Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Oliver wasn’t willing to take over the family business. He was happiest when he worked as a doctor.
But because of Kenneth’s deteriorating health, Oliver was forced to work for the family. Bogged down by the overwhelming
demands of business, Oliver no longer had the chance to pick up his beloved scalpel.
Although Oliver never spoke a word about it, Kenneth knew that his son wasn’t happy working for the company.
He couldn’t even be with Diana, the woman he loved. Thankfully, he fell in love with Fanny, who loved him with all her heart.
Kenneth was delighted to see that.
But...
His sins against the Smiths came back to haunt him like a nightmare.
He was worried Oliver might find out about his secret, and that might drive a wedge between them as father and son. Therefore,
he decided to come clean.
Whether Oliver would be upset or shocked wasn’t part of his consideration.
He was a father with a penchant for manipulating his son.
But right now, he regretted it deeply.
He was about to die.
Kenneth wanted to do something for his son before he passed away. The only bargaining chip he had was the truth of the past,
the justice he owed the Smiths.
He was willing to pay back the debt he owed.
Fanny knew what he meant, but...
“You have no right to negotiate with me.”
“He loves you very much.” “Seems like you don’t know your son very well,” Fanny said with a chuckle. Her fingers rested on his
oxygen mask. “Your life is in my hands. If you don’t tell me the truth, I can send you on your way to see my parents.” If she could

discover the truth, it didn’t matter if Kenneth died. She could hunt down those who covered his crimes. She would deliver justice
for her parents!
“I’m not scared,” Kenneth said.
He was a cunning old fox through and through-especially when he knew he had what Fanny wanted.
He went on calmly, “You can pull it out, but after doing that, you won’t find out anything about your biological parents.”
Fanny came to a compromise. Oliver was going to return anytime soon; when that happened, he would never allow her to stay in
the ward.
She finally nodded, and said, “Fine. I promise you that no matter what happens in the future, I’ll never leave Oliver.”
She would just lie to Kenneth. She knew how to cajole and coax.
To make him came clean about what happened in the past, she was more than willing to swear upon something even more
outrageous!
“If I fail to do it, I’ll be struck by lightning!” she added.
People on the verge of death tended to believe more in heaven’s will.
Seeing her swear upon her own life, Kenneth finally relaxed. His eyes were soon clouded, and he began talking. Fanny
recording everything with her phone.
Every word he spoke thereafter numbed her head.
Her parents...
This old bastard had run them over!
Not just that, he even returned to the scene of the accident multiple times for fear that they might survive the accident and be a
burden to him.
He might as well have killed them with his bare hands!
With the couple dead and a weak little girl left behind, things were easy to deal with.

Fanny Smith’s destiny had been re-written since then, pulled along ruthlessly by the evils of human nature.
Fanny tightened her grip over her phone, her voice shaky.” What was going through your mind the moment you saw me and
adopted me?”
She wanted to know if this man before her had ever felt any guilt.
Kenneth smiled.
“It felt great to have made the right decision back then. You just lost your parents, and you looked so weak and vulnerable. You
took whatever I said as the truth, and you even treated me as your savior.”
Tears of humiliation and hatred gushed forth.
Fanny looked at Kenneth, and reached toward his oxygen mask.
She must kill him with her own hands!
