Although Danielle wasn't quite sure how Isabella had come to this conclusion, she agreed that going to the hospital first was the right move.
After all, Danielle was getting ready to sign a contract with Scarlett, so there was no way she could ignore the latter at this point.
Originally, Danielle didn't want Christopher and Isabella to go, fearing they might be photographed. However, Isabella insisted on going, leaving Danielle with no choice. Naturally, Christopher also ended up going along.
In the car, Danielle was frantically reaching out to her contacts trying to figure out what was going on. However, even those within her circle were confused and clueless about what had happened. When they heard the news, they were all somewhat stunned. However, it wasn't long before Danielle found some new negative information about Scarlett in the social media posts of her haters.
"These people really have no decency, photoshopping images like this. Aren't they afraid of getting sued? I bet it's the work of some misguided, mindless haters."
Danielle couldn't help but express her irritation. She didn't connect the two incidents though. After all, it was quite common for well-known celebrities to have such scandalous gossip. If Danielle was already Scarlett's manager, she could have handled it in no time. Isabella held her phone, her hand slightly trembling as she, too, looked at those photos.
In one of the photos, Scarlett was sprawled out on the bed, seemingly asleep. It was unclear whether she was dressed, as only a blanket covered her key areas, leaving the rest of her body with several hickeys - on display. It was evident that the photo was taken after a sexual encounter.
This photo had just managed to skirt the edge of the review process, which was why it had been up for so long without getting taken down.
Gradually, people started to share these photos, initiating a minor spread.
However, the majority of people were reporting the bloggen thinking it was absurd. They couldn't believe that someone like Scarlett, known for her kind-hearted and beautiful image, would take such photos. Even in her acting roles, she had never revealed so much of her body.
Thus, they surmised the photos had to be fake, the product of someone trying to tarnish her reputation because of her current popularity.
Naturally, Christopher had also seen those photos. He furrowed his brows slightly before turning to look at-Isabella, who was next to him. It was the first time he had seen her look so upset, with a face as dark as thunder. He couldn't even hear her inner thoughts, clearly indicating that she was too angry to even think straight.
Combined with the insult she received previously, it appeared that Scarlett's attempt to end her life had something to do with Javier.
As Christopher looked over these photos again, it wasn't hard for him to draw certain conclusions. For instance, these photos might have been leaked from Javier. He had heard that some men enjoyed taking intimate photos with their girlfriends However the risk of eveure un inevitable with much beencakes

Upon viewing these photos and the reactions of the netizens, Christopher felt that Scarlett shouldn't have been so fragile as to reach the point of ending herself. How did it escalate to such a level?
The group quickly arrived at the hospital and swiftly found out the room number. As they were heading over, they saw Sienna and Bartholomeo standing at the door, speaking in hushed tones with troubled expressions.
At that moment, Christopher heard a mental snort coming from Isabella before her contemptuous words followed. If Javier is a monster, then these two are far worse. If it weren't for them, Scarlett wouldn't have been driven to despair and taken her own life.
Christopher's curiosity was piqued even more. His phone was vibrating with messages from their family group chat. Everyone had heard the news and knew that they had gone to the hospital.
In such a situation, they naturally couldn't just head over, but their curiosity was piqued about what exactly had happened. If necessary, they were undoubtedly ready to step in and fight for justice.
Sienna and Bartholomeo quickly noticed their arrival, but their expressions turned sour the moment they saw Danielle.
"What are you here for?" Bartholomeo asked rudely.
Danielle didn't bear around the bush with them, saying outright, "Scarlett will soon be my artist, so I'm here to see if there's anything I can assist with."
"Bullsh*t! Scarlett would never disband her agency, Bartholomeo immediately retorted. It was clear that he had already learned about Scarlett's decision and was extremely upset about it.
Sienna also said with a stern gaze, "There's no need for you all to interfere. Please leave."
"First, you forced your daughter into marriage, then you prevented her friends from visiting. Don't I have a right to suspect that you've harmed Scarlett?" Isabella said coldly. "If you don't let us see Scarlett, we'll have no choice but to call the police."
In reality, Isabella's words held no weight. They were merely an attempt to intimidate. But Sienna and Bartholomeo were not the type to be easily frightened, so Danielle and Christopher both believed that her words were pointless.
The very next second, Sienna and Bartholomeo's faces turned pale as a sheet, their eyes flickering uncertainly. Despite still sporting a stern expression, they didn't dare to chase Isabella and her group away.
"What nonsense are you spouting? We are her closest kin! How could we possibly harm her?"
"Exactly! Don't think just because you're some Justice Upholder in the entertainment industry that you can say whatever you want. W-We are the ones who would call the police."
This blatant guilt caused Danielle's expression to change instantly, prompting her to immediately take out her phone.
Upon seeing her reach for the phone, Sienna and Bartholomeo assumed she was calling the police, which instantly frightened them considerably,
Immediately, Sienna said, "Go in if you want to. She's sill unconscious anyway." Finishing her words, she

Isabella scoffed, taking the lead as she walked in.

Danielle and Christopher followed, and only when the hospital room door closed did Danielle fail to contain herself any longer. "Could it be..."
Christopher cast a glance at Isabella and said, "They must have done something wrong, and that's why they're feeling guilty."
Of course, they're feeling guilty. When Scarlett was at her wits end and desperately turned to them for financial help. she discovered that her savings of many years had been secretly transferred to her cousin. Scarlett should have still had that ten million, so her mother and uncle thought they wouldn't be exposed. Little did they know, Scarlett's money had been swindled away by Javier long ago. Therefore, Scarlett had no choice but ask them for money, not realizing that her last lifeline had been severed. She had been deceived, betrayed by an old love and by her own kin. Under the weight of these dual betrayals, she became despondent, and that's why
Upon hearing Isabella's thoughts, Christopher finally understood part of the truth. He was so infuriated that he clenched his fists, itching to turn around and punch the heartless duo.
Because of Luna, Christopher truly despised parents who didn't love their own children. He was determined to make them-pay when the opportunity arose.
But on another note, what exactly was the matter that left Scarlett with no other options?
Just after passing through the foyer, they saw Freya stepping out.
"Mdm. Pearson?" the trio exclaimed in surprise.
Freya nodded in greeting. "I heard some noise and thought there might be a conflict, so I came over." She was aware of the situation with the manager and naturally knew those two would cause trouble for Isabella and the others, so she personally came to pick them up Sienna and Bartholomeo were probably still indulging in the dream of becoming in-laws with her, so they didn't have any objections to Freya being here.
Upon seeing Freya; Isabella's face fell, and she quickly strode inside.
Christopher could clearly see the murderous look in Isabella's eyes.
In no time, Isabella came to a halt. Her gaze was firmly fixed on the person beside the sickbed.
Javier appeared to be in a daze as he held onto his phone tightly.
It seemed as though the idea of his beloved taking her own life was hard to accept. Danielle frowned slightly upon seeing this, and Christopher began to believe that Javier had unintentionally leaked the photos, leading to these unfortunate events. However, the very next moment, he heard mocking words ringing in Isabella's mind.
You shameless b*stard, playing the guilt-stricken act now, huh? When you were staging your little scheme to swindle Scarlett out of her money, did you never consider that she might take her own life?
The look in Christopher's eyes instantly shifted as he continued to stare at Javier.
