Chapter 248

The answer was both expected yet unanticipated.

It was unanticipated because Scarlett couldn't accept it.

The wedding date was fast approaching. Once Veronique and her son's identity came to light, not only would the Xuereb family's reputation take a hit, but the Fletcher family also would be subject to gossip. That wasn't something her father and brother wanted to see.

After pondering for a long time while sitting by the bed, she unlocked her phone and texted her brother.

She typed: Make some time and come over to Hallsbay these few days. I've got something urgent to discuss with you.

Veronique can't be allowed to live, nor the illegitimate child she gave birth to. I'll never allow the Fletcher family to become the laughingstock of the entire political arena. Never!

At the laboratory, the doorbell rang.

Veronique walked out in casual clothes and opened the door.

As she locked eyes with the person at the door, she was stunned for a moment.

The instant she jolted back to her senses, she instinctively wanted to close the door.

Justin stretched out a leg and stuck it at the edge of the doorframe. In a hoarse voice, he uttered, “I've got something to clarify with you. Let's talk things out.”

Turning her face away, Veronique countered placidly, “There's nothing to talk about between us. We've made things clear at the Revelle residence that day. Henceforth, we shall go our separate ways, never meeting again. You should leave. Don't disrupt my life anymore.”

Justin hung his head. After standing there silently for a long while, he took out a photo from his pocket and held it out to her. His voice guttural, he murmured, “Indeed, there's nothing to talk about between us. But we can still talk about him.”

Veronique lowered her eyes reflexively. As soon as she made out the countenance on the photo, her face went deathly pale, and she started trembling uncontrollably.
