    Although Danielle wasn’t quite sure how Isabe hade to this conclusion, she agreed that


    going to the hospital first was the right move.


    After all, Danielle was getting ready to sign a contract with Scarlett, so there was no way she could


    ignore thetter at this point.


    Originally, Danielle didn’t want Christopher and Isabe to go, fearing they might be photographed.


    However, Isabe insisted on going, leaving Danielle with no choice. Naturally, Christopher also


    ended up going along.


    In the car, Danielle was frantically reaching out to her contacts trying to figure out what was going


    on. However, even those within her circle were confused and clueless about what had happened.


    When they heard the news, they were all somewhat stunned.


    However, it wasn’t long before Danielle found some new negative information about Scarlett in the


    social media posts of her haters.


    “These people really have no decency, photoshopping images like this. Aren’t they afraid of getting


    sued? I bet it’s the work of some misguided, mindless haters.”


    Danielle couldn’t help but express her irritation. She didn’t connect the two incidents though. After


    all, it was quitemon for well–known celebrities to have such scandalous gossip. If Danielle was


    already Scarlett’s manager, she could have handled it in no time.


    Isabe held her phone, her hand slightly trembling as she, too, looked at those photos.


    In one of the photos, Scarlett was sprawled out on the bed, seemingly asleep. It was unclear


    whether she was dressed, as only a nket covered her key areas, leaving the rest of her body


    with several hickeys – on disy. It was evident that the photo was taken after a sexual encounter.


    This photo had just managed to skirt the edge of the review process, which was why it had been up


    for so long without getting taken down.


    Gradually, people started to share these photos, initiating a minor spread.


    However, the majority of people were reporting the bloggen thinking it was absurd. They couldn’t


    believe that someone like Scarlett, known for her kind–hearted and beautiful image, would take


    such photos. Even in her acting roles, she had never revealed so much of her body.


    Thus, they surmised the photos had to be fake, the product of someone trying to tarnish her


    reputation because of her current poprity.


    Naturally, Christopher had also seen those photos. He furrowed his brows slightly before turning to


    look at–Isabe, who was next to him. It was the first time he had seen her look so upset, with a


    face as dark as thunder. He couldn’t even hear her inner thoughts, clearly indicating that she was


    too angry to even think straight.


    Combined with the insult she received previously, it appeared that Scarlett’s attempt to end her life


    had something to do with Javier.


    As Christopher looked over these photos again, it wasn’t hard for him to draw certain conclusions.


    For instance, these photos might have been leaked from Javier. He had heard that some men


    enjoyed taking intimate photos with their girlfriends However the risk of eveure un inevitable with

    Upon viewing these photos and the reactions of theizens, Christopher felt that Scarlett shouldn’t


    have been so fragile as to reach the point of ending herself. How did it escte to such a level?


    The group quickly arrived at the hospital and swiftly found out the room number. As they were


    heading over, they saw Sienna and Bartholomeo standing at the door, speaking in hushed tones


    with troubled expressions.


    At that moment, Christopher heard a mental snorting from Isabe before her contemptuous


    words followed. If Javier is a monster, then these two are far worse. If it weren’t for them, Scarlett


    wouldn’t have been driven to despair and taken her own life.


    Christopher’s curiosity was piqued even more. His phone was vibrating with messages from their


    family group chat. Everyone had heard the news and knew that they had gone to the hospital.


    In such a situation, they naturally couldn’t just head over, but their curiosity was piqued about what


    exactly had happened. If necessary, they were undoubtedly ready to step in and fight for justice.


    Sienna and Bartholomeo quickly noticed their arrival, but their expressions turned sour the moment


    they saw Danielle.


    “What are you here for?” Bartholomeo asked rudely.


    Danielle didn’t bear around the bush with them, saying outright, “Scarlett will soon be my artist, so


    I’m here to see if there’s anything I can assist with.”


    “Bullsh*t! Scarlett would never disband her agency, Bartholomeo immediately retorted. It was clear


    that he had already learned about Scarlett’s decision and was extremely upset about it.


    Sienna also said with a stern gaze, “There’s no need for you all to interfere. Please leave.”


    “First, you forced your daughter into marriage, then you prevented her friends from visiting. Don’t I


    have a right to suspect that you’ve harmed Scarlett?” Isabe said coldly. “If you don’t let us see


    Scarlett, we’ll have no choice but to call the police.”


    In reality, Isabe’s words held no weight. They were merely an attempt to intimidate. But Sienna


    and Bartholomeo were not the type to be easily frightened, so Danielle and Christopher both


    believed that her words were pointless.


    The very next second, Sienna and Bartholomeo’s faces turned pale as a sheet, their eyes flickering


    uncertainly. Despite still sporting a stern expression, they didn’t dare to chase Isabe and her


    group away.


    “What nonsense are you spouting? We are her closest kin! How could we possibly harm her?”


    “Exactly! Don’t think just because you’re some Justice Upholder in the entertainment industry that


    you can say whatever you want. W–We are the ones who would call the police.”


    This tant guilt caused Danielle’s expression to change instantly, prompting her to immediately


    take out her phone.


    Upon seeing her reach for the phone, Sienna and Bartholomeo assumed she was calling the


    police, which instantly frightened them considerably,


    Immediately, Sienna said, “Go in if you want to. She’s sill unconscious anyway.” Finishing her


    words, she

    quickly stepped aside.


    Isabe scoffed, taking the lead as she walked in.

    Danielle and Christopher followed, and only when the hospital room door closed did Danielle fail to


    contain herself any longer. “Could it be…”


    Christopher cast a nce at Isabe and said, “They must have done something wrong, and that’s


    why they’re feeling guilty.”


    Of course, they’re feeling guilty. When Scarlett was at her wits end and desperately turned to them


    for financial help. she discovered that her savings of many years had been secretly transferred to


    her cousin. Scarlett should have still had that ten million, so her mother and uncle thought they


    wouldn’t be exposed. Little did they know, Scarlett’s money had been swindled away by Javier long


    ago. Therefore, Scarlett had no choice but ask them for money, not realizing that herst lifeline


    had been severed. She had been deceived, betrayed by an old love and by her own kin. Under the


    weight of these dual betrayals, she became despondent, and that’s why


    Upon hearing Isabe’s thoughts, Christopher finally understood part of the truth. He was so


    infuriated that he clenched his fists, itching to turn around and punch the heartless duo.


    Because of Luna, Christopher truly despised parents who didn’t love their own children. He was


    determined to make them–pay when the opportunity arose.


    But on another note, what exactly was the matter that left Scarlett with no other options?


    Just after passing through the foyer, they saw Freya stepping out.


    “Mdm. Pearson?” the trio eximed in surprise.


    Freya nodded in greeting. “I heard some noise and thought there might be a conflict, so I came


    over.” She was aware of the situation with the manager and naturally knew those two would cause


    trouble for Isabe and the others, so she personally came to pick them up


    Sienna and Bartholomeo were probably still indulging in the dream of bing inws with her,


    so they didn’t have any objections to Freya being here.


    Upon seeing Freya; Isabe’s face fell, and she quickly strode inside.


    Christopher could clearly see the murderous look in Isabe’s eyes.


    In no time, Isabe came to a halt. Her gaze was firmly fixed on the person beside the sickbed.


    Javier appeared to be in a daze as he held onto his phone tightly.


    It seemed as though the idea of his beloved taking her own life was hard to ept. Danielle


    frowned slightly upon seeing this, and Christopher began to believe that Javier had unintentionally


    leaked the photos, leading to these unfortunate events.


    However, the very next moment, he heard mocking words ringing in Isabe’s mind.


    You shameless b*stard, ying the guilt–stricken act now, huh? When you were staging your little


    scheme to swindle Scarlett out of her money, did you never consider that she might take her own


    life?


    The look in Christopher’s eyes instantly shifted as he continued to stare at Javier.
