Chapter 899

Of course they wouldn’t.

Julian sneered, ‘That’s none of your business. I’ll find them a new mommy as soon as possible.”

Sean was about to start kindergarten. Betty’s condition was trickier to handle, but Julian would take care of her personally. He wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

He said it so casually, as if he was talking about what he would eat today.

The notion was simply laughable. Diana retorted, “Do you really think anyone can be their mommy?

You’ve already offended Cecilia. She was at my studio, and…”

“Shut up!”

He pulled Diana hard out of the car, refusing to give her any more chances to speak. His vice-like grip left a red mark on her arm. Pain shot up her arm to her heart, like many tiny, piercing needles.

Plonk!

Down she knelt before him.

“It’s not that the twins can’t do without me,” she cried loudly, “it’s that I can’t do without them! Julian, I’ll die if I have to leave them!”

Julian didn’t even look at her, his voice ice-cold and laced with menacing anger as he spat, “Well, then… Go to hell.”

He only wished he would never again have feelings for such a wicked woman, and that he would never become agitated because of her.

“Drive,” Julian ordered Noel, looking away.

He didn’t expect Noel to hesitate and look into the rearview mirror.

“Sir…” Noel swallowed past his constricted throat. “Mrs…no… Ms. Winnington is behind us…”

Then drive faster.”

Eventually, she wouldn’t be able to catch up.

“No.” Noel slowed down the car considerably, his hands and legs trembling. “Sir, Mrs. Fulcher is hanging at the back of the car.”

How could that be?! They were driving at such a high speed!

How could Diana be so fast?

Julian turned around at once, and he really did see Diana from the back window.

She was hanging from the window like a ragged old doll.

Julian felt his heart stop beating for a second. At that moment, he felt his lips, and got out of the car.

It was then he realized that she…

She had grabbed the lower rail of the bumper before they started the car. Just like a tireless monkey that found itself a good tree of refuge, she clung tightly onto the car without letting go. She then climbed up slowly, finally reaching the back window of the car after brushing against the surface of the road multiple times.

“I’ll return to Richburgh and be with my kids, even if I have to lose my life!”

She would never leave this place!

Her tone shook Julian to the core. Before he could react, something flashed past his mind at that moment. However, he couldn’t dwell on the thought as Noel shouted, “Sir, how is she?”

Noel was worried that a life might be lost, and wanted to get out of the car and take a look at it himself.

Julian raised his voice. “Don’t come over!”

Shaking, he took off his jacket and carefully draped it around Diana. Her clothes had been torn, and her skin had been scraped. She was bleeding all over.

He carried Diana into the car. She had a dazed look of disbelief and a relieved smile. She leaned weakly into his embrace, tears streaming down her face.

“Julian, I won.”

She said that she had won.

However, he didn’t feel the anger a loser would feel. There was only overwhelming heartache, drowning him.

He sighed. Tears fell from the corners of his eyes and down his cheeks, splattering on her red and swollen hands.

“Diana, why did you have to go to that extent?”

She felt his tears searing on her palm, the warmth spreading across her entire hand.

“I told you.” She let it slip past her fingers, and continued weakly, “I’m not leaving.”

She was still so stubborn.

At that moment, Julian smiled. Tears glistened in his eyes.
