It wasn't until Christopher greeted one of the police officers that everyone finally snapped back to reality.

""Roland?"

The dashing police officer who had made the arrest rose to his feet, handcuffing the befuddled Javier from behind. With a hearty laugh, he greeted, "Christopher, long time no see."

After he finished speaking, he scanned Isabella with his hawk-like, sharp eyes, but merely nodded in acknowledgment, offering a superficial greeting,

Isabella had initially been admiring the handsome policeman. After all, the man's appearance was certainly poster-worthy. If he were to appear in a live stream, he would undoubtedly be hailed as a heartthrob by viewers, a sight for sore eyes. However, upon noticing his acquaintance with Christopher and his subsequent demeanor, Isabella carefully studied his features and rifled through her memories.

Oh, now I remember. He's Roland Ford, one of Alexander's close friends. They, along with Eleanor, were university mates. Roland shipped the two of them together and is aware of the real reason behind our marriage... No wonder he's so cold to me. I think he even stopped visiting the Quirk manor after that incident, probably because he believed that the Quirks forced Alexander into the marriage without considering his happiness.

Listening to her thoughts, Christopher felt awkward. He hadn't expected Isabella to be so well-informed. However, encountering Roland here was quite a surprise.

"Why are you here?" Christopher asked."

"Didn't you call the police?" As Roland spoke, he gestured toward his phone.

Christopher was taken aback, quickly checking his phone. Earlier, he had casually mentioned to everyone that he received information from Isabella stating that all the evidence was in Javier's phone. Hence, Alexander provided the final plan.

The strategy was simple: seize the opportunity when Javier was still in the dark to call the police, catch him off guard, and bring him in with the evidence. Then there would be nothing to worry about.

Coincidentally, Roland had just returned from handling a case when Alexander contacted him directly to take care of this particular matter.

Alexander subtly hinted to Roland that, based on his covert investigation, Javier might be playing innocent while actually being the culprit. However, they couldn't openly voice this suspicion, so they asked Roland to conduct his own investigation. There was only one requirement: the moment he caught the culprit, he needed to secure the evidence the phone without causing any further harm to the victim.

Familiarity made things easier, and Roland naturally trusted Alexander's judgement. Thus, he directly identified Javier as the suspect, which completely resolved Isabella and Christopher's concerns.

Surprisingly, Javier turned out to be such a fool. He put on a public display of resisting arrest before anything even happened, nearly turning himself into a fugitive.

Given that things were already arranged this way, Christopher immediately played along with the performance.

"Ah, my apologies. I heard you were going to call the police, so I drafted a message to help Ms. Swanson
