Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Oliver had contacted many PR companies, but none of them were able to deal with the trouble Fanny had caused.
A former A-lister left the entertainment circle at the peak of her career. Everyone found it a pity that her talent had gone to waste.
She then married into the Channing family and became Mrs. Channing, transforming everyone’s regret into admiration.
Just when everyone thought she would grow old with the heir of the Channings, bad news appeared after three years into her
marriage. Said celebrity had passed away.
Although she had left the entertainment circle for many years, her legend remained. Her beauty was often touted. Original,
unedited photos of her could be found worshiped in thousands of households.
Many activities were launched online to mourn the loss of such a great celebrity.
Not only did her fans pay tribute to her online, but they even caused a traffic jam on the roads by piling fresh flowers and gifts
there.
It felt as if she was making a comeback into the industry. It was tragic how a beautiful female celebrity had died at a young age.
The internet bemoaned the loss of such a talent. Once again, Fanny’s name went viral.
Yet... As it turned out, Fanny Smith wasn’t dead!
The superstar that stirred the internet, with so many fans lamenting her death, wasn’t dead after all!
In truth, she was locked up in a villa by her vile husband.
This wasn’t just a harmless rumor-it was a crime!
In an instant, the Channings were pushed into the limelight. There was even a crowd gathering at Kenneth Channing’s funeral.
As Kenneth Channing was being buried, the family bodyguards struggled to maintain peace and quiet.
After the burial was over, some people couldn’t hold back their curiosity, and asked Oliver, “Mr. Channing, are the rumors online
true...?”
Oliver didn’t give them a direct reply. Instead, he said,” Thank you for sending my father off.”
He looked hard at his father’s grave before turning to leave.

His departure roused the guests’ excitement. They started discussing the veracity of the rumors regarding Fanny Smith.
“Mr. Channing, the group’s shares are starting to fall!”
Oliver paused in his tracks. His gaze swept past the many faces before him, and he said sharply, “Stabilize share prices at all
costs.”
He then looked at the bodyguard who was supposed to monitor Fanny, and waved to him. “Bring Erin Lane to me.”
Erin was the one who posted an expose online, at Fanny’s instructions. She was also the one who exchanged clothes with
Fanny and helped Fanny leave the hospital.
The bodyguard failed to prevent Fanny from escaping.
Thankfully, when something happened to Kenneth Channing, Oliver was sharp enough to restrain Erin in the hospital.
The bodyguard responded, “Yes, sir.”
Reporters were swarming the villa where Fanny was previously locked up in.
Even Yvonne didn’t dare to leave the house unless absolutely necessary.
Oliver could no longer go to the villa anymore.
He was worried about Fanny being dead set on exposing the truth and telling the world she was still alive. She would escape his
clutches.
Well, he refused to let her have her way.
He had set a trap in that villa. If Fanny came close, his men would bring her to him immediately.
“If she struggles, I don’t mind killing her again in front of the masses,” Oliver told the bodyguard, his eyes dark.
The bodyguard was stunned, but quickly understood what Oliver meant. He nodded in acknowledgement and left.
Fanny did come to the villa. Evidence of her confinement was there. If she could catch the media’s attention and direct them into
the villa, Oliver’s reputation would be torn to shreds.

However, she stood no chance of getting close to the villa. Oliver’s men were surrounding the swarm of reporters outside it.
The moment she appeared, she was sure to fall into his heinous trap.
He was driving her to desperation.
Fanny clenched her fists, carefully considering where she should go next to hide. It had to be somewhere very safe-a place
Oliver would never guess.
