Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 101 - Bab 110

"The party’s about to start," Kayla said, leaning into Kate when she saw the latter lost in thought. She deliberately pouted and said, "Aren't we going to the front yard, Mom?""Yes, let's go." Kate couldn't refuse Kayla, and she glared at Diana. "It's all because you refused to change clothes and delayed us! I don't know who you take after. You're so stubborn!"Kayla immediately rubbed Kate's temples when she saw how angry Kate was. Then, she turned to Diana. "It's Mom's birthday, Diana. Even if you don't like me, you should put on the dress so that us sisters can stand by her side and show everyone how blessed she is."Regardless of the reason Kayla came up with, Diana still repeated the same answer. "I won't change."Kate's face was already pale with anger. "Fine, I don't care! Just wear your dirty dress for all I care! It doesn't matter if others ridicule me. God knows how often I've gone through it because of you anyway!"As usual, Kate's accusations and obvious disgust tow

Sure enough! As long as Diana lived, Julian and Kate would be swayed sooner or later. Kayla was more certain than ever; Diana had to be dealt with today, once and for all!This was the first time Kate had given in to Diana even with Kayla around. Kayla's hand turned white with how hard she gripped her wine glass. She turned away in anger, but then saw Lucy waving at her from not far away to reassure her.Thinking that Lucy had probably reapplied the poison to Diana's glass, Kayla felt relieved. She watched as Kate filled Diana's glass again, but Diana still refused to drink. Kate also took Kayla's drink and poured out the wine, replacing it with juice. "You were also injured two days ago, and you need to apply medicine to your face. For safety's sake, you should both drink juice."Lucy saw the change from afar, and her face froze instantly. She frantically gestured to Kayla, but Kayla didn't turn around and couldn't see it. Kayla was anxious to get Diana to drink, so she downed he

Julian's cold voice and determined shoulders, coupled with the icy sensation she was experiencing as her knees were forced to the floor, left a single emotion burning brightly through Diana.Hate!She never imagined there would come a day when she would hate a single person so much, and that person was Julian Fulcher.She hated him for never loving her once, but giving her the illusion that he did. She hated him for treating her as Kayla's replacement, and the fact he would choose Kayla without fail between them.Diana would never admit to something she had never done, much less get down on her knees like an idiot. She would use all her power to protect her baby, and that was her determination as a mother!Julian seemed to sense her strong resentment and spared her a final glance before entering the ward. If all of this hadn't happened today, he would still be walking into Diana's ward...He would still be there to tuck her in and bring her food. If she were angry, he would just

Suffice to say, Oliver's words enlightened Diana greatly. That's right! Why should she care about what others think? All she had to do was continue to protect this child in her belly and keep it safe at all cost. That was her original intention; that was what strengthened her motivation.She couldn't continue letting her body be treated this way.Diana gave Oliver a grateful look. "Could you please make a phone call for me?""To whom?" Oliver immediately said, pulling out his phone without hesitation. "Just tell me the number, and I'll dial."Soon, the phone on Madam Fulcher's end rang. The old woman had just returned from a walk in the garden of the Fulcher Manor and was relaxing in the living room. Madam Fulcher immediately picked up the phone when she heard the maid calling out that she had received a call. She said excitedly, "Diana? Is that you? Are you not angry with me anymore?"The barrage of questions from the kind old woman stumped Diana. It was only when she process

After that exclamation, Madam Fulcher stepped forward and brought her cane down swiftly on Julian."Did you say that Kayla Winnington has returned?!"One hit."You've been married to Diana for three years, and you've been purely using her as a substitute?!"Two hits."Even if Diana was truly jealous of Kayla and wanted to do something to her, do you think an intelligent girl like Diana would do it in full view of everyone? Do you honestly think she doesn't have brains?!"Three hits.A strike of her cane accompanied each question, and Julian didn't dodge any. He never did when his grandmother hit him.But each time he was struck, Diana felt his pain as if it was her own. Even though she deeply hated his tyranny, distrust, and indifference just minutes ago, she still felt uneasy as she witnessed him getting beaten, to the extent that concern crept onto her face.Madam Fulcher glanced at Diana and instantly knew that she was right. Diana was a soft-hearted, kind, and affectionate
