Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 651
Lucy heard that everyone in Richburgh had silently acknowledged Diana as a young lady of the Winnington family.She even heard that Master Winnington had personally gone looking for Julian in hopes that Diana would return to the Winnington family and acknowledge her position as an heiress.At that, Julian simply said, “What makes you think that Diana wants to be part of the Winningtons?”His simple statement left the old man in disgrace. From then on, he dared not bring the matter up again or visit Diana. This incident added to Diana’s legend in Richburgh. Suddenly, thousands of people wanted to curry favor with her. Kayla, on the other hand, was stuck in jail. She was stuck there, in endless sorrow and pain.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had given birth to Diana, or for the noodles, Kate wouldn’t even have the chance to come into the villa’s porch.Kate was shocked by the cold look on Diana’s face, which clearly told of the fact that Diana had no intention whatsoever to treat her like a mother. Fury tainted her face red.She didn’t even feel so cold anymore. Her head buzzed as she screamed, “What do you know? Your father and I are suffering right now, cowering in that lousy place and eating terrible food! Doesn’t your heart ache one bit for us?”“Eating terrible food?” Diana recalled her old memories. Her tone was gentle despite the harsh words she was about to say. “I’m sure that food still tastes great. After all, it was my staple food when I was young. Now that I’m with Julian, he’s not used to eating such food and prefers fancier delicacies and feasts. Even his vegetables are flown directly from Switzerland. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I rather miss the taste of that food

Impossible. That would never happen.Diana smiled. “Pity I am as stubborn as you are.”The difference was that Kate protected her own pride and dignity, whereas Diana protected her own feelings.She no longer wanted to fall into the trap of the so-called care of her heartless parents and ended up disappointed once more.“Nonsense!” Kate saw Diana calling for security to shut the door, blocking her out of the villa and started panicking. “I’ve never thought that way before! I love and dote on both you and Kayla!” Both of them were her children!One was her biological child, and the other was adopted.She cared for both of them. Life just happened to be too tough right now, and she did not have the luxury to think about them—that’s all!Yet, Diana clearly didn’t want to hear her explain herself any further. “Ever since James and Kayla were in cahoots to dig up the grave of my babies, and you chose to stand on their side even after knowing the truth, I no longer consider you my m

“Everything in that rented apartment has disappeared.” Noel found it strange as well. “I tried to ask around with the neighbors, and they said that a luxury car drove by to pick up the couple.”Julian’s brows furrowed. “A luxury car?” The Winnington family was no longer receptive to James.Why would there be a luxury car coming to fetch them? Where did the car bring them to?“Yes,” Noel replied. “Apparently, they were exceptionally happy when they left, and they flung all their belongings into the trash can as if they were about to enjoy a good life in the days ahead.”Julian found it strange. “Did you check the car plate number?”“No, I didn’t,” Noel said. “Their apartment was in an old estate that didn’t even have traffic lights, not to mention surveillance cameras. No trace of the car was left behind.”Things seemed rather suspicious, and Julian tasked Noel to investigate things further. But memories of Kate insulting and scolding Diana outside the villa yesterday, which u

“The height you’ve risen to will be the height from which you fall in the future. It only makes sense for her to earn as much moolah as she can while she’s at the peak of her career.”Diana begged to differ.She was sure Fanny wasn’t one to care so much about money, neither was the latter in need of money.So why was Fanny working so hard right now?“Maybe she just enjoys being a celebrity.” Diana harbored a guess as she imagined Fanny’s beautiful face. “She’s a born star, after all.”Nina didn’t agree. “You thought wrong.”She updated Diana on the latest news. “The paparazzi exposed that Fanny’s in dire need of money right now. Aside from high-end product advertisements and good scripts, she even began exposing herself to unknown products and lousy web dramas for the sake of some cash. As long as the remuneration’s good, she’ll never fail to be there for it.”Diana choked on Nina’s words.How did things turn out like that? The A-list celebrity, who was always laid-back and l

“I fell in love with him first, and I met him first. Most of all, we got into a relationship first…”And yet, she wasn’t the woman who got engaged with Vans.Nina was about to say something more, but very soon, she composed herself and stopped talking about things between her and Vans. Diana wanted to pursue things further, but upon sensing that Nina wasn’t willing to talk about it anymore, she didn’t push it.Nina went on, “Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you that Oliver’s no longer in the emergency room.”“Has he been promoted?”Did he become busier because of a promotion?“How could any other department be busier than the ER?” Because of Vans, Nina gained a better understanding of things in the hospital. “That’s the most tiring department in the entire hospital! You’re right that he’s been promoted, but actually, it’s almost equivalent to resigning. He only comes to the hospital for half a day each week at the highest-level specialist clinic, and he only does consultations for thr

However, she recovered quickly. “No wonder Oliver likes you.”Diana noticed that Fanny wasn’t referring to him with as much affection as before.“You’re really likable.” Fanny had worked so hard for so many days and slogged for so many years, yet no one had ever told her not to work herself so hard. Alas, Diana’s offer wasn’t enough to feed her or solve her problems.Fanny thought that the only way to help Oliver at his critical juncture was to become very rich and famous. That way, he could do whatever he wanted instead of being forced to take over the Channing family’s business.To a certain extent, she, Oliver, and Diana had become strangers because of their family issues.However, Fanny couldn’t bear looking at Diana’s pure and untainted eyes any longer. She couldn’t bear hiding that she was earning money so Oliver would have the strength and power to fight Julian. Fanny eventually said, “Talk more with Oliver when you have the time.”Diana felt rather awkward at the ment

Julian replied straightforwardly, “My wife.”She was no ordinary person indeed. She was the love of his life!Noel was silenced by Julian’s answer, and asked no further questions.Julian, on the other hand, offered further information. “I put on a disguise and played a game with her, which is why I didn’t answer her call and texted her instead.”That alone was worth him halting a meeting with the senior executives—just so he could send a text?!Noel couldn’t figure out what Julian meant by “putting on a disguise,” but even if he didn’t understand what his boss meant, he had no choice but to agree. He could sense that Julian was waiting for a response from him, so he chuckled dryly a few times, put his hands together, and said in a tone that was eager to please, “Wow, sir! You must be in a good mood to play such games with your wife.”“Bootlicker, you are,” Julian teased. By the time Julian returned home, Diana had gotten changed and was seated in the living room as she waited

“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
