Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 18

On the other hand, Kayla didn’t expect Diana to be a tough nut to crack.

When she received Loraine’s call, she thought she had met a crafty scammer.

What a joke!

Could the goods sold by a famous brand like L be recalled without reason?

But when Kayla received a phone call from the manager of the L brand boutique, she immediately realized that the hillbilly who had spent more than ten years in the countryside wasn’t as easy to bully as she had first thought.

That woman dared to spend Julian’s money–one hundred million dollars, in fact–to buy that boutique!

Kayla was enraged. That money belonged to her!

How dare that hillbilly Diana touch her money?!

Diana even told the workers to have the dress Kayla had bought returned immediately, on the grounds that it was of poor quality.

Was this a deliberate attempt to infuriate Kayla?

Or was it because Diana had sensed something was wrong and wanted to get revenge when Kayla had deliberately bought the dress one step ahead of Diana the moment she saw Diana at the boutique that day?

That seemingly meek woman was not only more tactful than Kayla thought, but was also much sharper and more vengeful than Kayla had expected.

Kayla felt that her antics after her return to the country was far too mild. She had been too kind, which was probably why that stupid hillbilly dared to go against her.

“I can return this dress,” Kayla said to the boutique manager over the phone, “but I want the person in charge of your brand to apologize to me personally.”

The manager was taken aback for a moment, and could sense the conflict between Diana and Kayla.

However, one was Julian’s rightful wife while the other was a favored mistress. Not daring to offend either, she could only try her best to smooth things over. “Please wait a moment. I’ll pay a visit to your residence as soon as I’m done handling the business at the boutique.”

Kayla saw through the manager’s intentions immediately and said, “The person I want to meet is the one in charge of your boutique. Or perhaps your shop has no sincerity for its customers?”

“I’ll

go and ask, then.” The manager let out a long breath and quickly called Diana to explain the situation. Diana responded immediately, “All right, I’ll meet her.”

Diana had been trying so hard to track down Kayla’s identity the entire time, only to end up getting what she wanted with little effort. The time and place of their meeting were quickly set.

The manager considered the situation and finally decided to call Julian, who was the actual investor.
