Chapter 1170

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1170 Vans grew up in an unremarkable manner, seemingly the weakest presence among Lionel’s children.

He even forsook the Stanley family’s business to become a doctor.

This seemingly worthless young man eased Jessica’s anxiety.

She was determined to ensure that the next heir of the Stanley family was her own child. Only then could she bear the anger she had been cheated by the Stanley family years ago.

After Vans came of age and demonstrated his unremarkable nature, his mother was finally allowed to move from the dark and sunless basement into a normal house.

“I remember it very clearly,” Vans said. “The day I moved her into a normal house, my mom didn’t dare to even open her eyes.”

Compared to the underground basement, the rooms upstairs were too bright. It made her eyes tear up.

Nina cried—she felt deep sorrow for Lillian and Vans.

She didn’t know where to put her hand, but she held him tightly and said, ‘Vans, please, don’t say anything more.”

But Vans continued, “I know she did it all for me.”

For so many years, she brainwashed herself into believing she loved Lionel. She made herself believe that he was the reason she couldn’t leave the Stanley family.

But at the same time, she hated him deeply.

She hated that he embodied her deepest shame.

But she couldn’t do anything.

She could only keep running from reality.

She loved her child fiercely. At the same time, she also convinced herself that she couldn’t leave the Stanley family or Vans.

Likewise, Vans couldn’t abandon her.

“Fortunately,” he took a deep breath, “she’s living much better now.”

At least now, she could live like a normal person. She had a house to live in and warm meals to eat.

Because Vans was obedient enough, Lionel sometimes even took her out shopping.

Lillian was happy.

Until now, even Vans himself couldn’t quite figure out the feelings his mother had for Lionel.

“You’re not a child of a mistress,” Nina said after listening.” Your mom was pregnant with you because the Stanley family was too despicable!”

That was what forced Lillian into being a mistress. The real mistress should be the current Mrs.

Stanley, Jessica! That jeweler’s daughter was the one at fault!

But…

Nina’s mood suddenly hit rock bottom.

She and Vans now… Weren’t they also living under the shadow of his parents and Jessica Taylor?

The only difference was that Nina was luckier. Her beginning with Vans wasn’t forced; it was a match of mutual affection.

Vans put her down on the table. He stood next to her, and said in a grave tone, “I shouldn’t have gotten involved with you.

You can leave now, Nina. You…shouldn’t appear in my world anymore.”

When Enzo returned home, Lina was waiting for him.

“Enzo!”

Lina hurriedly took his coat the moment she saw him, slapping the servant who rushed to do so.

“Get lost! Can’t you see I’m helping my brother with his coat? What are you doing here?” she screamed.

Enzo seemed accustomed to her behavior.
