Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 654

“Everything in that rented apartment has disappeared.” Noel found it strange as well. “I tried to ask around with the neighbors, and they said that a luxury car drove by to pick up the couple.”

Julian’s brows furrowed. “A luxury car?”

The Winnington family were no longer receptive to James.

Why would there be a luxury car coming to fetch them?

Where did the car bring them to?

“Yes,” Noel replied. “Apparently, they were exceptionally happy when they left, and they flung all their belongings into the trash can, as if they were about to enjoy a good life in the days ahead.”

Julian found it strange. “Did you check the car plate number?”

“No, I didn’t,” Noel said. “Their apartment was in an old estate which didn’t even have traffic lights, not to mention surveillance cameras. No trace of the car was left behind.”

Things seemed rather suspicious, and Julian tasked Noel to investigate things further. But memories of Kate insulting and scolding Diana outside the villa yesterday, which upset Diana and sent her mind into chaos, flashed in his mind. Julian concluded that perhaps, their departure might be for the better after all.
