Chapter 162 What Was That Look In His Eyes

Christopher's mind was whirring when he heard the resentful mental voice of Isabella once again.

Dmn it! It turns out he isn't feeling guilt over Scarlett but rather a sense of helplessness and fear from not being able to secure the money to repay the debt on time!

With this, Christopher finally understood.

As it turned out, Javier hadn't given up after all. He was still fixated on Scarlett. When his marriage proposal failed, he resorted to blackmail.

That meant Javier had willingly disseminated those photos. Perhaps he had even made more outrageous threats, which resulted in Scarlett being so frightened that she wanted to pay money to ward off disaster, only to find herself penniless,

This kind of beastly behavior had Christopher on the verge of marching forward and punching Javier. If looks could kill, Javier would be dead several times over by now.

However, Javier was completely oblivious, his eyes vacant as if he wasn't even there.

"What on earth happened?" Danielle immediately asked Freya.

Freya sighed deeply, her gaze filled with worry as she looked at Scarlett lying on the bed. "We really don't know much either. All we knew was that she didn't show up for rehearsal. By the time we got in touch with her mom, we heard there had been an accident, so we rushed over here. When I asked her mother and uncle, they played dumb, but they were acting so suspiciously. I suspect that they had something to do with whatever happened to Scarlett," Freya said disdainfully.

Danielle sighed. "She was such a strong girl. What on earth could have happened to make her lose hope like this?"

Upon hearing this exchange, the previously dazed Javier finally showed some reaction. He looked at the unconscious Scarlett with an incredibly distressed expression.

D"mn it, I can't stand it anymore. What's that look in his eyes? Resentment? Is he blaming Scarlett for her low tolerance? Is he annoyed that her attempt to end her life has delayed his debt repayment schedule? Isabella was absolutely fuming.

Before Isabella could even think of a way to deal with the situation, Christopher suddenly stepped forward, walking up to Javier's side, looking as if he was about to greet him.

However, Christopher stumbled, taking a fall right on flat ground. In an instinctive attempt to maintain his balance, he reached out to brace himself. Unexpectedly, Javier, who was sitting in the chair ahead, was caught off guard and shoved over.

With a shriek, Javier tumbled from his chair, his body forcefully colliding with the nearby wall. The commotion was significant, startling everyone present.

Javier winced in pain, his face contorted. His wrist quickly swelled and turned red

"Are you all right?" Christopher asked in a panic, rushing to help Javier. He grabbed the other's wrist, unintentionally aggravating the injury more. The pain made Javier cry out, his face turning red. He
