Chapter 632
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana clenched her fist tightly.
She was furious.
Furious at Kayla for being truly ruthless and disregarding Madam Fulcherâs life!
Even now, after Madam Fulcher had just passed away, Kayla took pleasure in their misfortune.
No matter what had happened, the older woman was still Julianâs grandmother. If Kayla genuinely loved Julian, how could she hold such resentment against the old lady and eagerly awaited harm to befall said person?
At this moment, Diana suddenly understood why Madam Fulcher had deceived Kayla into leaving the country. The old woman had long seen through Kayla and her superficial feelings for Julian.
Kaylaâs love for Julianâs worth as a person was far less than her love for his status and wealth.
Diana couldnât bear it any longer and shouted angrily, âKayla!â
When she yelled, Kayla looked at her in astonishment.
Kayla seemed to have realized there was still hope. Disregarding her dignity, she desperately crawled toward Diana and cried desperately, âMy dear sister⦠Please save me! Help me!â
She was willing to give Diana the ashes.
She really was!
However, Diana didnât react as she had expected. Diana didnât even take a step towards her. Instead, the womanâs eyes were filled with hatred.
Seeing that Diana remained indifferent to her plea, Kayla turned to Julian and begged, âJulian, Iâm your savior! You canât treat me like this!â
She was like a leaping jester, constantly switching between insulting and begging, switching between Julian and Diana.
It seemed that the gloomy morgue had already driven her to the point of at least half a mental breakdown.
âDonât mention that.â
She spent a while making a commotion, but then Julian interrupted her coldly, âI donât have a savior like you. Had I known someone like you would save me, I wouldnât have walked out of that cave alive!â
Kayla froze.
Instinctively, she looked up at Diana.
Despite everything that had happened, Diana still hadnât revealed to Julian the truth about her being his savior!
If that was the case, why was Kayla still locked up in this damn morgue?
Diana shouldâve rescued her a long time agoâ¦
It was definitely because Diana was a treacherous b*tch!
âWhy wonât you save me? Why wonât you let Julian release me?!â Kayla glared at Diana, her eyes filled with fury. âDonât you even want the ashes? You evil wench!â
Diana didnât react, but Julian spoke first. âAshes?â
His dark, inky eyes, as sharp as a sword, pierced through Kayla as they landed on her. He looked as if he wanted to put her on the edge of a blade and wouldnât relent until he split her into half.
The intimidating air around him silenced Kayla instantly.
âAre you talking about Grandmaâs ashes?â Julian pressed, puzzled. Unable he turned to Diana in hopes for an answer.
Kaylaâs mention of ashes had nothing to do with Madam Fulcher. She was simply referring to the ashes of Dianaâs babies that she held as leverage.
Yet at this moment, Diana still couldnât bring herself to tell Julian the truth. Had she done so, Julianâs hatred towards Kayla would only intensify. 1 And when that happenedâ¦
Kayla would be in even greater trouble, and any pleas for mercy from her would be futile.
Would Kayla still hand over the ashes by then?
It was highly unlikely. Diana couldnât risk that consequence.
Feeling helpless, she nodded and shook her head at the same time.
âIt seems unrelated to Grandmaâs ashes.â
Otherwise, Diana wouldâve refuted Kaylaâs offer and wouldnât act this way.
However, Julian was a sharp man; his cleverness was such that he could see through the details and grasp the truth from people.
Julian withdrew his gaze from Diana and directed it towards Kayla. âLooks like the problem lies with the babies.â
This was his first time observing the two sisters in such close proximity.
Ignoring the scar on Kaylaâs face, they did bear a very close resemblance; almost identical, in fact.
However, their personalities were a whole different story.
He couldnât help but wonder how on earth had he convinced himself that Diana was a substitute for Kayla without ever considering their differences before.
He sneered; as if mocking himself and Kayla at the same time.
