Chapter 226 Brian knew he was at fault , so he was silent for a long moment .
Finally , he took a deep breath and said , Youve had your say .
Tell me what kind of compensation you want .
Good .
Straight to the point , Ariana said , her tone icy .
This was precisely the moment she had been waiting for .
I want you to promise never to go after the Torrey family again .
And dont bother me anymore .
Since weve already called off the engagement , lets settle this once and for all .
My injuries were because you wrongfully accused me , so youre covering all my medical expenses .
Thats all ? Thats all , Ariana said sharply .
Although , if your conscience nags at you and you want to offer some financial compensation , I wouldnt say no .
Think of it as a breakup fee .
The mention of a breakup fee made Brians expression darken .
For reasons he couldnt explain , those words stung more than hed anticipated .
Whats wrong ? Feeling reluctant ? Ariana teased .
Ill pay you , Brian said through gritted teeth .
Ariana wasnt particularly surprised .
Brian had no shortage of money .
Throwing a few million her way for a breakup fee wouldnt hurt his finances in the slightest .
Since Im responsible for your injuries , Ill take full responsibility for your recovery , he added .
Alright ! Ariana nodded approvingly .
At least he wasnt completely heartless .
So , tomorrow , Ill have Emily arrange for your discharge .
Youll stay at the Lodge family residence during your recovery .
The smile on Arianas face vanished immediately .
Why should I stay at your house ? Ive already arranged for the most skilled overseas specialist to treat your hand .
If you dont want to lose your hand permanently , youll follow my arrangements .
You- ! This is my way of taking responsibility .
After five months when your hand is fully healed , youre free to leave .
If not , Ill give you compensation .
You name the amount .
Ariana paused , her skepticism evident .
Youre saying … I can name any amount ? Yes .
Any amount at all ? The glint in Arianas eyes made Brian reconsider his offer .
I left unchecked , she might shamelessly demand his entire fortune .
He frowned and added , The cap is 50 million .
Ariana scoffed internally .
Of course , she knew it was too good to be true .
Still , the deal wasnt bad .
Five months at the Lodge residence meant free meals , top tier medical care , rehabilitation , and even the possibility of fifty million dollars if things didnt go well .
It was a deal with no downsides .
Fine .
Ill agree to that , Ariana said , decisively .
1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 226 Brian knew she would agree .
He leaned back in his chair and said calmly , If you dont forget our previous agreement .
hungry , eat something .
And Brian had previously said that he would give Ariana one million for every meal she ate .

With that in mind , she reached out for the takeout bag on the table .
But then she paused and said nonchalantly , My hands injured .
I cant open it .
Brian set his phone down and walked over to her .
He carefully opened the takeout bag , unpacked the containers , and set them nearly in front of her , one by one .
