Chapter 238

Beatrice sighed to herself as she looked at her daughter, who was boiling with rage.

She knew her daughter would storm off to settle the scores with the woman if she divulged the identity

of the woman whom she suspected.

They could not afford to make any mistakes at this critical point.

“The wedding is coming right up. You'd better focus on being a bride. I'm going to tell you when you

feel better. Otherwise, you're going to regret your rash decision by then.”

Rhonda pursed her lips and gave Beatrice a disapproving look. “Mom, do you think I'm that impulsive?

Forget it, then. I just want to be Artemis' bride right now. I'll deal with the rest when I'm Mrs. Luther.”

“That's my girl.” Beatrice reached out to caress her daughter's head, a cold glint in her eyes.

The eldest daughter of the Shurmer family, Zoey Shurmer... Hah. Sophia Carr had only died in the fire

because she knew of the Shurmer family's darkest secret. I should investigate what happened back

then. If I could get hold of more secrets of the Shurmer family, perhaps I could use it to protect Ronni

from Zoey.

Meanwhile, in the study of Shelbert Condominium, Bailey was leaning against the bookshelf as she

eyed Veronique, who was slumping against the couch.

There was an unfathomable look in Bailey's eyes.

“Vero, why don't you tell me what you're planning to do?”

Veronique lowered her head and kept quiet for some time before she parted her lips to say, “I'd like to

ask Scarlett out and let her know the truth about Zephyr's identity. I did get pregnant with Zephyr before

she knew Justin. She cannot possibly blame me for this.”

“And then? What do you plan to do next? Are you going to ask her to leave Justin so that he can take

on his responsibility as Zephyr's father?”

Pursing her lips, Veronique did not reply.

Bailey shook her head and let out a sigh. “Vero, you're underestimating how tenacious a woman can be

when she's in love, and I know for a fact that Scarlett is very much in love with Justin. Even if you did

give birth to Justin's son, she will not just back out because of this. Don't ask me how I know about this.

My intuition as a woman is telling me that this is the way things are going to play out.”

Veronique looked at her and let out a chuckle. “Actually, that's not what I plan to do at all. In fact, I plan

to propose a deal to Scarlett. If she agrees to donate the bone marrow, I will take Zephyr far, far away,

and never return to bother Justin. If she refused to take up the offer, I will be left with no choice but to

tell Justin of Zephyr's identity. Maybe as his father, Justin's bone marrow might be a good match. Even

if his bone marrow doesn't match Zephyr's, there is a good chance that anyone in the Xuereb family's

bone marrow will match Zephyr's.”

Hearing that, Bailey furrowed her brows.

“This is quite risky, Vero. I'm worried that Scarlett might think of getting rid of Zephyr. After all, there is a

possibility that Justin might leave her because of Zephyr. A smart woman in her position would choose

to nib the problem in its bud.”

When Veronique heard that, her face paled.

Truthfully, the possibility did cross her mind. However, she was reluctant to face the truth.

“W-What should I do, then?”

Bailey thought for a moment before replying, “Give your sister a call. Ask her to come back for a while.

To everyone else, she is Zephyr's mother. She should be the one to try and talk to Scarlett about this

so that she could try to sound out Scarlett's thoughts on this first.”

“But this is going to take a longer time. I'm afraid that Zephyr might not be able to wait until then,”

Veronique mumbled hesitantly.

Making her way to Veronique's side, Bailey reached out to take the former's hand. “I've said it, and I'll

say it again. Zephyr will be fine for the next seven months. I think my plan is much less risky than the

one you suggested. Vero, the Fletcher family's influence knows no bounds. If you were to reveal

Zephyr's true identity to Scarlett, it is no different than letting him meet his demise. Do you

understand?”

Struggling to come to a decision, Veronique slumped on the couch. In the end, she relented as she

responded, “All right. I'm going to call my sister and ask her to come to Hallsbay.”

“Okay.”

Meanwhile, in the Shurmer residence, an elegant middle-aged woman was sitting on the couch.

Despite her being in her fifties, she looked as though she was only in her forties.

She was Waverly Gezmond, the eldest daughter of the Gezmond family, and she became the matriarch

after marrying into the Shurmer family in Lostaria.

“Mother, this is the overview of the situation. I think you really need to talk some sense into Zoey, lest

she gets herself further into this mess. Otherwise, you're going to lose your daughter,” Zeke said.

He sat opposite Waverly and recounted the incident of Zoey drugging Rhonda with an abortifacient.

Waverly let out a soft sigh after listening to Zeke. “Your sister has already succumbed to this madness

seven years ago. You're her elder brother. Are you going to sit idly by and watch her get tormented by

her unrequited love?”

Stumped, Zeke narrowed his eyes at his mother. “Are you saying that you're going to let Zoey continue

doing this? Mother, you ought to know that you're an accomplice to her crimes if you don't stop her.

You're doing her more harm than good this way!”

Waverly took the cup of coffee from the table and took a sip before she said, “Me stopping her is what's

truly bringing her harm. She ought to go after the man she loves.”

If Zoey has what it takes to be the daughter of the Jefferson family and become the matriarch of the

Luther family, why should I stop her?

Zeke's lips pursed into a thin, hard line. It was apparent that he disapproved of his mother's stance.

“Artemis doesn't love Zoey.”

With a smile, Waverly retorted, “He doesn't love the girl from the Jefferson family either. I think Zozo

still stands a chance.”

“So, are you going to connive at her actions?” Zeke asked in an incredulous tone.

Waverly put down the cup of coffee and leveled a stare at her son. “Your sister is a stubborn one. She

has her eyes set on Artemis. If I stop her now, she's going to suffer in regret forever. As a mother, I

cannot be so cruel to her. Just let her be and try to watch her back. Don't let her suffer any indignance

and harm those who are innocent again.”

At the same time, in a bedroom on the second floor, Zoey was answering a phone call as she leaned

against the bedframe.

“What's the progress?”

She put the call on speakerphone. The man on the other line said respectfully, “Ms. Zoey, I've made the

arrangements as instructed. A sensational video of the bride having sex with another man will be

broadcasted for all guests to see. I bet that the guests will be intrigued.”

As Zoey toyed with her nails, she let out a chuckle. “Well done. Remember to remove all trails that will

lead to me.”

“Don't worry, Ms. Zoey. I will take care of it so that the Luthers and the Jeffersons will not find out a

single thing,” the man replied.

“Okay.”

When the call ended, Zoey's lips curled into an eerie smile.

Rhonda Jefferson, do you really think you can snatch my man away from me? I am a Shurmer, and

you're only fit to grovel at my feet! Enjoy the wedding gift that I've prepared for you. I'd like to see how

you're going to walk out of Century Hotel when the video of you having sex with another man is

broadcasted for everyone to see.

At night, in the condominium, Victoria was stumped at the sight of the man who was standing right in

front of her door.

“L-Lionel...”
