Julian’s Stand-In Wife

However, Kenneth was sure she wouldn’t actually do it.
‘Your parents’ graves...” he said.
He still had information she needed.
As he had expected, Fanny gradually calmed down.
She couldn’t kill him by removing his oxygen mask. Being a criminal because of him wasn’t worth it.
She had to make him bear the judgment he deserved for being a murderer, under the jurisdiction of the law!
So angry she was, her fingers trembled. She suppressed her fury as best as she could.
‘Tell me.”
Kenneth went on, and there was not a single trace of guilt in his voice. ‘Their graves are in City East Graveyard.”
That graveyard...
Fanny’s eyes lit up. “I’ve been there before!”
Kenneth was stunned. “You have? When did that happen?”
It was a few years ago, when she just started acting. She wasn’t famous at that time.
The Channings acted as her backer and paved her way in the industry with their money. While no one dared to do anything to
her, many gave her the cold shoulder.
When she became the supporting actress of an A-list celebrity, their treatment of her worsened.
At that time, said celebrity was a top-notch star paid handsomely just to appear in a feature and say a few words.
As her supporting actress who shared a few scenes with her, Fanny performed very well despite the high expectations. The
director even praised her.
When the crew was packing up, that actress gave direct orders forbidding everyone to give her a lift home. Not even Fanny’s
own company car.

She had to walk home.
Back then, no one dared to go against the actress.
Fanny had no choice but to walk home. She didn’t expect the journey to be so long. Despite the many hours of walking till the
sky turned dark, she saw absolutely no cars passing by. It was winter, and her body was almost frozen stiff.
It was too cold.
She wanted to find a place to rest first and hide from the cold, biting wind.
When she looked around, all that was within sight was a graveyard.
There was a security post right at the entrance of the graveyard. The moment Fanny passed it, a man walked out and handed
her a glass of warm water.
‘Young lady, I’ve noticed you for a while. It must be cold walking outside all alone, isn’t it?”
Fanny’s mouth was frozen stiff, so much that she couldn’t even open it. She instinctively sipped on the warm water, and doing
that brought a sharp pain to her teeth.
She didn’t dare to drink anymore, and entered the security post when the man invited her in. There was a heater inside, making
the place warm and toasty.
Her body started warming up after a few minutes. She hurriedly took a few more sips of water.
When she was about to leave, the man’s wife suddenly appeared and heard about what happened from her husband. She
hurriedly opened the thermal box she brought and offered, ‘Young lady, eat with us.”
She had come here by tricycle. “I’ll send you home after the meal. It’s too cold outside, you won’t be able to manage alone.” ‘Yes,
yes. You’re such an attractive young lady. If there are bad guys out there and something bad were to happen, your parents would
be heartbroken.”
Afterward, Fanny left the place on the tricycle.
She had sat on many vehicles that belonged to the Channings, and had seen many things in the materialistic entertainment
circle. However, none of the vehicles she had been in felt warmer than the tricycle she rode that night.

Now that she thought about it, the man and his wife she met that night could very well have been sent to protect her by her
parents...
She didn’t expect to cross paths with her biological parents that way.
Her heart softened. At the same time, she felt a strong urge to cry.
Kenneth had no idea what was going through Fanny’s mind. He simply fulfilled his end of the deal, and told her, “There are only
two people by the surname of Smith in the graveyard. I don’t remember their names, but you’ll know when you see it.”
At that, Fanny’s heart hardened once more.
What did he mean by that? How could he not remember their names after doing something so cruel to them?!
She had to suppress her anger to control herself from killing him right there and then.
Kenneth was rather surprised. His impression of Fanny was that she was a bold and daring woman. Yet, she didn’t make a move
on him, even until now.
He wondered if he could get rid of Fanny for his son. After all, she posed a great threat to him.
