Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 428

Marvin leaned his fat body against the door.

“Miss Winnington. If you go out now, it’ll be an insult to me,” he said bluntly.

His gaze felt like repulsive leeches crawling all over Diana, and it made her deeply uncomfortable. She shifted slightly and forced a smile as she said, “Mr. Trotter, I really need to use the restroom.”

Marvin had taken the chance to touch her hand when he pressed the teacup into her hand just now, and it made Diana’s skin itch with the urge to clean it immediately. Yet, the man refused to let her leave.

“I’ll be upfront with you, Diana,” Marvin said with narrowed eyes. “I’m willing to invest in your studio, but I’ll never invest in people who don’t matter. If you want money from me, you’ll have to perform well.”

After saying that, Marvin pulled out a room card and placed it on the table.

The meaning behind his words couldn’t be any more obvious.

Diana clearly underestimated how nasty the man could get as he added, “As long as you go, I’ll always have your back. Everyone will know that you’re mine no matter where you go or when it is.”

To put it bluntly, he wanted to keep her as his mistress.
