Chapter 1088 Fight To The Death
Justin spoke with neither humility nor arrogance. His tone was steady and extremely persuasive.
The surrounding area once again filled with intermittent murmurs. Essentially, they were all suggesting
that Scarlett had started to feel guilty and didn''t dare toe forward for the paternity test.
Scarlett, on the other hand, believed that Justin said this on purpose, just to make her hesitate and
confirm the fact that the child she was carrying was not his.
If she didn''t clear this up on the spot, she could forget about getting off scot-free.
Justin had urately gauged her prideful nature, knowing she would never resort to amniocentesis.
But she, contrary to his wishes, insisted on making the trip.
She was certain the child in her womb was of the Xuereb family''s bloodline. She refused to believe that

Justin could bribe the people at the testing facility to falsify the results.
No matter what the Fletcher family did to her behind her back, on the surface, she was still the
legitimate daughter of the Fletcher family, Lady Scarlett of Chanaea. Who would dare to nder or
defame her within the country?
Thinking of this, she slowly curved her lips into a smile and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Well then,
since you''ve already said so much, if I don''t cooperate with you for a paternity test, it will be tough for
me to prove myself innocent. Everyone present here is from the media. I hope you all can bear witness
for me. If the paternity test shows that the child is of the Xuereb family, Justin must take full
responsibility for us, mother and child. I''m not greedy. I don''t ask for what I can''t have. I just wish he
could give us, mother and child, what we deserve."
The surrounding journalists exchanged nces, unable to make decisions for Justin.
Justin nced at Scarlett, his tone light and nonchnt. "There''s no need for them to bear witness. If
the child you''re carrying is indeed of the Xuereb family, I will take full responsibility."
Scarlett narrowed her eyes slightly.
He agreed so readily? Could there really be something hidden regarding the child I''m carrying?
No, that''s impossible. I''m carrying a living being inside me. There''s no faking that.
Moreover, images of my intimate moments with Justin are still vivid in my mind. That night, he indeed
touched me, and it was indeed that night when I conceived.
The child I''m carrying must certainly be of the Xuereb family''s lineage.
It must be.
The verdict wasn''t out yet, so anything was possible.
Hope and despair coexisted. She believed in her own good fortune, waiting for the arrival of hope.
As Justin watched Scarlett walk away with her back straight, a mocking, cold smile tugged at the corner
of his lips.
This time, no one can save her.
Including the Fletcher family.
If the Fletcher family dares toe for her today, I will expose to the world that the major car ident
By then, the Fletcher family''s daughter would not only be infamous, but she would also have to bear
the burden of awsuit, spending her entire life in prison.
Thanks to the professional team handling the verification, the results came out very quickly.
During this time, a flood of journalists from various news media made their way into the Xuereb
residence. They weren''t invited by Olivia but had rushed over after catching wind of the news.
Suddenly, the entire mansion became even more lively.
Many people outside were also eagerly awaiting, looking forward to the drama unfolding.
Upon hearing the news, Christopher rushed over. Seeing his son''s determined stance, as if ready to
fight to the end regardless of the consequences, he couldn''t help but feel worried.
"Justin, are you really going to do this?"
With a nk expression, Justin looked at his father and said calmly, "My woman and son are still
wandering in a foreignnd, their status unrecognized, their names unspoken. Do you really expect me
to stand by while a woman with the heart of a serpent continues to im Mrs. Xuereb''s title and watch
as my wife and child are kept in the dark?"
Christopher choked up, then sighed lightly. Shaking his head with a bitter smile, he said, "Forget it.
Anyway, we, the Xuereb family, are now in a situation where we''re not epted by anyone, inside or
out. Take advantage of the situation before it bes irreparable. Do more to remedy it. Go ahead
and do it. I''ll take care of the rest."
The conversation between the father and son was quite soft, and coupled with the surrounding noise,
no one could hear what they were discussing.
Of course, this did not include Olivia.
After hearing that, she gritted her teeth and said, "We can''t let that Fletcher family girl off easily. She''s
just a younger generation, yet she dared to p me. Such an ill-mannered and malicious woman is not
worthy to be my family''s daughter-inw. I cannot tolerate her for even a moment. If it weren''t for the
fact that she''s still pregnant, I would have kicked her out a long time ago. Why else would I have put up
with this until now? Now you''re saying the child she''s carrying isn''t from the Xuereb family, that''s even
better. Whenever we tell her to leave, she must leave."
With a sidelong nce, Justin looked at the olddy. His expression was cold and clear, devoid of any
emotional fluctuation.
Have you finallye to your senses now?
Unfortunately, it''s toote.
Veronique and our son havepletely lost hope in her. She shouldn''t expect them to treat her
sincerely.
Olivia noticed her son''s indifference and estrangement, which made her heart ache.
Just as the atmosphere among the family of three was bing increasingly strange, there was some
activity from the direction of the infirmary.
"It''s out! It''s out!"
"Enough chit-chat, everyone. Let''s get down to business."
All cameras were focused on the infirmary.
The first ones toe out were a few staff members.
When Scarlett reached the end of the corridor, she bumped into the executive of the paternity test
center, who wasing down from the second floor.
She said with a smile, "Dr. Yaleman, right? You must always uphold the principles of fairness and
justice. Never ept bribes, or you''ll find yourself in trouble."
Who was this senior executive of the organization? A seasoned veteran who had been through the
wringer in the political arena for years, battle-hardened. How could he not understand the threat in
Scarlett''s tone?
She was doing this because she feared that he might be influenced by the Xuereb family, and she
came specifically to warn him.
"Rest assured, Ms. Fletcher. I will handle this impartially. If you maintain your integrity, who would dare
to defame you? Unless..."
Unless you''re already tainted, and there''s no need for others to nder you, because you''ll be stuck in
the same mess anyway.
He didn''t voice the rest of his thoughts, but Scarlett was intelligent, so how could she not understand
what he meant?
"As long as you don''t mess up here, I won''t fail."
After saying this, she confidently walked out of the infirmary.
Seeing her leave with Callum Yaleman one after another, the reporters outside began frantically taking
pictures.
"Ms. Fletcher, did you leave with Dr. Yaleman because you''ve already bribed him to alter the report?"
"Dr. Yaleman, are you under pressure from the Fletcher family, covering up the truth and trying to
deceive us with fake reports?"
"If you''re colluding, then what''s the point of this report?"
Callum had experienced many challenges and witnessed significant events. How could he be swayed
by these baseless usations and lose hisposure?
He reached out to take the sealed folder from his assistant, speaking as he broke the seal. "No matter
how much I exin now, I can''t escape the suspicion of being bribed. But you should trust Justin. The
fact that he invited me over shows that he trusts my character."
As his final words echoed, he also tore open the sealed bag.
After retrieving the test report, he quickly skimmed through it.
When he reached thest column, his brows furrowed.
Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on him. With the expression he wore, everyone''s heart was in their
throats.
"What''s going on? Well, hurry up and reveal the results."
