Julian’s Stand-In Wife

When Julian turned fierce, he resembled a demon straight from hell.
His menacing presence frightened Jim’s mother, who was already terrified. Even Jim himself felt the powerful pressure from afar.
When Jim saw Julian back in Richburgh, he seemed so gentle when standing beside Diana. He appeared to have no lethality
whatsoever. At that time, Jim even thought that the legendary Julian was nothing special.
But now, he deeply regretted that thought.
Was he still just a romantic rival?
However, the experiment had reached this stage. Jim only needed to wait a few more months, and they could extract the child
from Diana’s belly to see if the drugs she had taken would have any genetic impact.
This would validate whether their medicine could become the genetic code to control humans.
Now, they couldn’t afford to fail! Even his mother couldn’t become an obstacle on this path!
Taking advantage of Julian’s attention on his mother, Jim signaled to the butler and whispered a few words in his ear. The
butler’s eyes flashed with grim seriousness.
“Sir, must it be this way?”
Jim nodded, looking at Julian with a triumphant smile. “Yes.”
Initially, when Diana brought Betty over, he considered the child a burden. She even tried to hit him with a broom at the hotel. He
didn’t like children, especially those who were useless to him.
But now, Betty could become useful.
“Julian boasts of being a good husband and father. Let’s see whom he will choose between his wife and daughter!”
In the laboratory, Diana held Betty tightly and refused to let go. She was afraid that if something dangerous happened, she
wouldn’t be able to handle it.
The security here was very strict, and Diana had already experienced it when she entered. Fortunately, it wasn’t like the place
was empty. Someone dressed in lab attire was taking care of her.

She asked, “Did Jim instruct you to lock me up here?”
The person was momentarily stunned, seemingly genuinely unaware.
“Are you talking about Professor Hughes? He didn’t lock you up. He just said you might be in danger outside, so he asked me to
stay with you. Oh, right...”
The person scratched his head, as if recalling something. Suddenly, he turned and quickly brought someone else over from the
laboratory.
Instantly, Diana’s face turned pale.
It was Kate.
Diana had anticipated their meeting for a long time, ever since she was a child.
She thought that meeting Kate would make everything better, and that Kate would be a loving mother to her.
However, Kate had repeatedly chosen Kayla over Diana, and hurt her own biological daughter again and again.
Now, Jim told her that Kate’s mistreatment was not as straightforward as it seemed. It seemed that Kate was, in fact, a victim
who had suffered more than Diana.
Meeting again under these circumstances was unexpected. Diana hadn’t sorted out her emotions, and seeing Kate now stirred a
mix of feelings.
Before she even realized it, tears welled up in her eyes.
“Miss?” Kate said, shocked.
Diana’s tears startled Kate, who quickly brought tissues and gently wiped away Diana’s tears.
“Don’t cry! You’re so beautiful. If your family sees you crying like this, they’ll surely feel heartbroken.”
Kate’s tone was gentle, and her movements were delicate. Even when interacting with Betty, she displayed unparalleled
tenderness. Her large hands rested on Betty’s shoulders, comforting her with a reassuring smile and telling her not to be
nervous.

Seeing Kate’s caring demeanor, Diana felt even sadder. Her tears flowed more freely
