Julian’s Stand-In Wife

“The Jarvises have a very powerful information network,” Diana explained to Noel. “I’m sure you know that more than I do.”

She shared her thoughts with him.

“Right now, we can only depend on them to pinpoint the man behind Enzo and find a loophole in their attempts to attack the Fulchers.”

Ultimately, Enzo was only able to threaten Julian by using Sean and Betty as

leverage.

Thus, they had to find something that could be a match against Enzo.

Investigating the man behind Enzo was the first step.

and Cecilia right now. I, on the other hand, offended Mrs. Jarvis before.”
