Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel 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.
