Chapter 671

Even if Julian desperately wanted to reach out and hold Diana, to embrace her tightly and greedily breathe in every bit of her presence…he couldn't. It wasn't because he feared the Pabian family, or anyone else. It was because...

Moreover, they seemed to differ from the script of the one responsible for orchestrating this act from behind the scenes.As for whether Oliver was the mastermind behind it all, Julian couldn't rely solely on speculation.He needed further confirmation. If it really was Oliver, and the man had become so deranged as to target Diana... Julian's eyes narrowed slightly as a dangerous aura poured out around him

Just by looking at the invitation card, anyone could tell that the host of the banquet was either rich or powerful. Diana stared intently at Nina with her beautiful eyes.Sure enough, Nina quickly succumbed to Diana's gaze. "Forget it. This banquet is organized by that woman who got engaged to Vans." She bit her lip and lowered her head. Her voice grew smaller as she said, "I just want to see what she looks like..."She didn't dare to go alone, so she wanted to drag Diana along. Before they even set off, Diana had already seen through the ulterior motives behind this banquet."I wonder... Who was it who just told me to tell everyone to buzz off?" Diana teased Nina with raised eyebrows. "And here you are, still thinking about Vans?" Diana snorted. "It’s okay for you to think about your lover, but I'm not allowed to think about my ex-husband? That's unfair to me."Her appearance was too charming. Her eyes seemed to speak, every movement she made created ripples. She exuded a

However, Noel dared not pry the specific details as to what had changed from last night and led to Julian’s blissful mood. He simply waited quietly until Julian had everything prepared, and silently brought the car out.Seeing that Julian's joyful expression remained, Noel took the opportunity to bring it up. "Sir…?""Hmm?""Yesterday, the madam said-"Julian corrected him stubbornly, "My beloved."Noel seemed taken aback, and couldn't figure out a proper reply.Julian, amused, glanced at him. "And? What did she say?""Nothing." As soon as this topic came up, a wide smile spread across Noel's face. "She just mentioned that you should give me a day of paid leave."He had been working as Julian's assistant for so many years, and had never really taken a break. When Diana brought up this matter, he was quite tempted."You mean to say that even when she’s angry with me after leaving the Pabian family's residence last night, she still thought about asking for a paid day off for y

Diana and Nina never expected Lina to say such things in front of everyone, nor did they anticipate her starting a fight with them in such a bold manner.What's more, it never crossed their mind that the invitation would turn out to be fake.

Diana started to panic. She grabbed the corner of the suit, and hurried to move. Yet Julian held on to it even more tightly, wrapping both of them in a tight embrace.Diana didn’t understand why he was acting this way. “Julian!”She looked at him, and her voice was trembling as she stammered, “Nina…Nina’s scalp got torn off! She needs me right now! I have to…”She had to protect Nina!Only by doing that would make her feel better. Julian understood where she was coming from. Despite that, he said quietly, “She doesn’t need you now, Diana. She needs Vans.”Diana looked like she was struck by something.

He was such a proud man. He probably had never felt such indignation in his entire life.Yet, he had to receive a slap from her in public.“How could I ever be angry with you?” Julian was in high spirits. “As long as you’re not upset with me, I’m fine with you slapping me as much as you wish. The circumstances forced me to say those awful things to you yesterday, and…” “I know,” Diana cut him off. “Clifford has a hold over you. You can’t show him that we have a good relationship. Not only would I be in danger, but it’d also add more burden to you.”Julian was shocked to hear it. “Where in the world did you get that from?”Diana grinned cheekily. “I guessed correctly, didn’t I? The moment Simon invited me to see the Pabians, I knew what was on their mind. Since they don’t intend to harm me and Clifford has no desire to avenge his son, they’re definitely trying to sound me out. “But what impact and threat would I, a woman who owns a tiny studio, pose?“They just wanted to gaug

Chapter 678

Only by making a move on Diana would Oliver stand a chance of effectively distracting Julian.He made a move on Fulcher Inc.’s share prices when Diana was brought to the Pabians.Oliver assumed that with Julian’s attention split in many different directions, the latter wouldn’t be able to do much about the spies lurking within Fulcher Inc.

From then on, he would show no mercy to the Channing family.Just then, Noel called him. “Sir.”There was no need for Julian to hide his relationship with Diana right now. He had no fear of others seeing them stand next to each other like this. With that in mind, he hung his suit over his arm and tidied up Diana’s slightly tousled hair.

Chapter 680

For Diana to be able to make Julian go all out in getting hold of evidence, and then finally making a decisive move on the Channing and the Pabian families…It clearly showed his deep concern regarding her feelings for him. In fact, he was worried she couldn’t accept his explanation, and wouldn’t believe how Oliver had changed into someone so conniving. He was worried there would be a chasm in his relationship with her, that Oliver or Clifford might assume they have a hold over him by hurting her.He even went out of his way to put up an act with her at the Pabian family’s residence, as if they were having a big fight.The mighty Julian Fulcher, of all people, set aside his pride to act for the garbage that was Clifford—all for Diana’s sake.It was completely unlike his usual self. “It’s a pity he doesn’t go into acting.” Kenneth smiled as he regarded Oliver. “Don’t you agree?”But wasn’t life nothing but a huge act?Kenneth looked at Oliver slumped over dejectedly, and prodd
