Dmn it! It turns out he isn’t feeling guilt over Scarlett but rather a sense of helplessness and fear
from not being able to secure the money to repay the debt on time!
With this, Christopher finally understood.
As it turned out, Javier hadn’t given up after all. He was still fixated on Scarlett. When his marriage
proposal failed, he resorted to ckmail.
That meant Javier had willingly disseminated those photos. Perhaps he had even made more
outrageous threats, which resulted in Scarlett being so frightened that she wanted to pay money to
ward off disaster, only to find herself penniless,
This kind of beastly behavior had Christopher on the verge of marching forward and punching
Javier. If looks could kill, Javier would be dead several times over by now.
However, Javier waspletely oblivious, his eyes vacant as if he wasn’t even there.
“What on earth happened?” Danielle immediately asked Freya.
Freya sighed deeply, her gaze filled with worry as she looked at Scarlett lying on the bed. “We really
don’t know much either. All we knew was that she didn’t show up for rehearsal. By the time we got
in touch with her mom, we heard there had been an ident, so we rushed over here. When I
asked her mother and uncle, they yed dumb, but they were acting so suspiciously. I suspect that
they had something to do with whatever happened to Scarlett,” Freya said disdainfully.
Danielle sighed. “She was such a strong girl. What on earth could have happened to make her lose
hope like this?”
Upon hearing this exchange, the previously dazed Javier finally showed some reaction. He looked
at the unconscious Scarlett with an incredibly distressed expression.
D“mn it, I can’t stand it anymore. What’s that look in his eyes? Resentment? Is he ming Scarlett
for her low tolerance? Is he annoyed that her attempt to end her life has dyed his debt
repayment schedule?
Isabe was absolutely fuming.
Before Isabe could even think of a way to deal with the situation, Christopher suddenly stepped
forward, walking up to Javier’s side, looking as if he was about to greet him.
However, Christopher stumbled, taking a fall right on t ground. In an instinctive attempt to
maintain his bnce, he reached out to brace himself. Unexpectedly, Javier, who was sitting in the
chair ahead, was caught off guard and shoved over.
With a shriek, Javier tumbled from his chair, his body forcefully colliding with the nearby wall. The
commotion was significant, startling everyone present.
Javier winced in pain, his face contorted. His wrist quickly swelled and turned red
“Are you all right?” Christopher asked in a panic, rushing to help Javier. He grabbed the other’s
wrist, unintentionally aggravating the injury more. The pain made Javier cry out, his face turning
red. He

The chaotic scene left everyone momentarily stunned. As they regained their senses, Freya and
Danielle. quickly rushed forward to assess the situation.
“You…” Danielle was so taken aback that she couldn’t find her words. How could such aically
absurd mishap happen to Christopher? The coincidence was just too outrageous.
If it weren’t for the fact that there had been no grudges between them in the past or recent times,
she would have suspected Christopher was doing it on purpose.
Naturally, Freya was heartbroken for her son, but it never crossed her mind that Christopher did it
on purpose. She was too engrossed in her conversation with Danielle to notice what was
happening on their end. Otherwise, given her keen senses, she would have seen through
Christopher’s act if she had been paying attention. But for now, she just had to chalk it up to bad
luck.
Only Isabe managed to react, almost bursting outughing. Silently, she gave Christopher a
mental thumbs–up.
No matter what kind of unexpected mishap it was, as long as it made this brute suffer, anything
went.
Naturally, Christopher reveled in the he couldn’t help himself. He decided to deliver a metaphorical
blow of justice to Javier, considering it as a form of
pain he had caused. Having just heard Isabe’s thoughts
interest.
In the end, Christopher naturally had to bring over a doctor to tend to Javier’s injuries as a gesture
of friendliness.
After a flurry of activity, Sienna and Bartholomeo entered, beginning to attempt to clear everyone
ou
one out. They were likely worried that if Scarlett woke up, some matters would be exposed they
also had reputations to uphold.
Just then, Scarlett woke up.
–
She blinked open her eyes in a daze, and Danielle was the first to notice. Quickly stepping forward,
she asked, “Scarlett? Are you feeling better?”
Freya, filled with concern, also moved closer to take a look.
Scarlett was lost in confusion for a moment before she noticed her mother and Bartholomeo making
their way through the crowd toward her. They were speaking words of concern and reprimand, yet
they couldn’t bring themselves to meet Scarlett’s gaze.
“You silly girl, why would you even consider doing such a thing? If you were to leave, how would I,
your mother, go on living?”
“Exactly, Scarlett! You need to take some time to reflect. We’re all family here, so what’s the big
deal?”
It seemed as though Scarlett finally remembered, her pupils constricting. Gradually, her eyes
reddened. She practically forced herself to sit up, her gaze fiercely locked onto the two so–called
family members in front of her.
The hatred in those eyes was so intense that even Christopher, who was standing nearby, could
clearly perceive it.
He then heard Isabe’smentations.

It seems that,pared to being ckmailed, the people Scarlett despises more right now are
actually these two family members. It makes sense since she doesn’t know who’s behind the
ckmail. Although she might have guessed where the pictures were leaked from, she could never
have imagined that the person ckmailing her would be Javier.
All she knows is that when she was in a state of despair and helplessness, too afraid to seek help
from the police, and could only turn to her family for support, it was her own kin who delivered the
most devastating blow. The betrayal was so severe, it was as if it had the power to kill. How could
she possibly not harbor resentment? How could she not feel hopeless? It was only natural that she
failed to see a way out in the heat of the moment. But now… I believe those feelings have passed.
Sienna and Bartholomeo had probably never seen Scarlett look at them with such an expression
before.
At that moment, they lost their nerve.
Sienna reached out to pull Scarlett, but Scarlett quickly grabbed something from the bedside table
and hurled it toward Sienna and Bartholomeo without a word.
“I don’t have a family like you. Have you ever treated me as part of your family? You only see me as
a cashi cow, only wanting to bleed me dry!”
Sienna and Bartholomeo tried to dodge in panic, but they still ended up getting hit.
Sienna eyed therge bump on Bartholomeo’s head and immediately scolded, “How could you hit
your own uncle!”
“Mom, I nearly died,” Scarlett said with sorrow.
“You were the one consumed by despair, ready to throw your life away for money. I had no idea you
were so obsessed with wealth,” Sienna expressed her discontent.
Up until now, they still believed that it was only because Scarlett discovered the money had been
transferred that she was driven to end herself.
Scarlett’s expression was almost entirely nk.
Isabe was worried that she might grow upset again. Just as she was about to speak, she saw
Scarlett’s expression gradually be colder. Then, Scarlett scoffed and said self–deprecatingly,
“Indeed, I wasn’t thinking clearly and did something foolish.”
Scarlett was clearly trembling all over, yet she still spoke deliberately and firmly. “Now that I’m
awake, I’m telling you, all the money you’ve taken from me, I will get it all back! I won’tpromise
or back down anymore, just you wait! If you don’t return it, I’ll call the police and sue you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the hospital room fell into silence,
“You… You rebellious girl! If you dare to do this, I’ll disown you as my daughter!”
However, such threats could no longer intimidate Scarlett. After all, she had already experienced
death.
Then you can prepare the termination of rtionship statement. I’ll definitely sign it,” Scarlett said,
her face devoid of any expression.
