Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 671

Even if Julian desperately wanted to reach out and hold Diana, to embrace her tightly and greedily breathe in every bit of her presence…he couldn’t.

It wasn’t because he feared the Pabian family, or anyone else.

It was because… He had to protect her in a way that seemed at odds with her, a way that appeared to belittle her.

Julian refused to believe that Clifford had the audacity to invite Diana as a guest to his home.

Despite the Channing family’s involvement, this scheme to test Diana’s worth in his heart didn’t seem like something Simon or Kenneth would come up with. Moreover, they seemed to differ from the script of the one responsible for orchestrating this act from behind the scenes.

As for whether Oliver was the mastermind behind it all, Julian couldn’t rely solely on speculation.

He needed further confirmation.

If it really was Oliver, and the man had become so deranged as to target Diana…

Julian’s eyes narrowed slightly as a dangerous aura poured out around him.

If that was really the case, he was determined to make Oliver regret it!

The most important thing before exposing Oliver’s true face was to use the substitute incident and spread news of his estrangement from Diana. Only then would Clifford and his enemies realize that Diana wasn’t his weakness.
