Lina immediately screamed at the top of her lungs. Her painful shouts echoed in the sky. “Arghhhh! Damn it all! You bastards!”The moment she said that, her bodyguards, who were all beaten down on the floor, immediately got ready to attack again.This time, their target shifted from Diana to the defenseless old professor and his wife. They were advanced in years, and looked easier to deal with.In fact, the elderly pair were trembling. They were an easy target indeed.Julian stood in front of them, blocking off all potential attacks.At that instant, Diana heard the sound of breaking bones ringing in the air. He had moved so quickly, she didn’t even see how he did it. It sent chills down her spine.“Don’t touch my friends,” Julian warned, as he turned to look at Diana. “Why fear?”In Richburgh, no one was stronger than him.No matter how arrogant and impressive Enzo was, Julian refused to have anything to do with him if Enzo was corrupt. All the more he wouldn’t fear Enzo!T

Strange.Lina never felt this kind of fear, even when standing before her brother.And yet, she felt her heart almost stop when Julian glanced at her.Her wrist hurt so badly.She mustered up the courage to say, “My wrist hurts…”Julian glanced at Noel.Noel immediately walked over, and popped Lina’s wrist back in place.“I didn’t know Noel had such skills,” Diana said admiringly. She teased Noel, “If Cecilia knew, she’d love you even more.”The corner of Noel’s lips lifted, but because Julian was around, he didn’t dare to laugh out loud. His ears gradually turned red, though.Diana thought Noel would remain silent, but he suddenly said, “Ms. Jarvis already loves me very much.”He was clearly proud of himself when he said it.Diana couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Julian, I can’t take it. Why do I find Noel so adorable now?”Julian’s face remained cold and hard, but something shone in the bottom of his eyes. “Because he met the right person.”Just as Julian did.Diana ha

Ian was a mild and gentle man. He quietly worked his way up from being a university lecturer to a professor. His academic theories were solid, and his lecturing style was humorous and interesting. He was also a simple and honest man. When he came across students from financially disadvantaged families, he would even help them out from his own paycheck so that the student could focus on their studies.With that, he had built for himself a stellar reputation.Ian Lemmington rarely lost control of his temper, and would always choose to reason and patiently explain things to others. His wife was similar.However, this wasn’t the case with the Jennings.The Jennings…Enzo Jennings!“If it weren’t for your brother, my daughter would never have gone overseas!” Ian said, his eyes filled with tears.He had a head full of white hair.Hope and yearning for his daughter were all that kept him alive.The thought of his own child made his lips tremble.As Diana held Mrs. Lemmington, sh

He smiled bitterly. “If we die in the hands of the Jennings family, that heartless daughter of ours would finally come back and see us!”She wasn’t heartless!She was just…Dead.She would never come back again.She would never be able to see her parents.Diana never experienced what it was like to have a family when she was young, and would always be emotional when it came to situations like this. When she heard Ian’s words, she almost blurted out the truth to him. She didn’t want him feeling so dejected and hopeless.Thankfully, she was still rational enough. Compared to feeling dejected and hopeless, remaining alive was still more important.Diana’s hand, which was still on Winnie, trembled a little as she pushed down her tears. She looked at the old couple and asked, “What exactly is going on?”She looked at their family portrait, and went on, “How did Ms. Lemmington get involved with Enzo Jennings?”Winnie sighed, and shook her head.Ian had to hand her a napkin to wi

Julian leaned forward and bit her earlobe, and said gently, “You little vixen.”When they first got married, that was what he called her.Diana was like a vixen, fatally attractive to him even without doing anything.To make things worse, she had begun touching him boldly. Fire burned in the room, making their temperatures rise.Diana bit her red lips hard, taking in Julian’s attack. It didn’t take much for him to make sweat cover every inch of her body.Finally, her fingernails dug into his back.“Julian.” She was on the verge of tears.Her cries mingled with sweet laughter as she felt electricity charging through her veins up to her brain, bringing her to a state of ecstasy.She felt as if someone had flung her into the sky.She laid on the fluffy clouds as wind blew past her, her every pore soaking in the refreshing breeze.It felt so comfortable, so unbelievable.So…Captivating, as if she had reached the heavens.She hugged Julian tight.“Let’s have another child.”

Julian didn’t hear what she said after that.Water splashing from the shower could be heard from the washroom. He came out of the washroom after a while, drying his hair with a towel. Beads of water dripped down from his fringe, sliding down his nose bridge.Splat.It dripped on the floor.Diana’s eyes glazed over as she stared at him. Julian smiled as he walked toward her. “You really don’t want anymore?”She smiled back at him knowingly, chemistry shared only between a couple deeply in love brewing. “What exactly are you referring to?”No matter her desire, he was set on taking her to bed again.The next time they opened their eyes, they were woken up by the twins.Betty found it strange. “Mommy, time for dinner! Do you two take afternoon naps together? You napped longer than Sean and me!”Cough…Diana hurriedly put on her clothes under the sheets.She finally emerged from the sheets after wearing her clothes, and opened the windows. “Betty, how did you get in here?”Be

Boo hoo.“Honey,” she said, looking up at Julian. “I’m not stupid. Our son is the one who’s too smart, right?”Julian didn’t answer her.He was rarely this stern with the twins. Right now, the warmth in his eyes had completely vanished. He crouched, and looked at Sean. “Sean, what keys did you press?”“Just some lines of code,” Sean said before asking back, “What’s the problem?”Sean’s affections for Julian hadn’t yet returned. He was only willing to stay in Collina Villa for Diana’s sake.From the bottom of his heart, he could still feel that Julian liked Betty more. His father didn’t care about him. Naturally, he didn’t look upon Julian with much affection.Julian didn’t mind. His eyes lit up as he carried Sean in his arms, as if he had found the most precious jewel in the world.No matter how much Sean struggled to come down, Julian didn’t let him go.Sean was furious.Diana was worried that their relationship would sour even further. She was about to urge Julian to let

Mommy already said that she didn’t want to leave. Couldn’t he hear her?!Julian stared at Sean’s angry little face, and asked the obvious, “Angry?”Sean refused to reply, and instead studied his surroundings swiftly. He then looked down, and tapped on his smartwatch.He had modified this watch.A few days ago, after Julian gave him the laptop, he connected the watch to the laptop. This meant that he needed neither his laptop nor to be in Collina Villa to control the laptop remotely.Very soon, a line of code appeared on his smartwatch. Sean had previously written this code, and just needed to retrieve it from his laptop.Immediately after, the door unlocked with a click.Sean’s tense face relaxed. He glared at Julian, and marched into the living room.Mommy had been forcefully brought back to her room.Sean was furious! He tapped on his smartwatch as he walked.Very soon, all the electronic locks in Collina Villa started beeping. Some even started issuing reminders to reset

She had gradually let go of her desire to get pregnant under Oliver’s persuasion.They stayed relentlessly by each other’s side, albeit childless. Over the years, having experienced all that life had to offer and being each other’s best friend, Oliver died on a peaceful night, never awaking again.Fanny held his hand while sending him off, and closed her eyes forever as well.Diana had seen too many people off in her lifetime.She had grown old herself, too.

Julian even took care of her in person when she

He blurted those words instinctively.He had been waiting so long for a pair of daughters, yet when the doctor came over, he saw a pair of sons instead.Diana thought the hospital must have made a mistake and kicked up a fuss, insisting that she had a pair of daughters. She insisted for them to check the footage from the surveillance camera to see if there was a mix-up. The culprit, Julian, could only stand guiltily at a corner and mumble, “Actually…sons are fine too.”As long as it was their children, it didn’t matter whether they were girls or boys. Either way, Diana was the only woman he loved his entire life. Even his love for his only daughter Betty didn’t match up to that.After witnessing Diana giving birth, Julian’s love for Diana went up a notch, to the point of paranoia.For the rest of their lives, he made sure to never let her worry or touch cold water.He took great care of her.Kate finally appeared two years after Diana gave birth.When the mother and daughter

Nina mentioned the Jenningses. “The Jennings family is gone overnight, just like that.”Diana wasn’t shocked.She guessed that Julian had wanted to do that for a while. Not just for her and to seek justice for the Lemmington family, but also for Simon.Although Julian never allowed Simon to call him his brother, he had wanted to annihilate everything that was involved with the Hughes family since Simon’s death.Him making his move on the Jenningses indicated that the time had come.“Congratulations,” Diana said to Nina. “Has Vans come back to you?”“No,” Nina said with a shake of her head. “Lina Jennings isn’t the only thing standing in between us. We have problems of our own to overcome.”Diana sighed. “I think Marcus is pretty good.”She felt relaxed and comfortable around him.Even if Vans came round and worked with Julian to bring down the Jenningses, and had no feelings whatsoever for Lina, Diana wasn’t exactly eager to be with him.As if they had telepathy with each oth

“He doesn’t need to be jailed,” Fanny said, confused. “One word from him, and his lawyers will be able to exonerate him. I just don’t understand why he’d rather go to jail.”“He wants to pay for his father’s sins,” Diana said with a sigh.Fanny didn’t know what to think of that. Was Oliver innocent, or not? He even went to such great lengths to stop her.Yet, the moment she declared that she would never compromise and would rather be under the protection of Diana than to be involved with Oliver, he clearly looked like he was in a daze.Diana noticed that Fanny hardly smiled over the past few days, and rubbed her hand comfortingly. “He just wants a clean start with you.”Fanny’s heart shook. She couldn’t sleep the entire night.The next morning, she told Diana, “Today’s the day of his trial and sentencing. I want to see him.”Diana asked Julian to send a few bodyguards with Fanny on her trip there.When she returned, she looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoul

Fanny bet that he wouldn’t dare.That was equivalent to eliminating all chances he stood with Diana.Julian witnessed the scene unfolding before him. Instead of getting frustrated, he stood quietly there, ready to protect Diana, as he watched Fanny and Oliver fight it out with each other.Oliver was confused. “Why not?”He glanced at Diana, and went on, “I did like Diana in the past, but I have since given up on those feelings for her. Fanny Smith, is your heart made of stone? Can’t you tell who the woman I like is after all this time?”Fanny was stunned, feeling suffocated as if something was stuck in her throat. “Don’t tell me it’s me.”Oliver was dumbfounded. Who else could he be talking about? The stars in the sky?Fanny felt indignant under his glare. “If you like me, why did you say that I’m just a child-bearing tool for you?”“If I didn’t say that, would I be able to keep you confined in the villa? Would I be able to dash all your hopes and make you feel hopeless?”
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1548
Oliver would never let her go. “Fanny Smith, don’t even think about leaving me in this life!”That was when Diana and Julian hurriedly made their way.Sean located Oliver very accurately. Diana saw the scene unfolding before her, and couldn’t help but recall everything that happened in Jacroaof. She hurriedly told Noel to take Sean outside and wait. She couldn’t afford to gamble on Sean’s safety. She didn’t want Sean exposed to any form of danger right under her nose.Her actions made Oliver tense. “Diana, do you think I’ve gone mad?” He grabbed Fanny’s hand, as if he was holding onto the most precious treasure in the world.Diana didn’t answer him, but she threw her bag that Julian was helping her carry toward Fanny.She was exerting so much force for a pregnant lady, looking as if she wanted to fight with Fanny.Even Julian didn’t know what Diana was trying to do, not to mention Fanny herself.By the time he snapped back to attention and wanted to stop Diana from doing s

However, Fanny must let go of her hatred and past grudges first.The mention of children made Fanny waver. The hatred in her eyes grew even more intense. “Oliver Channing! The cheek of you to mention children!” What gave him the right to say that?!“We agreed,” Oliver said. He didn’t find anything wrong with that. “Fanny, if you want to leave that villa and be free once more, you must give birth to a child of ours.”“What about the child I lost just a few days ago?” Fanny demanded. She found him unreasonable. “Over the past few days, have you ever thought of him, or felt like you let him down? We haven’t even resolved the issues between us, and you want me to get pregnant again. Are you really ready to be a father?!”“I want you to get pregnant again?” Oliver said as he drew closer to her. His eyes were dark, looking as if he wanted to crush Fanny and put her in his pocket. “Weren’t you the one who tried to seduce me by wearing a revealing dress in my house? Fanny Smith, do

Julian stopped talking to the butler, but he was already making plans in his heart.He returned to the study, and told Diana, “Fanny and Oliver have been fighting for a long time, and it might be over something that might potentially destroy their relationship.”In fact… “Fanny might no longer love Oliver right now.”However, the fact that Oliver faked her death and confined her was enough to show that he still cared for her.If he realized that Fanny no longer loved him, he might do something even crazier.“Let’s hurry up and save her, then!” Diana said.“Wait,” Julian said calmly, “I’m not done with my prediction.”“What?”“Oliver really doesn’t like you now.” Julian’s mood lifted as he arrived at his final conclusion. “We can step in to help Fanny.”Diana was dumbfounded.She had thought that Julian went to such great lengths to analyze the situation for the sake of saving another. To think that his possessiveness took over, and he prioritized figuring out Oliver’s feeli

The three of them entered the study.None of them expected to see a portrait of Diana right in the middle of the study.The portrait was most likely drawn by copying a photo. In the portrait, Diana was eating something with a smile. It looked like the day when Diana encountered a pervert on the train and Oliver stepped in to help her and treated her to a meal.Did she smile so tenderly at him at that time?“You couldn’t have smiled so happily at that time when we were fighting over Kayla.”It was a portrait, not a photo. It was likely that the owner of this portrait added his own interpretation and features when he commissioned this portrait.“He still has feelings for you,” Julian said coldly.He no longer wanted to interfere with the affairs of the Channings.However, Diana disagreed. “If he really had feelings for me, he wouldn’t hang my portrait up so boldly right here.”The fact that Oliver could display the portrait for all to see proved that his feelings for Diana were
