Chapter 1186
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Ian yelled, âWhere is my daughter? Where is Anna?! You two have already returned to the country, so why hasnât she come to visit us yet? What exactly did you do to bewitch her? Give me back my daughter!â
His heartbroken interrogation made Enzo change his mind.
He smiled as he casually pushed Ianâs hand away from his pants, and replied in a low voice, âAnnaâ¦â
Then, he laughed. âHahaha! You stupid old man! Do you still think Anna is alive?â
Ianâs face turned ashen. âYou⦠What do you mean by that?!â
âNothing,â Enzo said, âIâm just telling you this out of the kindness of my heart. I had enough of sleeping with that ugly daughter of yours. Since I got tired of her, she died.â
âYou bastard! Bastard!â
Enzo crouched to Ianâs shoulders, and whispered into his ear, âI wasnât the one who killed her. She loved me so much, she was willing to test some trial drugs for me.â
Viciousness seeped through every word he spoke. It sent chills down Ianâs spine.
Enzo went on, âShe died from trying out drugs.â
Ianâs eyes turned bloodshot. He was on the verge of collapse. He grabbed Enzo once again, struggling to strangle the latter.
âYouâre spouting nonsense! Give me back my daughter! Give me back my daughter!â
âI can,â Enzo said. One of his bodyguards subdued Ian.
Enzo went on, âGo to hell, and youâll find her there. Thatâs a way to return her to you, right? Ian Lemmington, Iâm in no mood to lie to you. Your daughter is really dead. All of your students know about it. Anna Lemmington never went abroad!â
Ian was about to collapse.
How could it be possible?! How could it be?
The sudden collapse of his spiritual pillar of support made him struggle like a fish out of water.
âYouâre lying to meâ¦youâre lying!â
âIâm not lying to you,â Enzo said, caressing the scratch marks on his face.
He looked back at the familiar house, and reminded Ian in a tone of mock kindness, âShe was in a terrible state when she died. She ingested such a large pill, and the toxins even eroded her birthmark such that it turned a purplish red color. Seriously⦠She looked even uglier than she usually did.
âOnly you and your wife would treat such an ugly woman as treasure.
âHaha!
âBack then, you two didnât approve of me trying to date her.
You kept your guard up like Iâm a thief.
âHaha!
âIf you hadnât stopped me, for all you knowâ¦â
Ianâs eyes shone.
If he hadnât stopped them back then, would his precious daughter be good together with Enzo?
Was he wrong?
At the next moment, Enzo smashed his thoughts to smithereens. âIf you hadnât stopped me, your precious ugly daughter might have died even earlier. Hahahaâ¦!â
Ian was still in shock, even after Enzoâs entourage disappeared in the distance.
He finally understood everything.
His daughter had never gone overseas.
There was no pursuit whatsoever.
Enzo Jennings had decided right from the start that he wanted his precious daughter to trial his drugs.
Anna never got an ounce of love from Enzo, even till her death.
That silly girl!
Stupid, silly girl!
âPfft!â
Fire burned in Ianâs chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. It formed a shocking contrast against the concrete at the main entrance.
It was this shocking sight that greeted Winnie when she walked out.
Her husband, who always looked clean and tidy, was all disheveled. Bits of mushed orange and blood hung from the corner of his lips.
Winnieâs knees almost gave way.
She immediately crouched low, and helped her husband up. Her fingers were trembling, and she was too frightened to touch his shirt.
âIan, Ianâ¦â
