Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 54
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
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 55
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

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
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 59
The feeling that someone was spying on her had returned! What made her feel even more helpless was that she couldn’t find anything wrong each time she turned her head back for a quick look. Was she really overthinking things? The agreed meeting time with Kayla was still an hour away. The weather was pleasant, and Diana began feeling sleepy. Her eyes slowly glazed over, and she gradually let her guard down. It was only when she heard footsteps that her eyes flew open keenly, and she saw a pair of green shoes before her. When she lifted her head, the man sat beside her, holding a knife against her back. “Don’t make a sound.” The man was Luke Pabian. She had been so careful to guard herself against him and even moved to Nina’s, yet she still found herself in his hands. She didn’t even have the chance to pull out any of the personal defense items she bought, and could only close her eyes resignedly. “Don’t hurt me.” The scene from that day on the subway flashed past her
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 60
The pain at her back forced Diana to follow in his footsteps. Luke appeared smug as he leaned closer to Diana. They looked just like a couple in an intimate embrace. Each time Diana dared to tilt sideways, Luke would press the dagger deeper into her back. Just an inch more, and the dagger would pierce right through her skin. Diana dared not make a careless move, but the moment Luke brought her away from his place, things would not look good for her. An idea popped into her mind. She pretended to casually touch her hair as she flung the earring that Kate had returned to her on the floor. The agreed time to meet Kayla was in half an hour. If Kayla saw the jade earrings, she would surely be able to tell that they weren’t ordinary earrings. What’s more, Kate would have worn them before. She would surely know that something was wrong, and might even be able to guess that she was in danger. In other words, in around half an hour’s time, someone might come to her rescue. Howev

Slap!Luke gave Diana a vicious slap to the face. "Stop looking at me like that!"He spat on the ground before taking his belt off. Then, he forcefully pinched Diana's chin and looked at her in a disgusting manner.Diana wasn't about to give in. She continued to stare at him fiercely, as if she was completely unafraid. Given the opportunity, she would skin him alive!Slap!He slapped her again.After being slapped twice, Diana's hair had turned into a mess. Her face was also swollen.However, the physical pain was no match for the rising fear in her heart. She never thought she would bump into someone like Luke in the subway.She also never expected that Oliver's concern would turn into reality.In fact, the reality was even more terrifying than what he feared.Diana began to doubt herself… She shouldn't have held onto her so-called pride, and she shouldn't have spent fifteen million dollars so rashly. More importantly, she shouldn't have genuinely thought of herself as Julia
