Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1475
Her diligence at doing handstands coupled with the frequency he was visiting her…Oliver’s brows furrowed. He was getting worried.He was worried that Fanny would soon get pregnant. She might eventually tell him that she wanted to leave him after giving birth to their child!That was her goal, wasn’t it?She was the one treating him as a tool.He could sense her affection for him vanishing, and he felt suffocated. He couldn’t help but look at her; he was about to stop her when he heard his phone ring.It was a call from his father.Oliver’s eyes turned dark. He glanced at Fanny before heading to the washroom. Very soon, he came out of the washroom once more, his face pale.“I’m heading home.”His father was on the verge of death.Shock flashed past Fanny’s face when she found out.She hadn’t taken revenge yet. She hadn’t even found out her parents’ names!How could that man just die like that?!At that moment, she couldn’t figure out if she felt happy or not. She instincti

Fanny didn’t expect to step out of the villa in this way.At that moment, she felt her long-lost freedom coming back to her.However, it was short-lived. To prevent her from escaping, Oliver assigned her a bodyguard.This bodyguard was different from Yvonne. Fanny had tormented Yvonne relentlessly, in order to get Yvonne to hide and ignore her. Yvonne wouldn’t even respond when Fanny called. That gave Fanny some time to herself.This bodyguard was different. He was impenetrable.He was in Fanny’s way throughout, following right behind her everywhere she went—just like a huge stone. When they arrived at the hospital, Oliver headed straight for the ward.Fanny was stopped outside, with the bodyguard right near her. She wanted to shake him off and follow Oliver into the ward, but the bodyguard refused to budge. “Mr. Channing has given orders that you are to stay here and not go anywhere.”What was the difference between keeping her in the villa and making her stand here under w

“I got played out,” said the actress, Erin Lane. Her eyes were red. Erin grabbed Fanny’s arms, and squeezed hard. When she felt the warmth of Fanny’s body, she finally believed that Fanny wasn’t dead. “Ever since you…” Erin paused. Instead of saying that Fanny had died, Erin amended her words, and said “Ever since something bad happened to you, chaos ensued in the company. Mr. Channing did step forward to help manage things, but his oversight was limited only to famous actors and actresses. Things were tougher for unknown actors and actresses like me.”Erin had just signed a contract with the company, and Fanny didn’t have the chance to sign her up in a movie or drama. Fanny initially wanted Erin to be featured in the show she was prioritizing, but didn’t expect to suffer from a miscarriage during the filming. Right now, she couldn’t even save herself from her plight, not to mention others.One thing she didn’t expect was for Oliver to manage her company.She thought he would le

Erin kept her head down, and the bodyguard didn’t dare to lean in closer. The sight of her returning was enough to put him at ease.Fanny didn’t see any commotion breaking out behind her, and knew that her ploy had worked.She truly didn’t expect the person Oliver sent to wash the toilets to help her at such a critical moment.Perhaps the heavens couldn’t bear it any longer. The heavens wanted to give her a chance to seek revenge from the Channings.Fanny walked to the door of the ward, where doctors streamed out incessantly. She could overhear their conversation about how the patient was in a dire condition, and that Mr. Channing wanted to hold a discussion with them. He even invited an expert.“Mr. Channing would be able to live for another week or so. There’s still a chance, go for it!”One week…He could live another week.So many people held him in such high regard, running around and doing all things for his sake—yet, her parents didn’t even have the chance of getting res

Oliver wasn’t willing to take over the family business. He was happiest when he worked as a doctor.But because of Kenneth’s deteriorating health, Oliver was forced to work for the family. Bogged down by the overwhelming demands of business, Oliver no longer had the chance to pick up his beloved scalpel.Although Oliver never spoke a word about it, Kenneth knew that his son wasn’t happy working for the company.He couldn’t even be with Diana, the woman he loved. Thankfully, he fell in love with Fanny, who loved him with all her heart.Kenneth was delighted to see that.But…His sins against the Smiths came back to haunt him like a nightmare.He was worried Oliver might find out about his secret, and that might drive a wedge between them as father and son. Therefore, he decided to come clean. Whether Oliver would be upset or shocked wasn’t part of his consideration.He was a father with a penchant for manipulating his son.But right now, he regretted it deeply.He was about to

However, Kenneth was sure she wouldn’t actually do it.“Your parents’ graves…” he said.He still had information she needed.As he had expected, Fanny gradually calmed down.She couldn’t kill him by removing his oxygen mask. Being a criminal because of him wasn’t worth it.She had to make him bear the judgment he deserved for being a murderer, under the jurisdiction of the law!So angry she was, her fingers trembled. She suppressed her fury as best as she could.“Tell me.”Kenneth went on, and there was not a single trace of guilt in his voice. “Their graves are in City East Graveyard.”That graveyard…Fanny’s eyes lit up. “I’ve been there before!”Kenneth was stunned. “You have? When did that happen?”It was a few years ago, when she just started acting. She wasn’t famous at that time. The Channings acted as her backer and paved her way in the industry with their money. While no one dared to do anything to her, many gave her the cold shoulder.When she became the suppor

But it was all right. Even if she didn’t make a move on him, Kenneth had the confidence that Fanny would share the recording to the world.When that happened, Oliver would oppose her vehemently. Kenneth was his father, after all. Oliver wouldn't want to see his father’s reputation smeared after death. Their break-up would be inevitable!If Fanny kept on by Oliver’s side, she might take revenge and kill him in cold blood. That would be disastrous! The grudge between him and Fanny’s family must not implicate Oliver in any way. Kenneth was sure he had it all figured out.Just as he had correctly guessed that Fanny was still alive, he was convinced he could make the most ideal arrangements for the rest of Oliver’s life.Yet, he forgot one thing.He was old and advanced in years. So old that…he had become muddled.Oliver had no idea about his father’s plans. He was in the meeting room, discussing new operating procedures. Some doctors brought forth their proposals, but they were

After a while, Julian persuaded Noel, “If anything happened to her and you didn’t pick up the call, you’ll regret it your entire life.” He was more experienced in the area of romance.Back then, had he been more patient in explaining things to Diana or communicated more with her, she wouldn’t have had to suffer so much all by herself and even leave Richburgh.Right now, it was clear that Noel was still unable to let go of Cecilia. Yet, he was pretending to be indifferent about her and insisting against picking up her calls. It reminded Julian of how foolish he had been in the past.Noel pondered over Julian’s words.Ultimately, he shook his head. “No, I won’t pick up her call.”He continued driving. He then glanced at the GPS, and said, “But I want to use your phone to call her.”He wanted to see if Cecilia would pick up the call of another person. With that, he could see if she was trying to play a prank on him or not.“We don’t have each other’s number,” Julian said. It was

“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?”
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
