Della almost fainted when hearing it. He trembled all over and couldn’t speak out.
She couldn’t believe it.
She plucked her hair with both hands as hard as possible as if she couldn’t feel the pain.
“Is there anything you can do for her?” Samuel asked coldly.
“Not, actually. You’d better be mentally prepared.”
“No, no!” Della plunged to the doctor crazily. “You must do something for her! She’s a model. Without her legs, she would be like a dead woman. Do you know how important
her legs are to her?”
Her legs were the main reason why she was so popular. She was once praised by her fans
as a “long–legged beauty“.
Her legs were slender and straight, which brought her excellent fortune because she was
required to reveal her legs when shooting commercials.
“Miss, please calm down. We’ve tried our best. Please be careful with your language
when she wakes up.”
“Is there really nothing you can do?” Nelson asked.
“Sorry, yes,” the doctor said.
Samuel stood still without saying a word as if thinking about something.
No one thought things came to such an end. Della had been throwing a tantrum, so
Samuel asked Leo to drag her out because it disturbed him.
The office fell into a frosty silence.
Nelson patted Samuel on the shoulder. “Don’t act pretentious. Just say something. We’re all on the same side.”
“Mr. York, what do you think… I should do to treat Miss Keith?” the doctor asked slowly.
Samuel rubbed his forehead, glancing coldly at the two men present.
“Do whatever you can do. The accident took place at my company, but I don’t want to be

caught out.”
“Damn it!” Nelson thought that he was crazy. “I’ve just checked the contract. You’ll need to compensate tenfold payment for it, which means 85 million dollars Are you losing your mind?” he whispered in Samuel’s car.
Samuel knew the amount of compensation better than anyone
It was not a small amount for him.
else.
It was even much more than the start–up funds for the company. It wasn’t worth it to pay so much compensation as soon as the company started going right.
If it were anyone else, they probably would even give up the
company.
But he wouldn’t give up due to the loss of 85 million dollars.
“You’d better think it over, Sam. When did you become so…” Nelson tried to search for an appropriate word in his
mind to describe Samuel. “So sentimental?”
It was 85 million dollars instead of 850 thousand dollars!
For rich people like them, it was a piece of cake to squander 85 million dollars or 8.5
million dollars. But 85 million was a lot of money!
It would also be a heavy burden for the powerful York family.
Moreover, Samuel was not the only one in charge of the family. His two uncles also had
a say in the family business and they would get the good on him if Samuel wanted to
take over all the family business in the future.
“Do you want me to breach the contract?” Samuel glanced at him coldly, saying through his thin lips, “Are you law–ignorant?”
Nelson was lost for words.
“Are you that law–abiding? Looks like you’re always abiding by the rules. Who wouldn’t take advantage of the loopholes in the law if encountering such a serious accident? Otherwise, why do you need a lawyer?
“Only a fool would pay the compensation of 85 million dollars,” Nelson thought.
A company would think about the overall interests first instead of taking into
consideration the actress‘ career development when something like this happened

because an actress was usually used as a pawn.
“Dr. Davis, thank you for your hard work today. Please let us know if anything
happens,” Nelson said and walked out of the office with his hand on Samuel’s shoulder.
In the corridor, Della was still crying like a madman, and Leo was analyzing the
situation for her.
But she turned a deaf ear to him. Under such circumstances, few people could keep
reasonable.
As soon as Elizabeth stepped out of the elevator, she bumped into Samuel and Nelson.
Nelson looked astonished as if he had just eaten a fly. “Hey, Elizabeth, it’s so late. Why are you…?”
Samuel also wondered why Elizabeth came all the way here in the middle of the night just for Linda’s accident. He knew she was not that close to Linda.
“Ira didn’t tell you?” Samuel asked.
“Huh?” Elizabeth was confused.
Narrowing his eyes, Samuel asked coldly, “Where did you come from?”
“I… I took a taxi here. Damn it! I can’t believe the taxi fare has increased by several bucks per mile. It’s much more than four years ago. It’s cheating!”
Nelson did not know what to say.
Samuel was also speechless.
Samuel didn’t have the energy to care about her now. “Go back to Beverly Hills if you
don’t wanna annoy me.”
“Don’t be so arrogant, Samuel York! How can you be so rude to me?” Elizabeth rolled her eyes at him. “Tell me, how Is Linda doing?”
Samuel ignored her questions, looking at her as if she was an idiot.
