Chapter 1131
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife chapter 1131-This implied that Diana lacked self-awareness, and wasnât a suitable match for Julian at all.
âWhether Julian and I are a match or Noel and Ms. Jarvis are a match, it has nothing to do with you. Itâs solely up to the parties involved,â Diana stated firmly.
Sue listened, and chuckled coldly. âItâs truly appalling that even a mistress like you can shamelessly say so much in front of me, the Fulchersâ prospective mother-in-law. Diana Winnington, you better know your place! Cecilia will definitely marry Mr. Fulcher and become Mrs. Fulcher!â
âDoesnât it matter who your daughter truly loves? Doesnât her happiness matter to you?â
Sue had her own convictions. âWhy wouldnât it matter? A woman is happier when she marries well, far better than marrying poorly.â
âWhat does it mean to marry well?â
âOf courseâ¦â Sue began, but then changed her tone. âI donât need to tell you so much. As long as you understand your place! Donât become a mistress that everyone scorns!â
Diana, despite hearing all these harsh words, remained calm and composed. âNot necessarily. I wonât become a mistress, but your daughter on the other handâ¦â
Her voice trailed, as if she dared not continue speaking.
Sue smiled, and offered a judgment. âI knew it. A daughter that the Winningtons themselves refuse to acknowledge canât hold her head high.â
Hearing her mention the Winningtons, Dianaâs expression changed subtly. She cleared her throat.
Then, without hesitation, she took a mirror out of her bag and aimed it at her cheek.
She asked Sue casually, âHave you seen the marks on my face?â
âOf course Iâve seen them,â Sue sneered, as if mocking Dianaâs audacity.
Diana had been slapped, but she still had the nerve to flaunt herself in front of her. If it were Sue, she would have hidden and avoided people altogether.
In the end, Diana simply lacked shame. If she had any sense of shame, she wouldnât be clinging to Julian like this.
Sue felt that even sitting here with Diana tainted the Jarvis familyâs long-standing etiquette and reputation.
âThereâs nothing more to say between us,â Sue said firmly.
Conversing further with such a shameless fool would only further mar her dignity. With that, Sue attempted to get up and leave.
However, Diana stopped her, and spoke louder than before,â Now that youâve seen it, can others see it too?â
Sueâs eyes widened, and she looked at Diana with slight anger.
âWhat do you mean by that, Ms. Winnington?â
âMs. Jarvis of the Jarvis family appears dignified and elegant, yet she resorted to violence against me, causing my face to look like this. Say, what would others say if they knew about this?â Diana smiled, looking quite threatening.
The marks on Dianaâs face were evidence.
âSome might say Ms. Jarvis was angry, while others might say she went mad,â Diana continued.
âWhich one do you think would attract more attention and spread faster?â
Sue quickly caught on. âAre you threatening me?â
Diana nodded. âYes. And this slap mark on my face? I willingly let Cecilia strike me, and she did. If you donât believe me, you can ask her.â
Who would willingly let someone hit them?
Sue narrowed her eyes, her expression filled with confusion.
âWhy would you do this?â
Sue was almost where Diana wanted her.
Diana had anticipated every question and look from Sue. She shrugged nonchalantly, and gave the reason she had long prepared in her heart.
âBecause this is the only way I can have evidence to make everyone gossip. Itâs the only way to make you Jarvises cancel the engagement willingly. To put it plainly, if you disagree, Iâll spread the word that Ms. Jarvis has gone mad far and wide. Julian may be unwilling to harm Ms. Jarvisâs reputation, as Iâm sure youâve figured it out by now, butâ¦â
She touched her cheek where the red mark stood out brightly, her smile bordering on madness.
âI, Diana Winnington, am definitely capable and willing to do so!â
