Diana urged him, "You threw paint at her last time, and didn't handle the aftermath properly. You should take this chance to apologize and check on her."Diana was quite worried about Cecilia's well-being. Given what happened when the studio's second floor was destroyed, her mental state wasn’t normal. The words she had written in red paint were especially frightening. The memory still made Diana shudder.However, Diana didn't tell Julian about Cecilia's graffiti, the one cursing her to die. If she did, he would refuse to go to the Jarvises."But you're going to the Stewarts...""It's fine," Diana assured. "I'll have your bodyguards accompany me. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, they can protect me."Julian still objected. "No. I'll go with you to meet Shiloh first, and then I'll go to the Jarvises.""That's not a good idea," Diana said. "Did you forget that you used your playboy tactic to trick Kiki? What if she's at home, too? If she sees you, she might get furious an

"His person doesn't belong to you, either! You'll only be able to embrace a better life if you let go of him!" Shiloh's tears flowed uncontrollably. "Kiki, let it go. I'm your father. My arms are always open for you. Family will always be your support. We can raise Doreen well on our own. You don't need Julian to be her father for her to grow up well.""But everyone will look down on me." Kiki's voice quivered, and she started to cry. "Dad, don't you understand..."Her persistence with Julian, in essence, was more about his social status. Over the years, she had been a star in the elite social circle. Only by marrying Julian and becoming a family with him and Doreen could Kiki avoid becoming a subject of mockery for having a child out of wedlock."But what about now?" Shiloh understood everything. He always did. However, he had been reluctant to shatter his daughter's illusions. "You love, but you can't have him. You want him, but you can't obtain him. Doesn’t that make you
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 961
Right now, the only thing Shiloh could do was pray that Diana was safe and sound.He sent someone to bring a new phone to him. He turned to look determinedly at Kiki, claiming, “I’ll call the police and report what you did today!”-It was silent on the other side of the phone call.Diana looked at her phone screen, and saw that the call had been cut off. The thought of Shiloh’s words made her brows twitch.Thankfully…She was already at the end of Winding Highway. According to Shiloh, she would be safe once she exited this winding road.Diana subconsciously gripped the hem of her shirt.She suddenly regretted not letting Julian come with her. At a moment like this, it was probably better to have him around.“Drive faster,” she urged the driver.The driver was already driving at top speed. “This road isn’t suitable for speeding. This is the fastest I can go.”Diana subconsciously looked behind her through the back window.A car had appeared right behind them, and was tailin
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 962
However, Diana didn’t know how to discern the truthfulness of his words. She tried to probe him. “Quit lying to me! You’re the one Kiki sent to kill me!”Simon looked at her in shock. “How could you think that of me?”He loved her so much. He would never hurt her!“Why can’t I?” Diana chuckled. “Don’t forget, Simon. Just yesterday, you tried to make me take that poisonous pill.”She clenched her fists, and took a deep breath. “I told you not to come looking for me ever again. I will never trust you.”With that, she instructed one of the bodyguards to drag Simon away as she sat in their car.Since she couldn’t tell whether Simon was telling the truth or not, she would just take his words with a pinch of salt.She would take his suggestion of taking another car.But not his car.“Let’s go.” She looked coldly through the window, at the man whom she used to treat as a good friend. She instructed the bodyguard to drive ahead. “It won’t be good if we’re late.”The fact that Shiloh
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 963
Diana hurriedly stepped out of the car, allowing the driver to check the situation and change the tire.An uneasy feeling arose in her chest once more, and she followed the bodyguard that Julian sent closely.Simon followed her closely, too. The nearer he drew, the more uneasy Diana felt.She recalled the time he mistakenly thought she had taken the pill. He had said he wanted to take her away from her twins and Julian, and remove all her memories once again so they could start a new family.Her hair stood on end as she mumbled, “Simon…”She pushed him away gently. “Don’t lean so close to me.”They were in fact a shoulder’s width apart from each other. What’s more, there was a bodyguard standing in between them.Diana was high-strung.She was worried Simon might do something unexpected, and make her lose her memories once again.The feeling of being unable to remember anything was terrible.She once…had two children, and it was something she had to find out from other people.
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 964
At the Jarvis family’s residence, Julian had been waiting in the living room for a while.He was rather distracted when he appeared before them. The uneasy feeling lurking in his heart was at its peak.He couldn’t be calm when he thought about things on Diana’s end. He was about to call her to ask about the situation, when Sue walked toward him. Sorrow was etched on her face. When she saw Julian, a mix of hatred and hope filled her eyes. She cried, “Mr. Fulcher, I’m begging you!”Before she went further, she bowed at Julian.He had no choice but to keep his phone in his pocket for the time being.He helped Sue to her feet, and asked, “Why exactly did you call me here today? Where is Cecilia?”“She…” The mention of Cecilia deepened the sorrow on Sue’s face. “You’d better take a look upstairs.”A bad feeling rose in Julian’s chest. “Where is she?”“On the second floor.” Sue composed herself before going on, “Come with me.”As they walked, Julian noticed pink diamonds scattered

“I know I did wrong.”He had come here today to apologize. However, he didn’t expect the issue to impact Cecilia so severely. It was even more severe than how Diana had described it to him. Julian truly felt regretful. “I know there’s no point in my apology right now. Can you let me in and see her first?” He could only decide on how to help her upon confirming her condition.“Watch out for the diamonds at your feet,” Sue reminded.Those were Cecilia’s darlings. She separated the diamonds one by one—just like how her heart had broken into pieces, one by one.Sue couldn’t hold back her tears, which fell down her cheeks. She gently wiped them away. “Cecilia treasures these diamonds very much. She said they make up the path that will lead you to her. No one’s allowed to touch them.”Julian felt even more awful when he heard what Sue said. An action of his, so minor, turned out to have such a major impact on a lady.He nodded, and avoided stepping on the pink diamonds. Then, h

“Gone mad?” Julian looked at Sue in shock. He felt as if someone had hit him over the head with a brick. “How could Cecilia have gone mad?!”Did it have something to do with him splashing paint at her?Sue heard his question, but didn’t reply to him. Her eyes turned cold as she looked at Julian. “Mr. Fulcher, you are a father with a daughter. I suppose you can empathize with how I feel right now.”In fact, it took extreme self-control for her to still be able to talk properly with Julian. If it were other people, they would’ve charged forward and beat him up to a bloody pulp.Of course Cecilia becoming like this had something to do with him splashing paint at her!Though, Cecilia’s personal factors played a part as well. For example, her lack of resilience, close-mindedness, and obsessiveness. Despite that, all these factors couldn’t compare to the fact that Julian first got himself involved with Cecilia!Julian had expressed his liking toward her, then suddenly splashed pa

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?”

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
