Chapter 208
She drugged Justin and tried to seduce him? There's no way my daughter would ever do something
that shameless! As her father, I know her very well. She hasn't contacted Justin for seven long years
after giving birth to this boy. Therefore, there can only be one reason why she'd suddenly try to have
sex with him.
“Alfred, get Zephyr to the infirmary and have Dr. Isaacs perform a CT scan on his back. Check for any
internal injuries.”
“Yes, sir.”
However, Zephyr refused to leave Veronique's embrace.
Veronique's face was pale when she gave him a kiss on the forehead and flashed him a faint smile.
“They're gone now, so your granddad won't hit me anymore. Go to the infirmary with Alfred, okay? I'll
go see you in a bit.”
Zephyr pursed his lips with a stubborn look on his face. After a brief moment of silence, he mustered
his strength and tried to stand up.
Alfred quickly summoned two housekeepers and had them carry him out of the living room.
Bill dismissed the remaining housekeepers in the living room before kneeling in front of his daughter
with a sympathetic look in his eyes.
“I'm sorry for embarrassing you, Dad. I did this because I couldn't let go of Justin, and my mistake
nearly put both our families in danger. Mrs. Xuereb was right to have you punish me. I brought this
upon myself,” Veronique sobbed out as she made eye contact with him.

“Veronique...” Bill raised his voice as he continued, “Why are you still defending that b*stard after
everything that has happened? Do you really think I'm that stupid? I may be old, but I'm not senile! I
can clearly see what's going on here!”
Veronique tensed up when she heard that. She slowly clenched her fists as she said in a trembling
voice, “I-I don't know what you're talking about! I seduced Justin because I couldn't control myself. This
has nothing to do with him whatsoever, so please stop jumping to conclusions!”
“Is that so? And what conclusions do you think I've jumped to, huh?”
Unsure of what to say, Veronique decided to avoid having that conversation. “I'll go take a look at
Zephyr. You may have held back on that last stroke of the whip, but he's still wounded pretty badly. I'm
really worried about him.”
Angered by her response, Bill grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back to the floor.
“You drugged Justin and tried to have sex with him because you wanted to get pregnant and save
Zephyr with the cord blood, right? Did you really think you could keep something that obvious from your
father?”
Veronique bit down on her lip and replied bitterly, “You really have gotten the wrong idea! I only
seduced Justin because I couldn't let go of him!”
“Heh...” Bill let out a sarcastic chuckle as he continued, “Your son's life is in danger, and you expect me
to believe that you'd be in the mood to seduce that man? If you insist on having me expose you, then
so be it. Justin is Zephyr's biological father, isn't he?”
Veronique pursed her pale lips and kept quiet.
What else am I supposed to say in response to that?
Her silence only angered Bill even further. “Fine! I won't force you to talk if you don't want to. That
b*stard probably hasn't gone far. I'll go after him and have him do a paternity test with Zephyr!” he
shouted angrily while walking toward the front door.
Veronique quickly grabbed him by the arm and pleaded, “Please don't do it, Dad! I'll talk! I'll tell you
everything! Justin is Zephyr's father! He—”
The stress and injuries proved too much for Veronique, and she fainted before she could finish her
sentence.
Meanwhile, Christopher summoned Justin to the study after returning to the Xuereb residence.
“Everyone else out there envies our family and thinks we're blessed to be so successful, but they don't
know the price we had to pay to get here. I know you don't have feelings for Scarlett, but that girl loves
you. She has been determined to marry you ever since you saved her life back then. I know that people
in this day and age advocate freedom of marriage, but we aren't as powerful as the Luther family.
Therefore, we don't have what it takes to go against the Fletcher family. Do you understand?”
Justin stared at Christopher as he said in a hoarse voice, “I never said I wouldn't marry Scarlett. In fact,
it would be an honor to marry a woman of her status.”
He then let out a wry chuckle as he continued, “Sometimes, I wonder if me treating Scarlett was a
mistake. Had I not done that, I wouldn't be in this situation today, and I'd be able to marry the woman I
—”
“Watch your words, Justin! There are things that you should never say if you know what's good for her.
Do you understand?”
Justin flashed him a faint smile in response.

The Fletcher family is the most powerful one in this city, and Scarlett is hopelessly obsessed with me...
Looks like I'm never getting out of this one, huh?
“Yes, I understand. I won't make a mistake like this anymore. Is there anything else you want to tell
me? If not, I'll be going to bed now. You should get some rest too. Good night.”
“Not so fast, Justin! I just got a call from Mrs. Fletcher. She says Scarlett's uncle will be celebrating his
fiftieth birthday in five days. You are obligated to attend the party, so go pack your stuff. We'll head over
together tomorrow,” Olivia said as she made her way over and blocked his path.
Justin frowned upon hearing that. A lot has happened today, and I still have many unanswered
questions. What if something happens right after I leave Hallsbay?
“You can head on over if you want. I'll meet you there a few days later.”
“No way. Veronique is still in Hallsbay. There's no telling if she'll pull another crazy stunt like this again.
You must head over with me tomorrow, or I'll have Mr. Revelle send Veronique overseas!” Olivia
insisted.
Justin let out a helpless sigh and gave in after a brief moment of silence. “Fine, but there are some
things I need to take care of before I leave. We'll head out tomorrow afternoon, okay?”
“All right.”
The next day, Bailey was on her way to monitor the fourth clinical trial at the pharmaceutical factory
when she got a call from Zephyr.
After finding out about Bill injuring Veronique with the whip, she changed her course and headed
straight for the Revelle residence instead.
Meanwhile, a secretary entered the CEO's office of Luther Group with an exquisite-looking box in hand.
“A parcel from overseas has been delivered directly to the secretary's office. Your name is listed here
as the recipient, Mr. Luther. Would you like to take a look at it?”
