Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 51
Diana’s long fringe blocked off the cynical gleam in her eyes. “Don’t worry. I won’t hurt your darling, and I won’t see her either.” ‘Once I get the money, I’ll take the baby away from this place of misery for good,’ Diana thought. What was the point of being humiliated time and time again? Julian swallowed past his constricted throat as he stared at her retreating figure and felt his heart clench tightly. Even he did not realize that his face had gone ashen, and that his breath was shaky. “Diana! Where are you going?” Diana didn’t respond to him, and she didn’t turn back. She simply walked forward silently, until she was through the main entrance of the villa. At that moment, Julian dared not chase after her. “Sir.” Noel noticed something wrong with Julian’s expression and tried to divert his attention. “We received a package in Madam’s name. Do you wish to take a look?” Julian snapped back to reality and said tiredly, “Continue having someone watch over Diana. Make

“What’s more, Kayla is outstanding. She’s such a good girl! When Diana knocked on our door three years ago, Kayla went abroad so that we wouldn’t trouble us even though she was suffering from stomach cancer. Can you really bear to hurt such a considerate daughter?” “I want to dote on both of them, but Diana’s going through a divorce right now.” Tears welled up in Kate’s eyes. “We owe Diana too much! Why can’t we keep both daughters by our side?” James stood up and embraced Kate, sighing. “I’m sure Kayla will agree to it, but what about Julian, who loves Kayla? He’d never allow Kayla to be hurt in any way. The moment Diana visited, he immediately got worried that we’d mistreat Kayla, since she’s our adopted daughter. He even called me and threatened to pull out of our project! What would our entire family survive on without that project? Do you want to go back to those days of suffering before you married me?” Kate didn’t want that! No way! Kate’s tears fell on James’s shirt. “W

Vans said that at times, the one who comes first, wins. Diana came after Kayla, and was therefore doomed to fail. The thought of that made Nina’s heart ache even more. “Stop trying to meet up with Kayla.” The only thing she could do now was to preserve Diana’s last shred of dignity. “It’d be terrible if she had any wicked plans to hurt the baby.” Diana nodded. “I know. I keep having this feeling that she isn’t as simple as Julian thinks she is.” “But of course!” Nina said in a huff, deliberately trying to divert Diana’s attention. “She only just came back from abroad and managed to make Julian fall head over heels for her. We’d be underestimating her if we thought she was simple-minded!” She looked at Diana with worry-filled eyes. “Whatever it is, just remember not to meet her if you can.” As long as Diana didn’t see Kayla’s face, even if she knew that Kayla was the reason Julian wanted to divorce her, the thought that she was a replacement would never enter her mind. “Don’

The agreement that James wanted her to sign obliged her to get a divorce right after getting the money from the Winnington family. “Julian’s even more anxious about it than you two.” Diana did not want to sign it because she did not want to erase that bit of kinship between her and Kate. If it were in the past, she might have agreed to it. But with the baby growing inside of her, she couldn’t help but feel sentimental toward Kate. It wasn’t easy being pregnant. Whatever happened, she was grateful to Kate for giving birth to her. “No!” James objected. “If you don’t sign this, what’ll we do if you trick us and refuse to divorce after you get your hands on the money? You could destroy Kayla’s happiness with your hands.” “Yes,” Kate added, “just take it that you’re giving us some assurance in return for the money we’re giving you. Will that work?” “Hah.” Diana couldn’t help but chuckle. “James has never acknowledged me as his daughter. Even you…” She didn’t feel much affectio

Diana found what Kate said entirely laughable. The Winnington family joined hands and forced her into a corner, and that was supposed to be good for her? Helping her? The outcome of their last meeting was still clear in her mind. This time, Diana was guarded against Kayla. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she asked calmly, “Will this be the same as what happened before, when Julian misunderstood and thought I was the one who took the initiative to meet up with Kayla with the intention of hurting her, so that he’d make life hell for me?” “Who do you think you are?! Are you worthy of President Fulcher’s time and energy?” James was getting annoyed. “Four days later, Kayla will pass you the first batch of money at Springlake Garden. It’ll be at three in the afternoon, so don’t be late.” Four days later? Diana’s heart sank. That coincided with the time Luke was released from prison. She had wanted to hide at home and avoid going out during that period, yet now, she had to head out
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 56
How could Julian be jealous of Diana and Oliver? He didn’t love Diana, and he wouldn’t care about who she is with. It was just that she couldn’t be with anyone else before they divorced; the Fulcher’s reputation cannot be sullied! “Didn’t you say we shouldn’t let Grandma find out about the divorce? You should be careful not to expose your relationship with Oliver.” She knew it. Julian had thousands of reasons for being upset about her sharing a meal with Oliver. And none of them had to do with him being jealous. Diana hid her broken heart behind a calm and composed face. She repeated herself, “Step aside.” This time, Julian didn’t try to stop her. Except that after Diana left, he called Vans to ask for Nina’s number. He called her and said, “I’ll leave Diana in your care in the next few days. She likes to eat the crispy toast and sandwiches that I make. I’ll deliver them to your doorstep every day. Please bring it in, and don’t ever tell her I’m the one who sent it.” Ni
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 57
Every day, Julian would hear the door opposite his unit close before coming out from his room and staring at Nina’s door. Diana was just on the other side of the door. Many times, he wanted to just push the door open and barge right in. Upon thinking about her open admission and questions, he would retract his outstretched hand. He could sense that he was crossing the line. What’s more, Diana had been staying at home most of the time the past few days and didn’t meet with Oliver at all. This delighted him. Another thing that made him especially happy was her admission that she was jealous. Thinking about it would always make his mood improve by leaps and bounds. He bought the apartment opposite Nina’s because he was worried that she would go to the Winnington family again and chance upon Kayla. He would deliver breakfast to Diana every morning because he remembered the look of disappointment in her eyes when she did not have his cooking for breakfast. Since she had gotten

“But at three in the evening, I have to go to Springlake Garden to meet Kayla.” Diana glanced at her watch and said apologetically, “We can’t be late.” “I know,” Nina agreed verbally, but her mind was busy coming up with ways to buy time and stop Diana from going to the meeting. If Kayla was going to such great lengths to meet Diana, it was surely ill-intentioned! What if Diana saw how similar they looked and collapsed? “No way.” If the meeting was inevitable, then Nina had a proposal of her own. “Diana, why don’t I accompany you in the afternoon? I don’t feel at ease with you going alone.” Diana immediately came to a realization. “I knew you wouldn’t make me go shopping with you on a workday for no reason!” Nina was the editor-in-chief and was outstanding in her work. Who would be able to upset her at work? “Please don’t worry about me,” Diana said to Nina. “What could happen to me in broad daylight? What’s more, I’m prepared. I bought a lot of personal defense items. Wh
