Chapter 1050 Disobedience And Disrespect
In the infirmary of the Xuereb residence, pale-faced Olivia leaned against the head of the bed, looking
heartbrokenly at her son standing at the foot of the bed. “All of this was orchestrated by you, Justin.
You''re pushing me toward death.”
Justin looked at her coldly, his voice indifferent. “If I hadn''t done this, it would be Veronique who''s now
the talk of the town. While setting up this situation, I still had a glimmer of hope, wishing that Bailey''s
judgment was wrong. I was hoping that you wouldn''t set me up with Veronique, pushing us into the eye
of the storm, making us targets for all. But it turns out I''ve overestimated you. I simply don''t understand.
Why do you dislike her so much? Why are you treating her this way? After all, she gave birth to a son
for the Xuereb family. You forced me to marry Scarlett, and I let that slide. Yet, you repeatedly harmed
her and her mother. Are you that evil?”
Pointing at him, Olivia could hardly contain her anger when she fumed, “If it weren''t for your secret
scheming that provoked the Fletcher family, would they be pressuring us like this? So now, the Fletcher
family has refused to rescue your uncle, and he''s about to face the full force of thew. Is this the
oue you wanted to see?”
Justin began tough softly, hisughter tinged with a touch of mncholy. “Even now, you remain
deluded. Do you truly believe that the Fletcher family will save the Campbell family? Your brother has
you think they would step in to save him? Even now, you still naively believe that Veronique and I
ruined everything. It seems you''ve wasted most of your life on such foolishness.”
“Y-You...” Olivia pointed at her son, her anger reaching its peak, her whole body trembling violently.
“Justin, my brother is your uncle. You''re supposed to respect him! Yet, you want to sit back and watch
him die! That''s nothing short of disobedience and disrespect,” Olivia thundered.
Justin shook his head. Thest shred of hope he held for his mother hadpletely vanished. She''s
selfish, domineering, and overbearing. Her thoughts are always about her maiden home,pletely
disregarding the feelings of her husband and son. Indeed, she had given me the gift of life, and for this
profound gratitude, I agreed to marry Scarlett. Even though I wasn''tmitted to the marriage, I still
dutifully yed along until the end of this charade. In the end, Scarlett went back on her word and
burned bridges. Astonishingly, Mom shifted all the me onto me. Ha! How ridiculous!
“Things havee to this point, so I won''t say more. You handle it as you see fit. You wanted me to
marry Scarlett, so you should deal with the mess,” Justin said.
With that, Justin turned around, ready to leave.
Veronique was flying off in an hour, so he needed to rush to the private airport to see her off.
If she were to agree to it, he might apany her, traveling abroad together, leaving behind all those
messy trivialities for good.
“Stop right there,” roared Olivia. “If you still cherish our mother-son bond, do not defy me. Do as I say. If
you step through this door, I am no longer your mother from today onward. We will have no further ties.
I''m curious to see, with thebel of disobedience and disrespect on your back, how you''ll manage to
stand your ground in this world in the future.”
With a coldugh, Justin slowly halted his steps.
He was afraid of her words. Instead, he was curious to see what tricks she was nning to y next.
At that point, he wanted nothing more than to give up on his mother entirely.
“Go ahead. What do you want me to do?” he asked.
Olivia thought he was being cowardly, and she couldn''t help but snort disdainfully. Every sessful
person fears damage to their reputation, especially beingbeled as rebellious and undutiful. Justin is a
renowned doctor who has long been celebrated worldwide. It''s only natural that he''s feeling scared
now.
“It''s simple. I want you to reveal, ording to the Fletcher family''s wishes, that Veronique is still alive.
And admit that her feigned death was just a ploy to ensnare and entangle you,” she said.
“Ha!” Justin couldn''t helpughing.
Through her gritted teeth, Olivia asked, “What''s so funny?”
Justin looked at her with a hint of pity, shaking his head and sighing. “Iugh at your stubbornness. I
“Y-You...”
Justin didn''t want to hear her speak another word. He turned around and strode toward the door,
saying as he walked, “Originally, I wanted to deal with Scarlett as soon as possible. But it seems best
to put things on hold for a while now. Enjoy the devotion of your daughter-inw. After all, she''s the one
you''re fond of. I imagine you must find it veryforting when you''re being attended to. I won''t deprive
you of the joy of such blissful moments.”
When he spoke of blissful moments, he deliberately emphasized his tone. If Scarlett can''t have me and
her reputation is ruined, staying with the Xuereb family will only worsen things. What kind of blissful
moments can the Mom possibly expect in the future?
Justin felt that if his mother didn''t experience some hardship and straighten herself out, she would go
After all, she was his mother. If there was a chance to save her, he would still take it.
Stepping out of the infirmary, Justin saw his father standing at the door. Justin raised an eyebrow and
said, “Dad, perhaps you shouldn''t go in. I''ve just upset Mom. If you go in now, you''ll definitely be
the punching bag, which could harm the rtionship between husband and wife. You''re a wise man,
Dad. I know you can see things clearly. You know as well as I do that Mom needs to learn her lessons
the hard way. So, let''s just let things take their natural course. Once she faces some hardships with

Scarlett, she''ll probably realize what''s truly worth cherishing.”
With a helpless sigh, Christopher said with a bitter smile, “She''s just too stubborn, insisting that she can
protect the Campbell family. But in the end, she''s only alienated everyone. Don''t be too disheartened,
and certainly don''t resent her. After all, she is your mother, the one who gave birth to you and raised
you. If one day shees to her senses, remember toe home.”
Justin nodded, smiling as he said, “Don''t worry, Dad. I might be going abroad with Veronique, and I''m
not sure when we''ll be back. Please take good care of yourself.”
Christopher furrowed his brows, expressing some disagreement by saying, “What about Scarlett? After
all, she is your wife, and she''s carrying your child in her belly. Isn''t it inappropriate for you to leave her
alone in Hallsbay? Don''t forget that she still has the Fletcher family as her backing.”
Wife? Child? With a cold smile, Justin leaned in and whispered a few words into his father''s ear.
After hearing those words, Christopher''s expression changed dramatically. In disbelief, he looked at his
son and said, “Your marriage certificate... The baby in her belly...”
“Dad, keep it to yourself. I''m in a rush, so I''ll be leaving first,” Justin said.
Christopher watched his retreating figure, stumbling back a few steps. What a twisted fate! It''s actually
causing unrest among the major families. Gosh!
Meanwhile, inside a room in the Shurmer residence, Bailey leaned into Artemis'' arms, looked at
Veronique''s message, and couldn''t help but smile. “That little rascal Zephyr, after hanging around
Zayron for so long, haspletely picked up his bad habits! In the part where he made his usations
in front of the journalists, I was pping and cheering. Scarlett really got a taste of her own medicine.
So what if she''s currently the Xuereb family''s daughter-inw? In the days toe, she''s likely to be
locked in a fierce battle with Mrs. Xuereb. In the end, she will realize that she has gained nothing. Her
marriage and her child will all seem like a ridiculous dream.”
At that point, she suddenly gripped her phone tightly, gritting her teeth as she added, “Find a way to
keep Justin in Hallsbay. He created the mess, so he must be the one to resolve it.”
