Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 439

Diana paused at the hesitant tone and asked, "What's wrong? Will it be inconvenient for your cousin?"

"That's not it," the landlord replied. "It's just... My cousin lives off of collecting rent. While he does have a lot of money, he doesn't usually meet people, especially beautiful women. He gets tongue-tied when he does. Still, meeting in person is needed to talk about the terms of investment. Are you willing to have a screen between you two when you meet him?"

"That won't be difficult," Diana said, understanding an introvert's behavior. "It's good enough that he has an interest in investing. You can set the time and place."

The landlord was silent for a while. Then, she quickly replied, "We can meet at the restaurant near your studio. We'll make the reservations and meet tonight, is that okay?"

"That soon?" Diana felt that this was going surprisingly well.

There was still some doubt in her mind.

"Yes," the landlord replied. "I don't have any reason to lie to you anyway, and I'm still waiting to collect rent from you. If you're doubtful, you can bring someone with you."

"I didn't mean it that way." Diana hurried to explain. "For a moment, I find your cousin’s sudden appearance a bit too coincidental…”

Basically, this stranger came when Diana was near the end of her rope.

And then a socially awkward, wealthy landlord suddenly appeared.

The kind of person she wouldn't have had contact with if she wasn't a landlord herself.

Even if Julian didn't want others to invest in her, he wouldn't have been able to imitate someone like this, right?

The landlord chuckled awkwardly. "It's not like I can do anything. He just has too much money..."

Hearing this familiar phrase, Diana thought for a moment and wondered if Julian had possessed her landlord.

On second thought, perhaps the essence of wealthy people was all the same; having too much money would always be trouble. They always had to find ways to spend or make more money and earn interest from it. Only then would they feel at ease.

In comparison, she was a dirt-poor entrepreneur.

Diana covered her chest and said, "Please tell him I'll see him tonight."'

After she hung up, she thought there was something fishy about it the more she thought about it.
