Chapter 177
It was easy for Christopher to dig up dirt on Jayden.
After all, there weren’t many people in Quilton who wouldn’t dare help him.
Jayden’s team at the studio, for one, caved in after a few casual threats. and sold him outpletely.
Cecilia had nned to look into Jayden’s scandals herself, so she was surprised that Christopher had
already obtained the information for her.
An email notification rang out from her phone, but she ignored it.
Instead, she gazed at the man who was cold in front of others but always. warm and gentle to her.
Rather than thanking Christopher with words, Cecilia took the initiative and kissed him.
Having had several kissing experiences, there was no doubt she was getting better at it.
After a while, Christopher took charge and kissed her back assertively.
The driver in front of the couple had long gotten used to them showing their affection, so he merely
raised the partition screen in silence.
Just as the couple was locked in a deep, passionate kiss, one of their phones suddenly rang.
Cecilia could tell it was Evan calling and immediately pushed. Christopher away.
It wasn’t that she wanted to avoid suspicion, but she had forgotten to inform Evan about “John.”
As soon as she picked up the phone, Cecilia began exining the entire process of interrogating ke
in detail.
Evan wasn’t expecting to receive such great news, so it was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
“Got it. I’ll contact Aiden in a while and get him to find out who ‘John‘ might be.”
After all, Aiden held a lot of power, so it’d save plenty of time and effort if they put him in charge of the
cross–border investigation.
“Christopher and I will look into it, too. We’ll contact Aiden if we have

any information,” Cecilia said.
“Okay. By the way, are you guys still going to Acocester as nned?” “Yes. We’re taking the early flight
the day after tomorrow.”
“I’ll make all the arrangements. Don’t worry about it. I’ll see you guys at the Shaw residence, then.”
After hanging up the phone, Evan wasted no time calling Aiden.
At that moment, Aiden was in a meeting, so when he saw Evan’s iing call, he quickly paused the
discussion and stepped aside to answer his phone.
“Let’s talk about thister if it isn’t important,” he uttered.
Upon hearing that, Evan knew Aiden was busy.
“Aiden, the police in Quilton have arrested several suspects and obtained useful information. I’ll cote
everything and send it to youter. However, we’ll need you to help find out who John‘ is.”
I’m in a meeting now. I’ll look into itter,” Aiden replied curtly.
With that, he hung up the phone.
Evan, who was about to mention Charlie, had no choice but to stop himself.
He got up, walked to the south–facing windows, and gazed into the distance.
Yowhayton was in that direction!
As it turned out, Evan had decided that once Cecilia’s crisis was resolved. he’d apply to be transferred
to the troops stationed in Yowhayton.
He’d track down Charlie himself!
Meanwhile, Cecilia had arrived at Emerald Mansion.
“Rest early, Ceci. I’ll investigate John,” Christopher said as he removed his shoes.
s, even though Cecilia had been busy all day, she realized she wasn’t remotely sleepy.
I can’t sleep. Let me go through Jayden’s scandals and settle Fiona’s problem first
With that said, the couple went to the study and began working on the respective tasks.
Cecilia fished out her phone and clicked on the email sent by

Christopher.
There wasn’t a lot of dirt on Jayden because he had a meteoric rise to fame when he debuted, and
since his family was wealthy, the industry’s unwritten rules didn’t apply to him.
He focused on his career and barely had any rumors except for starting a business with his on–screen
love interest.
However, Jayden did spend a lot on boosting trending topics and deliberately digging up dirt on his
He had even caused various idents to prevent hispetitors from attending auditions, thereby
letting him clinch his desired roles.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, he was also incredibly disrespectful toward veteran actors who had lost
their fame and appeal.
Worst of all, he indiscriminately helped Juliana frame the actress, which led to thetter’s loss of
reputation and eventual death.
Upon seeing that, Cecilia gripped her phone so hard that the screen. began to crack.
She knew Jayden wasn’t as innocent as he seemed, but she never expected that he’d be the indirect
cause of someone’s death!
Furthermore, the poor actress who took her own life had yet to have her name cleared and was still
constantly chastised by the public.
Cecilia was so angry that she immediately called Jayden.
Jayden, who had paid the penalties for his contract, was in a good mood as he prepared to shower and
sleep.
Needless to say, he didn’t want to answer Cecilia’s call.
As such, he ignored the ringing and headed straight into the bathroom.
By the time he stepped back into his bedroom, it was already half an hourter.
He had taken a much longer bath than usual because he was in such a good mood.
After picking up the phone he had thrown on his bed, Jayden realized he had countless missed calls.
Some of those numbers were familiar, while others weren’t, but he knew most were from reporters and
media outlets.
Realizing something was amiss, Jayden quickly looked through the phone records and dialed Cecilia’s
number.

Unfortunately, Cecilia had blocked his number, so any contact between them would have to be initiated
by her.
Eventually, Jayden settled for a reporter he was familiar with and made the call.
“Morgan, why are you calling me at this hour? What’s the matter?”
“Something big has happened!” the reporter, Morgan Foley, eximed.
Judging by his tone, it was clear he was bubbling with excitement.
“Mr. Yancey, how about I pay 2 million dors for an exclusive interview with you? This is thest time
you can make such good money, so don’t miss the opportunity.”
Naturally, Jayden was confused. “What do you mean by that?”
“Oh, you’ve yet to know what’s happened, huh? Please check Cecilia’s official Twitter ount first, Mr.
Yancey. You can call me backter.”
As soon as the call ended, Jayden looked up Cecilia’s official Twitter
ount.
s, he realized he couldn’t view the posts!
Undeterred, he logged off his ount and returned to her page as a
guest.
When he finally read the pinned post, his eyes almost popped out of his
head.
There wasn’t much to see because it was only one short paragraph: [Jayden Yancey has something to
do with Joyce Jansen’s death. Exclusive news to be revealed at nine o’clock tomorrow.]
Joyce Jansen was none other than the actress who had been forced to end her own life by Jayden.
Even though she wasn’t particrly famous and yed only small roles, her performances were
memorable, and she was undeniably a versatile.
actress.
Furthermore, she was very dedicated to her craft, and many directors. had high hopes of her gaining
fame in the future.
Sadly, her reputation was ruined by Jayden, and the cyberbullying was so damaging that she decided
to end it all!
Of course, Jayden knew very well why Joyce had done the unthinkable. However, he didn’t think he
was in the wrong.

He might have ruined Joyce’s reputation, but he had also nned to make up for it by giving her some
good roles. s, she couldn’t handle the pressure and chose to take her own life.
After she died, he even had someone transfer arge sum of money to her family so he wouldn’t owe
her anything.
Having recalled those memories, Jayden became very irritable.
“How did Cecilia even find out that I framed Joyce? That’s something only my team knows…” he

thought.
The next second, his gaze darkened, and he immediately called his assistant.
To his shock, the assistant’s phone was turned off!
He tried calling the others on his team, but their phones were off, too!
Panicked, Jayden dialed Cecilia’s number over and over again.
He knew there was no way of getting through, but it was as though he was moving on autopilot.
p!
Jayden pped himself hard and muttered bitterly, “Why didn’t I answer Cecilia’s call earlier? This is all
my fault!”
After berating himself, he left the house and made a beeline for Emerald Mansion to look for Cecilia.
No matter what, he couldn’t let the matter be exposed. Otherwise, it’d be the end of his acting career!
