Chapter 170: Gossip 170

Chapter 170 A Seal Of Authenticity 3 Finished 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 name of 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 just me or does this all seem rather surreal? Why would Mdm. Pearson act out this scenario with 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: I 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: I think it makes sense to interpret this scene as the boyfriend taking a photo of his girlfriend while she was sleeping without her permission.

BB Chapter 170 A Seal Of Authenticity Finished Netizen: Taking photos is just a sweet little gesture between lovers, isn’t it? The drama unfolding on this stage is surely not real. I 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 novel did you read that messed with your head? Tell me so I 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 I was more foolish. When I found out, he looked at me with eyes full of love, telling me it was because he loved me. He wanted to have a glimpse of me from time to 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. I didn’t ask him to delete them. However, when he fell out of love with me and grew tired of our relationship, those photos became his bragging rights on forums after we broke up. It became the 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 internet is 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 I saw, Javier forcefully proposing, I 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: I 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. I 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.

DIAM BB.

Chapter 170 A Seal Of Authenticity for a while.

白菜气60%备 Finished 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 believe me if I praised their performance during the post–

show interview? Just thinking about it is giving me so 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 some action.”

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 same way. 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.
