Chapter 1030
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian knew Simon was two-faced, but he didnât expect the latter to be so shameless.
Even after reaching this point, Simon was still trying to implicate other people.
âIâm not as despicable as you are,â Julian said calmly. The mockery in his voice was clear. âIf I really wanted to frame you, I wouldnât have gone to such great lengths and make the police come here to verify the evidence.â
All he needed to do was to say one word, and the court would have pronounced Simon guilty of his own accident immediately.
Yet, he didnât.
Diana knew Julian couldnât be bothered to do something like that. She patted his hand to comfort him, signaling him that she trusted him.
Simon smiled.
It was a bitter smile.
âDiana Winnington, did you forget?
âDid you forget who stayed by your side when you gave birth to the twins? Who helped you when you were raising them?
âWhen you were in labor, it hurt so badlyâ¦â
He pointed at Julian, and went on through gritted teeth,â
Where in the world was this man, whom you love so deeply?â
It would all have been well if Simon didnât mention that.
But now that he did, Diana couldnât talk normally to him.
âDonât you remember what happened before the accident?â she asked.
Simon was such a joke.
Diana looked at him, and continued calmly, âI shouldnât have pushed you. Even though it appears as though you hit the car of your own accord to cause this accident, I still insist I shouldnât have pushed you at such a dangerous place where traffic is heavy.â
She had been emotionally unstable at that point.
However, that wasnât enough reason for her to condone Simonâs lies!
âAt that timeâ¦â Her voice was so soft that Simon almost couldnât hear her.
Diana felt just like air to him. No matter how hard he tried, he could only sense her presence and never hold her in his arms.
He was despondent.
Sheâ¦
Never belonged to him.
âBefore the car accident, you gave me a pill laced with poison in an attempt to make me lose my memories. You didnât care at all if my body might be hurt after taking the pill,â she said with a smile, looking as if she had let go of things.
âIt was precisely because of this that I found it so repugnant to see you again at Winding Highway.
âAnd today, once again, you tried to take me away from Julian and sow discord between us. Youâ¦â
The thought of what happened just now made Diana no longer able to speak.
The lingering fear that vanished just now came crawling back again.
At that moment, Diana wanted to forget about it all.
The only thing she wanted was to leave this room.
Sheâ¦
She had taken such good care of Simon, yet all she got in return was disrespect from him!
Perhaps he had never loved her before.
What he loved was a woman who had Julianâs mark.
He had been fighting with Julian for his entire life, and had unwittingly objectified her in the process.
Even so, Simon surely wouldnât let her leave the room so easily.
At the end of the day, he shared the same blood that flowed through Julianâs veins. That was something they were bound to the moment they were born.
She couldnât possibly make Julian treat his own brother harshly.
She took a deep breath, and decided to make things clear with Simon. âOver those three years in Stirling City, did you really help me wholeheartedly? Was it reallyâ¦for my good?â
She had lost her memories. Yet Simon, who remembered everything, stayed by her side and said nothing about her past that she couldnât remember.
