Chapter 750
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
That was what Kiki saw when she came by.
Compared to the mighty and commanding presence of the great CEO of Fulcher Inc. of the past, Julian had become a walking skeleton without a soul.
Kiki even thought of giving up.
She didnât know if forcing Julian to be with her and putting up such a big show would be worth it.
She stared at Julian with a look of disdain that she didnât even notice.
Eventually, she decided to walk toward him.
Kiki flung him a bomb the moment she stood in front of him. âJulian, Diana isnât dead.â
Life immediately penetrated Julianâs eyes, originally dead and listless.
He stared at Kiki as if she were his savior. âKiki, donât joke about this.â
âIâm not joking.â She took a deep breath, âI didnât want to tell you this, butâ¦l really canât stand seeing you like this any longer.â
Her heart ached as she said, âJulian, youâve been fooled badly by Diana. She ran off with another man yet here you are, foolishly staying vigil by her grave, hugging her urn through all those sleepless nights.â
What was more, his health was still in a terrible condition. He had stopped taking his medication, and was suffering from all sorts of pain and aches every day.
It wasnât as simple as just bleeding from the nose.
His internal organs were all in pain, and he often felt short of breath amidst the agony he felt in all his limbs.
These were all bodily reactions from his condition.
However, they were drowned out by the misery and pain Dianaâs death brought him.
As much as every inch of his body was in flesh-biting pain, he didnât seem to feel a single thing.
He was like a lifeless puppet without his senses and awareness. He was left with nothing but a single wish: to die with Diana.
But right now, Kikiâs words were akin to a key that unlocked all the switches in his body.
His aching joints and organs fired up his senses, and his face immediately became flushed. âRan off with another man?â
Veins popped out from his forehead, making his gaunt face look even more skeletal. âKiki! If you dare spout nonsense with me, Iâll rip off your tongue!â
Kiki shook her head frantically. âOf course, I wouldnât dare shoot my mouth off like that!â
Kiki hurriedly showed Julian the video of Diana cooperating with them in making herself look like she was in an accident before losing her memories. âLook! The blood that was all over her body was make-
up that she put on herself. Itâs just ketchup. I didnât want to tell you about it, but youâre too deeply in love with her.â
Kiki clenched her fists and exclaimed self-righteously, âThat woman isnât fit for you!â
Julian stared at the video through red-rimmed eyes, not fully trusting Kikiâs words.
He had no reason to believe an outsider over the love of his life, and he instantly pointed out the core of the issue. âHow did you get this video?â A sense of guilt crept up Kikiâs heart, but very quickly, she remembered that Diana had lost all her memories.
No matter what she said, Diana would never be able to refute her claims. That thought gave Kiki the courage to speak. âI asked Simon for it.â
âSimon Channing?â
What does all this have to do with him?
Julian furrowed his brows. âWhy does he have this video?â
âWeâre sort of friends,â Kiki said. âAlthough weâve only met a couple of times, weâre from the same circle and share affinity with each other. When he and Diana left, he showed us a woman who was willing to pretend to die in order to lie to a man she didnât love, just so that she could elope with him. Back then, I didnât know he meant that the man Diana didnât love was you.â
Kiki added confidently, âWe evenâ¦â
âEven what?â
âLaughed at the man,â Kiki said. âWe thought he wasnât even capable of keeping his own womanâ¦â
Her claims were wholly unconvincing.
Putting aside the fact that Simon wouldnât have a reason to be so bold as to elope with Diana, Diana herself would never have thoughts of eloping with Simon in the first place! 1 All the more she wouldnât insist on pretending to die and lie to him in order to elope with Simon when she was pregnant.
