Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 501

"You already know the answer to that. Why bother asking?"

That sentence easily summed up all the bitterness in Diana's heart.

"At first, I planned to die with Kayla today. That's why I bought the knife. I even slashed her face. I only needed to exert a little more force, and I could’ve cut a major artery on her neck..."

Diana said it without any hint of remorse or regret. Rather, her only regret was that she had never done such a brutal thing before, and that she had been too slow to plunge the knife into Kayla's neck.

"Diana..." Nina was choked up, and her heart ached fiercely. "You should’ve contacted me as soon as possible."

Diana shouldn't have had to be alone in such a situation.

"I can handle myself," Diana said as she pulled Nina away from the doorway. "Even if you were with me, I wouldn't have asked you to do anything. I don't want anything to happen to you."

In fact, if Nina had been there, Diana would be in a tougher situation and even more restricted. She was afraid Kayla and Julian would retaliate against Nina and hurt her friend.

But if Diana faced them alone, she was ready to take responsibility for whatever that would follow.

"But..." Nina could understand Diana's worries. "I want to do something too."

They had promised they would raise the babies together after they were born. Even though the babies were no longer around, their deep friendship remained unchanged.

No matter how formidable Julian was in Richburgh, Nina had no plans of backing down.

She gripped Diana's hand tightly and said, "Let's go downstairs together."

Thinking she hadn't managed to convince Nina to reign in her anger, Diana took a few steps back into the room. "I'm not going."

"No! We have to explain things clearly to Julian," Nina insisted. "When you were pregnant before, he was kind to you. He was even looking forward to the birth of the babies. Have you forgotten that?"

Perhaps he had valued the children as well, but there might have been some misunderstanding. Perhaps that's why he was favoring Kayla so much these days.

Besides, Nina recalled how Diana had spoken about Julian's actions during her pregnancy. Diana had been really happy back then.

As her friend, Nina wanted Diana to be happy.

Seeing the unconvinced look on Diana's face, Nina continued to persuade her. "He said he liked you, and that he was also looking forward to the birth of the babies, right? Have you forgotten about that?"

"No, I haven't."
