Chapter 962
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
However, Diana didnât know how to discern the truthfulness of his words. She tried to probe him. âQuit lying to me!
Youâre the one Kiki sent to kill me!â
Simon looked at her in shock. âHow could you think that of me?â
He loved her so much. He would never hurt her!
âWhy canât I?â Diana chuckled. âDonât forget, Simon. Just yesterday, you tried to make me take that poisonous pill.â
She clenched her fists, and took a deep breath. âI told you not to come looking for me ever again. I will never trust you.â
With that, she instructed one of the bodyguards to drag Simon away as she sat in their car.
Since she couldnât tell whether Simon was telling the truth or not, she would just take his words with a pinch of salt.
She would take his suggestion of taking another car.
But not his car.
âLetâs go.â She looked coldly through the window, at the man whom she used to treat as a good friend.
She instructed the bodyguard to drive ahead. âIt wonât be good if weâre late.â
The fact that Shiloh called her to remind her proved that this old man was reasonable. He didnât cover up Kikiâs heinous acts, just because she was his daughter.
It seemed there would be progress in concocting a medicine that can help her regain her memories.
Diana wished she could teleport to the Stewartsâ right away.
Yet Simon blocked the car by standing right in front of it, stubbornly insisting for Diana to get out.
âI donât trust anyone aside from myself. Who can guarantee that none of these bodyguards are bribed by Kiki?â
That woman was vicious and heartless in her ways. He had personally witnessed that for himself.
Three years ago, if it werenât for him, Diana would have died in Kikiâs hands. This time, he wouldnât put her life at risk.
The driver looked at Diana, clearly put in a difficult spot.
âContinue driving,â Diana ordered.
The car continued moving, confident Simon would give way when it started getting dangerous.
Butâ¦
The driver broke out into a cold sweat. âMadam⦠According to the GPS, heâs only one centimeter away from us.â
If he continued driving and Simon didnât step away, the car would certainly hit Simon.
No one would dare to do that!
Diana had no choice but to stick her head out of the window. âSimon, what exactly do you want?â
The surrounding area was dangerous, with cars speeding past them on uneven terrain. If they kept hogging traffic here, an accident was very likely to occur.
Simon was obsessed. He only had one thought in mind.
âYouâll be safe only if you come with me.â
Diana thought differently-to her, keeping a distance from him was the safest choice.
She pondered for a moment, then suggested him to take the front passenger seat. âCome in the car, then.â
That way, she could still stay with the bodyguard in the car, and Simon would let them continue on.
Simon knew that she didnât trust him anymore. But as long as he could accompany her to the end of this journey and ensure her safety, he was willing to do anything.
With that thought in mind, he decided to get into the car.
The car engine hummed to life again.
When they reached the end of Winding Highway, the driver slowed down on purpose. Yet, nothing happened.
The car accident Simon claimed didnât occur, either.
Still, Shiloh did call Diana to remind her that Kiki would attack her.
Then, nowâ¦
Simon turned out to be the only dangerous element around her.
Whatâs more, the accident that he claimed didnât happen. It made Diana all the more certain that he was lying.
He was in cahoots with Kiki, to come up with some dastardly scheme to take her away from Julian and her twins.
That thought made Dianaâs heart beat faster.
She stared at Simon, as if he were a ticking time bomb that would explode any instant.
Just then, the driver suddenly said, âMadam, one of our tires is flat. We need to stop along the roadside.â
A flat tire on this road was dangerous.
