Chapter 936
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âDianaâs socials?â Vans was stunned. âAre you talking about you wearing a dress?â
âPfft.Jâ Julian spat out the tea in his mouth, a myriad of expressions crossing his face. His imposing aura loomed over Vans.
At that moment, Vans knew he had stepped on Julianâs tail.
He was about to explain himself when Julian said, âItâs fine. Youâre not the only one who saw it, anyway.â
The moment he said that, the screen in the private room flickered to a photo of him wearing a dress. It was precisely the photo Diana posted on her social media.
Vans was flabbergasted. He even forgot to swallow the tea in his mouth.
âWhat exactly is going on?â
âNothing,â Julian said. âRather than being laughed at behind my back, Iâd rather be the first to mock myself.â
This was a tactic his companyâs PR department often used. When you are self-derisive, others become disinterested in talking about you.
Julian was right, but Vansâs face twisted into an awkward expression.
âUh,â he began, âbut no one aside from Diana and Nina can see what she posts on her socialsâ¦â
Now that Julian had done this, everyone knew about it!
Julianâs face flushed with anger. He roared, âWhy didnât you tell me that earlier?!â
âYou didnât ask,â Vans said indignantly. âI wanted to tell you I saw it from Ninaâs phone, but you cut me offâ¦â
Now, it was too late to take down the photo.
Julian looked at everyone whispering and laughing to each other in the hall outside. He had a sudden urge to dig a hole in the floor and bury himself in it.
âThe great CEO of Fulcher Inc., the most powerful man in Richburgh, posted a photo of himself in a ladiesâ dress!â
Meanwhile, Kiki smashed everything she could smash in her house the moment she woke up from her drunken stupor.
She gritted her teeth in anger. When she heard the news, her heart filled with hatred. Immediately, she asked Simon to send her the photo.
âItâs Dianaâs dress,â she said.
Diana had worn that exact same dress when the principal called both parents to the kindergarten.
âLooks like Julian went to Diana after leaving my place.â
They were such great actors.
Good enough to dupe her big time!
The thought of the foolish things she did to Julian last night made her feel so wretched, she wanted to explode.
Kiki tried to find a reason for Julian posting the photo to the public. âJulianâs showing off how lovey-
dovey they are. That b*tch Diana definitely made him do it! Sheâs trying to show off to me!â
She smashed the laser TV in her house, screaming at the topof her lungs.
Even that didnât escape her tantrum. After that, she grabbed a golf club and started hitting the TV screen.
A look of displeasure flashed past Simonâs face as he witnessed Kikiâs crazed actions. He looked in the direction of the room and reminded her, âDoreenâs still injured, and she hasnât gone to school yet. Youâll scare her.â
âSheâs used to it by now,â Kiki snapped.
She went to such great lengths over the past three years, yet her love for Julian remained unrequited.
Her smashing things in the house was sure to happen every other month.
Simon didnât say anything. He kept looking in the direction of Doreenâs room.
Doreen was curled up in a tight ball. She did look like she was used to wrapping her head with her arms, trying her best to ignore the commotion outside.
Betty suddenly popped into Simonâs mind. At home, Betty would act as if she were at the top of the world.
The only person who would act like Doreen, with how she was covering her ears so fearfully and not daring to lift her head up, was Diana. She was always measured in doting and disciplining her own children.
She would never be like Kiki, who wouldnât fulfill her responsibilities as a mother after giving birth.
After smashing everything in sight, Kiki took a sip of water, sat down, and glared at him coldly. âWhat are you looking at?â
Simon didnât hide his thoughts. âDoreen.â
He paused for a moment, then added, âJulian has his reasons for not liking you.â
âSimon Channing!â Kiki screeched.
âEnough about that.â Simon didnât want to argue with her.
