Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 809

After saying that, she turned around and signaled to Olivia.

At that moment, nothing mattered more to her than marrying Justin.

So what if a deceased person's name was added to the ancestral records?

It couldn't hinder her path. In those times, the distinction between legal wives and second wives held little significance. It was all about power and influence.

Whoever held authority could speak confidently and assert themselves.

As the legitimate eldest daughter of the Fletcher family, Scarlett didn't believe anyone would dare label her as a second wife after marrying Justin.

Who in those day and age would dare accuse her of getting pregnant out of wedlock, carrying an illegitimate child, and destroying someone else's marriage?

Being the legitimate daughter of a prominent family brought reverence and esteem. No one dared provoke or cause her distress.

That was the harsh reality. In an era where poverty was mocked but not prostitution, having status and a prestigious background meant being respected and admired.

With the backing of the Fletcher family, it was no wonder she could be so audacious and unbridled.

Upon receiving Scarlett's suggestive glance, Olivia felt uneasy about the situation. However, considering Justin's unwavering nature, she could only grit her teeth and agree.

“Fine, I consent to your request of including that woman in the Xuereb family's ancestral records. But you must also promise me one thing. Once the funeral is over, begin preparations for your wedding with Lettie. Her belly is growing day by day, and we can't continue to delay it indefinitely. She is the legitimate daughter of the Fletcher family. How can she compromise and endlessly wait for you?”

Justin's gaze swept over Scarlett's protruding belly, a shadowy glint flickering in his eyes.

The ordeal would soon be over. All of this would soon come to an end. Even if he had to bear the pressure of being criticized as a heartless man by the outside world, Justin was willing to promise to marry her, feeling that the woman's issue has been resolved.

“Fine, as long as you agree to add Veronique to the Xuereb family's ancestral records, I will commit to giving Scarlett a wedding,” he responded.

As for who the groom would be at the wedding, that would only be revealed on the day of the ceremony. He intended to make it a grand affair. Upon witnessing his concession, a joyful expression lit up Scarlett's face.

“Justin, you promised to give me a wedding? You... you won't go back on your word, will you?”

Without sparing her a glance, Justin turned and walked toward the door.

As he made his way, he stated, “After half a month following the funeral, I will begin preparations for the wedding. Whenever I find the time, I will visit the Fletcher family and personally speak to your parents.”

Visit the Fletcher family? But then wouldn't it expose Father's illness?

If Olivia were to discover his declining health and the impending shift in power, would she still go out of her way to assist me?

“No, there's no need for that. My premarital pregnancy has already tarnished the Fletcher family's reputation. I dare not trouble them any further. For this wedding, we will only invite relatives and friends from the Xuereb family. The Fletcher family will not be invited at this time. We will make it up to them when we have the opportunity to visit Dellmoor.”

Justin paused in his steps, a flicker of confusion crossing his eyes.

What was this woman plotting now?

After pondering for a few seconds and failing to grasp her intentions, he decided it wasn't worth the effort to figure her out. That woman wasn't deserving of so much analysis. Since she stated she wouldn't go to Dellmoor, that suited him just fine. A bare wedding would suffice, and he hoped she would be content with it.

Inside the manor at Moranta, Bailey stood on the steps of the main house, looking down at Lindsey with a furrowed brow.

“Weren't you in Hallsbay? How did you end up in Ustrana?” Lindsey blinked her eyes, letting a few tears fall.

“Shaun was gravely injured, and my mother called me, begging me to come and see him. Bailey, your medical skills are exceptional. Can you please go and examine Shaun? He's still so young, and he can't be left in such a helpless state.”

Bailey could sense a cold, penetrating gaze coming from behind her.

Shaun was a man, and if she agreed to help him with his treatment, wouldn't it drive Artemis into a frenzy?

She couldn't undertake the task no matter what.

The crucial point was that Shaun's injuries were inflicted by Veikko. If she were to step in and save him, wouldn't that put her at odds with him?

“I apologize, Ms. Carter, but even the top medical team of the Carter family struggled in this situation. It indicates that Mr. Carter's condition is quite severe. I truly feel powerless in this matter. I suggest you seek help from someone more capable,” Bailey replied.

Having said that, she turned around and walked toward the room. Lindsey raised her voice and declared, “Bailey, if you refuse, I'll stay right here and pester you every day until you agree.”

Bailey didn't look back, and casually replied, “Do as you wish.”

Lindsey lowered her head slightly, a glint of cold determination flickering in her eyes. Shaun's plan was working.

If she had approached Bailey for any other reason, it would have undoubtedly raised suspicions.

However, if she approached Bailey to save Shaun, she wouldn't suspect a thing. That was human nature. Yes, she compromised. She surrendered to fate. Shaun was right. Only when Bailey was no longer alive could Edmund truly belong to her.
