Julian's Stand in Wife
Chapter 569

Chapter 569

That was when Julian remembered the 15 million dollars that he threw out of the window and the exhibition that Diana cared so much for.

"Let's go." He was no longer satisfied with mere texting. novelxo He wanted to see her.

She would definitely be there.

He wanted to ask her personally if she was being double-minded and two- timing by giving another man her umbrella, all the while caring for him and texting him at the same time. Yet when Julian arrived at the exhibition, he didn't see Diana anywhere.

Kayla appeared much earlier than Diana did. She kept looking at Julian, and ended up walking toward him when she saw his poker face and concluded that he didn't detest her.

"Julian," she greeted him with a smile. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come."

Julian didn't believe that it was pure coincidence. "I came here to see Diana."

Everyone knew that he invested 15 million dollars in this exhibition. novelxo It was impossible for Kayla to not have heard about it.

'You've become even more fake now," he exposed her mercilessly.

Kayla's face flushed with embarrassment, and she stammered awkwardly while trying to explain herself. "Julian, you must be joking!" She quickly adjusted her mask, making sure that it covered her scars well. This was her first time appearing in public after she was disfigured, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

To Julian, aside from himself, Kayla had become someone who cared about where Diana was the most-all because of that scar of hers.

"Have you seen her?"

Julian's sudden question startled Kayla. Being in such close proximity with his handsome face made her heart skip a beat, and she replied, "No, I haven't."

"You know who I'm talking about, don't you?" Julian said derisively, as if seeing through Kayla completely.

She subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to novel.xo look into his eyes for fear that he might find something out.

Diana still didn't appear, even when the exhibition was about to start.

By now, Julian couldn't wait any longer.

He commanded Noel to call Diana's studio to see if something had happened. Someone from the studio answered to say that Diana had left very early on. Julian began feeling uneasy as he took out his phone, and started calling Diana.

Yet, his calls went unanswered.

He tapped open WhatsApp and sent her numerous texts, novëlxo but he received no reply.

Where had Diana gone to?

She had been preparing for so many days for this exhibition. She couldn't possibly come late or miss the event on purpose!

The more Julian thought about it, the more he decided that he couldn't wait anymore.

He stood up and decided to leave, when Kayla suddenly called out to him." Julian."

There was confidence and a rebellious glint in her eyes that had been missing from her over the past few days, and it made Julian all the more alert and guarded. "What's the matter?"

"I know you're going to look for her, but before that, you have to get past me first." Kayla put her hands together, reminding herself not to be novëlxo nervous in front of Julian. Yet, the slight tremble in her voice gave her away.

Julian immediately strangled her throat. "Kayla Winnington!"

He had warned her before!

He had warned her not to harbor any ill-intentions against Diana!

He tightened his hold over her neck, making it harder and harder for her to breathe, and snarled fiercely, "Are you so desperate for me to kill you?!"

There were many people around, as well as numerous cameras on site.

Yet none of them bothered stepping forward, even upon witnessing such a violent scene.

"Cough, cough....1'

Kayla was once again in awe of Julian's raw strength and power, and that made her even more persistent.

"Ju...Julian..." She grabbed his arm with great novelx.o difficulty as she breathed out, "Do you want...my life...or...cough, cough...Diana's life?!"

This woman!

This woman...!

Julian regretted not getting rid of her for good when he had the chance.

"From today on, the fact that you've saved my life will no longer be effective on me!" He glared at her, the sight vicious and frightening. "I want to take your life, and I want to save Diana's life!" Kayla could feel his hand tightening over novelx.o her neck-she was certain could die at any moment!

Her face turned blue as she yelled at the top of her lungs, "No! Without me, you'll never find her!"
