Chapter 175 You Really Are A Disappointing Son

Upon hearing these thoughts, the Quirk family suddenly realized that the entertainment industry was truly about to experience a major upheaval.

Artists would be arrested, banned, and have their contracts terminated. Many shootings would be suspended. Moreover, these artists might implicate even more people, making it hard to imagine how busy the entertainment industry staff would be in the coming days. This situation could potentially lead to a thorough cleansing of anyone involved with these illicit activities in the entertainment circle.

And all of this stemmed from a stage play featuring a retired detection dog-who could have predicted

that?

"There's an entertainment company under Quirk Group. What about their artists?" David frowned.

Christopher laughed. "No wonder Alex was in a good mood when he left this morning."

"Could it be that there were no issues?" Selena asked.

Christopher replied, "Who knows? I think Alex might see this as an opportunity to eliminate the bad- apples, benefiting future development."

Just then, Isabella said, "There's news!"

Everyone immediately checked their phones, and sure enough, the trending search had an official announcement at the top.

The announcement was about last night's incident involving Javier.

The charges of drug trafficking were confirmed, and he would inevitably face several years in prison. The reason for his trafficking was also revealed: to repay his gambling debts. This even led to the discovery that, some of his friends in the industry also had gambling debts, resulting in the shutdown of an underground

casino.

This dispelled the previous rumors.

One comment read: He claimed he did it out of obsessive love, which is utterly disgusting.

Another read: The fact that people from his circle banded together to pressure someone into marriage is chilling. Were they trying to get an easy mark?

One netizen commented: It's truly heartbreaking to see love and marriage being used for manipulation.

Another agreed: When their schemes failed, they resorted to setting traps. This makes me so terrified of men.

One netizen replied: There are still many good men in the world. Let's not be sexist.

One comment read: Women, remember to stay away from men who gamble or engage in shady activities. Don't think you can save them. Another read: I remember when Javier said in an interview that many of his elders were military heroes he admired but he ended up....

At the police station, Javier cried out, "Mom, Mom, save me. I didn't mean it. I really didn't want this to get so serious! I don't want to go to jail. Please, pull some strings for me..."

Before Javier could finish, Freya slapped him. The police didn't stop her.

"How dare you mention family! Have you thought about your grandparents and great-grandparents? Did you ever consider our family's reputation when you did this?" Freya's eyes were bloodshot with grief and disappointment.

Javier was stunned. He had indeed thought about them, which was why he never dared to admit to the fraud. Why couldn't his mother understand?

"Your deceased father would wish he never had a child like you!" Freya's anger boiled over, and she blurted out recklessly.

As soon as she said it, Javier looked up fiercely, his eyes filled with hatred. "I turned out this way because of you! Do you know why I started gambling? It's because of you!"

Freya looked at Javier in shock, tears swirling in her gaze. "What did you say?"

Javier's eyes were filled with resentment. "If it weren't for you being so strict, forbidding me from doing this or trying that, I wouldn't have turned to gambling under the pressure. I just wanted to relax a little. If it weren't for your reputation and for not wanting to disappoint you, I wouldn't have denied gambling fraud. To cover it up, I hid the drugs. All of this is because of you. You're a failed mother! So, you're the last person who has the right to criticize me!"

Javier vented his anger frantically, making the surrounding police frown.

Freya stumbled back a step, almost unable to stand. She had indeed been strict with Javier, fearing to make mistakes in raising him without a husband's help. Thus, she had to put up a tough front.

She respected her son. Even though she didn't even like him being a rapper and would have preferred him. to enlist in the military or become an actor, where their family could have supported him, since he said it was his dream, even if it didn't pay well and he struggled, she didn't interfere.

She was strict but loved him deeply, yet he still blamed her in the end.

Roland stepped out at this moment, his expression serious. "Adults should take responsibility for their actions because the decisions were yours to make! At your age, you're a failed son as you still need your mother to worry about you! You're the last person who has the right to criticize her!"

If Isabella had been there, she would have applauded. Why could Javier criticize his mother, but Freya couldn't criticize her son? Just because of the title "mother," should she bear all the blame?

Javier's face flushed and paled. But as he was about to be taken away by the police, he instinctively trembled and cried, pleading for Freya's help.

But Freya was already heartbroken. Maybe she truly had failed.

As

Ax Javier was being taken away, they passed by the room where Linda was being detained.

Hearing her godson's cries, Linda anxiously shouted, "This must be a mistake! You must have the wrong person. My godson couldn't possibly be trafficking drugs! Let him go!"

The police interrogating Linda were impatient. "Mdm. Pearson, your issues aren't resolved yet. Stop

Linda had been asked several times. Now that she knew Javier was being taken away, she caused a scene. "You're treating me like a criminal! My father owns Pearson Group! I... I won't say another word. Get my lawyer! I'll file a complaint against you "Please cooperate!"

Linda refused and even challenged the police's authority, making them frown coldly.

Finally, someone arrived. Linda expected it to be her parents with a lawyer but was surprised to see a

young woman.

The young woman, dressed smartly, said she was there to handle Linda's matters.

Linda asked suspiciously. "Who are you? Who sent you? Are you a lawyer? Why did they send a young girl like you?"

The woman gave her a cold glance before reporting her name to the police.

The familiar name twisted Linda's expression. The woman was her estranged biological daughter, Stephanie Nox.

Stephanie had just returned to visit her grandparents when she learned about Linda's scandal, which had upset them greatly. Left with no choice, she came to handle the situation.

Linda didn't know about Javier's drug trafficking, but her suspicious behavior and unwilling involvement made the situation complicated. She wouldn't be leaving the police station today. "Stay here. I'll arrange for a lawyer," Stephanie said coldly without looking at Linda.

Seemingly resentful, Linda demanded, "Why are you here? To see me humiliated? Are you planning to

slack off and take this chance to get back at me?"

Stephanie sneered, "Revenge on you? You're not worth my time. If it weren't for our grandparents, I wouldn't care about you! I just never expected..."
