Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 999

Chapter 999

However, he was cold about it.

He didn't rush to Diana's side the moment he saw her. He didn't look at her with worry, nor did he pull her in his arms immediately.

He didn't even call a doctor to tend her wounds.

He was like a high and mighty deity, with a bright halo around him. Diana’s hope and expectations for him shattered into little pieces.

His first show of concern was for Cecilia. "Are you alright?"

Diana’s fists clenched tighter, and the muscles on her face were tense. She bit her lips and looked down in silence, refusing to watch Julian showing Cecilia concern.

It was too painful for her.

She was clearly the one on the floor, suffering under Cecilia's hands.

Cecilia was the one who made a move on her. Yet now, Julian was most concerned about Cecilia.

"I'm okay." Cecilia shook her head, pulling Julian toward Diana and stopping before her. She looked at Diana and said, "But I hit Diana, and I even dragged her around on the floor."

She didn't look apologetic at all as she explained the situation to Julian, bold and unassuming. She even gestured to Julian with her arms and legs, reenacting the situation to him.

"I dragged her like this," Cecilia said. "I was dragging her for quite a while. She only woke up because I hit her head before dragging her out of the bed."

She said it calm and indifferently, yet the words were chilling.

Diana's eyes widened. She instinctively wanted to rub her head.

However, her hands and legs were still tied up. She couldn't touch her head. She could only look up and stare at Julian.

She thought he would immediately rush to her side and check on her, but he didn't.

Instead, he listened seriously to Cecilia as she said, "I don't feel so terrible seeing her in such pain."

Her voice became shrill as she went on hysterically, "Diana's the one to blame! If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have splashed paint on me! She deliberately schemed against me!"

Her words were a heart-wrenching accusation against Diana.

"Noel!" Julian shouted.
