    Javier knew he had to buy some time, then seize the right moment to intimidate Scarlett, preventing


    her from doing something foolish.


    “Javier, what are you talking about?” Freya suddenly spoke up. “We would never negotiate with a


    criminal


    “Mom, now’s not the time…” Javier quickly interjected, but he simply couldn’t stop his mother.


    Freya grabbed Searlett’s hand and said, “Dear girl, I’ve said it before. This whole situation started


    with Javier, so it’s our family’s responsibility. If you want to pay to get rid of this problem, I’ll provide


    the money. If you want to report it to the police, feel free to leave it to me. I don’t have many skills,


    but I do have some military connections that could be useful. I promise you, the criminal won’t


    escape. But… I should tell you in advance that I can’t guarantee your videos or photos won’t be


    leaked before then. The other party might act out of desperation and seek revenge…


    Although Scarlett held resentment toward Javier, she did not direct her anger at Freya. Thus, when


    she heard these words, her eyes welled up slightly. The fact that an elder was willing to step


    forward and handle everything for her at this time was indeed touching.


    Unlike her family….


    Thank you, Mdm. Pearson. I want to call the police, Scarlett said with determination.


    Lucy nodded, pulling out her phone to dial the police.


    Javier’s face contorted almost instantly.


    Hahaha, Javier, you didn’t see thising, did you? The one to defeat you isn’t your ex–girlfriend


    but your own mother. However, I’m quite curious. If Mdm. Pearson eventually discovers that the


    culprit is actually her own son, I wonder what her reaction will be. I feel a bit sorry for her.


    Javier didn’t give Freya the chance to call the police. He directly snatched her phone away and


    said, “No way, Mom!”


    “What are you doing!” Freya eximed in anger.


    At this point, Danielle found Javier’s behavior somewhat peculiar. “Javier, Scarlett has already said


    that you aren’t visible in the videos, so it won’t affect you in any way. Besides, you’re not Scarlett’s


    boyfriend anymore. It seems you don’t have the right to keep objecting.”


    When Scarlett looked at Javier, her immediate thought was that despite being her ex–boyfriend, he


    was a possessive man who didn’t like the idea of other men looking at her naked body.


    Unexpectedly, Isabe suddenly said, “Are you worried that the police wille looking for you


    after a report is made?”


    Javier’sposure shattered in an instant. “What are you bbering about? Why would the


    police be looking for me? What does this have to do with me?”


    You’re flustered, aren’t you? You’re flustered!


    Observing Javier’s odd behavior, Freya furrowed her brows and asked, “Why are you so worked


    up?”

    Isabe raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “Oh, why so agitated? The photos and videos were


    leaked from your phone. If you report it to the police, isn’t it normal for them to seek evidence from


    you? I only mentioned it because I thought you might be worried about wasting time. With your


    reaction, anyone. would think I was using you of being the culprit, and the police were waiting to


    arrest you. You scared me there.”


    From the way he’s acting, he’s practically shouting that he’s hiding something.


    Isabe wore an expression of yful annoyance, while Javier’s face was a kaleidoscope of


    emotions.


    Christopher nearly burst outughing. He genuinely wanted to give Isabe a thumbs up. She was


    basically one step away from revealing the truth yet still managed to keep everyone in the dark.


    At that moment, Christopher had to interject. “Why are you sweating? That’s odd. What are you so


    nervous about? Could it be…”


    Nice! Christopher is quite sharp for actually noticing something is off with Javier. With his


    cooperation, I might be able to take Javier down directly.


    Upon hearing the praise, Christopher was engrossed in his acting and didn’t notice the frequent


    blinking of his phone’s notification light.


    Christopher and Isabe were in a bind. With Javier still holding the evidence, they had to tread


    carefully lest they ruin things for Scarlett. They really didn’t dare to act recklessly and could only


    take it one step at a time.


    At that moment, the gazes of the others toward Javier were filled with various spections.


    “Javier, are you hiding something from us?” Freya couldn’t, for the life of her, imagine her son


    involved in any shady affairs. She simply suspected that he was concealing something.


    In that instant, Javier truly couldn’t withstand the pressure. He felt as though he was on the brink of


    copse and could only resort toshing out in frustration and embarrassment.


    “What could I possibly be hiding? Their excessive usations infuriate me. What kind of


    rtionship do you think I have with Lettie, that I could harm her? What are you all specting?


    Just because I lost my phone, does it mean you all have to suspect me as a criminal?”


    Christopher couldn’t help but chuckle. “Javier, you’re really overthinking this. I didn’t say anything


    about a criminal. What I meant was… Could it be that you’re so nervous because you haven’t


    deleted the things you’ve filmed, even after such an incident? Is that why the mention of the police


    collecting evidence has you on edge?”


    For a moment, Javier’s hand instinctively moved toward his pocket. His pupils quivered, and he


    immediately dered, “Of course I deleted them.”


    “Really? Either way, Scarlett is very much the victim in this matter, so it’s still necessary to check.


    This way, if anythinges up in the future, you won’t be med. It’s good for the mutual trust


    among us all. You don’t mind, do you?” Isabe seized the opportunity and immediately made a


    request, asking Javier for his phone.


    With a stern expression, Javier warned, “Don’t push it too far.”


    Isabe wore an innocent expression as she asked, “Hub? How could you refuse such a


    reasonable request?”

    Chapter 165 You Have Not Deleted Those Photos.


    Scarlett and


    Finis


    A Freya were bewildered because they instinctively assumed that after such an incident, Javie


    would have immediately deleted those photos and videos. Why would any normal person possibly


    keep them, risking losing their phone and inviting further trouble?


    Yet, observing Javier’s reaction, why would he be so sensitive if he truly had deleted them?


    Danielle slightly squinted her eyes. There was hardly anything within this circle she hadn’t seen


    before. She was already aware of Javier’s issues with gambling and debt. Therefore, after


    pondering on it, she arrived at an unbelievable truth.


    Could it all have been staged?


    Suddenly, Danielle spoke up. “The person in the videos and photos is Scarlett. Taking these without


    anyone’s permission is already an illegal act. You said they’re deleted, but without any evidence,


    we’d fee more at ease if we checked ourselves… unless you’re lying”


    Javier could not stop himself from taking a step back.


    Scarlett’s expression changed. Perhaps she had finally started to think of the man she had been


    sweetly in love with for years in the worst possible light.


    It wasn’t as simple as gambling and not repaying borrowed money.


    Freya’s expression became stern. “Hand over your phone.”


    Javier was truly at his wit’s end. All he could say was, “It seems like none of you are thinking


    straight. I can be bothered to exin further. My phone is my private property, and I won’t show it to


    anyone.” After delivering such a grand pronouncement, he turned and walked away.


    It seemed as though he wanted to escape from this ce.


    This was the scenario that Isabe and Christopher had been most concerned about. After all, they


    didn’t have a valid reason to stop Javier.


    But at that moment, they had no choice but to resort to force to stop him.


    Before Javier could even reach the foyer, he heard three knocks on the door. Without waiting for a


    response, the visitor pushed the door open and stepped inside.


    “Police! We’re investigating a case.”


    A stern male voice rang out, apanied by the sound of footsteps. One after another, two male


    police officers walked in.


    Upon seeing the police, Javier was stunned. Without a second thought, he foolishly tried to break


    through the blockade and escape.


    That sudden action naturally startled the police, who initially thought someone was about to attack


    them.


    Without hesitation, the young officer at the forefront had Javier pinned down on the ground with a


    swift and stylish paneuver.


    “Who are you, and what are you trying to do? Handcut him first!”


    This unexpected turn of events was something no one had foreseen.

    Isabe waspletely dumbfounded. She hadn’t called the police, and having been present all


    along, no one should have had the chance to secretly alert the authorities.


    Moreover, without the victim’s consent, who would dare to overstep their boundaries and call the


    police?
