Chapter 305


    Surprised by what Juliana had said, Bailey stared at her in confusion.


    “Julie, do you have any idea who you''re talking to?”


    Juliana burst outughing upon hearing that, but herughter soon turned to sobs as she yelled, “Who


    do you think you are, huh? You act like you''re concerned about my well-being, but you''re secretly


    stabbing me in the back! You''re unworthy of being my mentor!”


    Bailey scrambled to her feet and said in an icy-cold voice, “Looks like you really are drunk. I''ll help you


    get sobered up, and then we''ll talk about this.”


    “I told you, I''m not drunk! Were you the one who forced Zeke to have his fiancéee to Hallsbay?”


    Juliana screamed at the top of her lungs.


    When Bailey didn''t say anything in response, Juliana got even more agitated.


    “Well? Say something! Were you the one who forced Zeke to have his fiancéee to Hallsbay?” she


    shrieked furiously.


    Bailey looked to the side and replied with a sigh, “Yes, it was me who asked Mr. Shurmer to have his


    fiancéee to Hallsbay. I know you two could never be together, so I—”


    Juliana cut her off, “That''s enough from you! I thought Zoey was making it all up to drive a wedge


    between us, but her words turned out to be true all along. I can''t believe you''d do such a thing! Why


    can''t Zeke and I get together? Is it because I''m from the Hoffman family? You''re just afraid of the


    potential trouble I''d get you into by marrying a foreigner!”


    Bailey stared at her in confusion and disbelief.


    What the heck has gotten into her today? I don''t remember my disciple being so mean and


    unreasonable! Where did I go wrong?


    “You''re really drunk, Julie. You don''t even know what you''re saying anymore. Once again, I''ll pretend it


    was the alcohol talking. Come on. Let''s go home.”


    Juliana shoved her off again. “Who are you to tell me what to do? If you''re that afraid of getting dragged


    into my problems, then let''s cut ties right here and now!”


    Bailey''s eyes went wide with shock when she heard that. “J-Julie, do you even realize what you''re


    saying?”


    “I said, we''ll cut ties starting today! From now on, you no longer have to concern yourself with my


    problems!” Juliana practically spat those words out.


    After that, she turned around and stumbled her way out of the private room.


    Bailey wanted to go after her, but she had twisted her ankle when she fell earlier. An intense pain shot


    up from her ankle the moment she took a step forward, causing her to slump against the couch.


    Suddenly, Artemis came running into the private room.


    Upon noticing the look of anguish on her face, he quickly stepped forward to pick her up. “Come on. I''ll


    get you to Justin''s clinic. We need to get your injury treated.”


    Bailey pushed him aside and said, “Don''t worry about me. Julie is somewhere out there,pletely


    drunk. I''m worried about her safety. Go bring her back!”


    “Don''t worry; Ken is already on it.”


    Meanwhile, in Shelbert Condominium, Zephyr was watching Zayron type away on theputer.


    After about half an hour, Zephyr lost his patience and asked, “Hey, Zayron! Are you sure this is going to


    work?”


    Zayron shot him an annoyed re. “Of course! What do you think I''ve been doing this whole time?


    First, I hacked into the Security Agency''s system and copied your parents'' fingerprints into the


    database. Then, I hacked into City Hall''s official website, copied its official seal onto their files, and


    uploaded their files into City Hall''s database. What do you think is going to happen next?”


    “When Justin and Scarlett go to get their marriage registered, they''ll realize that Justin is already


    married,” Zephyr replied after giving it some thought.


    Zayron snapped his fingers. “Exactly. With their fingerprints and the official seal on their files, this


    marriage is now considered legal. Just go ahead and get treated overseas. I can guarantee that your

    father isn''t going anywhere.”


    Zephyr shot him a nce before shifting his gaze toward the household registry, which they didn''t even


    use. “Say, what was the point of us going through all that trouble to steal this?”


    Um...


    Zayron scratched his head and let out a sigh. “I was initially nning on having Ratemis pull some


    strings and get the staff at City Hall to register their marriage. Then, I figured the guys at City Hall


    wouldn''t dare do so because the Fletcher family has chosen him as a son-inw. Eventually, I decided


    to just hack the Security Agency and City Hall systems and do it online.”


    Later that night, Bailey and Veronique were hugging each other as they said goodbye at a private


    airport.


    “Just focus on producing the test tube baby, Vero. I''ll leave Hallsbay in about ten days. I''ll go see you


    when I get there.”


    Veronique stared at her in surprise and confusion. “You''re leaving too, Bay? I thought you and Artemis


    were—”


    Getting along pretty well?


    Bailey cut her off before she could finish, “He''s the uncle of Zayron and Susan, Vero. He can date


    anyone he likes, just so long as it isn''t me. That is simply taboo for us. We would be ostracized and


    suffer everyone''s contempt if we got together. Separation might just be the best way to end it.”


    Veronique gave her a pat on the back and said with a smile, “Don''t worry. We''ll be able to start over


    after we leave Hallsbay. I''ll be waiting for you in Archulea.”


    “Okay.”


    The two of them continued chatting for a bit longer until they saw Zayron and Zephyr approaching.


    Bailey gave Zephyr a pat on the head. “Make sure to listen to Aunt Veronique''s instructions and give


    the treatment your full cooperation, okay? Now that we have found a suitable bone marrow, we need


    the donor to make time for the surgery. All you have to do is be patient and wait for that time toe.”


    Zephyr nodded obediently in response. “Okay, I''ll do as you say.”


    After watching the two board the ne, Bailey turned toward Zayron and said, “Hide both their trails so


    Justin can''t find them. He will have to take care of his marriage with Scarlett if he wishes to see them


    ever again.”


    “Got it.”


    The next morning, Justin found out that Veronique and Zephyr had left Hallsbay, but he didn''t know


    where they were headed.


    Bailey wasn''t all that surprised when she opened the door to Shelbert Condominium and saw Justin


    inside.


    “Looks like you already know about Vero and her son leaving Hallsbay, huh?”


    “Where did they go?” Justin asked coldly.


    Bailey chuckled and said, “So what if I tell you? Are you going to marry Vero? Have you forgotten that


    you''re the Fletcher family''s chosen son-inw?”


    Justin let out a helpless sigh and ruffled his hair in frustration. “Scarlett has already promised to donate


    her bone marrow, so why would she leave with the boy now?”


    What? Scarlett has promised to donate her bone marrow? Just how na?ve can this guy get? Does he


    not realize that the mere existence of Veronique and her son is enough to drive Scarlett crazy? No


    woman could possibly put up with her beloved man raising an illegitimate child, especially the proud


    daughter of the Fletcher family! I could tell him about Scarlett''s assassination attempt, but I won''t


    because of the promise I made with Raiden.


    “She probably wants to put Scarlett''s heart at ease. After all, Scarlett won''t be willing to donate her


    bone marrow unless she feels safe and secure. You should marry her as soon as possible, Justin.


    Don''t go looking for Vero.”
