Chapter 1549
Fanny bet that he wouldn’t dare.
That was equivalent to eliminating all chances he stood with Diana.
Julian witnessed the scene unfolding before him. Instead of getting frustrated, he stood quietly there, ready to
protect Diana, as he watched Fanny and Oliver fight it out with each other.
Oliver was confused. "Why not?"
He glanced at Diana, and went on, "I did like Diana in the past, but I have since given up on those feelings for her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFanny Smith, is your heart made of stone? Can't you tell who the woman I like is after all this time?"
Fanny was stunned, feeling suffocated as if something was stuck in her throat. "Don't tell me it's me."
Oliver was dumbfounded.
Who else could he be talking about?
The stars in the sky?
Fanny felt indignant under his glare. "If you like me, why did you say that I'm just a child-bearing tool for you?"
"If I didn't say that, would I be able to keep you confined in the villa? Would I be able to dash all your hopes and
make you feel hopeless?”
He would rather see Fanny wilt like a dying flower before him than to let her leave. Such a suffocating love
resembled Julian when he was behaving unreasonably in the past.
It also proved that Oliver cared very much for his relationship with Fanny.
Silence fell upon them.
Diana and Julian weren't anxious to speak out. Instead, they tried to remain quiet, giving Oliver and Fanny the space
they needed to think.
Fanny was no fool.
When Oliver rushed over to her defense just now, she could sense his affection for her. In fact, in that instant, she
wanted to forget about all the grudges between them.
But... If she didn’t pursue justice for the death of her innocent parents and her unborn baby, who else would do so?

After a long while, she bit her lips and said, "Oliver, I called Diana to help me today. You can't keep me here
forever."
Oliver knew that. The moment Julian and Diana stopped in, his control over Fanny would be significantly weakened.
"I won't let you go," he said as he tightened her grip over her. "Fanny Smith, you can't release that recording. If you
do, we're over."
The final sliver of hope in Fanny’s heart died.
"That's the best outcome I could wish for."
With that, she ignored the wound on Oliver's head and walked toward Diana, hiding behind Diana.
Julian's men surrounded them at once, such that Oliver couldn't come close even if he tried to.
