Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Was this still the same mother whom she reconciled with that day?

The desire that Diana had for that measly bit of kinship that was barely rekindled was doused in that instant. “I’m not doing this for a comfortable life.”

She bit her lips so hard they almost bled. “As my mother, don’t you understand how much I’ve suffered over the years? Am I that obsessed with wealth and riches?”

The voice on the other end mellowed significantly. “Then why must you…insist on that fifteen million dollars

…?”

“I owe Julian fifteen million dollars because of a shop I bought before. The divorce is only possible after I settle the debt and no longer have any financial entanglements.”

“I see, I see. As long as you’re not the one stopping him from getting a divorce.” Kate’s attitude took a complete 180–degree turn. “Seems like Julian doesn’t want to waste a single cent on you, too.”

Her words deeply disturbed Diana. “What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing. I mean, you’re a good child, and so is Julian.” Diana could almost hear Kate smiling through her voice, and it made Diana even more upset.

What kind of a mother would smile so gleefully upon hearing about her child’s divorce and overwhelming debt?

Well, the kind that doesn’t love or care for her child.

Even if Kate didn’t love or care for Diana, was there a need for her to make it so obvious that she wanted Diana to be divorced?

From what Diana knew, part of Winnington’s family business relied heavily on Fulcher Inc.

By right, they should be worshiping the Fulchers as their god of wealth and hoping that her marriage with Julian was smooth sailing. That would guarantee their business success.

Yet, why was it that over these three years, Kate had never taken the initiative to please her? What was more outrageous now was Kate’s blatant desire for Diana to get a divorce.

The gears in Diana’s brain turned rapidly.
