Female Novel
Chapter 299
Bailey held her hand tightly and gave her an unswerving look.
“Leave it to me, and I'll figure something out.”
Her eyes projected confidence and assertiveness. Instantly, Veronique was assured.
This woman is full of charisma, and she just knows how to calm people down.
“Okay, I trust you. In that case, I'll find the right time to take Justin down and withdraw some spermfrom his body. The moment I get them, I'll leave Hallsbay with Zephyr.”
Bailey frowned and asked, “Must you leave Hallsbay? Do you want to consider giving it a shot? If yousucceed, the four of you can live happily ever after as a blissful family.”
“But what if I lose?” Veronique smiled wryly. “If I fail, dire consequences will follow. I've got no intentionof offending the Fletcher family from Jadeborough. If it weren't for Zephyr's leukemia, I would neverhave appeared before Justin in this lifetime. Bay, I'm not an ambitious person. All I want is for my son togrow up peacefully. I couldn't care less about romance and all that.”
Bailey heaved a long sigh and replied, “Fine, I'll respect your decision. Let's seize Justin and withdrawhis sperm. Subsequently, I'll tell him that we've found a bone marrow match abroad, so we don't needScarlett's anymore. You can leave Hallsbay with Zephyr thereafter.”
“Okay.”
Unbeknownst to the two women, Zephyr was outside the study and overheard most of their
conversation. As the effects of anesthesia subsided, he woke up and started searching for Bailey andVeronique. In the end, he stumbled upon the study.
The line where Bailey mentioned that they wanted to take Justin's sperm caught his ear.
Justin's sperm? Why do they need that?
Speculations flashed across his mind. He assessed his thoughts repeatedly, dismissed somedelusional ideas, and formed new assumptions. He kept reminding himself that the truth would prevail,and he had no way to escape it.
It's suspicious enough for Aunt Veronique to bring me to Hallsbay. It's even weirder when Justinbecomes entangled with her. All these tell me that I'm not Aunt Veronique's nephew, but...
The little one staggered backward at that thought.
They are scheming to get Justin's sperm. Isn't this solid proof to confirm my speculation? They aregoing to use his sperm to fertilize an ovum. Whatever for? To give birth to a new baby and use its cordblood to treat my leukemia, for I'm the son of Aunt Veronique and Justin.
Meanwhile, on a field at the medical base, Susan closed her laptop angrily. Slam!
Both her brothers exchanged glances, completely baffled. Did you get on her nerves?
Then, they shook their heads in unison.
Maxton leaned toward his sister and grinned. “Who stepped on your toes, my dear Susan?”
She tossed the laptop in her hand to Maxton and snapped, “Can't you see for yourself?”
Fine! What a sassy boss!
No one dared to mess with Susan, the precious darling of the family.
They just could not afford to anger her.
“Arethea Gourd? Who is she to compete against Ms. Luther for the Best Child Actor Award at theOscars? Does she have a death wish?”
Susan pouted and hummed, “She's the heiress of the Gourds from Lostaria, whose uncle is apparentlyquite influential in the industry. My manager just texted me, saying that Arethea requested help fromher uncle to bribe the upper management of the Oscars. If I don't get a favor through the back door, theaward will go to her without a doubt.”
“How brazen!” Maxton narrowed his eyes and said, “I'll get Ratemis.”
“What for?” Zayron stopped him and said contemptuously, “If we want to drive somebody crazy, thebest way is to let the person get to the highest pinnacle and then fall to the lowest pit harshly. Didn't shealready get her uncle to use his connections to help her win the award? Well, she thinks she has won.Let her be on cloud nine for several days. When she finds out who goes home with the award on theday of the ceremony, she will fully understand how it feels to have everything she ever wanted takenaway from her overnight.”
Maxton flashed Zayron a thumbs-up after hearing his plan. “You're undeniably the offspring of Ratemis,so vicious and cruel!”
Sitting in between her two brothers, Susan felt her heart leap with joy.
It's so nice to have everyone doting on me. The feeling of being spoiled is priceless!
Beep! Beep!
Suddenly, Zayron's phone rang.
“Hey, what's up, Zephyr?” He put him on loud speaker.
Moments later, Zephyr spoke weakly from the other end of the line. “Lend me a hand, Zayron. Justin'sblood sample or genetic data should be available at the medical base. Please think of a way and getme either one of them. I need it urgently.”
Zayron's eyes darted around. Arching a brow, he asked, “Why do you need that?”
“Just shut up and get me a copy.”
“Are you—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Zephyr hung up. When Zayron tried calling back, the phone wasalready switched off.
What on earth is going on? Has he gone mad after undergoing dialysis?
Maxton nudged Zayron's elbow and dropped a hint. “Idiot! Don't you think that Justin and Zayron lookalike?”
The latter was rendered speechless.
In the infirmary at the Gezmond residence, Wendy was sobbing in Lionel's arms.
Her entire body was shaking uncontrollably.
“Nell... Nell... Will Sebastian be all right?”
That morning, Sebastian was so free that he climbed a tree to disturb a bird's nest. Little did he knowthat a snake was hiding inside it. Alas, he failed to get any eggs and got bitten by the venomous snake.
Panic-stricken, the little fellow fell from the tree and hit the back of his head on a rock, resulting in abloody sight.
Jeez!
“Everything will be just fine. Justin is already inside. With his superb medical skills, he will ensure thatYonathan comes through the peril unscathed.” Lionel stared intently at the door to the operating roomwhile comforting his wife.
Biting her lip, Wendy remained locked in Lionel's embrace.
The faint scent on his body caught her attention. She could tell that it was from a lady's perfume.
In other words, Lionel had hugged or even kissed another woman before returning home.
It was not hard for Wendy to guess who the other woman was.
Since he is now overseeing Saunders Group, he has plenty of alone time to spend with that woman.Their lust and passion for each other can be easily ignited like fire to dry wood.

Two days later, it was time for Zoey to be released from detention, and Waverly went to pick her uppersonally.
On the way back, the latter asked, “Have you thought about what's next after being locked up for overten days?”
Zoey nodded and said, “I'm not going to do anything rash but go with the flow for now.”
Waverly was pleased with her answer. “That's good! It seems like you've become enlightened. Thereare many ways to get a man, but you should never try too hard to the extent that you sacrifice yourselfin the end. It's too silly!”
“I understand.”
Meanwhile, at the lab, Veronique brought along two glasses of wine to the study, and she gave the onethat was drugged to Justin.
“I don't have anything fancy to serve you. Is wine okay?”
