Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 398

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 398

Wasn’t Diana implying that Lucy was just a servant and that she was dispensable? And that Diana, Kate, and James were the rightful owner of the house?

That little b*tch!

Lucy cursed Diana in her mind and shot a fierce glare at the latter. She wanted to slap that little girl in the face so much right now!

James could tell that Lucy was furious, but he didn’t dare to expose anything before Kate. He put down his utensils and cleared his throat, giving Lucy a pointed look. The two held gazes for a while before Lucy finally turned around quickly and left.

James ate a few more bites before he too quickly left the table.

Throughout the whole meal, Kate continued eating quietly as if she hadn’t seen anything.

Sometimes, Diana wondered whether her mother was really stupid or was just pretending to be.

However, now was clearly not the time to have a heart–to–heart talk with Kate, much less ask her such a personal secret.

“I’m done,” Diana said, pushing her plate away. She turned to Kate and added, “I’ll take a look around our yard first while you carry on eating. I haven’t had the chance to look at it.”

Diana had deliberately used the words “our yard” to lessen the gap between them.

Kate, who had just gotten a gift she liked, didn’t feel uncomfortable about it. However, she also wasn’t that overly enthusiastic. With an attitude that was obviously much better than how she had treated Diana before, she simply agreed. “Alright.”

As soon as Diana left, she put down the utensils in her hand and clenched her fist tightly, her nails digging deep into her palm. Her expression darkened as a terrifying and gloomy look settled on her face.

In the villa’s yard, James and Lucy were hiding behind the flowers Kate had planted.

“Don’t be angry,” James said as he held Lucy. “Baby, don’t you know how I feel about you by now? Diana gave me a plaque my father inscribed, you know? With that, I can now hold my head high before my brothers. That’s why I kept her for dinner. If we’re talking about who I’m closer to and will dote on, I definitely prefer our daughter, you know? Otherwise, back then, I wouldn’t have made the decision to have Diana-”

Crack!
