Chapter 572 I Will Stab Myself
Pregnant?
Go abroad?
Perhaps...
When Bailey recalled Juliana's strange behavior before she left Hallsbay, a thought flashed across her mind.
Maybe, that night, Zeke slept with Juliana?
Then again, how did Shirley get pregnant?
Since she dared to go to the Shurmer family and tell them about her pregnancy, she must be very confident that
the child she was carrying belonged to Zeke. Otherwise, a paternity test would expose her.
Did Zeke sleep with both of them that night?
If that's the case, it'll be a mess!
“Bailey, it doesn't matter who is carrying Uncle Zeke's child. Right now, the most important thing is to stop Uncle
Zeke from marrying the other woman. Let's sort everything out first. What do you think?”
Suddenly, Bailey returned to her senses. Yes, the boy is right.
I'll have to stop Zeke and Shirley from registering their marriage. If Julie is indeed carrying Zeke's child, then the
two of them will have missed their chance to be together, won't they?
She took out her phone and dialed Zeke's number.
The phone rang for three seconds before it was being answered. She could hear the cold voice of Zeke's. “Yes,
Bay? What can I do for you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn that instant, Bailey's heart sank. “Where are you now?”
After a moment of silence, Zeke replied leisurely, “I'm at the bar. Did something happen to you?”
He sounded anxious all of a sudden.
Bailey took a deep breath before she said through gritted teeth, “Are you with Shirley?”
“We received our marriage certificate.” Zeke even joked, “Aren't you going to congratulate me? At last, I have
settled my marriage issue.”
“Which bar are you at?”
“The one on the other side.”
“Wait for me. I'm coming to look for you.”
That took Zeke by surprise. “Don't come here. It's very noisy. If there's something urgent, I can come to the Luther
residence right now.”
“No, I'll go there and look for you,” said Bailey obstinately.
With that, she hung up the phone and rushed out the door.
Felicity reminded her, “Be careful. Take a coat with you so that you won't catch a cold. Get the driver to send you
there. Don't drive on your own.”
“All right.”
Back at the Shurmer residence, it had only been half an hour since Shirley received her marriage certificate. Yet,
she was shocked when she saw the trending news on the Internet.
That wh*re, Juliana, is pregnant?
If the news was true, then she must be carrying Zeke's child.
Oh, God.
What if she comes back and looks for Zeke?
The marriage certificate in her hand began to feel like a hot potato.
The certificate felt so heavy and it seemed to be mocking her for her foolishness.
“Juliana, Juliana, you just refuse to disappear. Of all the days, you have to announce your pregnancy on the same
day we register our marriage. This is too much!” she mumbled to herself as she scanned through other news.
When Shirley saw that the Hoffman family had announced that Juliana's child belonged to Huntley, she was
relieved.
Thank God!
Now that the whole world knew that Juliana was carrying Huntley's child, she could never come running back to the
Shurmer family even if she regretted it because no one would believe her. In fact, that could ruin her reputation.
Shirley was Mrs. Shurmer now.
As for Juliana, if she dared to return and steal her husband away from her, Shirley would make sure that she
became the most miserable mistress in the world.
That took Zeke by surprise. “Don't come here. It's very noisy. If there's something urgent, I can come to the Luther
residence right now.”
...
Inside the infirmary at the Xuereb residence, Justin stood quietly by the bedside. As he looked at Veronique, who
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas lying on the bed, his eyes darkened.
He had been waiting outside for the past three days, hoping that she would change her mind.
Unfortunately, she did not. She seemed to have gone to a dead end.
“Must we get a divorce?”
After not getting any sleep for the past few days, Justin looked very haggard. When he talked, his voice sounded
hoarse.
Veronique opened her eyes slowly and looked at him calmly. “My dad, my sister, and Zephyr have all failed to talk
me out of it. Justin, do you think you can change my mind with just a few words? Don't waste your time. I don't want
to hear it.”
“I won't.” Justin continued, “I suppose you won't listen to reasons now. Perhaps, only the most simple and brutal
method can awaken you.”
With that, he picked up the fruit knife from the nightstand.
Veronique's expression changed abruptly. “Justin, what are you trying to do? Don't be crazy. Stop—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Justin stabbed himself in the abdomen with the fruit knife.
The sudden intense pain assaulted his senses, and he fell to his knees. His handsome face turned pale in an instant.
So did Veronique's face. After much struggle, she sat up and grabbed his arm before yelling, “Justin, why must you
do this?”
A sad smile appeared on Justin's face.
“I have stabbed myself in the abdomen, but it won't kill me. If you continue to behave in this nonchalant manner, I
will stab myself in the heart.”
He was about to pull the knife out when Veronique rolled off the bed and fell into his arms.
