Chapter 1456


    Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1456


    Laws governed this country, after all!


    Diana gradually calmed down, and pushed him away. “I don’t want you touching me.”


    Jim wasn’t angry. He simplyforted her, saying, “Okay, I won’t touch you.”


    He even lifted his arms, for fear that she might misunderstand him.


    Seeing this, Diana realized that while Jim might harbor ill intentions toward her babies, at the very least,


    he had no ns of harming her yet.


    Diana, Betty, and her babies were safe until her babies were born. However, there was a possibility that


    they might be stuck in this hotel until then.


    Betty was still asleep. If she woke up, she might want to head out. When she realized that she couldn’t


    leave this city and see Julian, she’d definitely be upset. She might even cry.


    The thought of her daughter feeling lost and rejected made Diana’s chest constrict with sorrow. She


    looked at Jim, trying to figure out his ulterior motives.


    “My mother…” she said again, thinking of Kate. She had mixed feelings. “She doesn’t know me, but


    she’s so fierce to me. Does it have anything to do with your pills?” “Yes,” Jim said with a nod. “No matter


    how strong a mother’s love is, it’s nothingpared to the final pill my mother concocted.”


    Hepletely disregarded the struggle and pain Diana was going through, and smiled almost gleefully.


    His handsome face was no longer good-looking, but contorted with evil and sickening coldness.


    “Kate can be considered the greatest supporter of my mother’s research.”This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    What a joke!


    Diana sneered at him, suppressing the urge to p him hard.


    “Does this supporter know that she’s supporting your mother’s work?” Jim shook his head. “Probably not.


    Kate waspletely unaware when my mother gave her the pill.”


    Diana gasped.


    “So…” She looked at him in disbelief. “You made my mother try your pill when she waspletely


    unaware, and treated her like a tool?! Don’t insult the term good friend!”


    Diana was furious. Fire burned in her eyes.


    She clenched her fists and suppressed the fury burning inside her chest as she yelled, “Jim Hughes! You


    are inhumane!”


    She hated Kate for so long. As it turned out, a great tragedy was hidden behind all that. Kate had lived


    her whole life under the control of another.


    Jim didn’t understand why Diana was so angry. “So what if she knew? She’d still forget her choice, and


    what she supported.”


    Diana realized that Jim had his own strange logic.


    She was filled with rage, so much so that her chest started heaving. Ordinary men would be filled with


    lust if they looked at her right now, with her beautiful face and fair, dewy skin.


    But not Jim.


    He seemed to treat Diana like a puppet or a machine. He had no desire for her whatsoever, and his gaze


    remained on her stomach.


    More and more, Diana felt that she might have arrived at a wrong conclusion.


    Jim said that she was a vessel.


    She might just be a mere vessel-that’s all.


    “After I give birth to the twins…” Her voice was hoarse, trembling with suppressed fear. “What will you do


    to me?”


    Jim heard her question, and felt even more confused. “What can I do to you?


    You’ll be done once you’ve given birth.”


    That meant that whatever happens to Diana after giving birth had nothing to do with him. If it were in the


    past, Diana might feel excited, thinking that there was hope after giving birth.


    But now, having understood the kind of person Jim was, she asked, ‘You mean that after I give birth and


    you select one of the babies, the other baby and I won’t receive even the most basic medical care. Is that


    it?”


    “What else?” Jim asked, puzzled. “What more do you want me to do?”
