Chapter 430

Sadly, Julian didn’t see her at all.

Diana had hidden behind a wall, carefully and clearly memorizing Julian’s smile.

Was it that great to be with Kayla?

That nasty man who kept insisting she needed to be disinfected, had turned into a gentle and indulgent man with a bright smile on his lips.

In his heart…

Had he ever thought about her and their babies at all whenever he was with Kayla?

Diana felt a terrible pang shoot through her heart; she grew even more determined to secure an investment for her studio and get through this challenging period.

She had to…

She had to have the power to compete with Julian, crush Kayla, and make that witch kneel at the grave of her babies and apologize!

Diana walked away with her heels clicking as she did, leaving only cold indifference in her eyes.

Julian, on the other hand, hadn’t noticed Diana. His smile vanished when he turned to see Kayla.

His face turned hard and cold like an ice sculpture, with an indescribably frightening chill radiating from him.

Kayla couldn’t help but shiver.

“J–Julian, don’t be angry…okay?” Kayla said, swallowing harshly. “I’ve been trying to contact you for the past few days, but Noel kept saying you don’t want to see me.”

Julian shot her a flat look.

“Since you know I don’t want to see you, why are you here?”

“I…” Kayla stammered nervously. She pulled out a file with photos, audio and video recordings, and all sorts of other things. She fumbled around like a girl who was being bullied.

Back in school, this was how she acted when she had been bullied and didn’t have Julian’s protection.

For a moment, the memory struck a chord in Julian. He lowered his eyes, his tone improving slightly as he asked, “What is this?”

Kayla, who had her head lowered, heard the slight change in his tone and immediately smirked smugly.

But when she looked up, the helpless look reappeared on her face once again. She said demurely, “This is the information and evidence of the people who framed my sister.”

Kayla pulled Marvin Trotter’s picture out and said, “I know my sister started building a solo business after she left Esteem Creations. I’ve been keeping an eye on her, but don’t worry, I absolutely wouldn’t harm her. I just… I feel really guilty about the babies. That’s why I kept an eye on her. We’re all in the same industry, so I thought I could help her one day…

Julian hummed indifferently. It wasn’t that he was impressed by Kayla’s words; rather, he did recognize the man in the photo.

It was the same man who had thrown bait at Diana not too long ago..

Only, Julian hadn’t expected this man to be the mastermind behind Diana’s downfall. Hadn’t he set up a trap and was simply waiting for Diana to fall for it?

This was very common in the business world. Many experienced people would use the same method to trap women who were new to the industry, but Julian hadn’t expected Diana to be targeted so quickly.

This was why he hadn’t been in such a hurry to have Noel investigate the reason behind Diana’s studio incident. In fact, Julian had even considered if it was Kayla who had contacted Diana’s landlord to pull this stunt.

To his surprise, Kayla really was actually helping Diana this time.

He couldn’t help but soften toward Kayla a little. His face didn’t look so cold anymore, and he even took the information Kayla offered him.

“Thanks, you’ve worked hard. Just leave the rest to me.”

“Okay!”

Kayla looked elated to have helped Diana. She beamed and said determinedly, “Thank you, Julian, for being willing to listen to me and giving me a chance to redeem myself!”

Julian gave her a condescending look, as if trying to see through her. His next words were icy. “No one has the right to give you a chance to redeem yourself except Diana.”

In turn, Kayla felt like someone had poured freezingly cold water all over her, dousing her smugness along with it.

“Julian… Can’t you forgive me? Yes, I had something to do with the babies dying, but I’m not the only reason…!”

What Julian couldn’t listen to the most was her trying to justify and defend herself in this incident.

Sure, Kayla drugging Diana wasn’t the main reason it happened. However, the fact remained that it was still one of the reasons!

And that made it unforgivable to Julian and Diana!

It wasn’t enough for Kayla to be humble; and yet, for her to actually think that she deserved forgiveness?

Julian stared hard at Kayla’s face, which was makeup–free this time, and thought she was lucky to be obedient enough not to imitate Diana’s appearance again. Otherwise, he might not be able to resist pushing her face into water, regardless of the fact that she had once saved his life when he was a child.

Julian’s voice was akin to the winds of the tundra. “You should stop and save whatever dignity you have left.”

In other words, he didn’t want to hear anything about his babies coming from her mouth ever again.

She didn’t have the right!
