Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 571 - Bab 580

Diana’s traces were completely erased the very moment she left the studio. Julian's heart raced as he stared at Kayla, his gaze bearing the smallest hint of patience. James, on the other hand, was utterly terrified by the current situation.Kayla had spoken so confidently before, saying she would defeat Diana and come out on top. Never in James’s wildest dreams did he imagine she would achieve it by preventing Diana from participating and threatening Julian!He never once entertained the notion that threats would work for Julian to marry Kayla.Did she forget just who Julian was?!James wanted to bury his head into the ground and not be discovered by Julian.Yet, he didn't think Kayla would actually call out to him."Daddy," she said cheerfully, as if she hadn’t just narrowly escaped being killed in cold blood by Julian. "Julian promised to marry me!"James dared not say much, much less utter a single word. He tugged on Kayla's sleeve nervously as he stole a quick glance at Ju

"Grandma!" Diana wanted to touch Madam Fulcher to see what was wrong, but then she realized that she didn't even have the strength to turn her head."S-Sir..." She strained to look at the chauffeur, only to see a sinister look and a sly smile on his face. Her heart beat wildly in her chest, but at this point, no amount of vigilance would help her escape her current situation.She could only grip Madam Fulcher's hand tightly in the last second before losing consciousness. "We can't pry this woman's hand apart!" In her dazed state, Diana could hear someone shouting loudly in her ear. There was also another trying to pry her hand away repeatedly, but she held onto Madam Fulcher without budging an inch.She absolutely couldn't let go!Not only that, but she also needed to muster all her strength and effort to open her eyes as quickly as possible.It wasn't until two hours later that she regained some of her consciousness."Grandma..." The first words Diana uttered upon waking

"This time, I won't allow anything to interfere with my marriage to Kayla!" Julian exclaimed, his words echoing loudly in Diana's ears.His words were like a hammer ramming ruthlessly against Diana's heart, causing a slight wavering deep in her heart containing her desire to start over. The doubts she had harbored about his words just moments ago shattered.Diana could only hear the roaring of blood in her ears as she felt her heart gradually break into tiny pieces once again.She shouldn't have...believed the look in his eyes...After all, Julian was the best at deceiving people."So," she took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and her grip on Madam Fulcher's hand trembled as she hissed, "You’d disregard Grandma's safety for Kayla's sake?"To confine them here in exchange for the peace of Kayla's wedding must mean that Julian truly loved her.His love for her was genuine.Julian's expression twisted with pain at each word he was forced to say. "Yes." He had achieved such he

Clenching his teeth, Julian then uttered the cruel words, "But I don't love you, Diana. I never did." 'What were you thinking, Diana? He never loved you! That's why a familiar driver brought me out of the villa. That's why he made sure I never made it to the exhibition to put pressure on Kayla. That's why he trampled all over my expectations of winning the exhibition! That's why he happily invested a hundred million in my business... It was all to make Kayla happy—not me!'Even yesterday, when he pretended to be jealous upon seeing her giving an umbrella to Oliver, it was all a prelude to today's kidnapping!"Julian..." Diana hissed through gritted teeth, her cheeks aching from the pressure of grounding her teeth together. Her eyes were devoid of tears, but the pain that struck her was stronger than the sensation of death.His words were like a knife that was slowly sliding into her, piercing her inch by inch."Do you truly feel nothing for our babies?"She could forgive him for

Diana agreed with this point. But Julian probably didn't care as much for her compared to Madam Fulcher, and his obsession with Kayla seemed to have reached a maddening level."I don’t dare make any baseless speculations anymore," Diana said. Ultimately, her trust in him was completely shattered by disappointment after disappointment.Madam Fulcher naturally noticed Diana's feelings. Instead of immediately discussing the phone call with Julian, she calmly brought up Diana’s birthday. "Do you remember the sign saying 'Dogs like Julian are not allowed inside'?"Diana was surprised at the abrupt change in topic, and a faint bitterness resurfaced in her heart."Yes, I do."Madam Fulcher smiled kindly and said, "Julian made it himself and placed it at the door because he knew you didn't want to see him. He did it so you could have a peaceful birthday in my home."Diana felt her determination waver; the shattered parts of her heart seemed to piece themselves back together slowly by s
