Chapter 1229

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1229 “It’s still unclear,” Julian said, thinking about the pill. “They say she died from testing the drug, but Enzo…”

Enzo wasn’t involved in drug manufacturing, so why was Anna testing drugs for someone?

The answer behind it was almost obvious. Diana knew Julian was about to mention Jim again.

She immediately silenced him by covering his mouth. “Go to sleep. Don’t think about insulting Professor Hughes.”

Julian replied, “What about Enzo? Is he just going to kneel downstairs forever?”

“Yeah, let him kneel,” Diana said. “The direction he’s facing while kneeling points at the Lemmingtons’ house.”

So let him atone for one more night.

However, Enzo couldn’t kneel all night.

Julian had a very accurate biological clock, and woke up at five o’clock every day. He had set the alarm for six o’clock last night specifically for Diana.

As for himself, he woke up at five and went straight downstairs after getting ready.

Julian had considered it. Diana was pregnant now, and some things might agitate her and affect the babies. So, he wanted to handle these matters before she woke up.

Downstairs, Enzo and Tommy had been kneeling on the ground for so long without drinking any water, and they were starting to struggle. Julian approached them. He noticed that Enzo’s face had turned white, and his back was bent forward to reduce the pain in his knees.

Tommy, though in better physical condition, had been whipped and was sweating profusely in the summer night. His wounds looked like they were about to burst open, making him appear even more miserable and disheveled than Enzo.

Nevertheless, they continued to kneel. Even though they were trembling, none of them slacked off.

“How much of your company does Jim own?” Julian got straight to the point, lighting a cigarette and holding it right in front of Enzo’s nose.

He held it there like a threat. If his answer displeased Julian, his cigarette ash would fall on Enzo’s skin and burn his flesh.

If it were in the past, Enzo would have knocked the cigarette out of Julian’s hand.

This man was ruthless.

He cared about no one except Jim.

“Eighty percent,” Enzo replied. He couldn’t quite fathom Jim’s intentions, but he could tell that his actions, like kidnapping Diana’s child and injecting Julian with drugs, had upset Jim.

It was why Jim had thrown him to Julian without any intention of taking him back.

Enzo knelt in Julian’s manor, seemingly atoning for his crimes against Julian’s family. In reality, he was kneeling for Jim. He was hoping not to be reduced to a useless and abandoned pawn.

“Where is he from? When did you meet Jim? What’s his purpose for suddenly appearing in Richburgh?” Julian demanded, but Enzo remained silent.

Julian sneered. Enzo wouldn’t talk, no matter how many questions he asked.

Then again, if it were that easy, he wouldn’t have sent Noel to investigate.

However…
