Chapter 1130

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1130-Upon hearing this, Sue’s recently relaxed expression turned sour once more.

“Diana Winnington!”

“This is Ms. Jarvis’s and Julian’s shared wish,” Diana continued, explaining her purpose without being influenced by Sue’s attitude. “Please, grant us this.”

“Grant?” Sue nearly crushed the teacup in her hand. “You and Julian Fulcher are going too far!”

As she spoke, she slammed the teacup onto the table and hurled it toward Diana.

Fortunately, Diana was prepared. She leaned to the side, and the teacup barely grazed past her ear.

Diana remained unharmed, but her gaze suddenly became sharp. “Mrs. Jarvis.”

Since Sue wasn’t willing to have a civil conversation, Diana had no choice but to say the words she didn’t want to say, forcing Sue to compromise.

Although the Jarvis family wasn’t on the same level as the Fulcher family, they were still a well-known, prestigious family in Richburgh. When they purchased the Northern City Manor in Richburgh, it caused quite a stir. Over the years, they had seen, used, and experienced much more than the average person.

This was the first time Sue had felt such a fierce and intimidating gaze from a young woman.

Sue leaned back slightly in her chair, but her spine involuntarily straightened. She spoke with a dignified tone. After all, she was the experienced lady of the Jarvis family.

“What is it?”

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it carried authority.

Diana smiled, the sharpness of her gaze undiminished.” Don’t you understand by now? The fact that I’m here means you only have one option-agree to cancel the engagement.”

Diana was being too audacious!

“Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me that way?” Sue pounded the table. In a fit of anger, her face even turned slightly red.

“I am Julian’s beloved,” Diana stated firmly, “and someone who understands Cecilia’s feelings.”

She sighed, her words carrying weight.

“Though I’m much younger than you, I’m also a mother. I have a daughter. I can empathize with what you’ve planned for Cecilia. We all want the best for our children, but Julian isn’t the right fit for her.”

Sue was taken aback by her words, and asked instinctively,” Why?”

“Because the person he loves is me, and he will only love me in this life,” Diana replied, smiling gently.

Diana and Julian were more committed than ever, but this resolve stung Sue deeply. She felt wronged for her daughter. Perhaps Diana’s arrogance had pushed Cecilia to the breaking point and made Cecilia attack her in the first place!

“You’re just his former wife! Yet, you have the nerve to say such things,” Sue said, looking at Diana with a mocking expression. “If Julian loves you so much, why did he divorce you? Why did he let you leave him for three years, pregnant with his children?”

“We had some misunderstandings before,” Diana replied earnestly. “As for the reasons behind my disappearance for those three years, it was to save Julian’s life.”

She then explained her deal with Kiki sincerely.

“Do you really think, under these circumstances, that Julian would marry Cecilia? Besides, you know that Ms. Jarvis’s current affection lies with Noel Carter.”

Sue listened, and the mockery in her smile deepened. She had overestimated Diana. What could a young woman like her do? Diana was all talk.

But Sue was determined to teach Diana some manners on behalf of her daughter, who was supposed to marry Julian.

So she said patiently to Diana, “Are you implying that if I don’t agree to cancel the engagement, it’ll end up breaking two couples in love?”

Diana nodded.

Sue’s smile grew even more pronounced, and she tapped her fingers on the table twice.

“So what if I break them up? What can you do? Julian is the prospective son-in-law chosen by the Jarvis family, alongside my husband and me. As for Noel… Well, we Jarvises won’t acknowledge him!”

“Fortunately, Noel knows his place,” Sue went on. She thought of her conversation with him last night, and felt somewhat relieved.

“He knows he’s not worthy of Cecilia. In this regard, he’s a lot better than you.”
