Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 120

“Holy sh*t!” Nina was unable to hold back from cursing. “So James is planning to use that contract so that you’d owe the Winningtons thirteen million instead?”

“I think that’s his plan,” Diana said, exasperated. “He kept going on and on about how he wanted justice for himself and Kayla, but essentially…”
