Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231

Kayla had a point, so Mr. Carter nodded in agreement. “I’ll try to be as stealthy as possible so that he doesn’t find out.”

That would be best.

Kayla pulled out a jade piece and placed it in Mr. Carter’s hand. “Thank you for your hard work.”

Mr. Carter refused to take it. “I appreciate your kindness, but after working so many years for the Fulcher family, I have no need for this.”

The reason he disliked Diana had nothing to do with the favors he was doing for Kayla. He simply felt that Diana wasn’t good enough for Julian, and his sincere wish was for Julian to have a better life. It was why he was helping Kayla.

“I don’t mean to discredit your sincerity,” Kayla said humbly. “If you dislike these mundane items, I’ll prepare something else for you next time.”

“I’m happy as long as you and the master are happy,” Mr. Carter said, waving his hand dismissively.

Even though it was true, Kayla was confused by Mr. Carter’s attitude. Contempt filled her eyes as she watched Mr. Carter’s retreating back. Were there any servants in this world who didn’t want money?

He probably didn’t accept it because he felt the jade piece wasn’t good enough for him. However, Mr. Carter was a butler that had been with the Fulcher family for a long time and an essential element for her to become Mrs. Fulcher. Thus, it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with him.

With that thought in mind, Kayla called her father James and requested him to help her find better–quality jade pieces or something similar. When the time comes, she would use it to maintain her relationship with

Mr. Carter.

After agreeing, James asked Kayla about her progress with Julian. He was delighted to hear about Diana becoming a mere nanny. He immediately praised Kayla, gushing, “You’re better than her, as always. It’s only been a few days, and you’ve pushed her into a corner!”

With how things were going, it would only be a matter of time before Kayla joined the Fulcher family. It seemed his gamble of betting all his cards on Kayla was right.
