Chapter 859

Joie grabbed the documents with a resolve to leave, turning on her heel just as a clamor

broke out.

A squad of police officers burst into the airport terminal, causing passengers to scatter in all directions,

their faces etched with alarm.

Sensing something amiss, Joie quickened her pace towards the security checkpoint.

The noise escalated, and just as she was about to pass through the checkpoint, the officers made a

beeline for her, blocking her path.

“Miss Joie, you’re currently on parole and can’t leave Imperial City. Please come with us.” The lead

officer was polite but firm, his stance unyielding.

Nathan furrowed his brows; he had made arrangements for Joie to leave without issue-how could this

be happening?

“Officer, there must be some misunderstanding.”

“Nathan.”

The officer recognized Nathan. “We’ve already been in touch with Mr. Salter. Please don’t make this

harder.’

Nathan realized something was amiss.

Having everything greased and in motion, the sudden appearance of the police suggested



a hitch. He couldn’t afford to alienate them and had to concede.

As Joie was escorted away, Nathan disregarded the curious stares of the other travelers and strode out

of the terminal.

Outside, a black sedan was parked in the square.

It was Isaac.

Nathan approached swiftly, “Mr. Salter, what’s going on?”

“Top brass issued a strict order; she’s not going anywhere for now.”

Isaac was just as confused about the sudden shift in orders. His usually reliable contacts at the top had

only mentioned that it was a decision from higher up.

If Isaac couldn’t change it, who in Imperial City could?

Nathan got into the car and drove straight for the office.

At the office, Isaac received a call from the police. After some persuasion, he learned that there had

been a shakeup at the precinct, which meant all the connections he had carefully cultivated over the

years were now replaced.

No wonder Joie’s departure had been sabotaged at the last minute.

“Alright, thanks.”



Joie’s failure to leave, witnessed by some of her fans at the airport, was quickly plastered all over the

internet.

The fact that she, a supposed inmate, was spotted trying to escape Imperial City, spread like wildfire,

causing public outrage.

The uproar intensified, with calls for a thorough investigation into Joie’s actions, demanding a

satisfactory explanation for the public.

The scandal resurfaced, and in no time, Joie’s Twitter was besieged by online mobs.

. Frustrated at being stuck in Imperial City and battered by the fresh wave of criticism, Joie

was seething with rage, especially since she couldn’t fight back.

Her social media accounts were suspended.

With no one to turn to, she became a target for public vitriol.

The onslaught of insults felt like a tidal wave crashing over her, and in that moment, Joie loathed

Nathan for his incompetence.

If not for him, she would’ve been out of Imperial City by now, and not at the mercy of public humiliation.

Isaac had assigned bodyguards under the guise of protection, but they were effectively her wardens.

Joie was under constant watch, her dreams of leaving, let alone traveling abroad, dashed. She was

confined for a week.

During that week, Joie was lambasted so severely that even her most die-hard fans began to waver.

Then, even more explosive news broke, causing a city-wide sensation.



Driven nearly to the point of depression by her confinement, Joie was relieved when someone finally

came to visit.

She had expected Isaac.

Feigning weakness, she murmured, “Bro Isaac… why is it you?”

Her voice, which had started soft and weak, turned sharp upon seeing who had actually

come.

“Brittany, how dare you show up? Did you sabotage my escape from Imperial City?”

Brittany had been wanting to visit Joie for a while but hadn’t found the time.

Joie, in a fit of rage, lashed out. “Brittany, get out! Just get out!”
