Chapter 1488


    When Jim received the call, he nced at Diana.


    Quickly lowering the volume of the phone, he sidestepped Diana and walked into the bathroom, asking,


    “What’s going on?”


    He was frowning as he asked the butler.


    The butler hastily recounted today’s events.


    Despite that, Jim hadn’t anticipated things to escte this way when he returned home.

    The front gate had been knocked down, leaving arge dent in the opposite wall. Julian was driving a


    heavily modified and high-safety off-road vehicle.


    It seemed like he came prepared.


    Their friendship had already reached a point of no return. Jim saw no reason to be diplomatic.


    He said, “Julian, you entrusted Diana to me. It isn’t that simple if you want her back now.”Books

    Jim would only let her go once she safely delivered the babies. If he lost Diana this time, he would


    never have the chance to be close to the child inside her.


    No matter what, Jim wouldn’t let go.


    Seeing Jim reveal his true colors, Julian didn’t rush into a confrontation. There was no point in arguing


    at this moment. He got out of the car, strolling towards the estate like he owned the ce. Strangely, no


    one dared to stop him.


    In the past, a family holding onto old societal rules would have likely ejected him, possibly without


    knowing his fate.


    However, no one dared to confront Julian. His imposing aura was too overwhelming. It even caused the


    butler to subconsciously submit in his presence.


    Simon, lurking in the shadows, nced in their direction and chuckled. His gaze towards Julian was


    still filled with discontent, and there was even a hint of familiar disdain.


    When Julian looked in his direction, Simon left for elsewhere without a second thought. Soon, his figure


    disappeared from Hughes Manor.


    Julian was powerful, but this was Jim’s territory. Moreover, Julian was alone. It seemed he didn’t


    understand Jim deeply enough.


    These days, Simon had been investigating this area. He gained a more profound understanding of Jim.


    Currently, Jim’s first concern was the babies in Diana’s belly. The second was hisboratory.


    Simon spected that with Julian causing amotion in the Hughes family, Jim, being cautious and


    meticulous, wouldn’t just wait idly. It was highly likely that he would take Diana to theboratory. After


    all, it was a good hiding ce.


    Simon arrived at theboratory, and indeed saw a car he hadn’t seen before outside. He didn’t rush in,


    but observed from the entrance.


    He confirmed that people were continuously unloading items from the car, including Betty’s luggage. It


    was a yellow rubber duck suitcase, a limited edition gift Simon had given her for her second birthday.


    Julian had bought her many valuable suitcases after she returned to the Fulcher family. Betty, despite


    her fickle nature, never reced this particr one.


    She held her uncle in a special ce in her heart. Since she addressed him as uncle, he would be the


    one to protect them in the end.


    A wistful smile yed on Simon’s lips, and he touched his pocket. After confirming the contents were


    intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    It wasn’t until the car drove away that Simon emerged from the shadows.


    In front of the expansiveboratory, he moved like a phantom, seamlessly navigating through it. At


    each checkpoint, he would pull out a card from his pocket, then wait for the stone door to open, lifting


    his hand to input his fingerprint.


    “Wee, test subject.”


    After passing through five checkpoints, Simon smoothly reached Diana.


    Meanwhile, Jim had invited Julian indoors.
