Down below the stage, the members of the Quirk family were left utterly speechless and astounded.

"Did they just act out the truth?" David asked in disbelief.

"But didn't Roland mention that..." Selena said, her worried gaze shifting toward the man beside her who was

holding a bouquet of flowers.

This time, Alexander was also present. After all, it was Isabella's final stage play.

Alexander said, "Actually, this is quite a smart move. Even if the other party doesn't admit it, they can't accuse

this stage of defamation. It's pretty good." David and Selena breathed a sigh of relief.

Evian, in surprise, exclaimed, "So, they made a spur-of-the-moment decision, just like Ms. Yancey, who always

improvises on the spot. No wonder they signed Scarlett. Her acting skills are really impressive. You can't tell at

all that it was all improvised on the spot." The other members of the Quirk family also nodded in agreement.

However, after witnessing this part of the performance, the surrounding audience had already begun to gossip.

After all, the incident involving Scarlett's suicide and Javier's arrest had caused quite a stir. If one were to

disregard all the cause-and-effect relationships in between, it essentially matched up with the performance on

stage.

The netizens were in an uproar. They were the first to receive new information and had just seen the news that

Javier had been released. Moreover, Linda's lawyer had already reached out to media outlets before the news

broke to circulate speculative stories about Javier's mistakes made in the nof love. This had already sparked

a small wave of attention.

However, with the stage play now, everything turned upside down.

The comments were flooding in.

Netizen: What's going on? Didn't Javier just get released? If things went as they portrayed, that would make

Javier a legit criminal. He shouldn't have been released at all!

Netizen: Is it justor does this all seem rather surreal? Why would Mdm. Pearson act out this scenawith

Scarlett? Just whose mother exactly is she?

Netizen: She's prioritizing justice over familial bonds. His mother has made her judgment. The truth of the

matter is definitely as such.

Netizen: | refuse to believe it. There's no way Javier could be at fault. The fact that he was released proves his

innocence. I'll always stand by Javier. It's Scarlett who's the real problem! Those explicit photos are the evidence.

Netizen: Seriously, are you blind? Those photos clearly look like they were taken secretly.

Netizen: | think it makes sense to interpret this scene as the boyfriend taking a photo of his girlfriend while she

was sleeping without her permission.

Netizen: Taking photos is just a sweet little gesture between lovers, isn't it? The unfolding on this stage is

surely not real. | heard that the so-called threat is just a show put on to coax Scarlett into coming back. And this

talk of financial deception is just utter nonsense. After all, Javier's family is already wealthy. Besides, isn't this

kind of deep-seated obsession quite domineering and romantic?

Netizen: What kind of did you read that messed with your head? Tellso | can avoid it. If something like

this happens in real life, please call the police, all right?

Netizen: No matter what happened afterward, the fact that he secretly took photos is indisputable. Men like

these are utterly disgusting!

Netizen: I've been secretly photographed too, but | was more foolish. When | found out, he looked atwith

eyes full of love, tellingit was because he loved me. He wanted to have a glimpse offrom tto time,

to keep those images, hoping that when we were old and grey, we could look back at these photos and recall

how passionately we loved each other then. | didn't ask him to delete them. However, when he fell out of love

withand grew tired of our relationship, those photos bechis bragging rights on forums after we broke

up. It becthe subject of discussion among men.

Netizen: It's one thing for Scarlett to be unaware, but you just don't know how to protect yourself. You believe

you're the most special person in a man's life, thinking you're so unique that they would never dare to hurt you.

That's just plain foolish. When a man loves you, it's real. But when he doesn't, his indifference is just as real.

Netizen: Ah, what does it matter? Even if it comes to light, can you prove who it is? After all, the current face-

swapping technology is so advanced. If someone insists it's you, just demand they provide evidence to back it

up.

Netizen: We all enter this world naked, and everything else is like fleeting clouds. Nothing holds a candle to life

itself. After all, people are known for their fleeting enthusiasm, forgetting what they've seen in an instant. No one

is the protagonist of the world. Why concern ourselves with the opinions of others? Just focus on living our own

lives well.

Netizen: Absolutely! But girls, always be cautious. No matter how much you love your man, no matter how

wonderful he seems at this moment, no matter how his charm and playfulness melt your heart, always keep your

guard up. Believe that someone who truly loves you would never leave any room for the world to harm you! If he

does otherwise, it only proves that his interests outweigh any potential harm he could cause you.

Netizen: I'm a guy, and there's no way I'd dare to take a picture of my loved one. What if my phone gets lost?

What if my computer gets a virus? With how unsafe the inteis these days, I'd rather die than take a risk like

that! Any man who'd think of doing such a thing must be out of his mind.

Netizen: Even before, when | saw, Javier forcefully proposing, | felt there was something off about his character.

Netizen: Wait, a sudden thought just struck me. Could Javier's forceful proposal have been a desperate attempt

to pay off his gambling debts? Was the threat only made after his proposal failed? Netizen: It's also plausible that

he proposed out of love, and when the proposal failed, he threatened out of love too. This explanation makes

sense, doesn't it?

Netizen: So, are you suggesting that this stage play is a lie?

Netizen: | wouldn't dare to claim that. Perhaps it was merely a coincidence that the plot unfolded as it did. After

all, this isn't the stage play of Isabella. | prefer to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Things didn't unfold entirely as

Danielle and the others had anticipated at their best, but it still achieved the purpose of revealing the truth.

The truth about the extortion and gambling was so abrupt that it wasn't the focus of everyone's discussion.

Interestingly, Javier's reputation had already been overwhelmingly tarnished with criticism and insults.

Backstage, Danielle clicked her tongue twice, then turned to look at Isabella. "It seems your image is cast in

stone. You're like a seal of authenticity. If you didn't reveal the scandal, people wouldn't even bat an eye."

Isabella's lips twitched. Would everyone believeif | praised their performance during the post-show

interview? Just thinking about it is givingso much pressure!

Christopher and Rosalie struggled to stifle their laughter. They couldn't deny the possibility. It was as if the

judgment had been passed by Justice Upholder.

Before long, the performance by Scarlett and Freya was nearing its conclusion.

The trainer led the police dog backstage, where they met with Isabella and her group. Isabella and Christopher

greeted the police dog, who responded with a joyous wag of its tail.

"Thanks in advance," Isabella said with a smile, patting the dog's head.

"Don't be nervous," Christopher said seriously.

The trainer chuckled. "Don't worry. Sven has seen it all. It's quite excited now. Since its retirement, it hasn't had

the chance to carry out any missions, and it's been absolutely itching for saction."

Sven puffed up its chest with pride, eager and ready to take on the challenge,

As the applause erupted from outside, their performance began.

At that time, Linda had already driven Javier to the broadcast studio. It was just then that her lawyer called her.

After watching the replay of the live broadcast, she immediately saw red.

"How could your mom do this to you? She's practically ruining you! Doesn't she trust you at all? No, we need to

confront her!"

Javier looked at the trending topics with a grim expression. He had been trying his best to salvage everything,

yet they seemed intent on ruining him.

The lawyer said it was fortunate that it was only a performance. The netizens were also watching with a wait-

and-see approach. They should seize an opportunity to clarify things during the live broadcast; otherwise, it

could lead to complications. Linda thought the sway. Given that Scarlett was so ruthless and unjust, she,

too, was determined to expose her for her thieving ways.

With resentment, she traced the pearl necklace around her neck.

Scarlett schemed to destroy Javier, all while portraying herself as the victim and seeking personal advancement.

Linda would never permit her to trample on her beloved godson in pursuit of power.

After getting out of the car, Linda noticed that Javier hadn't moved. "Javier, stop wasting time. Let's go!"

Just as Javier was about to get up, he stiffened slightly, hesitating. Noticing the surveillance cameras all around,

he felt rather uncomfortable sitting alone in the car. He had no choice but to follow Linda to the broadcast studio.

Autenticity

When they arrived, Isabella and Christopher's performance was already halfway through.
