Chapter 870
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Although Diana managed to get past the gate, she had to face Layla next. Layla was in-charge of all matters concerning CoIlina Villa, and she would surely be involved in recruiting a teacher for the twins.
When Diana got injured from the car accident, Layla stayed by her side and took good care of her.
They could be considered familiar with each other.
Diana might have been able to fool the security guards at the gate, but if it was Laylaâ¦
Diana wasnât confident that she could fool Layla.
Very soon, someone came to tell everyone there to get ready for the first round of interview. Only those who passed could stay.
Diana clenched her fists. She stared at the dazzlingly white marble floor, feeling so nervous that her nose was sweating.
The interviewer saw that she wasnât responding, and said impatiently, Tm asking you a question.â
That was when Diana finally looked up. She quickly realized that the interviewer wasnât Layla.
She sighed in relief, her body relaxing.
Because she had personally raised the twins, she knew how to raise children and had practical experience. Answering the interview questions was as easy as pie for her.
She successfully passed the first round of interview.
However, her goal wasnât to be the twinsâ teacher.
She was here to see the twins.
In the best-case scenario, she could take them away from here.
Given her previous experience here, she knew that doing so was nearly impossible, especially since she was on Julianâs territory.
She would be satisfied if she could see them and make sure they were fine.
During the interview, Diana made a mental note of the villaâs internal structure. She guessed that the twins were probably on the second floor.
During the second round of interview, Diana answered two questions wrongly on purpose. The interviewers waved their hands impatiently and said, âYouâre eliminated.â
That was exactly what she wanted!
Someone pulled her toward the exit, not allowing her to take another look at the other rooms. âThis way to exit.â
âAlright, alright,â she said as she lagged behind.
She couldnât leave this place. She had to see her children!
Diana was about to look for the twinsâ room when the door of the villa opened, revealing a black limousine slowly grinding to a halt.
The car door opened.
Zachary stepped out.
What was he doing here?
Julian clearly knew what the old man had done. Why did he still let Zachary into the villa?
Seeing him, Diana couldnât hold in her anger. She wanted to give Zachary a piece of her mind, when she saw a figure with his back against the light.
It was Julian!
Frightened, she turned around and ran to hide behind a tree. Julian might notice her and chase her out.
She was so scared, she didnât dare to breathe.
âMr. Fulcher,â Zachary said flatteringly. With Julian, he seemed like a different person than when he was with Diana.
He hobbled on his cane, bowing low as if he wanted to bury his head into the ground. âIâm honored to be invited here.â
âIs that so?â Julian asked quietly. âHow honored are you?â
âMr. Fulcher, youâre making fun of me.â Zachary waved his hands to signal his men to move all the gifts he had prepared out of his car. âThese are my tokens of appreciation for you.â
Julian ignored them completely. âDid I tell you to stand?â
Zachary was stunned, and his smile froze. âMr. Fulcher, w-what do you mean by that?â
âExactly as I said,â Julian replied. âContinue bowing.â
Zacharyâs forehead broke out in cold sweat. âI donât understandâ¦â
Julian ignored him. He turned around and ordered someone to carry Betty downstairs. âBetty.â
Very soon, Julian had Betty in his arms.
âBetty.â Julian handed her a wooden stick. âHit him.â
Betty didnât take the stick. Instead, she stared at Julian in a daze.
Julian insisted on stuffing the stick in her hand, then pointed at Zachary.â Hit him, Betty!â
This time, Betty took the stick. However, her eyes were teary. She was terrified.
