Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1538

“I think Marcus is really in love with Nina!’ Diana looked at Julian with hope in her eyes, looking as if she were Nina’s mother.

Julian said indifferently, “Maybe.” He folded Diana in his arms, pensive. In reality, he felt anxious for Vans.

Meanwhile, Vans was also reading through the news, which kept coming.

He initially thought that Nina might be playing along with Marcus to sensationalize matters, but afterward, he watched Marcus’s video and started feeling antsy. He had the same thoughts as Diana.

Rage contorted his usually-calm face, but no matter how many times he tried to call Nina, no one picked up.

Left with no choice, he turned his attention to Diana and Julian, who didn’t pick up his calls either. It was fine if Nina didn’t answer his calls, but even Julian was avoiding him now. Vans knew whose idea it was.

This time, Nina was truly done with him.

At this moment, Lina was no longer in the mood to try her last gown.

She gripped her phone tight, looking coldly at Vans. He was in vehement denial at the start, but was now clearly emotionally unstable. He slowly cracked under the emotional pressure.

She glared at him. “Vans Stanley! You two haven’t broken up, have you? You still love her, don’t you?”

Vans was good-natured, but that was provided that he wanted to be nice to the other party. Now, he was clearly at his limits in tolerating Lina’s behavior.

He glared coldly at her, a mocking look in his eyes. He didn’t know if he was mocking her or himself, but he retorted,” That goes without saying.”

With that, he grabbed his jacket, making a move to leave the boutique. They were surrounded by many people, including the make-up artist and the service staff, who witnessed their fight. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Lina felt utterly humiliated. She had never been this embarrassed her entire life!

She clenched her fists, and yelled at him, “Vans Stanley! If you dare step out of this place, I’ll call off this wedding immediately!”

That was precisely what he wanted!

Vans didn’t feel threatened one bit. He was already being very kind to Lina, but she repeatedly caused harm upon Nina. He was thoroughly disgusted with her.

“Whatever you want!”

With that, he headed downstairs without looking back.

Lina was left stunned on the spot. Her face turned pale, and her fingernails dug into the flesh of her palm.

A service staff stammered, “Ms. Jennings… Do you still want to try on the gown…?”

“Try on the dress?!” Lina glared at her, and slapped her face. “So that all of you can laugh at me?!”

Her nails were so sharp, they left scratch marks on the staff’s face.

Lina ignored it and continued yelling at her, finally stopping only when the service staff began sobbing uncontrollably.

Vans was on the first floor. Upon hearing what happened upstairs, he rushed out of the boutique without hesitation.

He wanted to find Nina.

In the face of a woman as vicious as Lina, he had to remain firm. That was the only way to deter her from making a move on Nina!

As for their engagement…

If she called for an annulment, he would thank her instead!

It was nearly one o’clock.

There had been no news of Fanny.

Marcus looked grimmer as time went by. “Looks like she might really be in trouble. We have to go find Diana Winnington right away.” Nina was shocked. “You want to find Diana too?”

It was technically enough for her to just tell Diana about such things. In fact, one phone was enough for her to explain things. There was no need for Marcus to go to the Fulchers’ with her, and risk getting photographed.
