Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 602
Thunder roared in Diana’s ears, jolting her back to her senses instantly."Ashes?!"The ashes of her babies?Hadn’t Kayla already washed them down in the rainwater, making them flow into unknown and filthy places?"Don't try to lie to me."Kayla had always been ruthless in her actions. Now that she realized the mess she was in and wanted to save herself, it wasn't surprising for her to make up lies on the spot.Diana would never fall for it again."I'm not lying," Kayla retorted. "If I hadn't kept a backup plan for myself, do you think I would’ve dared hurt you and that old hag? You probably haven't realized just how deep Julian's feelings are for you."While Kayla spoke, there was a self-mocking look on her face.Diana instantly understood.The situation was in truth, confusing for those directly involved in it, but clear to onlookers.Kayla had always claimed that Diana was a substitute; perhaps it was merely one of her many hateful tactics to drive a wedge between Diana a

"You're wrong," Diana replied calmly.Her pale, tense face finally showed a hint of a smile."I started way before that."In this world, there was never a reason for someone to receive constant harassment. However, Diana chose to take a detour.She had thought that Julian's beloved was Kayla. Thus, she tried to find ways to strike at Kayla indirectly.But in actual fact...If Diana had been willing to communicate with Julian openly and trusted him a little more, perhaps she wouldn't have had to take all these detours as she had done. All she would have needed to do was give the word, and Julian would have moved even mountains for her.He had proved it, after all. He was willing to throw even his life away for her.Thinking of the man currently fighting for his life in the operating room, Diana's eyes flooded with tears again. Uneasiness and fury surged through her, and she snarled, "Whether it's my babies or Julian, your mistake lies in hurting the people I care about!"If

Upon hearing the familiar name, Diana finally stopped. Her palms had swelled slightly by now, and she hid her trembling hands behind her back before demanding, "What do you want to say?!"That was the village Diana had lived in during her childhood. Even if Kayla had learnt the name of the place from James, there was no reason to bring it up at this moment.Now that Diana had finally stopped, Kayla couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was at least a temporary respite for her.Diana was so despicable… She almost beat Kayla's face to a pulp!However, Kayla didn't dare direct her angry gaze to Diana, nor did she dare insult the latter further. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, "Because... I've been to Yale Village before."Then, she proceeded to reveal the truth about how she had taken Diana's place and taken the credit for saving Julian.The more Diana listened, the more shocked she was. As it turned out, it wasn't that she and Kayla had saved Julian! The connec

Diana looked at Kayla, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes."Kayla, do you even know what love is?""Don't talk to me about abstract things like that!" Kayla screamed, infuriated. "Julian used to be so good to me. Everyone said he loved me! Even I thought he loved me! I thought being treated well and him willing to marry me meant he loved me. But in reality, it was nothing! He never loved me! He took away my fertility because of those two b*stards, and just because I drugged you a little!"Kayla laughed miserably, and she looked up at Diana with anger burning in her eyes. "You must be happy to know I can't ever conceive, huh?!"Diana's heart skipped a beat at Kayla’s unexpected admission."Are you saying...that Julian took away your ability to get pregnant?""Yes!"Kayla's voice trembled as she recalled the terrible incident. A wave of grief and anger washed over her."The dosage I gave you wasn't even that high, but he had someone force the remainder of the drug down my thro

When Diana returned to the hospital, the lights in the operating theater had already dimmed. She went to look inside, but no one was there.With nothing else to do, Diana could only head to the reception to ask for Julian's room number. Luckily, Oliver happened to pass by and spotted her."Diana?" Oliver asked in confusion. "Why aren't you in the ward?"Oliver thought she would be by Julian's side every step of the way. After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on her hand."Where's the bandage on your wrist? And what happened to your palm?"It was so swollen that her hand looked like a pig's hoof, and it was impossible to see her once delicate wrist. It looked particularly wretched."What did you do?" Oliver asked with a deep frown."Nothing."Diana didn't plan on telling anyone about her meeting with Kayla. "I just went out for a while."Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Oliver pressed down the depression in his heart and instead said, "I'll have someone re

Of course, Simon had to start with Diana, his darling brother's beloved.He stared at Diana's figure with an enigmatic smile.The hospital room was filled with people as many people came to visit Julian, and every single person in this room was a prominent figure in Richburgh.When Diana entered the room, she saw countless dignitaries looking up to see her.There was scrutiny in their eyes, but no sense of malice. Instead, there was sympathy.The joy that washed over Diana previously now sank to the bottom once more. She didn't care about who was in the room, let alone bother to greet them. She pushed her way through the crowd and headed straight for Julian."I see you still have a conscience," Vans sneered as he looked up to look at her lazily.He was obviously still holding a grudge against Diana for not waiting outside the operating theater for Julian, and was all too happy to express it openly."If something had really happened to Julian today-""Vans!" Julian hissed, cl

"Have you lost your mind?" Diana cried. She was so infuriated by his behavior that she wanted to scream. "You asked me to scream if it hurts, cry if it’s painful, and laugh if I’m happy, but why can't you be more genuine before me?""I am," Julian said, his forehead covered in sweat.Every time he spoke to her, it seemed to require a tremendous amount of effort.Despite that, he wanted to talk to her.Even without saying a word between them, they knew that this time, this was the real reconciliation.No… Rather than saying it was a reconciliation, this was the first time their hearts were truly connected.This was something that never happened in their three years of marriage.So, how could Julian not be delighted?He felt wonderful, and the greatest woman in the world was now back in his life.If he wasn't happy, who would be?With that thought in mind, the wounds on his body no longer hurt. He just wanted to look at her more and talk to her more."If it hurts so much, why

On the other hand, Diana couldn't bring herself to feel happy. If Julian believed that she was more important...it meant he probably didn't have the same obsession with the ashes of their babies as she did.What if he didn't agree to let Kayla go, and wasn't as determined as her to retrieve the ashes? What should she do, then?In that case, she could only request what she wanted from him without giving him a reason.After thinking for a moment, she decided to make him feel more at ease first before bringing up the issue of freeing Kayla."How's Grandma?"Now that Diana had confirmed Julian's safety, she started to worry about the elderly woman she had left in the abandoned area."Noel sent a message saying she's fine," Julian said as he moved closer to the edge of the bed and patted the empty space next to him, motioning for Diana to join him. "Come. Let's rest a while together."Diana initially wanted to refuse, but she was also eager for some time alone together with him."

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
