Chapter 585

As Diana heard the door click shut and lock, she grew even more uneasy. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t escape because the storage room didn’t even have windows.

Meanwhile, Julian was waiting at the villa for news from Noel.

After a sleepless night, the call finally came.

’Sir…”

Upon hearing Noel’s tone, Julian’s heart sank. “Is there still no sign of them? ■

‘ No,” Noel replied apologetically. “I apologize, sir. It’s my fault. I’m incompetent.”

Their influence spread throughout Richburgh, yet they couldn’t even find two women!

Julian felt increasingly frustrated, but had to accept the hard reality.” Forget it.”

In this world, not everything would go according to his wishes. Ever since he realized his feelings for Diana, he had become more aware of his limitations as an individual.

‘I’ll marry her.”

As long as he married Kayla, she would tell him the whereabouts of Diana and Madam Fulcher, and they would be safe.

‘ But sir…” Noel felt it unfair to Julian.

Julian was an invincible boss to him, and the man had never faced such a threat before!

‘There’s no buts,” Julian said flatly. “I lost in this match against Kayla, and that’s a fact.’

When one lost, it is necessary to accept the punishment from the winner…

And marrying Kayla was Julian’s punishment.

Despite that, this wedding wasn’t like what Kayla had imagined, where everything followed her wishes.

There was no traditional ceremony, not even an exchange of vows. Also, Julian only came out of his room when Kayla arrived at the villa.

The first thing he said was, “Are Diana and Grandma safe?”

And the second thing was, “I want to talk to them again.’

Due to her excitement, Kayla had barely slept all night. She started doing her makeup at three in the morning, resulting in her bridal look today. Her wedding dress was carefully selected, and the veil on her face didn’t appear excessive. Instead, it added a touch of mysterious beauty to her overall appearance.

Unfortunately, her eyebrows and eyes were nothing like Diana’s.

Julian’s heart tightened at the thought of Diana.

‘Well?” His eyes flickered, his gaze as sharp as a sickle, as if they could pierce through Kayla’s body.

If it weren’t for Diana and Madam Fulcher still being in her hands, Kayla was sure she would have died a thousand deaths already.

However, she wasn’t afraid.

She gently touched her own heart. As long as her life-saving favor remained, Julian would always hesitate when it came to her.

He was someone…

Who placed great importance on such debts.

However, she couldn’t resist his domineering demand in the end, and she obediently called Hans.

However, the man refused to answer.

Kayla sensed something unexpected had happened, so she glanced at Julian before walking out of the room and continued dialing.

Hans finally picked up after numerous attempts, but he sounded panicked.” Hello?’

Kayla pushed her worries aside and asked sharply, her voice like a crow screeching, “What happened?”

Hans knew that he couldn’t hide it any longer. “That b*tch ran away! She’s gone!”

Kayla felt as if someone had taken a bat to her head; rage coursed through her to the point she almost threw up blood.

‘What did you say?!”

Diana escaped?

How would Kayla continue this act?!

‘Diana ran away!” Hans was also outraged, and recounted what had happened to Kayla. “She tricked me! She made me believe that she had no intention of escaping. And with the old hag looking like she was about to keel over, she didn’t seem like a threat. So I relaxed a bit…”

‘Didn’t seem like a threat?”

Kayla pinched the bridge of her nose, wishing she could rush to Hans’s side right now and smash his head.

‘Are you telling me that you thought the formidable old lady from the Fulcher family and Diana, who established a successful studio in such a short time, posed no threat?”

Kayla felt like she was about to go mad from the anger Hans was causing her.

‘You idiot!”

She desperately wanted to tear open his head to see if anything was wrong with his brain.
