Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 425

"Understood?"

Noel nodded. "I got it, sir."

"As for the person behind the landlord..." Julian glanced up at Noel with a sharp gaze. "Look into it too. Find out why he suddenly came out to make trouble."

The location of Diana's studio was good, but the sudden increase of rent that was obviously way beyond market price was too sudden. There had to be someone pulling the strings behind the scene.

Noel noted Julian's instructions and said, "By the way, sir. Recently, Miss Kayla has been asking to see you..."

Julian immediately recalled Kayla putting on makeup that made her appear similar to Diana, and snapped, "No."

Now that he had already decided to stay away, it was better to let Kayla to give up completely, lest she try to turn the tables on Diana and attempt something ridiculous again.

...

The fabric prices kept going up, and the losses Diana suffered in the warehouse only kept increasing.

She had been searching for new investors to make up for the shortfall and quickly get new fabric for orders to start production. But because her investment requirements were strict and everything had to be in the best interest of Fanny, many potential investors were unwilling to invest.

One day, a call finally came in. The person on the other end asked, "Madam, is that you?"

Madam...

It hadn't been a long time since her divorce, but suddenly hearing this title made her feel like those times were a world away.

Diana nodded, and her breathing became noticeably ragged as she replied, "Noel?"

Noel hummed in reply. When he heard her unhappy tone, he added, "Yes, it's me."

This was the first time Diana had spoken to Noel after what happened to her babies.

Diana felt her heart tighten, and she asked, "Your father... Is he doing well?"

Noel didn't think too much of it, and he was even a little touched that she remembered the old man.
