Chapter 532
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
In Dianaâs mind, alarm bells were going off like crazy.
She once again raised the paper bag in her hand and threw it wildly at Simon.
However, her blows were like raindrops. They were consistent, but not painful.
Simon rubbed his chin, tilting his head slightly to the side as he stared at her. A faint smile still tugged on his lips, and there was a touch of an indecipherable emotion in it.
His eyes were swirling with a mix of emotions as he said, âYouâre the first woman who dares to hit me a second time.â
Instantly, he firmly gripped her chin. âSo, tell me. Will you tell my brother that Iâve taken a liking to you?
That Iâm out to steal you from him?â
âGet off me!â
There was a distinct pain in Dianaâs chin, and her face was red from anger.
Despite how tightly Simon restrained her, she shoved hard at him.
âLet me goâ¦!â
However, that did nothing but make Simon tighten his grip even more.
For a moment, Diana thought she was going to suffocate.
She was certain this man was only joking about being interested in her. He was definitely not a good person. And the more she mentioned Oliver, the more riled up he got.
With a sudden realization, she quickly said, âJulian! I want to see Julian! Let go of me!â
âJulianâ¦â Diana heard Simon mutter, and then he chuckled softly. âYou want to see Julian instead of Oliver?â
Diana shook her head. âI wonât see Oliver. And I wonât tell him about this, either.â
She didnât want to trigger this crazy manâs rebellious mindset again.
âAlright. Iâll take you there,â Simon said with a smile, as if satisfied with her answer.
Yet, there was a sinister darkness in his eyes that Diana couldnât see.
Right now, all she wanted was to escape this dangerous man. She was desperate to the point that compared to this man, Julian no longer seemed annoying to her.
The car sped away.
Both in his driving and personality, Simon exuded an indescribable sinister aura, as if he had abandoned all regard for life.
The speed at which he drove was terrifying.
Diana gripped the handle inside the car tightly. When she got out, her legs were weak.
âWeâre here,â Simon said bluntly as he pushed her out, his gaze already shifting towards the villa.
âJulianâs home. You wanted to see him, right? And this is the right place?â
They were both part of the same circle, so it didnât seem strange that he knew Julianâs address.
Diana didnât think too much about it and replied, âYes. This is the right place.â
However, she had no intention of going inside. She simply wanted to use Julianâs name to get Simon to back off.
Unexpectedly, Simon stared at her intently and asked, âWhy arenât you heading in?â
He suddenly snapped open the folding fan in his hand, making a sharp sound that was particularly piercing in the dark of the night.
The lights in the villa were still on. Judging by the room it came from, it was probably the master bedroom that she and Julian used to occupy.
If she went in now, she probably wouldnât be kicked out.
But⦠What would be her reason for going in?
Even if she wanted to become a substitute for Kayla, she didnât expect to assume that role so quickly.
Diana needed some time to find a balance in her interactions with Julian, instead of being forced by Simon to hurry and act as if she were on stage.
Displeasure bloomed in Simonâs eyes when he saw her still standing at the entrance. âDid you lie to me?â
When he snapped the fan in his hand open and close agitatedly, it felt like he was trying to pull someoneâs heart out according to the rhythm. Each time it opened and closed, it made oneâs heart ache.
This man was truly more dangerous than Luke.
At least with Luke, his motives were clear. However, Simonâs actions and words were unpredictable.
Diana considered her situation. Confronting Simon like this wasnât a solution, and it was best if she could put more distance between them for now.
âI hate being lied to,â Simon said as he closed his folding fan.
His slender fingers twitched slightly, as if he would grab her chin again and cut off her breathing mercilessly.
That feeling of suffocation returned.
