“Diana’s socials?” Vans was stunned. “Are you talking about you wearing a dress?”“Pfft…!” Julian spat out the tea in his mouth, a myriad of expressions crossing his face. His imposing aura loomed over Vans.At that moment, Vans knew he had stepped on Julian’s tail.He was about to explain himself when Julian said, “It’s fine. You’re not the only one who saw it, anyway.”The moment he said that, the screen in the private room flickered to a photo of him wearing a dress. It was precisely the photo Diana posted on her social media.Vans was flabbergasted. He even forgot to swallow the tea in his mouth. “What exactly is going on?”“Nothing,” Julian said. “Rather than being laughed at behind my back, I’d rather be the first to mock myself.”This was a tactic his company’s PR department often used. When you are self-derisive, others become disinterested in talking about you.Julian was right, but Vans’s face twisted into an awkward expression. “Uh,” he began, “but no one aside f
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 937
Simon dropped by today because he was provoked by that photo of Julian.The photo was going viral in Richburgh’s elite circles. However, people weren’t mocking Julian in secret, as he had originally expected.Someone had taken a video of Julian in the convenience store, saying that he was trying to make his wife happy. That, paired with the photo, earned Julian the coveted title of Richburgh’s most loving husband.Even more, someone dug up the scene of him kneeling before a crowd just so he could locate Diana when she was kidnapped. That, too, went viral in Richburgh.Soon, Julian became wildly talked about as an endlessly loving husband. He was even willing to wear a dress, despite his status and power.This hype incidentally gained the favor of almost all the women in Richburgh and indirectly pushed Fulcher Inc.’s stock prices to a new peak.Still, these weren’t all that important. What was most important was something else. “I want to repeat what happened three years ago.”

Seeing Simon’s face, fear crept up Kiki’s heart.She had always felt that Simon was far crazier than her. Still, this wasn’t exactly a bad thing for her.Kiki suppressed the ridiculous thought of Simon being Doreen’s father. She swallowed past her constricted throat in a bid to calm her wild thoughts down. “Then, now…”“I’ll definitely be able to contact that hypnotist,” Simon insisted.No one was better at hypnosis than that man. Despite Diana returning to a familiar environment and receiving so many triggers, she still couldn’t recall her part.She only fell in love with Julian once more.That thought pierced Simon’s heart like a thousand needles.How exactly was he inferior to Julian Fulcher?!It had been three years.He had watched over Diana for three years. It was nothing compared to the three months Julian spent with her!–Back at Collina Villa, things weren’t going smoothly for Noel.He found many hypnotists and brought them all to Diana. However, each attempt en

If he wanted her, he wouldn’t have let her give birth to the twins. Instead, he would’ve taken advantage of her amnesia and lied to her all the way to her deathbed.In fact, that was what Simon regretted the most. At that point, his heart softened. He was now struggling to find that hypnotist, so he could earn for himself another chance.Yet, he didn’t expect it to be so challenging.“How did you contact him in the past?” Kiki asked.Making Diana vanish from Richburgh again was her wish, too. She was just as anxious as Simon.“I didn’t exactly contact him,” Simon said. He pondered about it for a moment, and began to realize that something was wrong. Fear filled his eyes as he slowly turned to look at Kiki. He told her a frightening fact that he had neglected all this while. “He… He reached out to me first.”The problem was, why would someone so skilled reach out to Simon? That man even gave such a precise suggestion to hypnotize Diana.Kiki didn’t think much of it. “Let’s ju

It was morning. The sun had barely peeked out from the horizon when Diana opened her eyes. She opened the curtains by a crack to let some light in.She yawned, and stretched her limbs. Then, she went to prepare breakfast for Sean. She had just walked into the living room when she heard a voice at the door. “Diana.”The voice was cold and heavy, with a strong sense of aggression. If she paid close attention, she could sense the hidden warmth in it. She knew it was Julian the moment she heard his voice.At first, she thought he was here with Betty for breakfast. She immediately opened the door. “Bet…”Betty wasn’t outside the door. Only two men stood outside. One of them was Julian, and the other…was a stranger.Diana stepped aside to let them in. She asked Julian, “This is…?”Her gaze fell on Matt. He looked to be about 27 years old, but his fitted suit made him look older than his age. Diana could tell that the suit was made with expensive, superior fabric.It was rare to se

This was something she wanted to do so badly for a long time. Yet now, she found herself holding back.“Is this man really the one who hypnotized me three years ago?” she asked.So many hypnotists had visited her, but they all left defeated. Was this man really going to help her regain her memories?Julian could sense that Diana was slightly nervous. He could understand why.For someone who had lost her memories for three years, it was akin to losing over twenty years of her life. She needed time to pick up all the pieces of her past—all the sad, happy, and bitter moments of her life. “I was hasty,” Julian said.He didn’t want to force Diana. His dark eyes were crystal clear, like a blue sky with clouds. The look in his eyes could calm and soothe anyone. Yet at the same time, there was infinite darkness in them. That was Matt’s conclusion after spending an entire night with Julian in the car. He didn’t know if he and his master’s plan could still go through.And so, he said i
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 942
Seeing the look on her face, Julian stopped teasing her immediately.His heart was heavy. Recently, things between him and Diana had been lukewarm. They were neither close nor distant. Usually, they would only be together because of the twins.Betty once told him that she missed Mommy and Sean, and wanted to stay with them for a while. Thus, he sent Betty back.However, Julian didn’t expect that he couldn’t send Diana and Sean to kindergarten. With no other alternatives, he had to keep Betty by his side. That was the only way his family would still have a chance to be together.Now was a rare chance for him to send Sean to kindergarten with Diana. He could spend some time with her, too. After dropping Sean off at the kindergarten, Julian turned to Diana.“I gave serious thought to what you said—about me being autocratic and dictatorial,” he said sincerely. “I won’t do it again next time. Can you please consider being with me again?”Diana remained silent.Over this period

He began lowering his guard and told Diana, “You’re welcome.”He looked around him and added, “It’s rather dim here. It isn’t suitable for hypnosis. We need somewhere bright enough that can help one relax completely. Also…”He looked at Julian. “You can’t come along.”“Why not?” Julian asked.“Don’t ask so many questions. This is my rule for my hypnosis sessions,” he said solemnly. “If I can’t enter a state of hypnosis, I can’t help Ms. Winnington get back her memories.”Diana and Julian acceded to his request. “Okay.”Julian stood in the house. He watched as they went downstairs and disappeared.Noel immediately approached him. “Mr. Fulcher.”“Make sure our men follow them closely,” Julian instructed. “Don’t lose them!”Matt didn’t drive his car. Instead, he hailed a taxi and took the highway to a uniquely renovated café. There were private rooms within. He seemed very familiar with the place. “I want room number 302. I’ve reserved it with your boss.”Very soon, someone gu

“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 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
