NovelOnlineChapter 216 *Two minutes have passed.” Arabella said.
Arabella hung up the call, blocked the number, and was about to head into the lab when another unknown number called.
Arabella was speechless. Without a doubt, it was Attlee again, shamelessly calling her from a new number.

Attlee had predicted she wouldn't answer, so he had prepared a bunch of new numbers before calling her. Each time Arabella blocked one, he'd switch to another. Finally, Arabella switched off her phone, leaving Attlee helpless.
“How's it going?” Olga, watching Attlee’s fallen face, had a bad feeling, “She’s still not answering your call?” “She switched off her phone.” Attlee sighed, glancing at his daughter on the sofa.
Yolanda was hanging her head, looking guilty as tears silently rolled down her cheeks. She looked pitiful.
“That girl is outrageous!” Olga gritted her teeth, hating Arabella to the core, “No matter what, this can’t hit the news or not only will Yoli's reputation be ruined, but our Murphy family’s reputation will be destroyed too!” Humph! It was just six million? They were the richest family in Tranquil City, they could definitely afford it! Attlee was silent for a while, then took out his phone, ordering his men to put up several of his mansions and shops for sale, “The buyer must pay in full.” Otherwise, waiting for the bank's loan process would take too long, and they wouldn't get the money within three days! “Make it fast. If it doesn’t work, lower the price a bit.” Attlee hung up, looking at his wife and daughter with a defeated look, “Once we sell those, all we'll have left is this house and a few shops.” The maid serving tea on the side was startled by this, almost dropping her tray.
“What are you doing?” Olga, noticing her sneaky behavior, couldn't help but scold, “Trying to give us a heart attack?” “Sorry, ma'am, | didn’t hold it properly.” The maid thought, what was the point of acting high and mighty when they were about to go bankrupt! She needed to find a new job. The Murphy family was definitely going under soon! “Dad, mom, I'm sorry.” Yolanda sobbed, tears falling continuously, guilt written all over her face.
“Ah.” Attlee sighed. Once the mansions and shops were sold, he would no longer be the richest man in Tranquil City. His status would plummet. Then, the Murphy family’s business would be on the brink of collapse.
“It's all my fault.” Yolanda knew she'd messed up, sobbing, “If | hadn't come back, dad would still be the richest man, and mom would still be living a luxurious life. | ruined you. I ruined our family! I'm sorry, so sorry!” If she didn’t apologize now, she was afraid her parents would get angry and kick her out. She could feel her father's disappointment in her. Even though she was crying so hard, he didn't offer any words of comfort.

Olga gently stroked her head, softly saying, “You couldn't afford piano lessons before, but things are different now! We're here, and we won't let you suffer anymore. If you still want to learn piano, we'll hire a tutor for you!” Yolanda's tears fell, she shook her head. As if to say, she didn’t want to learn piano anymore.
Olga’s heart ached even more, “It's okay, as long as we pay the six million, only the people at the awards ceremony will know about this. It'll soon be forgotten, and won't be known by others. Won't become... Their laughingstock.
Yolanda nodded, looking guilty.
“In a few days, the results of the entrance exam will be announced. With your abilities and level, getting into a good university won't be a problem!” Olga said.
