Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1259
Kenneth had thought he would meet his end that day, so he finally said the words he had kept hidden in his heart for a lifetime.
“Do you think I’m a kind person?” Kenneth asked his son.
“No,” Oliver answered sincerely. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
In Oliver’s eyes, Kenneth was a shrewd businessman, and that could be seen from how he treated Simon. The secret adoption of Simon years ago was also motivated by the benefits the Fulchers offered.
“Why do you think I would adopt Fanny out of the goodness of my heart?”
Oliver was instantly struck by this question. It was as though a hammer had hit him on the head, and his temples were pounding.
He instinctively asked, “Why?”
“Because her parents were killed in a car accident caused by my drunken driving.”
Back in the early days, the city’s surveillance system was not yet as advanced.
There were many areas lacking camera coverage.
At the time, if an accident occurred and the parties involved were quick to respond and had enough money, they could cover up any wrongdoing.
Fanny’s parents were one of the poor people who had been run over by Kenneth’s car, an incident which had been covered up for over twenty years.
As for their daughter…
“For all these years, I have never mistreated her.”
Oliver didn’t understand how Kenneth even managed to smile as he narrated his story.
“I even gave my most outstanding son to her. I think I’m actually a kind person.”
A kind person? i Would a kind person pay off their sins after killing someone’s parents in a car accident?
Would a kind person bring the daughter of those they had killed into their home, and make her call him father as she sought vengeance?!
Oh, what a truly kind person he was!
Oliver laughed sarcastically, unable to bear looking at his father’s demeanor any longer. He forcefully pushed the door open, and stormed out of the room. His mind was in turmoil.
From that day on, he never mentioned divorce again and prohibited Fanny from bringing it up. Oliver thought that this matter would quietly pass, but he never imagined that Fanny would overhear his conversation with his father at the office door.
From then on, she repeatedly asked him what sins Kenneth had committed against her.
This put Oliver in a difficult spot. If he opened up about it, everything between him and Fanny would crumble.
And Fanny…
She might break down as a result. Who could accept falling in love with the son of their enemy? Who could accept recognizing the enemy as their father for so many years?!
“This script is good,” Fanny commented after reading the script and handing it to her agent. ’This kind of relationship has a lot of dramatic potential.”
She summed it up for her agent.
“A wife unknowingly marries her the son of her father’s killer’s, and recognizes the enemy as a father. I mean, she marries the son! Why won’t it be popular?
Especially when the wife has been secretly in love with her husband for a long time, and they had a contractual marriage because her husband hasn’t forgotten his first love.”
This secret love story reminded her of her own experiences. Fortunately, she didn’t have any enmity with the Channings.
Fanny quickly decided, “This drama will be a key project for our studio. We’ll push it forward in the coming months, and as for the cast… We’ll assign it to one of our current rising starlets.”
She had a feeling this drama would be a hit!
When the time came, she would invite Oliver to visit the set. With a story this intriguing, he might also be interested.
While Fanny was energetically advancing the project on her side, Oliver was discussing countermeasures with Julian. Both of them had worried looks on their faces.
“Everything you said today, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear,” Julian told Oliver. “Let’s just forget about it all.”
Only by keeping the secret could Oliver continue his relationship with Fanny.
Though it was far from an ideal solution, it was a necessary one.
Just as Oliver was about to agree, a young voice spoke up,” Daddy, Mr.
Channing, are you trying to deceive someone?”
