It wasn’t until Christopher greeted one of the police officers that everyone finally snapped back to
reality.
“Rnd?”
The dashing police officer who had made the arrest rose to his feet, handcuffing the befuddled
Javier from behind. With a heartyugh, he greeted, “Christopher, long time no see.”
After he finished speaking, he scanned Isabe with his hawk–like, sharp eyes, but merely nodded
in acknowledgment, offering a superficial greeting,
Isabe had initially been admiring the handsome policeman. After all, the man’s appearance was
certainly poster–worthy. If he were to appear in a live stream, he would undoubtedly be hailed as a
heartthrob by viewers, a sight for sore eyes. However, upon noticing his acquaintance with
Christopher and his subsequent demeanor, Isabe carefully studied his features and rifled through
her memories.
Oh, now I remember. He’s Rnd Ford, one of Alexander’s close friends. They, along with Eleanor,
were university mates. Rnd shipped the two of them together and is aware of the real reason
behind our marriage… No wonder he’s so cold to me. I think he even stopped visiting the Quirk
manor after that incident, probably because he believed that the Quirks forced Alexander into the
marriage without considering his happiness.
Listening to her thoughts, Christopher felt awkward. He hadn’t expected Isabe to be so well–
informed. However, encountering Rnd here was quite a surprise.
“Why are you here?” Christopher asked.”
“Didn’t you call the police?” As Rnd spoke, he gestured toward his phone.
Christopher was taken aback, quickly checking his phone. Earlier, he had casually mentioned to
everyone that he received information from Isabe stating that all the evidence was in Javier’s
phone. Hence, Alexander provided the final n.
The strategy was simple: seize the opportunity when Javier was still in the dark to call the police,
catch him off guard, and bring him in with the evidence. Then there would be nothing to worry
about.
Coincidentally, Rnd had just returned from handling a case when Alexander contacted him
directly to take care of this particr matter.
Alexander subtly hinted to Rnd that, based on his covert investigation, Javier might be ying
innocent while actually being the culprit. However, they couldn’t openly voice this suspicion, so they
asked Rnd to conduct his own investigation. There was only one requirement: the moment he
caught the culprit, he needed to secure the evidence the phone without causing any further harm to
the victim.
–
Familiarity made things easier, and Rnd naturally trusted Alexander’s judgement. Thus, he
directly identified Javier as the suspect, whichpletely resolved Isabe and Christopher’s
concerns.
Surprisingly, Javier turned out to be such a fool. He put on a public disy of resisting arrest before
anything even happened, nearly turning himself into a fugitive.
Given that things were already arranged this way, Christopher immediately yed along with the
performance.
“Ah, my apologies. I heard you were going to call the police, so I drafted a message to help Ms.
Swanson

Damn! Christopher, you’re a genius, and your timing is impablet As the icing on the cake, we
even know this person so everything will be just fine once we have a little chat, right?
Feeling somewhat guilty, Christopher graciously epted the praise, silently apologizing to his
older brother for stealing his thunder,
Turning to the stunned onlookers, he asked, “Since the police are already here, will you file a report,
Ms. Swanson?”
Scarlett hadn’t yet recovered from the wave of doubts that had just washed over her. She always
harbored an extra ounce of reverence when dealing with the police. Hastily, she pulled out her
phone, carnestly exining the sequence of events.
“So, the photos were leaked from your phone?” Rnd looked flirectly at Javier.
Javier had already regained his senses and was trying to resist. “It was an unintentional mistake.
Why are you arresting me?”
Freya couldn’t help but want to step forward, finding it hard to bear watching her own son being
taken
away.
“You’ve got it all wrong. From now on, you’re the prime suspect.” Without wasting words, Rnd
immediately took the phone from Javier’s pocket, preserving it as evidence.
“What are you doing!” Javier almost shrieked. He could hardly believe how things had turned out.
“The prime suspect?” Freya eximed in surprise.
“Indeed. It’s typical in such cases that the perpetrator is someone known to the victim. Also, his
im of losing his phone is merely his side of the story. As long as we can find a reason for him
needing arge sum of money in a short period of time, it provides him with a solid motive to stage
a fake extortion case. For instance, he might have some bad habits or financial disputes…”
“Does gambling count?” Danielle chimed in just in time.
That single sentence struck like a bolt from the blue. The secret he thought was well hidden, the
one his ex–girlfriend had sworn not to reveal, was suddenly exposed..
“You… You… What did you say?” Javier was so overwhelmed that he almost fainted. Immediately
afterward, he red at Scarlett in anger.
Scarlett was also taken aback.
Danielle, however, innocently said, “Don’t me me. When the police ask questions, wemon
folk must cooperate. I mean, if you don’t want something known, then don’t do it. Besides, I do hear
some rumors in the industry.”

This was also a deration that Scarlett didn’t inform her about his gambling habit, to prevent
Javier from causing trouble for Scarlett with such an excuse after being acquitted.
“I didn’t!” Javier couldn’t muster the courage to look up anymore. He could feel the almost zing
gazeing from his mother.
“He gambles. I can vouch for that.” Scarlett suddenly spoke up.

Given everyone’s support for her, there was no way she could let them down at this point.

Javier looked at Scarlett in disbelief. A girl as obedient as her should be the one to uphold promises
the most. Even though they had broken up, he didn’t believe that Scarlett could expose someone
else’s secrets.
Yet, Scarlett watched him, numb and filled with sorrow. After all, they were once lovers. Sometimes,
they. were the ones who blinded each other the most, but at other times, they were the ones who
understood each other the best.
“He once deceived me out of ten million and gambled it away, after which we parted ways.”
She just never expected that some people could go to such insane lengths for the sake of
gambling.
Once this premise was epted, certain coincidences were no longer mere coincidences.
The truth of the matter seemed clear, even without an investigation.
Before anyone could react, Freya attempted to p Javier. Rnd, being quick–witted, dodged
immediately, pretending to break up the fight while actually allowing Freya to vent her anger first
“Was it you? Was it you who did this, you jerk? What on earth have you done! How could you
commit such an act? How could you face Scarlett, let alone me and your father? How could you
face…?”
“I didn’t do it! I didn’t…”
In the end, Javier was left with a face covered in blood, sobbing as he was led away by the newly–
arrived. police officers.
“Ms. Swanson, please rest assured. We will have professionals handle all the photos and videos.
We aremitted to protecting the personal and financial safety, as well as the reputation of every
citizen.”
Upon hearing these words, Scarlett was once again filled with overwhelming emotions, and she
began to cry heartily.
She had initially braced herself to face all the challenges that came her way, but unexpectedly,
everything was resolved out of the blue. She was clueless about who came to her aid, but she was
grateful to the heavens for not pushing her to the brink of despair.
Once the necessary documentation waspleted, Rnd asked, “Ms. Swanson, is there
anything else you wish to address? For instance, reiming that ten million”
Before Scarlett could respond, Freya, who had been silent thus far, spoke up. “We will return her
that
money.”
Freya turned to look at Scarlett. Suddenly, Scarlett felt somewhat at a loss, as kind–hearted people
often feel indebted to others.
Freya couldn’t bear it and said, “Please, don’t me yourself. It’s us who’ve wronged you; you
shouldn’t feel any guilt. You’re a good kid. It’s my fault for not raising my son properly, which led him
to hurt you so
much.”
She didn’t me Scarlett for not informing her about Javier’s gambling and borrowing money. After
all, at that time, Scarlett was merely Javier’s girlfriend, hardly rted to her in any significant way.
Scarlett was under no obligation to help her discipline her child.

Freya had a clear understanding of right and wrong. Moreover, she knew that the mistake Javier
had made was so grave that it was beyond her ability to rectify.
“You don’t need to concern yourself with anything else regarding this case. Handle it based on
whatever your investigation uncovers. I won’t plead for mercy, nor will I interfere. It’s high time he
learned his lesson.” Freya was a tough–as–nails mother, naturally capable of being stern when
necessary.
“Then will you be able to leave the hospital for the police station tomorrow, Ms. Swanson?” asked
Rnd,
Scarlett paused for a moment, her eyes flickering. Just as she was about to nod, she heard Isabe
abruptly interject, “Does that mean the live stream tomorrow is really not possible?”
Looks like Mr. Carey and Mr. Briggs are really going to kill themselves with this news.
Christopher cleared his throat. Noticing Rnd’s displeased expression, he said. “That might be
asking too much of Scarlett.
While Scarlett was at a loss for words, she heard Freya say, “I’m willing to apany you on this
final stage. You can’t let that brat ruin your big moment. Do you want to give up this opportunity?”
Scarlett’s eyes flickered for a moment before she gritted her teeth and finally spoke up. “I want to
take the stage.
In the end, Rnd agreed to help them out, showing some flexibility. When it came down to the
wire. Scarlett steeled herself and reported everything, including the matter of suing her own mother
and uncle.
Rnd nced at the shocked Sienna and Bartholomeo off to the side, raising an eyebrow as he
commented, “Quite a busy day today. I’ll need to call in some more guys.” Without further ado, he
immediately started contacting people.
Feeling panicked, Sienna and Bartholomeo had started berating and cursing Scarlett.
Scarlett remained unmoved, but it was Rnd who stepped in, rebuking sternly, “Enough! One
more word and it’ll be considered a threat to the victim.“”
Sienna and Bartholomeo cowered back in disbelief.
When Rnd finally left, surprisingly, it was Danielle who was the most enthusiastic in seeing him
off.
What is Danielle up to? Has she taken a fancy to him and wants to recruit him into the
entertainment industry?
Upon hearing this, Christopher almost stumbled. At first, he thought Isabe was saying Danielle
had taken a shine to Rnd and was about to pursue him. But after listening further, he came to
realize that in some ways, Isabe and Danielle were quite simr.
But all their guesses were probably wrong.
It seemed like Danielle was probably requesting he make a guest appearance for their stage y.
