Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1342
Throughout the entire dilation and curettage process, Fanny felt almost nothing. It was precisely because of the lack of sensation that the pain came belatedly. She felt as if a knife was slowly penetrating her heart, and the pain was unbearable.In the end, her tears dried up along with the pain of the procedure.When Oliver came to see her, she lay on the bed, her long black hair contrasting against her snow-white skin. She looked almost ethereally pale, exuding a haunting, broken beauty.Oliver entered without a word. Holding a towel, he dried her off and then took her hand. Then, he slowly wiped her fingers clean, one at a time.Fanny didn't resist. She wasn't compliant, either. She simply had no strength left and was unwilling to talk to this cruel man. However, her eyes remained fixed on him until he stood up and attempted to leave. That was when she spoke, asking, "When are you going to let me go?"He had already made it clear. When she became pregnant again and gave

She was also a large-scale female entrepreneur. Unfortunately, all that money had been given to Oliver. Oliver had given her shares in the Channing family in exchange. However, Fanny felt nauseous when she thought about it. It was as if she had eaten something vile, and it left a disgusting taste in her mouth.The Channings were unforgivable.Yet,she had actually...She had actually saved them!How could she accept this?How could she justify this to her deceased parents?And all of this was Oliver's fault!He knew the truth, but still wanted to hide it from her forever!Just because..."So you never loved me."The person he loved was always Diana. He never changed his mind. He never gave up on Diana, and he never fell in love with Fanny!She had always been his backup plan. She was the one he didn't love...The one he could treat like garbage at any time!Unable to restrain herself, she cursed at him again, "You're disgusting!"She would never reconcile with him in

In the surveillance footage, it was evident that her shoes had been pierced by the glass as blood seeped from the soles. Despite the discomfort and her wounds, she resolutely jumped down towards the iron clamps!But it didn't matter. Watching a resilient person despair brought more joy and a sense of accomplishment than watching an ordinary person despair. Oliver wanted to destroy Fanny gradually, making her experience the same despair as his unborn child!At the thought of his unborn child, the child he hadn't had the chance to place his hand on Fanny's belly to greet, his heart throbbed in pain. He would never let Fanny leave this villa, nor would he allow her to seek revenge on his father. He wanted to slowly grind away all her determination, all her resilience, and make her truly understand how foolish it was to get rid of that child.Dragging her injured body, Fanny gradually moved forward. If she endured a bit more, she could push open the door before her. If she p

He treated her as a spare tire—even worse, just a tool for reproduction. After all, the one he loved was still Diana. Why should she continue to feel heartache for him? From now on, they were just a couple carrying the burden of an ancient feud. Perhaps, soon enough, they wouldn't even be a couple anymore. Fanny didn't believe it. This time, she couldn't escape. She wouldn't be able to escape in the future.But, one day...She would definitely escape.Fanny closed her eyes, holding back the tears that threatened to fall. Snot seemed to have formed in her throat. The discomfort gradually made her forget the pain in her body, but the blood was still flowing freely."Fanny," Oliver said. His eyes showed some reluctance, but it quickly disappeared. "Since you want to leave me so much, I'll grant your wish."He bent down, and lifted her into his arms. He walked slowly towards the villa that was about to be reinforced and completely sealed. This used to be the embrace she cr

The news of Fanny's sudden death spread throughout Richburgh. Previously, many regretted that Fanny had given up the opportunity to become the top female star to marry Oliver. When they learned that she was the Channings’ adopted daughter and childhood friends with Oliver, and considered each other as siblings, the marriage took on an ambiguous tone.No one expected more than three years later, the initially underestimated couple had walked together to the present. Those who had seen them together claimed that the two treated each other with respect, and seemed genuinely happy. Some even joked that Kenneth had arranged a perfect match for Oliver since his childhood, leading to this fortunate union.In summary, their marriage was considered a beautiful story. What no one foresaw was that Fanny would die at the peak of this seemingly blissful marriage.When Diana heard the news, she struggled to remain standing. Fanny had extended a helping hand to her during her most difficult
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1347
Fanny's manager had personally told Diana about Fanny's pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage. At that time, she even claimed she couldn't find Fanny, and that the latter had been taken away by Oliver. What happened afterward? How could a miscarriage lead to losing one's life?! Diana's thoughts grew more uneasy. She couldn't shake the feeling that this matter wasn't so simple. Besides, Oliver lost both his wife and child simultaneously. How could he remain so calm? When they were sent off, he calmly and thoughtfully considered opening the car door for Diana."It's because they had a child between them. Even though it was an accident, it existed nonetheless. Oliver is even less likely to do anything to a woman who has just miscarried. Miscarriages...they can also be life-threatening," Julian said. Moreover, it was raining heavily last night. When Oliver took Fanny to the hospital, the weather might have delayed them. Anything could have happened during that time.Diana wa

Even in the depths of despair, Oliver had a habitual consideration for others. Opening the car door for her just now was likely a result of this ingrained habit."It's a pity," Diana sighed. "Oliver is such a good man! If Fanny hadn't met with this tragedy and had given birth to their little baby smoothly, she would have undoubtedly lived a very happy life.""Yeah," Julian sighed, agreeing. "Even the longstanding family feud couldn't affect their relationship. Unexpectedly...death was the thing that caused their separation."As he said that, Diana's calmed heart started to stir again."I can't help it," Diana said.Considering her unborn child, she didn't want to cry again. But the thought of Fanny, who was suddenly gone despite being alive only a while ago, overwhelmed her. The thought of the little baby in her belly and how Oliver would be alone from now on distressed her deeply.Tears welled up in her eyes, and slowly slid down her cheek. Her tears were a tribute to the depart

"I know." Diana had already restrained her emotions, and was trying to think of some happy things. "This time, I might not be able to endure until the full term. I might need a cesarean section."In other words, the time for the cesarean section hadn’t been determined yet.Nina was cautious in this regard. "Just follow the doctor's advice, okay? When necessary, I'll bring Vans and stay with you."When Nina mentioned Vans with such familiarity, Diana asked with delight, "Have you two reconciled?"Perhaps Jim had taken care of it when she mentioned the Jenningses to him? If that was the case, she needed to call and thank him.However, Nina didn't answer. She just smiled. It was a bashful smile, and she obviously didn't want Diana to inquire further.Ignoring Nina's expression, Diana said seriously, "Nina."She held Nina's hand, and asked solemnly, "Has the Jenningses taken the initiative to draw a clear line with Vans?""How is that possible?" Nina smiled bitterly. "Lina like

“Life is all about reconciliation.” Decades passed in the blink of an eye. Diana’s children had all grown up.Kate and Isaac had both passed away. Even Diana’s old friends, Fanny and Oliver, had left the world too.Fanny was never able to get pregnant again after that rainy night. 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. She could see her life slowly ebbing away.“Julian, I’m so happy to have lived my life with you.” She had transformed from a disgraced young woman to Mrs. Fulcher, respected by all in Richburgh. 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?”

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
