Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1549

Fanny bet that he wouldn’t dare.

That was equivalent to eliminating all chances he stood with Diana.

Julian witnessed the scene unfolding before him. Instead of getting frustrated, he stood quietly there, ready to protect Diana, as he watched Fanny and Oliver fight it out with each other.

Oliver was confused. “Why not?”

He glanced at Diana, and went on, “I did like Diana in the past, but I have since given up on those feelings for her.

Fanny Smith, is your heart made of stone? Can’t you tell who the woman I like is after all this time?”

Fanny was stunned, feeling suffocated as if something was stuck in her throat. “Don’t tell me it’s me.”

Oliver was dumbfounded.

Who else could he be talking about? Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The stars in the sky?

Fanny felt indignant under his glare. “If you like me, why did you say that I’m just a child-bearing tool for you?”

“If I didn’t say that, would I be able to keep you confined in the villa? Would I be able to dash all your hopes and make you feel hopeless?”

He would rather see Fanny wilt like a dying flower before him than to let her leave. Such a suffocating love resembled Julian when he was behaving unreasonably in the past.

It also proved that Oliver cared very much for his relationship with Fanny.

Silence fell upon them.

Diana and Julian weren’t anxious to speak out. Instead, they tried to remain quiet, giving Oliver and Fanny the space they needed to think.

Fanny was no fool.

When Oliver rushed over to her defense just now, she could sense his affection for her. In fact, in that instant, she wanted to forget about all the grudges between them.

But… If she didn’t pursue justice for the death of her innocent parents and her unborn baby, who else would do so?

She was utterly confused.

After a long while, she bit her lips and said, “Oliver, I called Diana to help me today. You can’t keep me here forever.”

Oliver knew that. The moment Julian and Diana stopped in, his control over Fanny would be significantly weakened.

“I won’t let you go,” he said as he tightened her grip over her. “Fanny Smith, you can’t release that recording. If you do, we’re over.”

The final sliver of hope in Fanny’s heart died.

“That’s the best outcome I could wish for.”

With that, she ignored the wound on Oliver’s head and walked toward Diana, hiding behind Diana.

Julian’s men surrounded them at once, such that Oliver couldn’t come close even if he tried to.

“Erin,” Fanny said to her, unable to bring her over with her.” After everything is over, I’ll make it up to you properly.”

With that, she switched her camera to the selfie mode and released the recording in her name.

Diana and Julian looked shocked as they exchanged glances after hearing the recording.

They knew something major had happened between Fanny and Oliver, but they didn’t expect it to be so serious.

After the recording was released, Fanny and Oliver’s names became so viral on the internet. News regarding Nina and Marcus quickly became forgotten.

The scandal astonished everyone.

Much of the things that Oliver had done were criminal.

The share prices of Channing Inc. slumped immediately. Even Kenneth Channing’s tombstone didn’t escape its fate of being attacked by overly-enthusiastic netizens.

Things happened so quickly, Julian had to take matters into his own hands and take them away.

Oliver didn’t pursue them. When Fanny released the recording, he looked as if he aged by a decade.

He remained silent before the police. Very soon, the truth behind the car accident resulting in the death of Fanny’s parents was exposed. Oliver was faced with potential jail time for being an accessory to crime.
