Chapter 1141
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife chapter 1141 Sue didnât even say much. She simply told Diana that Shiloh couldnât be trusted, and that she hoped there wouldnât come a time Diana begged at her doorstep.
Diana composed herself, and made sure she sounded normal before saying, âSue⦠I mean, Mrs.
Jarvis. Is she very powerful?â
âMrs. Jarvis?â
Julian paused for a moment, as if finding it strange that Diana suddenly asked that. But very soon, he gave her his professional analysis.
âMrs. Jarvis, or Sue Chimmery, came from a family of scholars in Jacroaof. Centuries ago, their ancestors went abroad to further their studies. They then returned to Jacroaof to train many scientists, philosophers, and others who were meritorious in their service to the country. They can be said to be a prominent family with a very low profile.
âWhen she married Ceciliaâs father, their marriage was seen as a union between two powerful families.
The Jarvis family was also seen as a literary family, but they appeared greater in scale compared to the Chimmery family that focused more on honing talents in their own family.â
âHow were they greater in scale?â Diana asked.
âUnlike the Chimmery family who only selects and trains elites only from their bloodline, the Jarvis family trains students of various abilities and knowledge. They pay close attention to young talent programs in remote regions, and have students from all over the world.â
âWhat does that have to do with Sue?â
The moment she asked that, Julian knew Diana didnât understand what he had been saying.
âYouâve always been smart. Why canât you see it this time?â Julian said with a smile. âBe it Sue or the Jarvises, who they specifically are isnât important. What matters is their family name. The combination of being a daughter of the Chimmery family and the daughter-in-law of the Jarvises is enough for Sue to possess the best intelligence network in the world.â
âIntelligence network?â Dianaâs brows furrowed.
Seeing her confusion, Julian said, âLetâs say you want to know something, or look into someone. With the Jarvisesâ
approval, youâll definitely get all the information you want.â
âThen why didnât you go to the Jarvises for help to look for me?â
Thinking back on the three years she was forced to spend in Stirling City, Diana felt indignant.
She had willingly struck a deal with Kiki Stewart, lost her memories in the process, and left her home in exchange for a chance for Julian to survive. Now that she was finally by his side and her happy days had returned, she felt she had suffered too much in those three years.
âHow strange,â she said, amused. âIn the past, I never thought that taking care of the twins by myself was hard. I didnât think it was unfair at all.â
Yet now, she found herself feeling frustrated pretty often. In fact, she got quite angry when Julian told her that the Jarvises had a huge intelligence network.
She pinched Julianâs face mischievously. âTell me. Why didnât you go to the Jarvises?â
âDid you think Simon took you to Stirling City purely by chance?â Julian asked, smiling. He didnât mind Dianaâs hand on his face, allowing her to rub and knead it.
Diana shook her head. âNoâ¦â
Simon must have planned where he would take her with great caution.
âThatâs right. Stirling City is located along the border, and was governed differently. Itâs not an area the Jarvises would get involved with,â Julian said.
They couldnât bear to let the outstanding talents they painstakingly trained to be implicated or hurt in any way, just for the sake of gaining intelligence.
Diana nodded in understanding. âTrue, the border has different rules.â
Julian and Diana chatted on the road, and eventually arrived at the police station.
âLetâs get out.â Julian opened the door for Diana, blocking the edge of the door to prevent her from bumping her head.
Diana had long gotten used to his considerate habits. When they were married, he had been so good to her. That was how she fell so deeply in love with him, she almost lost herself.
They exchanged glances, held each otherâs hands, and walked into the police station.
The police already knew that Julian was coming today. The leaders had arranged for someone to receive and host them.
âMr. Fulcher.â
Julian nodded, and signaled for him to sit down. âWeâre just here to talk about Matt Hughes. Donât be nervous.â
The officer nodded, and relaxed. He took out all the information he could find on the case regarding Matt Hughes.
Julian skimmed through them. âIs this all?â
