Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Bailey made her way into the study before answering the phone. “What is it?”

“There's something I need to tell you about. I've long since known about Zephyr being Veronique's son. After testing her out last night, I can confirm that the boy is indeed Justin's son.”

Bailey froze as she recalled Zayron's words from earlier and understood what was going on.

So, that's why Veronique went to see Justin! She drugged him so she could get herself pregnant with his child. She's planning on saving Zephyr with her cord blood! It's a shame her plan failed. She must be in despair right now, huh?

“Does Justin know?”

“I've tried testing him, but he insists on marrying Scarlett. I'm worried that the Fletcher family will go after both the Revelle family and the Xuereb family if the news about Veronique's son gets out.”

Bailey frowned. “That serious?”

“Bailey, do you know how powerful the Fletcher family is? Well, I suppose you wouldn't be asking me that if you did.”

Bailey fell silent.

The Fletcher family? As in the Fletcher family that is regarded as a legend among politicians? Justin is engaged to their daughter? Okay, that really is news for me...

“Oh, I know about the Fletcher family. Similar to how the Luther family is regarded as the head of the business world, the Fletcher family holds a similar position in politics. Things are going to be difficult if they have set their sights on Justin. Sloan would never let him escape his fate.”

“I think it's best if you don't get yourself involved in their affairs. Just let Veronique make her own decisions. These are the two most prestigious families in the world of medicine. We can't take responsibility for what happens to them.”

Bailey shook her head helplessly and said with a sigh, “I'll be careful. Is there anything else you'd like to tell me?”

“Yes, I have some pickup lines for you.”

“Oh, f*ck off!”

Meanwhile, at the Revelle residence, Olivia had a stern expression as she told Bill everything that happened at the café.

“Mr. Revelle, is this what you're teaching your daughter? To use underhanded means when she can't get what she wants fairly and squarely? My son is going to marry Scarlett of the Fletcher family. If they find out what happened, neither of our families will survive their wrath!”

Smack! Bill slammed his palm on the table and glared fiercely at Veronique, who was kneeling on the floor. He shouted, “You shameless wretch! Have you not humiliated yourself enough seven years ago? I can't believe you'd be crazy enough to try and steal Scarlett's fiancé! What could you possibly do if the Fletcher family comes for you?”

Veronique's slender body trembled slightly as she said apologetically, “I'm sorry, Dad! I won't do it again, and I will no longer desire what doesn't belong to me!”

Bill shifted his gaze back toward Olivia and Christopher as he continued, “My daughter's actions were the result of my poor parenting. For that, I am sorry. Please rest assured that I will keep a close eye on her from now on. I won't let her harass Justin ever again.”

“Your daughter overestimated herself and thought she could take the Fletcher family on, but you know better. I'm sure you're well aware of their background. Sloan has chosen Justin as his son-in-law, and that isn't something your daughter should be messing with. What she did nearly put both our families in harm's way. I think you should teach her an unforgettable lesson, Mr. Revelle,” Olivia replied with a sneer.

Bill closed his eyes briefly before opening them with a hint of decisiveness on his face. “Fetch me the whip, Alfred.”

The butler, Alfred, was shocked when he heard that. “Sir, Ms. Veronique has yet to recover from her injuries from seven years ago. You might break her bones if you whip her! Maybe—”

“Save it, Alfred. Just do as I say and bring me the whip.”

With his teeth clenched, Alfred ran out of the living room to retrieve the whip.

Justin frowned as he stared at Veronique with a sympathetic look in his eyes.

There's nothing wrong with her loving me.

With that in mind, Justin said, “I think we can forgo the whipping, Mr. Revelle. Just make sure she doesn't make any more mistakes like this in the future.”

He then turned toward Olivia and continued, “This matter ends here. You will let this slide if you wish for me to marry Scarlett.”

“Justin, are you threatening me?”

“You are free to ignore my threat, but keep in mind that whether or not I marry Scarlett will remain an uncertainty.”

“You...”

Alfred had returned with the whip before Olivia could say anything further.

Bill ignored them as he took the whip over and walked up to Veronique. He then raised his arm and brought the whip down on her slender back.

“I've always been teaching you to watch your words and think before you act, so why didn't you listen? You brought this punishment upon yourself!” he shouted while whipping her again.

Veronique had obstructed labor when giving birth to Zephyr seven years ago, and she lost a lot of blood when the doctors performed a C-section to get him out. As her body hadn't recovered fully, she couldn't possibly withstand a whipping like this. All it took was two strokes of the whip for her to cough up blood and collapse.

Bill raised his arm for a third stroke when a figure darted into view and threw itself at her.

Bill was shocked when he saw who it was, but it was too late for him to stop at the time.

Just like that, the final stroke of the whip landed on Zephyr's body. Although the force had been reduced significantly, Zephyr's body was still weak from his illness.
