Chapter 701
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The atmosphere in the entire office became incredibly heavy, and only Noel dared to interrupt the tense mood. He began cautiously, âSirâ¦â
He approached Julian,and informed him what the receptionist had told him. âThe madam is here. Sheâs waiting for you downstairs.â
Diana had never proactively come to the office before. It seemed she was feeling guilty. Well, at least she had a conscience and knew to come here to make amends.
Julianâs mood improved slightly at the thought.
Actually, as long as she behaved properly and was willing to confess what happened last night between her and Oliver, he could pretend nothing had happened.
âSheâs not here to apologize,â Noel shook his head, leaning close to his ear with a mysterious expression, and continued happily, âShe says sheâs here to invite you to get married!â
This was what Julian wanted all along!
It should melt his icy demeanor.
To Noelâs surprise, Julianâs face grew even colder. âInvite me to get married?â
What did she take the remarriage for?!
Right now, remarriage should be the most beautiful thing for the two of them.
Yet here she was, using it as a tool to cover up her lies from last night!
âTell her to leave,â Julian snapped coldly. âRemarriage is even more impossible!â
Diana listened as the receptionist recounted everything, and felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
âHow is this possible?â
All her joy and anticipation suddenly vanished, and a chill settled in her core.
Diana looked at the receptionist in disbelief. âHow could he say something like thatâ¦?â
Julian was looking forward to the remarriage so much. How could he refuse to even see her, and even sayâ¦
That it was impossible?
Even if she couldnât see him in person, Diana could imagine his icy gaze and his sharp jaw when he said those words.
The consequences of his angerâ¦
They were even more severe than she had anticipated.
She gripped the documents in her hand tightly, almost exerting all her strength, just like when she held that prenatal examination report in the past.
Her fingertips turned white from the pressure.
For a moment, she wanted to rush to Julian and tell him why she stayed out that night.
Yet, she couldnât.
She would rather let him be angry about her staying out all night than let him know the truth that his so-
called loving parents had long drifted apart without any preparation⦠She didnât want Julian to think that the vow they made in front of the grave, promising eternal love even in death, was just a joke.
Because his parentsâ¦
Even before their deaths, they were no longer in love. Simonâs appearance was the best evidence of it.
Diana thought of the DNA test report and felt her heart break for Julian. This situation happened so suddenly, she still hadnât figured out how to approach him or how to tell him about it.
The receptionist saw that she refused to leave and immediately changed her attitude, mocking her, âWife? Hah. More like, former wife.â
Julian had already made it clear that remarriage was impossible, so what was this woman still doing at Fulcher Inc.?
âSecurity!â she called someone over. âThrow her out!â
They had no need to be polite to a woman Mr. Fulcher didnât want. Soon, someone came to drive Diana out.
Receiving such treatment at Fulcher Inc. was a first for Diana.
Diana thought that it was all Julianâs intention. The various instances of his coldness towards her in the past remained vivid in her mind. She couldnât help but feel a chill in her heart.
Was it really worth it for her to consider him like this?
âDonât touch me.â Diana pushed away the security guard, her expression gradually turning cold. âIâll leave on my own.â
Since he didnât want to remarry, she wouldnât force it.
