Chapter 1050
Julian returned Layla’s call when he got the message.
"Miss, you're back."
He heard Layla talking to someone as soon as the call connected.
Julian had no doubt that the person on the other end was Diana. He wondered where Diana had gone.
He was curious and wanted to ask, but then he remembered the abruptly ended video call. His interest waned after
he recalled the incident.
Layla was engrossed in conversation with Diana, unaware she was holding the landline phone receiver.
"How's it going? Did the house purchase go smoothly?" Layla asked. She was genuinely concerned about the
matter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It was fine," Diana replied calmly, completely different from her assertive tone when she spoke to Julian.
Julian listened to her conversation, and strangely felt a sense of satisfaction. It was good to hear her speak so
calmly.
"Before making my final decision, I need to meet with one of my investors. He supported me before I lost my
memory, and I need to calculate whether I can afford the debt," Diana added.
At this point, Julian was slightly puzzled. He realized belatedly that, hidden beneath Diana's calm tone, she was
talking about buying a house.
She wanted to buy a house?!
Why did she want to buy a house? Wasn't living in Collina Villa good enough? He had moved out, and he had even
taken Cecilia with him.
What was she dissatisfied with?
She was being too greedy.
A surge of frustration welled up from deep within him. He was about to speak up to redirect Layla's attention, when
he heard Diana continue, "Unfortunately, I haven't been able to schedule a meeting with that investor. I've called
several times, but there was no answer. And when I sent a text message, he didn't respond either."
An investor... Phone calls unanswered, text messages ignored.
Layla's heart skipped a beat as she quickly said, "What a coincidence! Today, I heard a phone ringing persistently in
the master's room. Someone kept calling him, and was quite insistent. Even though the call wasn't answered, the
caller refused to hang up. Eventually, when I entered the room, the ringing stopped. Then, that caller sent a text
message instead."
Layla carefully recalled the content of the message for Diana. "It said something about meeting in person..."
Julian's heart pounded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLayla was describing the forgotten phone he had left at the villa. And Diana wanted to meet Mr. Whatever, who was
none other than himself.
Julian hadn't told Diana that he was the Mr. Whatever. He was her studio's other investor, apart from Fanny.
Before Diana's memory loss, he concealed his identity to ensure she would accept his financial assistance. Later, he
found it amusing to know her innermost thoughts and provide her with significant help under this alternate identity,
especially when she was feeling down.
After Diana found out from Noel that Julian had used Albert's identity to test her, she had already been angry once.
Julian didn't want to reveal the identity of Mr. Whatever and strain their relationship even more than it already was.
Now, it was crucial that Diana didn't find out about his true identity as Mr. Whatever.
"Layla!" he quickly interrupted her, histone harsh. "Have you forgotten the rules of the Fulcher family?"
When had Layla started to sneak a peek at his texts? She even dared to enter his room without his permission!
It was then that Layla realized that she had answered Julian's phone call. In her distraction, she had almost
committed a major workplace taboo by inadvertently revealing the texts on her master's phone to Diana.
After all, Diana and Julian were no longer a married couple.
