Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 1050

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 the law. Is this the

outcome you wanted to see?”

Justin began to laugh softly, his laughter tinged with a touch of melancholy. “Even now, you remain

deluded. Do you truly believe that the Fletcher family will save the Campbell family? Your brother has

committed a serious crime. If the Fletcher family gets involved, they'll be inviting trouble. What makes

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. The last shred of hope he held for his mother had completely vanished. She's

selfish, domineering, and overbearing. Her thoughts are always about her maiden home, completely

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't committed to the marriage, I still

dutifully played along until the end of this charade. In the end, Scarlett went back on her word and

burned bridges. Astonishingly, Mom shifted all the blame onto me. Ha! How ridiculous!

“Things have come 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 accompany 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 the label of disobedience and disrespect on your back, how you'll manage to

stand your ground in this world in the future.”

With a cold laugh, Justin slowly halted his steps.

He was afraid of her words. Instead, he was curious to see what tricks she was planning to play 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 successful

person fears damage to their reputation, especially being labeled 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, according 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 help laughing.

Through her gritted teeth, Olivia asked, “What's so funny?”

Justin looked at her with a hint of pity, shaking his head and sighing. “I laugh at your stubbornness. I

laugh at your extreme foolishness.”

“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-in-law. After all, she's the one

you're fond of. I imagine you must find it very comforting 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

completely off track.

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 become

the punching bag, which could harm the relationship 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 she comes to her senses, remember to come 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.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

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, has completely picked up his bad habits! In the part where he made his accusations

in front of the journalists, I was clapping and cheering. Scarlett really got a taste of her own medicine.

So what if she's currently the Xuereb family's daughter-in-law? In the days to come, 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.”
