Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self r

Chapter 476 Cunning Tactics James took Scarlet to the detention center.

After waiting for a while, Scarlet finally saw Joseph, who looked much more haggard and spiritless than before.

Upon seeing Joseph's condition, Scarlet couldn't help but tear up.

Joseph, noticing his mother outside, tried to muster some energy to comfort her. "Mom, I'm fine."

C Scarlet, unable to believe his words and seeing his lack of spirit, became furious and started cursing Angela, "How can you be fine? It's all Angela's fault. She caused you to be like this."

Joseph didn't argue.

Deep down, he almost agreed with Scarlet's accusations.

He believed his current plight was indeed caused by Angela.

If only Angela had kept her promise to treat Zacharias, and if she hadn't ignored Fanny's illness, he wouldn't have resorted to posting that paper. He never imagined that simply telling the truth on a piece of paper would get him accused of spreading rumors.

Angela's manipulations were indeed cunning!

As he thought about how Angela had wronged him, Joseph clenched his teeth, tasting a faint bitterness in his mouth, and his eyes filled with gloom.

To prevent worrying Scarlet, he quickly looked down.

Scarlet, mistaking his silence for sorrow and despair, felt a surge of pity. "James is outside. Joseph, don't worry. He will definitely find a way to help you! You'll be out soon!"

Scarlet knew that even without bail, Joseph would only be detained for about ten days, but they couldn't bear to see him suffer that long.

They were determined to get him released as soon as possible.

Joseph managed a rare smile. "I know."

He was aware of James' efforts; James had visited him the day before. Although they hadn't found a way to bail him out yet, he was informed of the situation.

Even though he told his family that a few days in detention didn't bother him, he didn't want

to stay any longer than necessary.

Nobody prefers confinement over freedom.

Shortly after their conversation began, James entered. Standing behind Scarlet, he looked at Joseph sitting across from her. His expression was calm, but Joseph could sense a hint of dejection in his approach, indicating that his elder James had yet to find a solution.

Joseph tried to put on a brave face, managing a faint smile. "James."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Scarlet, hearing James' name, realized he had arrived. She turned around eagerly and asked, "James, can we bail him out now?"

James shook his head.

Scarlet was stunned, her eyes widening as she pressed for an explanation. "Why? Why can't we bail him out?"

James expressed his helplessness, "They still won't disclose who is applying the pressure, so I came to ask Joseph."

He referred to the police when mentioning 'they'

"It might not be that they are unwilling to tell, but rather they truly don't know," James pondered, recalling the demeanor of the officers he had questioned, which seemed genuinely uninformed.

Scarlet stood still, lost in thought. James, concerned that she would continue to be upset, sighed and softly suggested, "Mom, let me take you outside to rest a bit. I'll talk with Joseph."

However, Scarlet shook her head. "I'm fine; I'll stay here. You guys talk."

She stepped aside to allow James to face Joseph directly.

Joseph, seeing Scarlet's distracted state, grew worried.

But before he could say anything to comfort her, Scarlet suddenly murmured, questioning, "You just believed Angela when she said she wasn't applying the pressure?"

Her voice, initially soft, suddenly sharpened, sounding almost accusatory.

After asking, she fixed her gaze intensely on James, as if wanting to catch every nuance of his reaction.

Facing Scarlet's pointed stare, James just slightly furrowed his brow. "It's probably not her."

Chapter 476 Cunning Tactics His tone remained neutral, his expression meticulous.

Scarlet, however, suddenly became agitated. "How can it not be her? I'm sure it's her! She wants to ruin our family!"

"Mom!" Joseph called out from behind her.

He couldn't see her face, but her body language alone betrayed her emotional turmoil and abnormal state.

Scarlet momentarily snapped out of it when Joseph called her, but her thoughts quickly returned to Angela, igniting another burst of vitriol.

She cursed vehemently, her face contorted with loathing and ferocity, with only Joseph and James as witnesses to her outburst.

Joseph tried several times to calm her, but she seemed not to hear him.

James also attempted to bring her back to reality, but she was like someone possessed, cursing and shaking until she eventually wrapped her arms around her head, covered her ears, and continued her tirade.

Scarlet felt an excruciating pain in her head, as if it was about to split open.

She clutched her head tightly, trying to suppress the throbbing, but it only intensified, giving rise to a loud and erratic noise inside her brain.

Desperately covering her ears, she realized it did nothing to alleviate the cacophony, the disorienting and nauseating sounds enveloping her, causing her limbs to tremble uncontrollably.

James noticed that Scarlet was overwhelmed by a stress that seemed to be concocted by her own e

mind seeing her about to collapse, he quickly supported her and administered a fast-acting heart-saving pill.

This wasn't the first time Scarlet had succumbed to such a state; James had been scared by her condition before and had since prepared medication specifically for her.

After taking the pill, Scarlet's condition improved slightly, though she continued to murmur indistinctly, most likely cursing Angela.

With the situation having escalated to this point, their resentment toward Angela was undeniable.

However, seeing Scarlet deteriorate physically because of her obsession with Angela was distressing for them.

"I'll handle this, Mom. You don't need to worry. Angela won't get away with it,"

James, concerned about triggering another outburst, ended up promising to deal with Angela. Supported by James, the pill eased some of the noise in Scarlet's ears. Hearing James' words, her weak hand clutched at his clothes. "Yes! Angela has kept Joseph locked up for so long, you must deal with her! Make her regret it, make her pay!"

Scarlet's voice was feeble yet filled with a deep and forceful malice toward Angela.
