Chapter 700
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Not only was there a lot of talk in the aristocratic families, but even the receptionist had also heard something!
Diana wasnât the type who liked to show off, but at this moment, she couldnât help herself. The corners of her mouth curved upwards in a mad, confident smile as she said firmly, âIâm his wife, the next person to marry him⦠Itâs still me!â
Her skin was as white as snow, and her delicate features seemed to glow. Her overall temperament was dignified and elegant, and she looked like a noble painting.
Just standing there quietly, she made it impossible for people to look away.
Indeedâ¦
She was more convincing than any of the women who had come to see Mr. Fulcher before.
Seeing the dumbfounded look on the receptionistâs face, Diana smiled even more widely and said, âGive him a call, and sayâ¦his ex-wife is inviting him to get married.â
Ex-wife?
Inviting him to get married?
And she was supposed to call Mr. Fulcher?! The receptionist was on the verge of dying of laughter.
âIâve told you! Just because youâre good-looking, donât casually lie and brag. Iâve seen many women like you standing here!â
The receptionist definitely wouldnât make this call.
In case someone from above blamed her, she might even lose her job.
Diana sighed helplessly. âThen how about you call Noel?â
Various women who previously claimed to be Julianâs women and wanted to see him had never known his assistantâs name. The receptionistâs interest was piqued all of a sudden.
She had heard of Julianâs reputation for doting on his wife. She had heard that he had even knelt down for his wife! If the woman in front of her was really the young mistress of their Fulcher Inc., then she certainly couldnât be negligent!
She instantly changed her mind and attitude as she asked Diana, âShall I make the call and ask?â
Diana nodded. âYes!â
Julian was currently in a meeting.
The executives were called to the conference room on the first day of the new year, and their moods werenât very pleasant.
Still, it wasnât like they could do anything about their workaholic boss!
Not just a workaholic, but an extremely meticulous one at that! If he called them over, there must be something important to discuss.
Therefore, no one dared to oppose it.
Sure enough, Julianâs meeting this time was mainly directed at the Channing family. Everyone present knew about the recent stock market manipulation by the family against Fulcher Inc. They also knew that the Channings had planted some spies in the company to cause trouble.
They wondered how Julian would retaliate.
They looked at the agenda for the meeting today, all quite eager. Dozens of eyes were fixed on Julian, waiting for the man to speak up and reveal his plans.
But at this moment, Julianâs mind was filled with images of Diana going to the Channing residence yesterday, spending New Yearâs Eve with Oliver, and waiting for the arrival of the new year together with him.
Just the thought of that scene gave Julian the urge to destroy the whole world!
The Channing family was insignificant! What do they matter?!
As he started the meeting, the despont air around him had now been replaced by a majestic one.
Julianâs low and icy voice echoed in the room. âCancel all projects between Fulcher Inc. and the Channing family!â
The Fulcher and Channing families had always been collaborating. If their projects were suddenly cut off now, not only would the Channing family be affected, but Fulcher Inc. would also be implicated.
Julian knew what everyone thought, and continued, âFulcher Inc.âs profits wonât drop. They will only continue to grow rapidly.â
He made a promise, and he would deliver.
No one in the room dared to speak up.
He continued, âCease all ongoing negotiations immediately!â
He intended to launch a full-scale attack on the Channing family.
Soon, news about Fulcher Inc.âs actions against the Channing family would spread. At that time, not only would Fulcher Inc. revoke their cooperation, but even companies that had friendly relations with Fulcher Inc. or intended to collaborate with the Channings would withdraw one after another.
The Channing familyâ¦was about to face a massive upheaval.
The economic losses inflicted upon them would likely amount to billions!
This was the price they had to pay for plotting against Diana and spending New Yearâs Eve with her!
Recalling Dianaâs overnight absence last night and her the way she spoke during their phone callâ¦
And the lies she told himâ¦!
Julian once again sank into an uncontrollable rage.
