Chapter 1028

“Julian,” Diana said, clearly angry.

She wasn’t an object!

And certainly not a prize for both brothers to compete over!

She was a person!

A living, breathing person with her own thoughts and emotions!

“Sorry.” Julian finally stopped. Seeing the anger in Diana’s eyes, regret washed over him.

He failed to control the possessiveness buried deep in his heart.

This possessiveness shouldn’t have come out now, when what Diana needed most was comfort.

He sighed in relief at how he managed to stop himself at the last moment. He looked apologetically at Diana, and held her hand tightly.

He then pulled Diana to Simon, shielding Diana from Simon with his own body so she didn’t need to get too close to Simon.

He looked at Simon, and scoffed. “Did you have fun following us to the amusement park today?

Probably not.

“But you still had to pretend to have fun. That’s what you are, Simon.

“Just like your legs. You clearly only had yourself to blame for turning out like this, yet you had to shift the blame to Diana!”

Diana was stunned. “Julian, don’t your mouth off.”

Simon was wrong today.

She had decided that while she would continue being responsible for Simon, she wouldn’t take care of him personally from now on.

Julian blaming Simon for the disability didn’t make sense.

“They are two different issues,” Diana said. She would certainly make Simon bear the consequences of what he did today, and keep her distance from him. Despite that, she couldn’t stand idly by and watch Julian insult him.

‘They are one and the same,” Julian said, shooting a challenging glare at Simon.

He deliberately swung his hand, that was holding Diana’s tightly. Grinning, he said, “Simon. Let’s go check something out, shall we?”

Diana was confused. “What is it?”

She didn’t really want to be in the same place as Simon right now.

If it were in the past, Julian would have taken her away long ago. Yet now, he wanted to bring them to see something. That made Diana slightly curious.

‘What exactly is it?” she asked.

She leaned close to Julian-as if he were a strong, solid rock wall. It made her feel a lot more at ease.

Julian could sense her insecurity, and glared furiously at Simon.

He had been trying to hold himself back and not make a move on Simon.

He was worried that his opportunistic and scheming brother might act pitiful after watching the video, and bite back by making Diana feel guilty again.

“Surveillance camera footage,” Julian replied with a smile. He was solemn as he explained to Diana, “Video recordings from a car that passed by during Simon’s accident.”

Julian had watched that recording at least a thousand times.

He had become so familiar with the footage, he could accurately tell when the grass and the leaf shook with the passing wind.

At the mention of the video recording, Simon’s expression changed.

He almost succeeded in kissing Diana just now!

He was already furious at Julian for stopping him at the most critical moment.

And now, Julian was deliberately holding Diana’s hand and swinging it audaciously right in front of him.

The man was clearly trying to stake his claim!

Simon’s mind was in a mess right now.

Even so, he was sure that the video recording would reveal some important information.

He couldn’t let Diana watch it.

“I’m sorry,” he said, as his expression changed completely. He softened his stance immediately, and apologized to Diana, “I really shouldn’t have done what I did to you today. I must have gone mad. I saw how happy you two were at the amusement park, and I…”

Regret seeped in his voice. “I am a man weighed down by my useless pair of legs. I deserve death!

Even though I’ve become crippled, I never should have done that to you.

Diana… I…”

“Enough,” Julian sneered, his patience with Simon’s performance wearing thin.

Having a brother like this was the greatest humiliation in his life!

“Grandma was right not to tell me about your existence when she was alive,” Julian scoffed, disdain etched clearly on his face. “The earlier I knew about your existence, the longer I would’ve been disgusted!”

“Noel, play the video!” he commanded.
