Chapter 531
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
This man was undoubtedly dangerous.
Diana couldnât help but shift further away from him.
âFeigning weakness to lure the enemy,â Simon muttered in a righteous yet wicked manner. âMany women love using this tactic, but it doesnât work on me.â
Diana was speechless. Her previous judgment about this man had been completely wrong.
He wasnât just a crazed man. He was an extremely narcissistic maniac!
She was stunned by his behavior, and the only thing she could say was his name. âMr. Channing.â
Even though Oliver and Simon had the same surname, the difference between them was vast.
A playful look flashed in Simonâs eyes. âWeâve only met once, but youâve already memorized my name.â
All in all, he concluded that Diana was interested in him.
âIt seems I have far greater charm than Oliver, no?â
He looked at her as if she were a doll, with a disrespectful leer that made Diana very uncomfortable.
She almost shifted to the edge of the seat, but she couldnât escape the dangerous aura emanating from this man.
However, she also noticed something.
The more she tried to escape and showed signs of retreat, the more evident the teasing look in this manâs eyes became.
She had no choice but to straighten her back, pretend she wasnât afraid of anything, and avoid thinking about the trauma left by that scumbag Luke.â What charm?â
Simon chuckled, using the folding fan to lift her chin, his face inching closer to Dianaâs.
This move was too much!
She took on a defensive stance out of fear, and slammed her handbag right into him.
âDonât come any closer!â
Simon felt the blow thoroughly, and saw stars for a moment. He pressed his tongue to his cheeks inside his mouth, and the sinister feeling from him grew even stronger.
âYouâre the first woman who has the guts to strike me like this.â
His gaze was icy. It differed from Julianâs chilling gaze, as his eyes leaned towards a more cunning and sinister coldness.
It was an intense gaze that sent shivers down the spine of any unfortunate recipient. It was so severe that no matter how good-looking his face was, people would overlook his handsomeness and instead focus on self preservation.
And right now, Diana was now desperately trying to protect herself by any means necessary.
She forced herself to stay calm, gripping her handbag tightly until her fingernails turned blue.
Then, she gathered the courage to speak up.
âI want to get out of the car.â
âGet out?â Simon quickly stretched his leg to block the space between Diana and the car door.
He glanced at her and sneered, âDo you think Iâm an amusement park where you can come and go as you please?â
Diana wasnât stupid. She no longer had naive thoughts, and immediately understood what was going on.
Simon was up to no good.
Even if she hadnât gotten in the wrong car, she was certain she would still be forced into his car today.
She simply couldnt fathom exactly what this man was up to.
After thinking for a bit, she said, âIâll tell your brother.â
Simon reacted to her words as if he had heard an amusing joke.
His tense face suddenly broke into a smile. With that smile, the coldness dissipated, and he finally exuded a bit of charm.
Diana couldnât help but relax a little.
It was only then, belatedly, that she realized her tone just now sounded exactly like students who used to snitch to their teachersâ¦
Feeling a little embarrassed, her eyes glistened as if they were moist, giving off a sparkling and captivating allure.
âWhat a fascinating woman,â Simon commented.
Diana frowned. âI really will tell your brother.â
Oliver did say that if Simon caused her any trouble, she should let him know.
This shouldnât be considered tattling.
It was more like taking precautions.
However, she didnât expect the man before her to become even more excited when she repeated her threats.
âWhat will you tell him?â Simon asked eagerly, leaning closer to her again, his tone taking on an ambiguous quality.
If it werenât for those sinister eyesâ¦
If it werenât for Diana having already encountered someone like Julian, she couldnât guarantee she wouldnât lose her composure under the manâs extreme audacity.
He leaned closer and closer to Diana, his playful intentions evident in his eyes.
Then, he chuckled. âAre you going to tell him Iâve taken a liking to you?â
