Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 272
The ward room wasn’t a suite, and only had one bed.
Kayla was delighted. She had a feeling that today, she was finally going to see a breakthrough in what she had
been trying to accomplish over the past few days.
She was finally going to get what she wanted when she least expected it, and when she wasn’t even trying.
She had even thought through the possible movements that wouldn’t tug at the wounds on her thigh and
arms.
After some thinking, she began to regret it.
Had she known that she would have a chance to share a bed with Julian tonight, she would never have pierced
herself so viciously.
Julian had left the room as she was letting her imagination run wild.
He didn’t expect to see Diana sipping on a cup of milk on the first floor the moment he stepped into the villa.
Her long hair was splayed across her shoulder and milk hung on the corners of her lips, making her the perfect
picture of a cat lazing around.
What a leisurely mood she was in.
She even took the effort to slowly heat up the milk and wait for the sticky milk skin to form before slowly sipping on

She was so selfish!
Julian walked forward with a look of disdain and confoundment. Right off the bat, he demanded harshly, Why didn’t
you attend the dinner at Hillary Hotel? Isn’t it part of your work?!”
Whatever was destined to come, was bound to come.
Julian really didn’t disappoint.
He questioned her right off the bat without even thinking about the consequences if she had been the one.
who attended the dinner.
Well, he didn’t love her. Naturally, he wouldn’t care about her.
He would only be angry for Kayla’s sake.
Diana sneered as a look of aggression and defensiveness flashed past her usually gentle and meek eyes,
which were filled with disdain at this moment.
Disdain that was more intense than the disdain that could be seen in Julian’s eyes.
She said plainly, “Had I been there, Kayla would’ve lost the chance to shine.”
She merely gave Kayla the chance to do what she wanted to.
Diana recalled how she set off from the office, fully intending to appear at the dinner on time. She tried her best to
hail a taxi, but failed to do so despite changing her location many times.
Afterwards, she finally saw a taxi coming her way and stopping by the roadside. Just when she was about to reach
out to open the door, the taxi moved forward to the spot right behind her.
She turned around sharply and saw many of Kayla’s followers holding money in their hands and stuffing it down the
driver’s pocket, all the while avoiding Diana’s gaze.
Clearly, someone was playing tricks behind her back so that none of the many taxis that drove by would take
her.
Obviously, Kayla didn’t want her there at the dinner.
But how was this beneficial for Kayla?
Diana thought about the senior leader Michael, who specifically asked for her to join the dinner. She had thought
that he must be some bigwig worthy of pandering to, which was why Kayla was so eager to go.
Yet, when she sought Nina’s help to tap into her extensive network, all she found about Michael was nasty, filthy
information.
This guy had a filthy reputation. It was impossible that Kayla knew nothing about it.
Yet she chose to head straight into the lion’s den, which made Diana know when Kayla had in mind without even
thinking about it.
Kayla simply wanted to victimize herself and make Julian’s heart ache for her.
What Kayla intended to do coincidentally helped Diana avoid getting into a pickle with Michael.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for how Kayla and Julian would make things difficult for her, she was no longer afraid of that.
They probably wouldn’t dare to force alcohol down her throat and harm the babies in her womb, nor would they
dare to force her to do anything else.
So, Diana kept her phone and leisurely headed back to the villa.
She even leisurely whipped up an extra meal and warmed up some milk for herself.
“Kayla was trying to protect you, and you took it as her chance to shine?” Julian’s towering figure was a stark
contrast to Diana’s petite stature. He sneered and continued cruelly, “Diana Winnington, what in the world goes
through your mind all day?”
“Nothing much, except for getting the divorce,” Diana said calmly although her tone felt distant in the evening air
that was gradually turning colder.
For the first time, Julian found Diana so foreign and unfamiliar to him.
“Don’t worry.” He took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in his heart. His thin lips moved as he uttered,
“Once I remove all of Grandma’s spies, I’ll divorce you without any hesitation.”
The look in his eyes turned aggressive and imposing as he said the words.
He had never responded so quickly regarding the question of divorce.
Somehow, Diana subconsciously felt like he had some unspoken words.
