Isabella discovered that all of this was orchestrated by Linda's lawyer who advised Javier to say that. They had

completely downplayed the severity of the matter, turning it into a simple romantic dispute. Normally, when

dealing with individuals who had previously been in a romantic relationship, the approach was similar to handling

domestic violence cases, with the primary focus being on educational principles. The severity of the situation

was merely due to Scarlett's suicide.

Javier insisted that he had no idea that Scarlett would crumble under the pressure and lose hope. He couldn't be

blamed for this. After all, it was her own family who had swindled her out of her money, leaving her with no way

out,

The most crucial point was that after being blackmailed, Scarlett hadn't actually transferred any money.

Furthermore, there was no evidence found that indicated Javier had any gambling debts. The only things that

could be traced were the photos and threatening messages, all of which were sent by Javier. The photos were

merely a bit more provocative than usual.

So, as long as Javier insisted that all of this was just a little ploy to win back his girlfriend, it was indeed hard to

judge it as something serious.

Sickly released.

With Linda's assistance, Javier was

The only silver lining was that the police had already dealt with all the private photos and videos stored in

Javier's phone. They ensured that there were no remnants left in any storage space. Hence, Scarlett no longer

had any incriminating evidence left in Javier's possession.

But Scarlett would still need to consult with a lawyer for the subsequent issue of filing a lawsuit. After all, the

case was ongoing. It was just a matter of shifting the perspective to fight for her rights.

Roland didn't elaborate on the details. In truth, he hadn't given up on investigating Javier's gambling debt. The

fact that there was a debt but no trace of it suggested the possibility of an underground casino. If he managed to

trace this back to sunderground forces, that would certainly be a feather in his cap.

However, on the surface, Roland still suggested that they inform Scarlett. After the performance, they should

promptly attend to the case.

Listening to Rosalie's brief rundown of the situation, Isabella and Christopher grimaced.

Linda is such a fool... Wait a minute. She even had the audacity to call and argue with Mdm, Pearson, firmly

believing that Javier had simply lost his way because of Scarlett. She thought Scarlett shouldn't have called the

police at all and blamed her for scaring her precious godson.

She still doesn't believe that Javier has becobsessed with gambling. Her blind support for Javier is really

something

Christopher and Rosalie recalled the first tLinda cto their home, and they couldn't help but shake their

heads in disgust.

It was no surprise that Javier turned out this way, with such a biased godmother who could never see his Taults.

Regardless of his mistakes, he knew there was always someone on his side.

secrecy? How is he going to repay the debt?

Christopher and Rosalie were also a bit puzzled upon hearing this.

Oh, | see. Because he's under suspicion from the police, he doesn't dare to demand a large amount of money. He

has no other way. Hahaha. I'm really curious. What would he do if debt collectors cknocking on his door?

Suddenly, Isabella felt that not Javier being arrested by the police might not be such a good thing after all. There

was no telling what those powers behind the scenes would make him do.

Meanwhile, Freya had just hung up the phone on Linda's incessant chatter. Linda had been blaming her, accusing

her of trusting a stranger over her own son. She said that Freya failed to help her son out of his predicament and

even aided the culprit. She even lost her temper and threatened to confront Scarlett in person later.

Freya couldn't be bothered with Linda. She was just very disappointed. She had thought that by now, her son

should have recognized his mistakes and faced everything honestly. But unexpectedly, her son had even lied to

the judicial authorities.

Freya relayed the outcto Scarlett and reassured her, "Don't worry. | won't let them bother you. As for the

case, you should pursue it to the end. I can't let him think he can get away with such behavior so easily." Scarlett

was somewhat dazed. She couldn't bear to look at Freya. "Mdm. Pearson..."

"If possible, | hope you can make the details of this matter public, so he won't think he can get away with

everything and harm others in the future. Don't worry. I'll stand by your side," Freya said with determination.

Scarlett was shocked and remained silent, ignoring the speculation of netizens. Truth be told, the silence was not

in her favor, considering she was the victim in this situation. She could have revealed everything to garner

sympathy. Indeed, she had contemplated exposing everything and retaliating against Javier for all he had done

to her. After all, it was unlikely that any more indecent photos or videos would be leaked now.

However, doing so would completely ruin Javier. It wasn't that she felt sympathy for Javier, but rather, she felt a

pang of sorrow for Freya who had always protected her.

Perhaps sensing Scarlett's concerns, Freya said straightforwardly, "You don't need to think so much. These issues

will surface sooner or later. You may not realize it, but his godmother might go to great lengths to attack you.

Instead of sitting back and waiting for the inevitable, it's better if you take the initiative and confront everything

head-on."

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, Freya was certainly well-versed in various tactics. She

couldn't allow Linda to continue creating chaos with her son. She was determined to take control of her son once

and for all, knocking him down a peg and re- educating him from scratch. Freya understood the principle that

without destruction, there could be no rebirth. If she didn't make a harsh decision now, Javier might make even

bigger mistakes. Perhaps by then, it would be difficult for her to bring her son back and re-educate him.

"All right, I've decided to sign the contract with Danielle. I'll ask her later about the specific arrangements."

Observing Freya's unwavering determination, Scarlett also steeled her resolve. In a way, this marked her final

effort to aid Javier, guiding him back onto the correct

path.

Freya flashed a smile, but the weariness in her eyes was palpable. Yet in the blink of an eye, she was back to

being the strict mother.

She gave Javier her final warning: No matter how deep in debt you are, I'll help you pay it off this time. But the

condition is that you must take responsibility for your own mistakes and not run away. As long as you can

recognize and correct your wrongs, it's never too late to turn things around.

Scarlett gazed at Freya, contemplating that if they were mother and daughter, their story would certainly have a

beautiful ending, just like a stage play. It would stand to prove that a single mother could also build a wonderful

family and provide a wholeseducation for her child. Regrettably, their pairings were all wrong.

Javier, who received the message, was in Linda's car.

He was gazing at his phone, his mind wavering, when suddenly, an anonymous message popped up. His body

stiffened, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Linda's voice rang out in his ears. "Javier, don't be afraid. I'm here to fight for justice on your behalf. Your mother

has gone too far. You did nothing wrong. But even if you did, so what? You're her flesh and blood. She should be

unconditionally supportive of you. She's completely stripped you of your dignity by letting you get arrested like

this and letting everyone online know. How can she bear to see you suffer like this? You might as well cut ties

with her. From now on, stick with me. I'll provide for you and protect you. After a hundred years, I'll make sure to

bring your father to task for choosing such a cold-hearted and ruthless woman in the first place."

"Aunt Linda, could you stop at the gas station for a bit?" Javier asked abruptly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"I... I need to use the restroom."

After speaking, Javier texted Freya back: Mom, you've really misunderstood me. How could | possibly have

gambling debts? Both you and Scarlett have misunderstood me. She also got it wrong last time. My intent in

threatening her was merely to win her back, but | used the wrong approach. I'll explain everything to you later.
