Chapter 510
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
It was also the first time Diana felt the extent of her parentâs favoritism could never be corrected.
She shouldnât have ever tried to compete with Kayla for their affection or attention, and she definitely shouldnât have tried to sow discord in that family.
They were all rotten to the core, and should all rot together in the same family!
Diana didnât need such people as family, and she didnât need to get Kayla punished by using James and Kate either.
Instead, she wanted Kayla to understand first hand that one had to face the consequences when one did something wrong.
Since Kaylaâs parents hadnât educated her about this fact, then Diana would do it in their stead.
With that thought burning in mind, Diana grabbed the basin and poured its entire contents right on Kaylaâs face, causing the latter to scream in agony.
âDiana! Youâre being unreasonable!â
She had already exposed Jamesâs part in this, so why did this b*tch still insist on targeting only her?
âUnreasonable?â Diana repeated, then burst out laughing. âHave you ever been reasonable with me?
Since I was a child when James deliberately lost me, until you dug up the graves of my children and scattered their ashes⦠Have any of you ever been reasonable with me?!â
James deserved to be punished, but that didnât mean Kayla was off the hook either!
Diana seemed thoroughly enraged as she repeatedly and tirelessly poured salt water all over Kaylaâs wound.
After doing so ten consecutive times, the wound on Kaylaâs face had a white tinge on the edges.
It was the effect from the saltwater.
Even if a miracle doctor came to Kayla now, saving her face would be near impossible.
âI care about my babies, and youâve destroyed everything I cherished about them. Now, Iâve destroyed what all girls care about⦠Your face.â
Diana looked straight into Kaylaâs eyes as she spoke, her gaze severe and unflinching.
âWhat all girls care about? My face?!â
At this point, Kayla had stopped crying and pleading with Diana anymore.
She understood that she had practically rubbed salt into a raw spot of Dianaâs.
But even if she had the chance to do it all over again, she would still take it.
The only thing that mattered to her was to ensure Diana was forever miserable.
âDo you think I care about something like this?â Kayla barked. âItâs clearly something you care about, not me! Youâre affected because Julian married you just because of your face! You care about it, as you became my substitute because of your face! Are you seeking revenge for your babies, or are you venting your own anger? Hah! In that regard, it looks like youâre more shameless than I am!â
Diana was stunned by Kaylaâs words.
She had to admit, Kayla had hit a sore spot. If it werenât for this face, or for the fact that she had been treated as Kaylaâs substitute, Diana wouldnât have met Julian. She wouldnât have gotten pregnant, and she wouldnât have needed to let her babies go through so much pain either.
She was the most unqualified mother in the world.
But as long as someone hurt her babies, no matter how unqualified she was, she would fight with all her might to protect them.
Kaylaâs insults couldnât shake this determination in her heart.
Dianaâs eyes were full of mockery as she sneered, âOh, Kayla. Youâre pathetic.â
Kayla saw that Diana was unmoved by her words, and could no longer find any angle of attack. So, she could only resign to her fate and say, âHow am I pathetic?â
In terms of family background, she was indeed worse off than Diana at first. But now, she was the true lady of the Winnington family!
In terms of parental love, though Diana was James and Kateâs birth daughter, Kate had always favored Kayla more.
As for men, though Julian had married Diana, they were now divorced. While he did still love Diana, he and Diana didnât even recognize their feelings for each other.
In fact, Diana even assumed that Julianâs true love was Kayla.
The pain of loving someone and not being able to have them, while they filled oneâs thoughts all day and nightâ¦
Kayla understood it better than Diana ever could.
