Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349

When this news came out, it shocked the entire globe, not for anything else, but for the fact that the eldest daughter of the Revelle family married into the Adrune core royal family and was thus a princess.

Six years ago, rumors were flying around that the Revelle family's eldest daughter had given birth to a son for the royal family, but she gave the child to her sister to raise in the end.

This decision generated a lot of public debate on a global scale at the time.

Everyone speculated as to whether the infant was the illegitimate child of Yvonne's husband, and because she did not wish to keep him close by to usurp her son's position, she lied that the child was hers before placing him in the care of her younger sister to keep him out of the royal power center.

To their surprise, the plot took a dramatic turn.

The so-called nephew that the Revelle family's second daughter had been raising for several years turned out to be her own offspring.

Hence, everyone grew curious and began speculating who the biological father of her son was.

In just half a day, a reporter found out about Veronique's crush on Justin back then and spread the information online, causing the netizens to go crazy.

This Justin is none other than the son-in-law-to-be of Jadeborough's Fletcher family, and the wedding date has already been set. If he did have an illegitimate child with Ms. Veronique six years ago, wouldn't that be a great insult to the Fletcher family? If the noblest daughter of the most prestigious family in politics was betrayed by her fiancé before their wedding—even having an illegitimate child—wouldn't she become the laughingstock of the entire upper-class society?

Meanwhile, in the living room at the Revelle residence, Bill was sitting on the couch, looking at the middle-aged woman across from him with a complicated expression.

“I didn't expect you to visit me, Mrs. Fletcher. Please excuse me for the lack of hospitality.”

“Please don't say that, Mr. Revelle,” Tamara said with a smile. “I came here for a reason. I've encountered some difficult matters and would like you to clear things up, Mr. Revelle.”

Bill's expression stiffened as he narrowed his eyes at her with an undecipherable look.

He had already anticipated what she was going to say.

After all, he was aware of the rumors flying around outside. What else besides her daughter's matter could've prompted Justin's future mother-in-law to pay a visit at this time?

“I'm a straightforward individual who enjoys being honest. Speak your mind, Mrs. Fletcher. There's no need to be polite to me.”

Tamara smiled and nodded. “Very well. I'll get straight to the point. Justin is engaged to my daughter, but now there are rumors that your young grandson is Justin's illegitimate son. How do you plan to deal with this matter, Mr. Revelle?”

Bill furrowed his brows.

Although she appeared to be inquiring, she was, in actuality, pressing him to state the outcome she wanted to hear.

“If the rumors are true, I wonder if you'll get Ms. Fletcher to break off her engagement with Justin, Mrs. Fletcher?”

“That's impossible.” Tamara said frankly, “Justin is the Fletcher family's chosen son-in-law, and this will never change. However, we will never allow him to bring a bastard into our house.”

Never would Bill have expected that the elderly woman would be so adamant as to permit her daughter to wed someone she already knew had a son.

Can I go ahead and say that my young grandson is Justin's child in such a situation? No, I can't!

He did not want his daughter and grandson to become the target of others' attacks.

“Rumors are just rumors. They can't be taken seriously. Mrs. Fletcher, please rest assured that I'll have my youngest daughter return to Hallsbay as soon as possible and hold a press conference to clarify this matter afterward. I won't create any trouble to your daughter and son-in-law's marriage.”

“Good.” Tamara smiled with satisfaction. “My son-in-law is a virtuous man and has never had any interaction with other women, let alone raised an illegitimate child outside.”

Bill's expression stiffened os he norrowed his eyes ot her with on undecipheroble look.
