Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 36

Suffice to say, Kate was ashamed of Diana.

Diana was also the reason why other rich housewives criticized Kate for not being a good mother and not deserving her seat among them. In fact, someone even pointed out that only a woman from a small town like Kayla would pass on hillbilly–like genes to her daughter, which happened to be Diana.

People only stopped saying such things after Diana married into the Fulcher family. However, this was only the case when Diana didn’t show up in Kate’s life.

All things considered, Kate wouldn’t possibly be welcoming of Diana.

Thanks to Diana, Kate was humiliated by Julian a few days ago.
