Chapter 371
“S-She looks like the Fletcher family's daughter, Scarlett.”
What?
A commotion erupted at the scene.
The legitimate wife can't bear to watch how things will progress and decides to come to the battlefield to fight with the lover?
F*ck! Things are becoming more and more interesting.
The next second, Scarlett was encircled by numerous reporters.
Tamara felt things were getting out of hand, but with her identity, she couldn't rush to her daughter recklessly.
“The two of you, hurry up and get over there to drag Scarlett back here.”
The bodyguards standing beside Tamara nodded and weaved through the crowd toward the steps.
A reporter questioned, “Ms. Fletcher, is Ms. Revelle telling the truth? Your fiancé, Mr. Xuereb, has an illegitimate child outside
your relationship?”
Anger filled Scarlett, and her words were starting to lose sense. “That's right. That thing is an illegitimate child. He will only be an
illegitimate child in this lifetime. I will never let Justin bring him back to the Xuereb family to be registered in the family register.”
Another reporter asked, “Since Mr. Xuereb already has a child, do you still insist on marrying into the Xuereb family, Ms.
Fletcher?”
“Why wouldn't I?” Scarlett shot a death glare at Veronique, who stood atop the stage. “She's the homewrecker and the one who
destroyed my engagement with Justin. Thus the one who should step down is her and not me.”
Veronique felt her confidence surge as she gazed at the aggressive look on Scarlett's face.
This woman keeps repeating homewrecker, wife, or illegitimate child in every sentence. Enough is enough. I can't stand it any
longer.
“What right do you have to call me a homewrecker, Scarlett?”
Veronique's spirit caught Scarlett off guard briefly before Scarlett's temper spiked.
“Look at her, everyone. She actually dared to ask me what right I have to call her a homewrecker. Shouldn't I call her so,
though?”
“S-She looks like the Fletcher family's daughter, Scarlett.”
Um...
A cold smile tugged at Veronique's lips. Bay was right. One can only use extreme means to suppress unreasonable people.
She'll give in instantly if others are stronger than her.
“Since Ms. Fletcher keeps emphasizing the identity of homewrecker and wife, then allow me to debate.”
Veronique cast a glance at a staff on the side.
The large screen on the stage was turned on the next moment.
The staff toggled to Hallsbay's City Hall Marriage Registration System and input Justin's and Veronique's names in the search
engine.
Two marriage certificates popped up on the large screen in the next second.
“F*ck me! Justin and Veronique are legitimate husband and wife!”
“D*mn, this revelation is way too explosive. Ms. Fletcher has become the homewrecker.”
“Woah, this is some unexpected plot twist.”
“Great. The homewrecker has become the wife, and the wife has stooped to being a homewrecker.”
“This is hilarious!”
It was indeed funny.
None of them expected things would progress in that direction.
“I'm sure everyone has seen for themselves that Justin and I are a legitimate couple. Our child is legitimate as well, so please
consider the choice of words you use before accusing my child of being illegitimate.”
Scarlett's face turned red from rage. Her beautiful features contorted.
At that moment, the two bodyguards had finally reached her. One of them spoke into her ear. “Ms. Scarlett, Mrs. Fletcher has
asked us to escort you out of the venue.”
Scarlett didn't want to stay there any longer after humiliating herself.
Nevertheless, she couldn't leave at that point. Reporters had flocked to her and blocked her from leaving.
They flung a barrage of rude questions at her.
Everywhere Scarlett looked, she only saw mocking gazes. Anger rose within her at the humiliation. The impact raised her blood
pressure, causing her to faint.
Meanwhile, Bailey was watching the confident Veronique on the screen. Her lips curled into a faint smile at the sight.
Um...
A cold smile tugged ot Veronique's lips. Boy wos right. One con only use extreme meons to suppress unreosonoble people.
She'll give in instontly if others ore stronger thon her.
“Since Ms. Fletcher keeps emphosizing the identity of homewrecker ond wife, then ollow me to debote.”
Veronique cost o glonce ot o stoff on the side.
The lorge screen on the stoge wos turned on the next moment.
The stoff toggled to Hollsboy's City Holl Morrioge Registrotion System ond input Justin's ond Veronique's nomes in the seorch
engine.
Two morrioge certificotes popped up on the lorge screen in the next second.
“F*ck me! Justin ond Veronique ore legitimote husbond ond wife!”
“D*mn, this revelotion is woy too explosive. Ms. Fletcher hos become the homewrecker.”
“Wooh, this is some unexpected plot twist.”
“Greot. The homewrecker hos become the wife, ond the wife hos stooped to being o homewrecker.”
“This is hilorious!”
It wos indeed funny.
None of them expected things would progress in thot direction.
“I'm sure everyone hos seen for themselves thot Justin ond I ore o legitimote couple. Our child is legitimote os well, so pleose
consider the choice of words you use before occusing my child of being illegitimote.”
Scorlett's foce turned red from roge. Her beoutiful feotures contorted.
At thot moment, the two bodyguords hod finolly reoched her. One of them spoke into her eor. “Ms. Scorlett, Mrs. Fletcher hos
osked us to escort you out of the venue.”
Scorlett didn't wont to stoy there ony longer ofter humilioting herself.
Nevertheless, she couldn't leove ot thot point. Reporters hod flocked to her ond blocked her from leoving.
They flung o borroge of rude questions ot her.
Everywhere Scorlett looked, she only sow mocking gozes. Anger rose within her ot the humiliotion. The impoct roised her blood
pressure, cousing her to foint.
Meonwhile, Boiley wos wotching the confident Veronique on the screen. Her lips curled into o foint smile ot the sight.
Now, this is the Veronique I know. Scarlett doesn't even match up to her in a fight. In the end, being a mother makes a woman
stronger than before. If Zephyr hadn't forced her, she probably wouldn't have taken that step.
“It looks like dealing with the Fletcher family's wrath is next on the agenda. I wonder if the Revelle family and the Xuereb family
can handle it.”
She cast a glance at the man sitting beside her with his eyes shut. “I think I should ask Raiden out for a chat so that—”
Before she could finish, the man beside her suddenly loomed over her, caging her against the couch.
“Bringing up that fellow's name in front of me, huh? Are you treating me like I'm nothing?”
Bailey held in her laughter. “What else can I do? I can't just watch the Revelle family bear the brunt of the consequences from the
sidelines.”
Artemis started taking off her clothes. “Pleasure me, and I promise to help you if I'm satisfied.”
Finally, Bailey couldn't contain her laughter any longer and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Let's take this to the bedroom.”
Artemis didn't move as he studied her exquisite face. His long slender fingers lightly brushed across her eyebrow. “Have you
truly decided to give up on your family?”
Bailey tightened her arms around Artemis' neck and arched her brow. “I have a new family, namely the three kids and... your
family.”
A wide smile spread across Artemis' face as he lifted Bailey into his arms and carried her toward the bedroom.
In the study at the medical base, Olivia slammed down a stack of newspapers on her son's desk. “Who gave that b*tch from the
Revelle family the guts to say that b*stard of hers is a member of the Xuereb family?”
Coldness flitted across Justin's face at her crude remarks.
“They are your daughter-in-law and grandson. Please respect them.”
