Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1364

“That was so long ago,” Julian said with a disdainful roll of his eyes. He stuck his hands in his pockets, and stood up from the bed. “As long as you survive this ordeal and overcome the sorrow in your heart, I won’t be scared, even if you start having feelings for Diana again.”

A smug smile stretched across his face. “Anyway, Diana’s mine. No one can snatch her away from me.”

He even showed Oliver the photos Betty just sent to him. “See? My wife went overseas, and even thought of buying a present for me.”

He looked so proud of himself.

If Fanny had really died and her death wasn’t a lie that Oliver fabricated, Oliver would probably die of anger, with how he kept showing off his lovey-dovey life with Diana.

Thankfully, Julian had a modicum of conscience left in him. He belatedly realized that he shouldn’t have done that in Oliver’s face.

He quickly kept his phone in his pocket. “Whatever it is, Oliver, I want you to be well. As for Fanny, for all we know, she’s in heaven waiting for you until the day you die—until both of you are reincarnated as husband and wife in your next life.”

Oliver said flatly, “Don’t comfort others if you don’t know how to.”

It wasn’t that Julian didn’t know how to comfort others. Rather, he didn’t know how to comfort men.

If Diana was the one who had her heart broken, he would have a hundred ways to cheer her up. He would be able to help her walk out of her sadness in the shortest time possible.

Despite Julian’s clumsy efforts at comforting him, Oliver looked to be in better spirits.

At the very least, the light had returned to his eyes.

Julian was glad to see Oliver like this, and felt more reassured. He tightened his grip over his phone, and reminded Oliver firmly, “Don’t try to take your own life again. I’ll head out to make a call. I’ll come back again soon.”

Oliver nodded. “I won’t.”

He laid on the bed, his entire head covered by a soft pillow. Only a small part of his face was exposed, making for a silly sight.

“If Fanny saw you like this right now, she definitely wouldn’t bear to leave,” Julian lamented, before finally leaving to call Diana.

After Julian left his room, Oliver ordered his servants to lock his door and leave. He pulled out a laptop connected to the surveillance camera, wanting to see how Fanny was doing alone in the room.

There was no one in sight.

Oliver switched on the surveillance video. Then, he saw Fanny curled up into a ball on the couch, her body covered with injuries.

Her long hair was draped across her back, revealing only a small part of her fair, dewy neck. It looked so snowy white and tender in Oliver’s eyes.

Very good.

She had stopped thinking about escaping.

The past two days, she had been very obedient.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Perhaps because she sensed someone was watching her through the surveillance cameras, she glared at it with a burning gaze. Furious, she snarled, “Oliver Channing!”

Although she couldn’t leave this place, that didn’t mean she couldn’t receive any messages from outside.

Everyone had been talking about how she, Fanny Smith, had died!

Dead!

Even the television programs were talking about how the A-list female celebrity of the past, Fanny Smith, who left the industry after getting married, slipped and fell on a rainy day. She had died along with her baby in her womb, leaving her husband so desperately miserable that he committed suicide at home in hopes of dying with his wife.

The news didn’t mention her much, and instead sung praises of Oliver.

They praised him for being such a dedicated and loving husband, on top of being an elite and a wealthy heir in Richburgh.

Hah!

Dedicated and loving?

Would a dedicated and loving man lock his wife up in such an empty room?!

Would he disregard the fact that she had a miscarriage, and only care about locking her up?!

He even wanted her to give birth to another baby for him! Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He spread news that she had died, just so he could lock her up in here without mercy!

Could such a man be described as dedicated and loving?

He should be described as ruthless and vicious instead!

“One day, I’ll make you and your father pay the price! I’ll have you all punished by the law!”

To prevent Julian from getting suspicious and coming into his room, Oliver switched off the volume of the surveillance camera footage.

Even though he was only reading Fanny’s lips, he could make out what she was saying.

“Go on and try,” Oliver taunted with a casual smile.

The vulnerability and paleness on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by an excitement that glinted in his eyes.

He would never give Fanny a chance to leave that room her entire life.
