Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect 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. He felt as if his heart was gripped tightly by an invisible hand. 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 mansion.

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 sure nothing happens to her.”

Noel nodded and caught up with him.

Julian opened the package and saw the pair of earrings.

He glanced at the sender’s name. Kate Renforth.

It seemed the lesson he taught her previously was not enough. That woman was still repeatedly getting involved between him and Diana.

Anger flashed past the depths of Julian’s eyes. He immediately gave James a call.

“Are the Winningtons no longer interested in the West Union project?”

James was in bed with another woman, who he quickly pushed away. A mix of panic and reverence could be heard in his voice as he sputtered, “President Fulcher, we’ve been following up closely on the project. Did we do something wrong to upset you in any way?”

“You know very well what your family has done.” Nonetheless, Julian’s succinct reply was intimidating.

Even through the phone, it was effective in scaring James so much that he felt weak in the knees. It was only after the call ended that he managed to calm down and breathe normally once again. He glared hard at the woman next to him. “Has Julian been fighting with Kayla recently?”

“No,” Loraine, the woman, replied. “Kayla told me that Julian treats her very well, and was even willing to get a divorce for her sake.”

A cheerful glint flashed past her eyes as she went on, “James, when our daughter Kayla officially becomes. Mrs. Fulcher, will you make me your official wife too? I don’t want to stay in the kitchen and wait on that old hag anymore…”

“Shut up!” James‘ mind was in a mess and he pushed her away, annoyed. “Think carefully. Did anyone visit our house recently?”

“Diana?” Loraine arched her brows as she pondered. “She visited recently, and even had a meal with Kate.”

Since when did the mother–daughter pair become so close?!

This would not do!

Feeling slightly guilty, James jumped on his feet, quickly put on his clothes, and rushed back to the

Winnington residence. He kicked Kate’s door open and yelled, “Why did you have a meal with Diana? Aren’t you even worried about upsetting Kayla?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Kate was rather surprised by James‘ response.

“Diana’s our daughter, too.” Just now, Kate even cruelly rushed Diana into a divorce. Kate’s fingers were still trembling from their conversation just now. “What’s more, Kayla isn’t as petty as you think she is. So what if I shared a meal with Diana?”

“Kayla’s not petty, but I feel sorry for her since she can’t be with Julian yet!”

Guilt surged through James’s heart as he saw the questioning look in Kate’s eyes. He lifted his hand to wipe the sweat from his brows as he toned down a little.

“It’s not that you don’t know that things only look good on the outside for our family, and we’re all spent on the inside. We’re no longer in the glory days of the past, and we’re solely dependent on the little bit of money we’re earning from the project with the Fulchers. Why do you think Julian’s being so helpful to us? Isn’t it all because of Kayla? In choosing between our two daughters, you can’t be foolish!”
