Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1088

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 to come 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 accurately 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 slander 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 glances, unable to make decisions for Justin.

Justin glanced at Scarlett, his tone light and nonchalant. "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 to come for her today, I will expose to the world that the major car accident last year was orchestrated by Scarlett.

By then, the Fletcher family's daughter would not only be infamous, but she would also have to bear the burden of a lawsuit, 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 blank expression, Justin looked at his father and said calmly, "My woman and son are still wandering in a foreign land, 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 claim 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 accepted by anyone, inside or out. Take advantage of the situation before it becomes irreparable. Do more to remedy it. Go ahead and do it. I'll take care of the rest."
