Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 632
Diana clenched her fist tightly.She was furious.Furious at Kayla for being truly ruthless and disregarding Madam Fulcher's life!Even now, after Madam Fulcher had just passed away, Kayla took pleasure in their misfortune.No matter what had happened, the older woman was still Julian's grandmother. If Kayla genuinely loved Julian, how could she hold such resentment against the old lady and eagerly awaited harm to befall said person?At this moment, Diana suddenly understood why Madam Fulcher had deceived Kayla into leaving the country. The old woman had long seen through Kayla and her superficial feelings for Julian.Kayla's love for Julian’s worth as a person was far less than her love for his status and wealth.Diana couldn't bear it any longer and shouted angrily, "Kayla!"When she yelled, Kayla looked at her in astonishment.Kayla seemed to have realized there was still hope. Disregarding her dignity, she desperately crawled toward Diana and cried desperately, "My dear si

And then, everything happened quickly."Kayla," Julian snarled coldly; his voice sounded eerier as it echoed in the morgue.The room felt even emptier, and the atmosphere grew much colder.Kayla instinctively shuddered.Through gritted teeth, Julian hissed, "Did you disturb the babies' graves? Did you take their ashes?"There was a seething fury in his words as they passed through his lips; for a moment, it felt as if he had already torn Kayla apart in rage.Diana finally realized that he had probably now only guessed what Kayla had done.Kayla had only mentioned the ashes in passing, but Julian was already pouncing like a leopard lying in wait, eager to sink his teeth into his prey right at its core.And Kayla was that very prey.It was clear Kayla couldn't defend herself. Now, she finally realized the magnitude of her mistake.She had practically admitted to committing such outrageous things as digging up a grave and taking the babies' ashes, and she had said it right befor

"Will you really become my kin?" Julian threw the words Diana had told him last night.Diana's heart skipped a beat as she immediately understood the reason for Julian's angry glare. Her face turned pale as she hurried to reply. "Julian, those were my true feelings. I really do want to be with you—to go from lovers to family and kin.""Really?""Really.""Then… Why didn’t you trust me?"Diana was taken aback by his words.Her worst fear had come true.In the course of the uncontrollable events, Julian had already guessed the nature of Diana’s deal with Kayla.He had already figured out why she didn't tell him about the ashes.And… He had guessed that there were more details about the grave-robbing incident she had hidden from him.In short, the reason for all her actions was because she had never truly trusted him.Kayla digging the grave aside, Julian understood the way Diana acted before this. Since she couldn't confirm his true intentions and didn't believe he would fav

But now, everything was so calm that Diana turned anxious.She thought for a long time, but she couldn't come up with any retort. Every word from Julian’s lips struck her heart and echoed in her mind."Julian..." Her voice was slightly hoarse as she looked at him cautiously and touched his fingertips gently. "Please don't be angry."Julian could sense her attempt to please him. As he felt her fingertips brush against his, most of the anger in his heart had already dissipated.He didn't blame her.The fact she had these strange thoughts stemmed from his failure to provide enough security to her.To begin with, everything was his fault.However, he had no intention of easily forgiving her.He maintained an icy poker face, and sighed with great disappointment. "We'll talk about our problems later."Then, he shifted his gaze and directed his anger toward Kayla once again.His eyes were akin to a shroud, enveloping her in complete darkness. It seemed to perceive the gloom of a mor

Kayla's world collapsed. Driven to the edge, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "How dare you, Julian! How dare you treat me like this in a hospital, in broad daylight and with so many eyes in Richburgh to boot! We have laws in this country! The world is still just and fair!"Julian ignored her words.When he no longer cared about someone, this was how he behaved.He would treat the other person as if they were air.Even less than that, in fact! The stab to the heart—an attack that could have taken Diana's life but instead left him severely injured—as well as the two knife marks on his palm, had erased any and all vestiges of affection he had for Kayla.No matter what Kayla said, he acted as if he couldn't hear a thing.This was the epitome of his indifference.This was his way of severing all emotional ties with someone. Unlike with Diana before, where they were entangled, he would fret over what she did, said, and thought every day.He should’ve understood long ago that

Now that the two sisters had reached this point, it would be a lie for Diana to say that she wasn’t regretful about it.Despite that, there was no distress or reluctance in her heart.Not a single bit.The sisterly bond between her and Kayla had been slowly eroded by both the Winnington family and Kayla herself.Diana gritted her teeth and looked determinedly at Julian. "That said, I still want to know what will happen to her."Though she sought revenge for every slight, she still retained a sense of humanity. No matter how many hardships she faced, her kindness remained. She was akin to a warm sun, and Julian was unable to ignore that wonderful warmth. It made him all the more eager to get closer to her.Unable to resist his emotions, he chuckled, skin and bones shifting with his smile. "Don't worry. I'll have Noel record the entire process for you.""But what if the process is as bloody as what happened to Hans…?" Diana choked out, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes. "M

Julian didn't spare anyone who harmed the babies, not even himself. He went without food for multiple days until his body couldn't bear it any longer. Only under Noel's persuasion did he eat some soup. It was the kind of nourishing soup that Diana excelled at making. Even though Diana didn't make it herself, it still carried a warmth that made him value his own life.And this bowl of soup was served to him by none other than Albert."Sir..." Albert had heard from Noel about Diana's pregnancy; he had wept and regretted his actions deeply. He even knelt until his knees were bloody and torn, filled with immense pain and remorse. "I... This old servant of yours..."Having served the Fulcher family all his life, it wasn’t unusual or exaggerated for him to refer to himself as an old servant. Julian usually didn't like such strong distinctions of status, so he never allowed the old man to call himself that. But now, Albert knew that he couldn't stay in the family anymore. Even if h

If it weren't for Luke setting his sights on Diana and biting off more than he could chew, he would have likely become an old scum who specialized in tormenting women, just like the Pabian family head.In short, the entire Pabian family was rotten.Now that Luke's father had dealt with him personally, it could be considered karma to the Pabian family. Thus, Julian tacitly accepted their offering.Next would be Hans the kidnapper, who was originally a vicious killer. Before his downfall, Julian had Noel investigate him. They discovered that he committed a crime when he was a minor, indirectly causing the death of a family of three. However, he was only sentenced to a few months of rehabilitation due to his age.As he grew older, he started targeting young children simply because a child had accidentally stepped on his foot in an elevator. Hans held a grudge and went straight to the rooftop; he then dropped a flowerpot that hit the child's head, killing the child on the spot.Once a

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
