Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 64
Luke’s gaze shifted sideways. Seemingly in thought, he turned to look at Diana, whose head was still covered.Kayla, on the other hand, was thoroughly enraged by his words. "You're blind!"She had the looks but not the attitude?Why did she need to be like Diana?When Kayla was three, her father had intentionally abandoned Diana all because of something she said. Ever since that day, Kayla knew she was destined to be the winner and Diana the loser!Diana, who was forced to grow up in the countryside, would always be inferior to Kayla, who was the favorite daughter of the Winnington family.In fact, even Diana’s birth mother, Kate, was under Kayla’s complete control.If anything, Diana was the one who resembled Kayla!That clown Luke had no right to criticize her!Kayla was so used to being pampered that she couldn't bring herself to let things slide, even at such a critical time. She wanted to slap Luke, but he pushed her away roughly and snarled. "What the hell? How dare you
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 65
This time, Luke tore away the cloth over Diana's head. She could finally speak freely.The sudden exposure to light made her subconsciously close her eyes. However, Luke moved even closer. Standing by her side, he said eerily, "Make sure you scream louder."Diana felt goosebumps all over her body. She looked up. "W-What are you doing?" Her voice was trembling."We're recording." Luke smiled. "As long as you cooperate, I'm sure it'll come out well."He then glanced at where Kayla was hiding. "That woman who showed up on her own said she's very good at this. She even found the best angle for us."Diana's body was trembling. "What do you mean? Did Kayla say…she'll record us?"She could barely utter the last two words, and had to say the words through gritted teeth. After that, she began looking for Kayla. However, Kayla was nowhere to be found."She's hidden." Luke could tell what Diana was thinking. "I found the best spot for her. It'll look like someone was peeping."While Luke

Hopelessness engulfed Diana. She closed her eyes, despaired.However, things didn't unfold the way she imagined. Instead, she felt a warm coat falling against her body.Diana's body trembled, and she quickly opened her eyes. Lo and behold, it was actually Oliver!She was pleasantly surprised to see him. "Oliver! How did you find me here?"Oliver turned around like a gentleman. At the same time, he instructed the female doctor who came along with him to untie Diana and check on her wounds."I came with Julian. He found you first," Oliver explained.Was Julian here too? Did he save her?Diana excitedly looked outside the factory unit. "Where is he?" She couldn't help but ask out loud.Oliver paused for a moment. "He's on the right."Although Diana's face was swollen and she looked a mess, she was still smiling. "Ju…"The next second, the words died on her lips and no sound came out of her mouth. Her smile immediately faded away. Julian was here, but it didn't look like he was

I was hitting that woman! I was hitting the woman who took the subway! I wanted to play with her!These sentences kept repeating in Julian's head like a terrible curse. He could nearly hear the bones cracking in his body. Without him realizing it, every cell in his body screamed for violence.He wanted nothing more than to commit murder right this moment."Let go of her!" Julian yelled, his tone hard. He was brimming with anger, and it was evident from the vicious look in his almond-shaped eyes. He looked as if he could tear Luke apart on the spot with ease.Luke was so scared that he went down on all fours. "Please forgive me, Mr. Fulcher! I really didn't lie to you. You can have a look at her phone. There's a video recording on it. I really didn't hurt her."Fortunately, Luke didn't set his sights on this gold digger. Otherwise, there would’ve been no hope for his survival!Luke knelt on the ground. He didn't even realize his forehead was bleeding. "Kayla! Tell Mr. Fulcher! Are
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 68
Initially, the situation was progressing precisely the way Kayla wanted it to.Her original plan was to let Julian see the video and photos. Consequently, he would find Diana repulsive after she was raped by another man.However, Kayla didn’t expect Julian to ask for her phone. "Here it is… Julian, if I didn't record the video back then, Luke wouldn't have let me go! Trust me, I had no intention of hurting Diana!"Kayla hadn't stopped crying the entire time. The fingerprints on her face from being slapped were still apparent. She looked incredibly pitiful.Yet for some unknown reason, Julian was not in the mood to console her.He was completely focused on the video. In fact, his facial expression was getting gloomier by the second as he kept on watching it.Kayla had a bad feeling about this. Julian was probably delaying the divorce not because of the debt between him and Diana. It also wasn't because of any other reason. Instead, it was purely because he was infatuated with Dian
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 69
However, Julian grabbed Luke by the collar before the latter could scurry away. After a second… Bang!Luke was flung to the ground with great force."Cough…!" The crushing pain made Luke cough out loud. Before he could lift his head and beg for mercy, Julian smashed the phone against his head.The screen cracked, and the shards almost pierced into Luke's eyes. The blood from the wound blurred his vision."How dare you…" Julian snarled through gritted teeth, his breathing ragged with rage. He looked like a complete madman. "How dare you touch her?!""I didn't!" Luke shouted, panicky. "Mr. Fulcher, I didn't touch her! I swear! I only touched the one in the subway…"No…He had it all wrong!Luke suddenly realized the 'she' Julian mentioned wasn't Kayla, the one who recorded the video. It was Diana, who he bumped into on the subway!The one who had landed him in prison!The thought made Luke tremble even more intensely. Despite wanting to explain himself, his mind was blank.He
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 70
At that moment, Diana heard what Luke had said.She was so nervous that her face turned pale. She clasped her hands together tightly, but that still didn't make her feel less nervous.She didn't want Julian to find out!Her baby… Her baby was the one thing she could cling onto.Diana never expected that the thing she said to protect herself was now being used by Luke to protect himself.Although she opened her mouth several times, no words came out. Her feet felt so heavy that she couldn't even move.She feared her baby would be taken from her by the Fulcher family after the divorce…When Oliver saw Diana's lowered head, he instantly understood why Diana chose to meet him at a milk tea store rather than a cafe the other day.She was actually pregnant with Julian's baby.Yet, Julian still wanted to file for divorce…A look of pain briefly appeared in Oliver's eyes. He wanted to speak up for her, but he heard Julian's voice in the empty factory unit. "Impossible."Julian sound
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 71
From the moment Julian barged in, the first thing he did was to hold Kayla. He was very protective of her, and he even escorted her outside to receive treatment. Ever since he started ignoring Diana, she had stopped feeling any pain.Now… It hurt even less.Diana could only feel a numb sensation spreading throughout her body. For some unknown reason, even her scalp felt numb.She once had a nightmare that Julian hurt the baby in her stomach; that he wanted to take the baby's life. When she woke up from the nightmare, she thought it was impossible. Now, it didn't seem impossible at all!However, Julian never intended to harm the embryo.Instead, he took direct measures to prevent Diana from ever getting pregnant.How was this different from the nightmare where he demanded someone else to get rid of the baby in her stomach?He didn't want the baby. He didn't love her, and he was merciless!Was there any point in telling him about Kayla wanting to hurt her?No.Diana knew Julian

“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
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1549
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
