Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1459

Diana was somewhat afraid.

She swallowed hard, abandoning the idea of confronting this man head-on and letting go of the desire to vent the anger in her chest. She decided to compromise.

"Don't touch Betty.”

Jim ignored her.

For a cheeky little brat who dared to attack him, he had a hundred ways to deal with her—but the one that pleased him the most was...

"I won't touch her.”

He flipped Diana's hands behind her back, gathered them in one place, freed up one hand, and took out a velvet box from his pocket.

In this era, few people used such boxes to carry things, let alone carry them around.

However, this was Jim.

Diana didn't find it strange, and she was confident that the box contained medicine.

Sure enough...

He took out a black pill.

All the medicine he developed looked the same, but the ingredients were vastly different.

"Eat this, and she'll be obedient and sensible," Jim said,waving to Betty. "Come over here, and I'll let your mommy go.”

Betty thought for a moment. Ignoring Diana’s shaking head, she bravely walked towards Jim. Then, she took the pill from Jim's hand. She looked like she was about to put it in her mouth.

Diana was scared, and her eyes widened. Who knew what kind of medicine Jim was giving her daughter?!

She didn't know where her strength came from, but she broke through Jim's restraints and forcefully knocked the pill out of Betty’s hand. She used too much force, and made Betty's hand turn red instantly. The pain almost made Betty cry.

The atmosphere in the room was tense and strange. Surprisingly, Betty held back her tears.

The clever girl immediately wanted to pull Diana towards the door.
