Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 53

Vans said that at times, the one who comes first, wins.

Diana came after Kayla, and was therefore doomed to fail.

The thought of that made Nina’s heart ache even more. “Stop seeing Kayla anymore.” The only thing she could do

now was to preserve Diana’s last shred of dignity. “It’d be terrible if she had any wicked plans to hurt the baby.”

Diana nodded. “I know. I keep having this feeling that she isn’t as simple as Julian thinks she is.”

“But of course!” Nina said in a huff, deliberately trying to divert Diana’s attention. “She only just came back from

abroad and managed to make Julian fall head over heels for her. We’d be underestimating her if we thought she

was simple–minded!” She looked at Diana with worry–filled eyes. “Whatever it is, just remember not to meet her if

you can.”

As long as Diana didn’t see Kayla’s face, even if she knew that Kayla is the reason Julian wanted to divorce her, the

thought that she was a replacement would never enter her mind.

“Don’t worry.” Diana held Nina’s hands and placed them on her tummy. “Because of this baby, I’ve become

stronger and more rational.”

Diana would prioritize the baby and her safety.

As for the woman whom Julian loves, Diana couldn’t afford to provoke her and wouldn’t go near her.

“That’s great!” Nina stood up, grabbed a bank card, and handed it to Diana. “I recently photographed a mega -

celebrity and received 1.5 million dollars as hush money. Take it and use it first.”

Diana was shocked. “So much money?! Did you borrow it from Vans?”

“No!” Nina replied, aghast. “It’s really from the hush money I earned! Fresh from the oven!” She retrieved the

photos she shot and showed them to Diana. “Look, the top female celebrity in a romantic affair is no small matter.

They were generous, to say the least.”

Diana was stunned. “Why does that man in the photo…look rather familiar?”

Nina said doubtfully, “You know him?”

Diana didn’t know many people, so she probably wouldn’t know anyone in the entertainment industry.

“This man…” The knowledge of such a huge secret made Diana’s heart leap. “Looks like Oliver.”

“Ah…” Nina was slightly disappointed. “I thought Oliver was your new date. To think he already has a girlfriend…”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Diana was annoyed by Nina’s expression. Her eyes became gentle as she added, “I

have my baby, and that’s enough for me.”

This child was a gift to her from heaven. She would treasure the child with everything she had.

Diana accepted the 1.5 million dollars from Nina, who in turn accepted a credit note that Diana strongly

insisted on writing.

After everything was settled, she continued transferring the money to Julian, batch by batch, until her fingers and

heart went numb.

“I’m still short of 12 million dollars,” she sighed. “Seems like I have to talk with the Winningtons and Kate

in person.

Before she left the house, she received an invitation from Kate. “Your dad agreed to give you the money, but the

sum is too large. We can’t pay it in one go.”

The news was a surprise to Diana. “That’s all right. I just need it within the month.”

“Why don’t you come over and we can sign an agreement?”

Diana didn’t think much of it, as she thought the agreement would just be about settling the alimony. It was

only when she arrived that she realized she had thought too kindly of them.
