Chapter 1174

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1174 Lina immediately screamed at the top of her lungs. Her painful shouts echoed in the sky.

“Arghhhh! Damn it all! You bastards!”

The moment she said that, her bodyguards, who were all beaten down on the floor, immediately got ready to attack again.

This time, their target shifted from Diana to the defenseless old professor and his wife. They were advanced in years, and looked easier to deal with.

In fact, the elderly pair were trembling. They were an easy target indeed.

Julian stood in front of them, blocking off all potential attacks.

At that instant, Diana heard the sound of breaking bones ringing in the air. He had moved so quickly, she didn’t even see how he did it. It sent chills down her spine.

“Don’t touch my friends,” Julian warned, as he turned to look at Diana. “Why fear?”

In Richburgh, no one was stronger than him.

No matter how arrogant and impressive Enzo was, Julian refused to have anything to do with him if Enzo was corrupt. All the more he wouldn’t fear Enzo!

There was no need for Diana to collapse on the floor and pretend she was injured to give Julian a reason to counterattack.

He was infuriated.

He was angry that Diana thought he wasn’t strong enough for her to do as she pleased in Richburgh.

Everyone there shook in fear.

The men Lina brought with were just bodyguards, unlike those whom Julian brought with. Julian’s bodyguards had experienced bloodshed and intense battles at a young age, in order to protect the Fulcher family assets.

Though Julian did go to school when he was young, he clearly led a different life from that of his classmates.

They were able to peacefully and leisurely enjoy their life as students.

On the other hand, Julian’s mind was filled with thoughts of defense. If there were any loopholes in his defense, he might even end up dead on his way home.

If he died, the Fulchers’ vast assets would land in another’s hand.

During those years, Julian even got himself involved with the mafia.

Over recent years, he didn’t exhibit his vicious side honed when he was younger, for fear he might implicate his family’s property.

Anyway, everyone there was shocked to see Julian fighting so viciously.

Even Lina stopped screaming, and her sobs died down. Her wrist was dangling loosely from her arm, a painful sight to behold.

Water was also dripping everywhere from her body and clothes. Heat emitted from her body on this cold winter day, just like a steamed bun hot out of the oven.

The old professor explained himself, “It’s not boiling water. I wanted to bring it to my wife in the bedroom to wash her hands.”

Until now, the kind old professor with a sorrowful gaze never expressed an ounce of sympathy toward Lina. In fact, when he saw the stool next to her, he grew even more agitated.

His wife Winnie was clutching her chest, clearly in great pain.

Diana glanced at Julian, hinting that they should quickly help the old professor’s wife back to her room.

Seeing everyone leave, Lina followed them to the room as well. “Mr. Fulcher, you… I…”

Julian looked at Lina, and she immediately stopped talking. Tears continued streaming down her face.

Diana was tickled pink to see it. Her amused smile melted Julian’s taut face.

He turned to Lina, and finally said, “Speak.
