Chapter 371
“S-She looks like the Fletcher family''s daughter, Scarlett.”
What?
Amotion erupted at the scene.
The legitimate wife can''t bear to watch how things will progress and decides toe to the battlefield
to fight with the lover? F*ck! Things are bing 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 rtionship?”
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 re 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 nce at a staff on the side.
Therge 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 therge screen in the next second.
“F*ck me! Justin and Veronique are legitimate husband and wife!”
“D*mn, this revtion is way too explosive. Ms. Fletcher has be the homewrecker.”
“Woah, this is some unexpected plot twist.”
“Great. The homewrecker has be the wife, and the wife has stooped to being a homewrecker.”
“This is hrious!”
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 using 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 be the homewrecker.”
“Wooh, this is some unexpected plot twist.”
“Greot. The homewrecker hos be 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 using 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 nce 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 herughter. “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 herughter 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 mmed 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-inw and grandson. Please respect them.”
