Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518

"What? What are you talking about?" Kate continued looking at Diana, anger burning in her eyes, as if they were archenemies rather than mother and daughter.

Diana felt her heart grow increasingly colder at Kate's gaze. She gritted her teeth and was about to speak, but then she noticed a flicker of panic on James's face.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard. A loud smack resounded in the hallway.

It was even stronger than the force of Diana's previous slap.

He looked at Diana with a face bearing the imprint of his palm.

"Diana, I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have..."

"Shouldn't have what?" Diana pressed, sharply and relentlessly.

"I...I shouldn't have dug up your children's gr-gra..."

James couldn't even bring himself to finish the sentence. His whole body was already trembling like the final leaf on a dry branch.

Instead, he dropped loudly to his knees and bowed continuously to Diana as he pleaded, "Please, I beg you... I beg you!"

This man, who always cared about his reputation, was now prostrating himself at the feet of his most despised daughter.

"Please forgive me. I was wrong. I'm sorry!"

Kate couldn't bear to see this and tried to pull him up. "Get up!"

She didn't understand!

"Even if you dug up the children's grave, what difference does it make? Those two children were stillborn! But you are Diana's father, a living person. How could she humiliate you like this?!"

James's heart pounded harder in his chest with each word Kate uttered.

He kept glancing behind Diana, and his panic grew stronger as her elegant figure drew closer.

He continued hitting his forehead against the ground, the dull sound echoing in the hallway over and over again.

The broken skin on his forehead from the repeated knocks broke Kate's heart. At the same time, she felt that doing this in front of everyone was embarrassing.

But no matter how she tried to pull James up, he refused to get up.

Instead, with a swift movement, he slapped Kate across the face.
