Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 149

Diana smiled. Things would be easy as long as Julian thought that way.

She wasn’t anxious to stand back up. Instead, she sat down on the floor, maintaining the same level as Kayla as she tilted her jaw. “We each have our own side of the stories, and we’ll never get to the bottom of who plagiarized who,”

She went on, “Since Julian said just now that it’s not important who he believes and that the truth is more important, let’s redesign some outfits and see who is more skilled. That way, we’ll be able to tell who’s the real plagiarizer.”
