Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 574
On Julian’s side, the situation was even more trickier than he initially imagined.To have placed the two most important women in his life in danger at the same time... Kayla's boldness had truly reached another level! As he tried to shove down his anger and restrain himself, veins popped on his forehead from the strain. Even the veins on his hands turned purple as he turned to the woman beside him and hissed through gritted teeth, rage lacing his tone, "Kayla!"However, there was no fear on her face. "Grandma likes Diana, so it's only natural she goes with her."Madam Fulcher was getting on in age, and she very well couldn't handle so much stress as in this commotion.Seeing how confident Kayla acted, Julian's heart grew even more chaotic.Fortunately, at that moment, Diana suddenly shouted from the other end of the line, "This seems like a luxurious hotel!"She was relaying information to Julian.His woman was truly clever, and that finally comforted Julian somewhat as his h

"This time, I won't allow anything to interfere with my marriage to Kayla!" Julian exclaimed, his words echoing loudly in Diana's ears.His words were like a hammer ramming ruthlessly against Diana's heart, causing a slight wavering deep in her heart containing her desire to start over. The doubts she had harbored about his words just moments ago shattered.Diana could only hear the roaring of blood in her ears as she felt her heart gradually break into tiny pieces once again.She shouldn't have...believed the look in his eyes...After all, Julian was the best at deceiving people."So," she took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and her grip on Madam Fulcher's hand trembled as she hissed, "You’d disregard Grandma's safety for Kayla's sake?"To confine them here in exchange for the peace of Kayla's wedding must mean that Julian truly loved her.His love for her was genuine.Julian's expression twisted with pain at each word he was forced to say. "Yes." He had achieved such he

Yale Village!It was the same place Kaylad had saved his life!Why would Diana mention this place?Instantly, Julian's hand started to tremble."When you saved me, how old were you? Where exactly in Yale village?" he asked.The conversation was becoming stranger by the minute. Did Diana somehow discover the fact that Kayla had impersonated her and took credit for saving Julian's life in Yale Village?The realization sent Kayla into a sudden whirl of anxiety.She had gone all out this time and even involved Madam Fulcher, intending to make that old hag suffer with Diana.However, her entire plan revolved around her golden ticket of having saved Julian's life. She held on tightly to this lifeline, betting Julian wouldn't kill her because of this and that she could get off scot-free no matter what she did.But now...Diana had mentioned Yale Village!Had Kayla's lie been exposed?Multiple emotions ran through Kayla at this point. There was uneasiness, shock, and also fear. Her

Clenching his teeth, Julian then uttered the cruel words, "But I don't love you, Diana. I never did." 'What were you thinking, Diana? He never loved you! That's why a familiar driver brought me out of the villa. That's why he made sure I never made it to the exhibition to put pressure on Kayla. That's why he trampled all over my expectations of winning the exhibition! That's why he happily invested a hundred million in my business... It was all to make Kayla happy—not me!'Even yesterday, when he pretended to be jealous upon seeing her giving an umbrella to Oliver, it was all a prelude to today's kidnapping!"Julian..." Diana hissed through gritted teeth, her cheeks aching from the pressure of grounding her teeth together. Her eyes were devoid of tears, but the pain that struck her was stronger than the sensation of death.His words were like a knife that was slowly sliding into her, piercing her inch by inch."Do you truly feel nothing for our babies?"She could forgive him for

Even though Kayla had ruined her throat, Julian was still willing to listen to her speak with that horrible voice. That's why he chose to stay by Kayla's side when both she and Diana had been hospitalized.Though Kayla's appearance had been thoroughly ruined, Julian hadn't held Diana accountable. However, that was only because he wanted to handle things in a more appropriate manner for Kayla's sake.Things were never like what Diana had assumed. Julian hadn't sought comfort about Kayla's disfigurement from Diana and deluded himself...He had simply been wholly willing and devoted to Kayla since the very beginning.Diana felt like a thousand needles were poking her palms. She had been holding onto Madam Fulcher's hand for so long, and slowly loosened her grip when she realized that.Suddenly, a sound came from the door, and it swung open. Hans walked in, and on Kayla's orders, he brought a remote control to turn on the television."Watch it," Hans instructed coldly before walking

Diana agreed with this point. But Julian probably didn't care as much for her compared to Madam Fulcher, and his obsession with Kayla seemed to have reached a maddening level."I don’t dare make any baseless speculations anymore," Diana said. Ultimately, her trust in him was completely shattered by disappointment after disappointment.Madam Fulcher naturally noticed Diana's feelings. Instead of immediately discussing the phone call with Julian, she calmly brought up Diana’s birthday. "Do you remember the sign saying 'Dogs like Julian are not allowed inside'?"Diana was surprised at the abrupt change in topic, and a faint bitterness resurfaced in her heart."Yes, I do."Madam Fulcher smiled kindly and said, "Julian made it himself and placed it at the door because he knew you didn't want to see him. He did it so you could have a peaceful birthday in my home."Diana felt her determination waver; the shattered parts of her heart seemed to piece themselves back together slowly by s

Julian had edited himself into the video.And he even pressed his face against Diana's in it.Furthermore, he even said he wanted to hug her...Diana couldn't believe that Julian had spoken such silly behavior and words! But... Madam Fulcher would never deceive her."Julian..." After knowing all these things, an indescribable feeling surged Diana’s heart, the feeling akin to biting into a bittersweet fruit. With just a little force, an infinite and indescribable taste burst between her teeth.Madam Fulcher felt sore from being tied up; although she wanted to move, she couldn't. Despite her physical discomfort, she continued to look kindly at Diana and said, "Tell me what's on your mind.""Did he really..." Diana began to say, but she swallowed harshly before finally continuing, "Did he really...like me and not treat me as a substitute?"Seeing her lack of confidence, Madam Fulcher chuckled. "Diana, my clever girl. Can't you truly see what's in Julian's heart?"The foolish t

Madam Fulcher seemed to have guessed Diana's thoughts, and smiled. "Silly girl, I'm fine. Remember, I promised you I'd live a long and healthy life. I'm in good shape now. Right now, I just want to make a bet with you." A glimmer flickered in Madam Fulcher's eyes, and Diana's features seemed to be deeply imprinted in them. Madam Fulcher looked like she dearly wanted to hold Diana in her arms, and her eyes were filled with love.Madam Fulcher genuinely loved Diana.And she truly felt heartache for her.She wanted to live a long life in this world, and await the day Diana and Julian would reconcile and have children.But now...Her heart twinged with pain and her vision blurred, and certain things became unclear, only appearing as a blur.Madam Fulcher knew her illness was acting up.After years of enduring and training, she had long mastered the skill of remaining calm and composed even in the face of great challenges. She was confident she could hide her physical condition f

Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1553
“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’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1546
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
