Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 223
The way he addressed Kayla grated harshly on Diana’s ears. Adding to the terrible situations she had gone through
in the past two days, Diana could feel herself growing more and more upset.
In the end, she was only one woman.
A woman who had been living and relying on her own since she was a child, and had tried hard to obtain love and
warmth.
If she could, she would have liked to go back to the past three years where she had relied on Julian. Unfortunately,
everything shattered the moment Kayla arrived.
And Diana, the rightful Mrs. Fulcher, no longer had the right to voice her objections after getting kicked out by the
man she loved. Up till now, her life was still influenced by his status. Thus, she had no choice but to

Diana only wanted to use this job to get a fresh start on her new life. Unfortunately, Kayla was also here. She was
forced to put up with Kayla until her patience finally ran out and she fought back. And now, hearing Kayla
addressed as “Mrs. Fulcher” instead of her crushed her spirit completely.
In the end, this was Richburgh. Here, she could do nothing against Julian. She couldn’t even resist him.
When Diana walked out of the office, her heart was cold and heavy. The person in charge had warned her that if
she continued to clash with Kayla, he wouldn’t bother showing Fanny any courtesy and would dismiss
Diana anyway.
Dismissed…
Her dismissal wasn’t because of her mistakes at work; rather, it was because she had messed with the
woman in Julian’s heart, Kayla.
Unfortunately, now was not the time to fight back, as she really needed this job. Diana had grown up alone in the
boonies; she knew survival was always top of the priority list.
Tolerance was sometimes very important, especially in the situation she was in right now. She had to keep her job
and protect her children. More importantly, she couldn’t get into another conflict with Kayla. Even if Kayla
deliberately caused trouble, Diana had to tolerate it.
One slip–up could lead to a big mistake.
At this moment, there was nothing more important than safety and survival.
Still, her heart ached at the thought of Kayla mistreating her simply because Julian had her back.
Well… It didn’t matter. Diana could protect herself.
She slowly walked back to her workstation and looked at her ruined skirt. Her face twisted into an unsightly
expression that looked worse than crying, and she silently clenched her fist tightly. Looking up, Diana spotted

She even shot Kayla a smile that held a hint of relief.
Kayla, who was smiling smugly, froze at Diana’s reaction.
She hadn’t really wanted to do anything to Diana. That approach would’ve been much too obvious and easy to
leave traces. Everything would backfire on her if it turned out that Julian actually cared about the babies in Diana’s
stomach and stood on Diana’s side.
Instead, she tried making Diana miscarry through mental torture and oppression. However, she didn’t expect Diana
to be so mentally strong.
Not only was Diana unaffected by today’s chain of events, but she also managed to smile at Kayla.
Logically, the person in charge should have berated Diana and put pressure on her. So why? Why was Diana smiling
at Kayla?
Upset at this turn of events, Kayla used the company’s intranet to assign a long list of tasks to Diana.
Diana accepted them all without complaint and buried her head in work. However, only she herself knew that she
didn’t concentrate on the assigned task that afternoon.
Instead, she worked on a plan.
