Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 38
"Fifteen million dollars." Diana retracted her hand. She didn't want to touch the cup. "I want fifteen million dollars," she repeated frankly.Kate stared at her in disbelief. "Are you mad?"Diana was asking for fifteen million as if it was an insignificant amount. "Do you think the Winningtons owns a bank?!"How was Kate supposed to fork out so much money?"You owe me this much." Diana began reciting the speech she prepared before coming here. "You have two days to think about it. Discuss this thoroughly with James."Kate was still willing to speak to Diana, but James practically treated Diana as if she was non-existent. In fact, to him, she was worse than trash out on the street.Hence, Diana was sensible enough not to address James as her father."What about your divorce with Julian?" Kate asked."If you want to find out more from me, answer my earlier question first," Diana said.Diana felt as if the entire world was against her whenever that woman was brought up. It had b

People she met on the way would greet her. “Hello, Miss.”“Hi, Miss.”Diana looked at her mother, who kept her head down and was walking in front of Diana, and felt a slight sense of belonging. Whenever a maid walked by, Diana would smile in acknowledgment.However, those maids seemed a little surprised. They evidently walked faster after seeing her nod in their direction.Diana didn't think much of it. Although this wasn't her first time coming to Winnington Mansion, it was the first time she'd stayed here without getting into an argument. This feeling of warmth didn't come easy. And so, Diana appreciated it a lot.After walking through a 30-foot-long corridor, Diana and Kate finally arrived in the dining room. There was a large, round table in the dining room. It looked much more suitable for a big family than the long table in the Fulcher family's dining room."Have a seat." Kate might not have a lot to say, but she no longer seemed as angry as before. Diana could sense Kate w

Kate sighed in a barely noticeable manner. She slowly let go of Diana's hands. "Alright. It's just the two of us anyway. Three main dishes and a soup will do."Kate didn't even turn around to ask Diana what she would like to eat.Diana was a little disappointed by that, but she also knew that this outcome was already good enough, and it didn't come easy. She wasn't about to ask for more.If Kate were willing to accept her, there would be many more occasions like this in the future. Diana was in no rush.After Lucy's interruption, neither of them spoke again.Kate seemed a little distracted. After the meal, Lucy asked a maid to bring the desserts over. Only then did Kate seem a little more energetic. "Serve everything."The maid was very thoughtful. Not only did she place the plate in front of Diana, but she also cut everything into small pieces before handing Diana her cutlery."Ms. Kayla, this is your favorite chestnut cake," the maid said.Ms. Kayla?Did the maid think she w

Diana looked at Kate somewhat cautiously. "Should the opportunity arise, would you let us meet each other? I'd like to learn from her."Kate tightened her grip on her sleeve. She ignored Diana's question. Instead, she suddenly asked Diana the same question she asked before they entered the dining room. "Why do you want to find out about Julian's date when he came over and who he threw the party for in the Fulcher Manor?"Kate continued speaking before Diana could even say a word. "Don't blame me for being too naggy, but Julian is a powerful man. Ever since he became the chairman of Fulcher Inc., nobody in Richburgh has been able to lay a finger on the Fulchers. He isn't someone you can afford to mess with. You should just do as he says."It sounded like Kate was genuinely concerned.Diana nodded. "I know. I've never thought of going against him."Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to get a divorce. More importantly, she wouldn't have come to the Winnington family for money to rep

Why should Diana let Julian have his way?However, the post had already been published on her social media feed. It was too late to delete it now. After much thinking, she decided to block him.That way, he would never be able to see her posts whenever she published any in the future.After blocking Julian, Diana realized there was a friend request pending her approval.The remark written on the friend request was 'Oliver Channing'.Diana was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to approve the request. [Hi, it's nice to hear from you. Did something happen at the police station?] she asked.[Hey, it's Oliver. I added you on Instagram after getting your contact info from the police. I hope that’s alright.] Oliver's reply was unhurried, and his typing speed was as impressive as the way he carried himself in person.It appeared he had reached out to her with a reason. That explained why the two of them could still get in touch.Diana quickly replied, [It's nice to he
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 43
Diana was a little surprised. She pondered Julian’s words and entertained the thought of asking Oliver if he worked at Channing Inc. Why was he unemployed?However, after some thought, it dawned on her that they didn't know each other very well. In fact, this question was far too personal. She decided not to probe further. Instead, she checked the GPS and chose a milk tea store nearby. "Let's meet here."Although this place was much more chaotic than a coffee shop, Diana had to avoid beverages like coffee for the sake of her baby.An hour later, Oliver finally showed up."Sorry I'm late." He pulled a chair out and sat down. "It was further than I thought."Diana looked up. "Where did you come from?""The westside of the city.""Why didn't you say so earlier? This place is on the opposite side of where you were at. I should've picked somewhere in the middle," Diana said."It's fine," Oliver called for the waiter. He ordered a milk tea for Diana and a cold beverage for himself. O

Oliver looked at the sky. He then packed up the documents and brought her outside. "What do you feel like having?""It's on me. You get to choose," Diana said.Oliver accepted the offer. "I know a good place around here. Let's go there."Diana quickly followed him. While they were ordering, she cursed at capitalism. Yet, she still couldn't figure out why rich folks like him needed to spend so much money on food.Now that she had a creditor, her bank account was already in the red. As a result, she was very careful when ordering. Apart from the signature dish she ordered for Oliver, she picked all the cheapest items for herself.To her surprise, Oliver had already paid for the meal when she went to pay."Didn't I say this meal was on me?" Diana frowned. "I feel bad now that you've done this.""Can you buy me some calabash candy?" Oliver suddenly asked while pointing at a roadside stall."Huh?"Oliver sounded embarrassed. "I've always been curious how they tasted, but I'd always
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 45
Julian would make Diana understand that not every man was capable of giving her a black credit card that didn't come with a credit limit!He hoped she would understand this, especially after borrowing fifteen million and getting turned down by people around her…Upon recalling how coldly Diana had treated him in the morning, he still felt unsettled. "Send me the pictures first."After several glances, Julian tossed the pictures of them buying sticky candy together aside. "Let's make this quick! Lower the offer by three percentage points. If he refuses, I'll find a way to make him go bankrupt!" Julian uttered through gritted teeth."Alright, sir," Noel replied.Compared to the past few days, Diana seemed to have a lucky charm on her today. Not only did she have some surprising gains from the Winnington family, but she also received information related to Luke from Oliver. She was able to protect herself better. In fact, she even succeeded in hailing a taxi within a second in Richbu
