Chapter 1229


    Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1229


    “It’s still unclear,” Julian said, thinking about the pill. “They say she died from


    testing the drug, but Enzo…”


    Enzo wasn’t involved in drug manufacturing, so why was Anna testing drugs for


    someone?


    The answer behind it was almost obvious. Diana knew Julian was about to


    mention Jim again.


    She immediately silenced him by covering his mouth. “Go to sleep. Don’t think


    about insulting Professor Hughes.”

    Julian replied, “What about Enzo? Is he just going to kneel downstairs forever?”


    “Yeah, let him kneel,” Diana said. “The direction he’s facing while kneeling


    points at the Lemmingtons’ house.”


    So let him atone for one more night.


    However, Enzo couldn’t kneel all night.


    Julian had a very urate biological clock, and woke up at five o’clock every


    day. He had set the rm for six o’clockst night specifically for Diana.


    As for himself, he woke up at five and went straight downstairs after getting


    ready.


    Julian had considered it. Diana was pregnant now, and some things might


    agitate her and affect the babies. So, he wanted to handle these matters before


    she woke up.


    Downstairs, Enzo and Tommy had been kneeling on the ground for so long


    without drinking any water, and they were starting to struggle. Julian


    approached them. He noticed that Enzo’s face had turned white, and his back


    was bent forward to reduce the pain in his knees.


    Tommy, though in better physical condition, had been whipped and was


    sweating profusely in the summer night. His wounds looked like they were about


    to burst open, making him appear even more miserable and disheveled than


    Enzo.


    Nevertheless, they continued to kneel. Even though they were trembling, none


    of them cked off.


    “How much of yourpany does Jim own?” Julian got straight to the point,


    lighting a cigarette and holding it right in front of Enzo’s nose.


    He held it there like a threat. If his answer displeased Julian, his cigarette ash


    would fall on Enzo’s skin and burn his flesh.


    If it were in the past, Enzo would have knocked the cigarette out of Julian’s


    hand.


    This man was ruthless.


    He cared about no one except Jim.


    “Eighty percent,” Enzo replied. He couldn’t quite fathom Jim’s intentions, but he


    could tell that his actions, like kidnapping Diana’s child and injecting Julian with


    drugs, had upset Jim.


    It was why Jim had thrown him to Julian without any intention of taking him


    back.


    Enzo knelt in Julian’s manor, seemingly atoning for his crimes against Julian’s


    family. In reality, he was kneeling for Jim. He was hoping not to be reduced to a


    useless and abandoned pawn.


    “Where is he from? When did you meet Jim? What’s his purpose for suddenly


    appearing in Richburgh?” Julian demanded, but Enzo remained silent.


    Julian sneered. Enzo wouldn’t talk, no matter how many questions he asked.


    Then again, if it were that easy, he wouldn’t have sent Noel to investigate.


    However…
