“S-She looks like the Fletcher family's daughter, Scarlett.”
What?
A commotion erupted at the scene.
The legitimate wife can't bear to watch how things will progress and decides to come to the battlefield to fight with the lover? F*ck! Things are becoming more and more interesting.
The next second, Scarlett was encircled by numerous reporters.
Tamara felt things were getting out of hand, but with her identity, she couldn't rush to her daughter recklessly.
“The two of you, hurry up and get over there to drag Scarlett back here.”
The bodyguards standing beside Tamara nodded and weaved through the crowd toward the steps.
A reporter questioned, “Ms. Fletcher, is Ms. Revelle telling the truth? Your fiancé, Mr. Xuereb, has an illegitimate child outside your relationship?”
Anger filled Scarlett, and her words were starting to lose sense. “That's right. That thing is an illegitimate child. He will only be an illegitimate child in this lifetime. I will never let Justin bring him back to the Xuereb family to be registered in the family register.”
Another reporter asked, “Since Mr. Xuereb already has a child, do you still insist on marrying into the Xuereb family, Ms. Fletcher?”
“Why wouldn't I?” Scarlett shot a death glare at Veronique, who stood atop the stage. “She's the homewrecker and the one who destroyed my engagement with Justin. Thus the one who should step down is her and not me.”
Veronique felt her confidence surge as she gazed at the aggressive look on Scarlett's face.
This woman keeps repeating homewrecker, wife, or illegitimate child in every sentence. Enough is enough. I can't stand it any longer.
“What right do you have to call me a homewrecker, Scarlett?”
Veronique's spirit caught Scarlett off guard briefly before Scarlett's temper spiked.
“Look at her, everyone. She actually dared to ask me what right I have to call her a homewrecker. Shouldn't I call her so, though?”
“S-She looks like the Fletcher family's daughter, Scarlett.”
Um...
A cold smile tugged at Veronique's lips. Bay was right. One can only use extreme means to suppress unreasonable people. She'll give in instantly if others are stronger than her.
“Since Ms. Fletcher keeps emphasizing the identity of homewrecker and wife, then allow me to debate.”
Veronique cast a glance at a staff on the side.
The large screen on the stage was turned on the next moment.
The staff toggled to Hallsbay's City Hall Marriage Registration System and input Justin's and Veronique's names in the search engine.
Two marriage certificates popped up on the large screen in the next second.
“F*ck me! Justin and Veronique are legitimate husband and wife!”
“D*mn, this revelation is way too explosive. Ms. Fletcher has become the homewrecker.”
“Woah, this is some unexpected plot twist.”
“Great. The homewrecker has become the wife, and the wife has stooped to being a homewrecker.”
“This is hilarious!”
It was indeed funny.
None of them expected things would progress in that direction.
“I'm sure everyone has seen for themselves that Justin and I are a legitimate couple. Our child is legitimate as well, so please consider the choice of words you use before accusing my child of being illegitimate.”
Scarlett's face turned red from rage. Her beautiful features contorted.
At that moment, the two bodyguards had finally reached her. One of them spoke into her ear. “Ms. Scarlett, Mrs. Fletcher has asked us to escort you out of the venue.”
Scarlett didn't want to stay there any longer after humiliating herself.
Nevertheless, she couldn't leave at that point. Reporters had flocked to her and blocked her from leaving.
They flung a barrage of rude questions at her.
