Chapter 1458

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1458 Jim had pinned down Diana’s hands. She lay on the pristine white bed in a posture of absolute suppression.

Jim firmly restrained her hands and feet.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly just now, Diana might have hit the back of his head with the table lamp within her reach.

This woman…

Jim was speechless, not understanding why Diana would treat him this way.

“Have I treated you badly?”

He provided her with food and drink, noticed her unhappiness in Richburgh, helped her purchase tickets to Jacroaof, and now, in order to ensure her stable pregnancy, he had even booked an entire hotel.

Jim took a deep breath. He loosened his grip on Diana’s hand slightly, his gaze calmly falling on her abdomen. When he spoke again, he sounded quite upset.

“I even told you about your background, and brought James to you.”

The man in front of Diana appeared sophisticated and refined. If it weren’t for the disturbing and unbelievable words she heard just now, and if he wasn’t currently controlling her, she might once again believe that this man was a polite professor.

Yet, he wasn’t.

Even though he held an honorary position at the university, he was actually the Hughes family’s heir and a researcher. He was a demon without normal morals or humane thoughts.

Diana took a deep breath, holding back the tears in her reddened eyes. She looked at Betty, who had already opened her eyes beside her.

“Shh, be a good girl.”

She forced a smile, afraid that her current appearance would frighten her daughter.

Jim clearly lacked this awareness.

His thoughts were straightforward. He only wanted to control Diana so she wouldn’t hurt him again.

As for Betty…

He didn’t care too much about what she thought, and what would happen in the future. She wasn’t the child he had chosen.

What he wanted was a blank canvas of a child, one raised entirely by him. Only such a child would be the best experimental tool.

He was determined to create the most effective medicine with Diana’s unborn child. He strove to achieve results similar to a genetic key, allowing him to decide and manipulate people’s memories freely.

It could be said that both he and his mother have spent their entire lives working tirelessly for this matter.

Once this achievement was completed and announced internationally, it would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation.

People all over the world would start to value traditional medicine. Their names would go down in history.

On the other hand, Diana didn’t know what was on Jim’s mind. Right now, she was afraid that what was happening right now would once again traumatize Betty.

Unexpectedly, the usually obedient Betty refused to comply.

“Mommy, I’m not leaving!”

She rushed into the bathroom, and came out with a broom. Her face was no longer as timid as when she was younger, but rather like a little warrior.

She charged at Jim. “You let go of my mommy!”

Before Sean went to the training camp, Betty secretly said goodbye to Sean one night. He had told her that after he left, it would be up to her to take care of Diana.

However, in recent days, Betty still couldn’t bear the responsibility of taking care of her mother. Normally, Diana took care of her more.

But now, a bad man had pinned her mommy down!

Her mommy’s hands were red, and Betty felt heartbroken.

Sniffling, she tightened her grip on the broom in her hand and shouted, “You bad man! Let go of my mommy!”

Betty wielded the broom like a weapon, striking Jim directly on the back of the head. It was the same spot Diana had tried to attack but had failed earlier, and Betty took advantage of the opportunity to hit him there.

Jim didn’t expect such strong hostility from a little girl, and was genuinely angry.

“Diana, you’ve failed in your raising your children. When your child is born, I’ll take one away. You should be grateful to me. r» Diana listened to him, resentful, but dared not speak.

At this moment, Jim’s eyes fell on Betty-cold, emotionless, with destructive intent.
