"Is Simon better looking than me?" When Kiki heard Julian's absurd question, she shook her head without hesitation and said, "No..."Even though Julian was leaner and sharper now, Kiki still couldn't take her eyes off him."Is Simon richer than me?" "That's impossible!"The wealth of Fulcher Inc. was unparalleled. "Does Simon have more power than me?" "That's also impossible..." "If he's not better than me in any way, why would Diana take such a big risk and elope with him while carrying our unborn children?!" Julian's logic was crystal clear. Unknowingly, Kiki fell into the trap he had woven and was oblivious to it. By the time she realized it, it was too late. She broke out in a sweat, her mind spinning rapidly. Panicked, she decided to weave an even bigger lie. "B-Because her unborn child is Simon's! They say it's an elopement, but they're trying to escape with their lives! Why else would she fake her death?" Then, Kiki sighed. "If she didn't elope with Simon wi

Soon, Noel confirmed that Diana had indeed stayed at the Channing family's residence and met up with Simon instead of Oliver.Julian looked at the results of Noel's investigation and remained silent for a long time. He didn't know when Diana had established this connection with Simon. Even more puzzling was why she chose Simon over him.He made a copy of the video from Kiki's phone and watched it repeatedly. It wasn't until he felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards Diana's features, as if they were falling apart, that he finally stopped. Two days had passed since then. When Julian emerged from his study, his face was devoid of color—except for his eyes, which were suddenly burning with a determined fire."Send people to find Diana," he instructed Noel. "Even if you have to search every corner of the earth! Find her!" He wanted to ask her in person why she had betrayed him. He would carry a strong resentment and hatred for the rest of his life! He would continue until he fou
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 753
Diana could freely admit to herself that she would never have such a mindset. She wondered if Sean inherited his father's personality, but when she saw her own plump figure weighing over a hundred and fifty pounds in the mirror, she stopped thinking about it. Simon had said that her past was very painful, so she decided not to try hard to remember. Anyway, it would give her a major headache every time she made an effort. Over time, it no longer mattered who the father of her children was."Simon," Diana said as she put the call on speaker. There was a smile on her lips as she continued, "Could you come over?"On the other end, she could hear hurried footsteps when the man heard the cries. "Is Betty crying? Don't cry, Betty! I'm coming right away! I'll make everything that makes you sad go away, okay?"Betty liked Simon the most. Diana couldn't care for both children alone when they were young. Simon had always helped her with the kids, so they were very dependent on him. Betty
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 754
Without hesitation, Simon replied firmly, "I want to."He had been thinking about it for quite a while now. In the past, he had thought about how satisfying it would be to take away the woman Julian loved. It would be great to strip Diana of her memories, make Julian lose his love forever, and sever the connection between the couple permanently. Even later on, while holding the children in his arms, he had thought about taking everything that belonged to Julian. He would make Julian experience the taste of betrayal and ensure that the children, like Simon, would never be reunited with their family. That would be even better!But then, at some point, everything started to change. He began to hope Diana would never succeed in losing weight and that she would never be found by Julian, who had nearly turned the entire country upside down searching for her. Even more so, he hoped that Julian's children would call him "Daddy." He truly hoped Diana could become his wife. It had no
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 755
Diana looked so different now that even if she were to pass by Julian, Simon was sure Julian wouldn't be able to recognize her. Otherwise, Julian wouldn't have spent three years searching without any news of her. His memory of her was stuck to how she had looked three years ago, but pregnancy and childbirth had changed Diana so much. And Diana... She wouldn't recognize Julian either. She was deeply hypnotized, and there was no possibility of memory recovery. With those thoughts in mind, it seemed it wasn't impossible for them to return to Richburgh.As long as Simon paid more attention, there shouldn't be a big problem. For safety's sake, he decided to return ahead by himself and eliminate all threats from whatever Julian could possibly throw at him before bringing Diana over. However, Betty opposed his plans. "No, I want Uncle Simon!" After waking up, she clung to Simon's neck and wouldn't let go. "I want Uncle Simon!" Simon told Diana not to worry and took Betty to
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 756
There were too many people here, and Betty's little heart pounded with fear. Why wasn't her uncle picking her up or holding her? She looked up with her cute little face, her big, wet eyes fixed on Julian. After using her chubby hand to wipe away her tears, she stared at Julian for a few seconds before finally realizing that the man wasn't Simon.She had grabbed the wrong hand and mistook the person! Betty burst into tears again. "Sob, sob..."She stood there and looked around helplessly while wailing, "Mommy... Sob, sob... Uncle... Sob...""Mr. Fulcher," the airport staff in charge greeted. Their hearts almost stopped in their chest as they watched the scene unfold before him, and they quickly said, "We're very sorry!"They were about to carry Betty away, who was blocking Julian's path, but Julian's gaze swept over them, causing them to freeze in place. To the astonishment of onlookers, the usually cold and aloof CEO knelt down in front of a cute little girl and said, "Shh,
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 757
Betty said that her daddy's name was Simon. In an instant, Julian's face turned red from anger.For the past three years, he had expanded all his effort to search for Diana. Yet, he always held onto a glimmer of hope. Hope that what happened back then was a malicious lie spread by Kiki. Hope that Diana hadn't betrayed him, hadn't chosen to be with Simon and leave him. But now... This little girl, who looked so much like Diana, said her father's name was Simon.The girl had the same features as Diana and a familiar name. What else was there to be uncertain about her heritage?Something he had resisted all along had finally become a reality. Julian's demeanor grew even colder. He turned to Noel and ordered, "Take a picture of this little girl and quickly circulate it throughout the airport…no! Throughout the world's media! Say that she got separated from someone and Julian Fulcher found her. Tell her parents to come immediately when they see it!"He refused to believe tha

This man was really strange! Betty scrutinized him a little longer before feeling certain of her assumption. "You care about me, mister." She wiped away Julian's tears with her chubby little hands, causing him to widen his eyes in surprise and stare at her. He actually shed tears for Diana! And in front of the child she had with another man, at that! Julian felt extremely embarrassed, so he immediately got up and left Betty's room. But the child liked him very much, so she clung to his thigh tightly like a koala.Julian wanted to kick her away, but held back when he saw her chubby little face. Betty didn't know anything. She stared at him with wide, unblinking eyes and asked, "When will my daddy come to pick me up?" She didn't want to leave with Simon. She wanted to stay here forever. Let this strange man who cried with her be her daddy instead!However, she wasn't familiar with him yet. Her mother had told her to be polite to unfamiliar people. Being polite meant calli

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.

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?”

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
