Chapter 864 Reap What You Sow

Scarlett was so frightened that she trembled uncontrollably, huddling into the couch and too afraid to utter a single word.

As she caught the older woman's gaze, it felt as though she was being eyed hungrily, and at that moment, Scarlett realized her peaceful days were a thing of the past.

“Tell me, has your father passed away? Is the Fletcher family ready to hand over their power? Are you unable to reverse the downfall of the Campbell family?”

Scarlett bit her lip harshly. When she encountered Olivia's murderous gaze, she swiftly slid off the couch.

She kneeled on the ground, clutching at Olivia's legs. Looking up at her, she sobbed out, “Mrs. Xuereb, someone poisoned my father... I really intended to help Silas previously, b-but my father suddenly passed away. You can't blame me for that.”

Olivia shoved her away.

In recent times, she had been diligently looking after this wealthy young lady, all the while concealing a deep well of frustration.

Now that the Fletcher family has fallen, there was no need for her to be submissive anymore. She didn't need to treat Scarlett as if she was the most precious thing in the world.

With that thought, she abruptly pushed her away, gritting her teeth as she questioned, “Did he truly pass away unexpectedly? You keep coming up with excuses. The information I received clearly indicated that your father has been unconscious for nearly a month. How cunning of you! Receiving my care and attention while keeping your father's condition hidden from me. Treating me like a fool. Scarlett, I've lived for over fifty years, and this is the first time I've been deceived by someone younger than myself. Since you're no longer beneficial to me, you might as well leave.”

Upon hearing these words, Scarlett instantly panicked. Once again, she lunged forward, clinging onto Olivia's legs.

“Mrs. Xuereb, you cannot banish me from the Xuereb family. You simply can't. I am still carrying Justin's child in my womb. This child bears the Xuereb family's blood in their veins. No matter how unpardonable my mistakes might be, the child is innocent. If news spreads about how the Xuereb family mistreats a pregnant woman, how will you uphold your reputation in high society?”

“Are you threatening me?” Unable to contain her anger, Olivia slapped Scarlett.


“Before today, I might have taken you seriously, out of fear for your family's power. But now that your father is dead, the Fletcher family is on the brink of ruin. What right do you have to act so arrogantly in front of me?”

Having said that, she shrugged Scarlett off again and turned to walk toward the door.

“You will obediently stay in this room until the child is born. As for your marriage with Sean, let's call it off. I will find another well-matched lady of high society for him.”

“No!”

Scarlett struggled to get up and stop her, but a sharp pain surged from her lower abdomen, forcing her to sit back down.

Why is it like this? Why?

The happiness that was once within easy reach had somehow just slipped away.

She couldn't accept it.

She simply could not.

The sudden turn of events was too shocking, and a surge of pain churned within her belly. Her eyes rolled back abruptly, and she passed out.

In the study at the Fletcher residence at Dellmoor, Raiden lowered his head to glance at his watch. His brows furrowed as he said, “It's almost midnight, and Eunice still hasn't shown up. Could it be that she's noticed something amiss and grew cautious? Has she, therefore, decided not to keep the appointment?”

With a cold laugh, Bailey said, “This woman is even smarter than I imagined. In fact, if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't have accepted the invitation either.”

After all, with Mr. Fletcher's death, anyone who had contact with him couldn't hope to escape suspicion.

In other words, even if she doesn't come forward to accuse Catherine, she would still be under great suspicion. After all, she had also had contact with Sloan.

“If that's the case, why should she show up again? If the plan fails, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?”

Catherine added, “She indeed is a woman of profound cunning. We've been engaged in a battle of wits for years, and yet, there's still no clear victor. It's only logical that she didn't show up this time because she must have known that her presence alone wouldn't be sufficient to bring me down. If she were to appear, it would only risk exposing herself. With her cunning nature, she wouldn't undertake such a demanding and unrewarding task.”

Bailey slowly rose from the couch, raising an eyebrow. “In that case, let's not sit here foolishly hoping for results. Raiden, will you accompany me to meet with the Gibson mother-and-daughter duo? There are some scores to be settled.”

Raiden stood up and took the lead to head toward the door.

The two of them exited the room, and Raiden couldn't resist asking, “You are Josiah's disciple, and they are Josiah's wife and daughter. Out of loyalty to your mentor, both emotionally and logically, you should let them off the hook. However, I still feel compelled to advise you that sparing the villains and allowing them to return to their base will only spell endless troubles.”

Bailey raised an eyebrow but did not respond.
