Chapter 1166


    Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1166


    Nina had been out for a while now, and still hadn’t returned.


    It could only mean that she…had no intention ofing back.


    Otherwise, Diana’s phone would be blowing up by now.


    Nina needed an opportunity. An opportunity to have a proper conversation with Vans, and Julian had


    provided her with


    that.


    Vans gazed at the woman standing in front of him. There was still a clear imprint on his face-it was from


    when he grabbed


    Lina’s hand and struck himself.


    Lina, upon seeing the change in Vans’s expression when she met his gaze, had frozen stiff and got too


    afraid to do


    anything else.


    Vans was usually low-key, and he deliberately hid his sharpness. He would have a hard time surviving


    to this day


    otherwise, especially with how the Stanleys operated.


    His persistence in studying medicine was also a part of it. The further he stayed away from the Stanley


    family’s business,


    the safer his mother was.


    As for his character, the more foolish and unresponsive he appeared, the less likely the Stanleys would


    view him as


    promising. No matter how close he was to Julian Fulcher, an unpromising individual like him could still


    be easily


    manipted by the Stanleys.


    The Stanleys’ arrogance continued to grow, and Vans bes increasingly inconspicuous in their


    eyes. On the other


    hand, his mother thrived within the family.


    However, this didn’t mean that he was truly incapable or weak.


    When he was determined and had something he wanted to protect, he revealed the inherent radiance


    within him.


    He wasn’t the morning sun rising over the horizon, nor was he the blinding midday sun; he was the


    warmth that persisted


    in the afternoon when no one paid attention.


    Yet, Lina couldn’t understand that.


    She thought Vans was just her ything-that he had no right to shout at her, especially with eyes filled


    with destructive


    intent.


    Who was he warning?


    Was he warning her not to touch Nina, that little slut?!


    Hah!


    Her brother was now the one the Stanleys were eager to please. Why should Vans, the mere son of a


    mistress, be


    allowed to swagger in front of her?


    With that in mind, she followed Vans’s forcefulness and delivered a heavy p to his face.


    She hated him.


    She despised him.


    She wanted to make him kneel before her, begging for mercy.


    She wanted him to kneel and say to her, “Please marry me! I’m willing to be yourpdog!”


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Yet, he didn’t.


    Even after taking her p, he remained indifferent.


    There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he kept on smiling. His pale face and


    unsettling smile were fixed


    on Lina as he said, “Very good.”


    This was thest and ultimate patience he could offer Lina. If she harmed even a single hair on Nina’s


    head, he would


    ensure that she experience true humiliation and heartbreak.


    After saying that, Vans stood up. He summoned someone to clean the private room thoroughly, and left


    his contact


    information behind.


    “You can contact me forpensation.”


    He spoke with consideration. Even though he was injured, he still considered the interests of the


    business.


    Despite his mild appearance, he was still quite distant. He was akin to a passing figure through the


    woods; untouched by


    the leaves, yet enough to drive the surrounding birds and flowers into madness.


    Lina was one of those crazed birds and flowers.


    She was now more determined than ever to make Vans hers.


    A man like him could only belong to her!


    Relying on herself might be a bit difficult, so she would have to ask her brother to intervene once again


    and exert pressure


    on the Stanleys.
