Todos os capítulos de Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Capítulo 681 - Capítulo 690

Vans had personally dealt with Lina, turning her into Richburgh’s laughingstock with that slap-swollen face and messy hair at her own banquet. However, Diana was unable to accept that Vans neither issued Lina an ultimatum nor broke off their wedding engagement. He didn’t break up with Nina, either.Yes…After what happened at the banquet, Nina requested Vans for a breakup. Yet, he didn’t agree to it.Things between them had reached a stalemate.Right now, Nina was shunning Vans at all costs.That was how Diana came up with the idea of inviting Nina over to celebrate the new year. Firstly, it would help to comfort Nina. Secondly, with Nina around, Vans wouldn’t come visit.Diana’s heart ached for Nina, but her conflicting feelings regarding Vans clashed in her heart. He had, after all, risked much to protect her babies once upon a time.He had also helped her out many, many times.She instinctively sensed that Vans wasn’t a two-timer or a heartless man. As Julian had said, s

Oliver’s heart hardened with determination.He looked calmly at Julian, with no intention of stopping the latter from recording their conversation.He knew that any struggle would simply be in vain.Diana probably sensed his real character by now.The thought made Julian’s lips arch in a smile. His fingers landed on the chair with self-assured confidence. “Are you here to apologize, or to plead for me to show the Channings mercy?”“Neither.” Oliver knew Julian. Even if he were to plead with him, Julian would never agree to it.It was because he had made a move on Diana.Julian would never let it go.“I admit defeat,” Oliver said. “I lost to you this time, and I’m willing to bear the consequences. As for an apology…” He paused for a moment, as conflict flashed past his eyes. “Even if I were to apologize, it wouldn’t be for this.”He had figured things out.Anyone had the right to pursue happiness and ambitions.How could he give up on what he wanted, just because he shared

“Are you sure?” Julian seemed to still be in a daze. “It was Diana who saved me?”“Yes,” Oliver replied. “It wasn’t my first time meeting her. I gave her a sweet potato at Yale Village.”Her face was flushed a bright red—he remembered it clearly.Her eyes were bright and glistening as they stared wide-eyed at him.Oliver remembered that look for many years to come.As it turned out, Yale Village was where their intertwined destinies began.And Julian was the last to find out.“Then… What’s with Kayla?”“She’s an imposter.” Oliver’s voice was laced with disdain at the mention of that woman. “She’s addicted to being an imposter, and leveraged on her resemblance with Diana to do many wicked things.”When Julian woke up at that time, he did notice a slight difference between Kayla’s figure and that of the person who saved him.However, he didn’t think too much of it.When one was suffering from high fever, unclear vision and being unable to see people around was absolutely norma

That look in his face induced pity.Diana’s heart ached at the sight of it, and she immediately sat next to him. She fixed her eyes on him and asked solemnly, “Julian, what exactly happened?”Julian evaded her line of sight. There were still abrasion wounds on his knuckles.Even without his reply, Diana knew that his chat with Oliver didn’t go well.She immediately grabbed the first-aid kit to help him treat his wound. “Why can’t you talk things through properly?” She was worried that he hit Oliver because of her.She pondered for a moment before saying, “Even if he’s not who I thought he was, it’s all right.”Diana looked at Julian and went on, “It’s better that you don’t get hurt.“To us, Oliver can be a friend or a stranger, perhaps even an enemy. I might care and be troubled about the kind of a person he is, but I’ll never be sad about it.”Her voice was gentle, comforting to the soul. “But… My heart will ache if you get hurt.”The look in Julian’s eyes finally gentled upo

However, the thought of Oliver scheming against her and forcing her to the Pabians’ residence made her resistant against him.She pondered for a moment, and finally decided to reach out to Simon.After all, Simon had a part to play in inviting her over to the Pabians. He probably shared a good relationship with Oliver. She might be able to find something out from him.Standing at the door of the Channings residence, Julian didn’t see Simon in it after driving over.It was almost the new year, yet Simon wasn’t home.Nobody cared about where he went. Julian, unable to locate him, had no choice but to return to the villa.Diana was still waiting for him, after all.Yet when he returned home, not only was Nina not there yet, but even Diana wasn’t around.The wall decorations were left forgotten on the table, which told of how much of a hurry Diana must’ve been in when she left. She didn’t even bother tidying up the place before leaving.The servants thought they wanted to use the
