“Since I’ve accepted the engagement gifts, it’s natural that I’ll marry him.” Arya spoke in a very calm tone, as if she were commenting on something as ordinary as the weather today.
But Travis grabbed her wrist firmly. “Arya, if you’re sacrificing yourself and marrying him to cure Dad’s illness, I’ll go with you to cancel the engagement.”
way from Travis’s grip. Her pretty face showed unprecedented determination. “I’m not sacrificing myself
“Travis!” Arya gently pulled her hand away!
“Finn is handsome and rich. I actually like him quite a bit, so I agreed to marry him.”
In fact, when she initially agreed to marry Malcolm for political reasons, it was mainly to make her parents feel at e and never expected to meet someone she truly liked.
Running into Finn today was quite unexpected.
Compared to Malcolm, she found herself having much more affection towards Finn.
She had no feelings for Malcolm
Although she admitted that she did agree to marry Finn for the Miracle Pill K, she didn’t mind getting married to him either.
Of course, she wouldn’t let Travis know the real reason
Over these five years, Travis had always been protecting her.
If he knew that she only agreed to marry Finn because of Dad, he would definitely disagree with it
“Arya, have you really thought this through?” Travis took a deep breath and looked at her intently, and there was an ambiguous emotion in his eyes.
“Travis, I’ve thought it through clearly; we’ll get our marriage cemficate tomorrow,” said Arya seriously.
The atmosphere in the living room
became strangely heavy all of a sudden.
At that moment, from upstairs came Maria’s anxious shout. “Stephen! Are you okay? Don’t scare me .
