Julian’s Stand-In Wife

The two of them continued walking upstairs.
Nina paid extra care when walking, and managed to avoid bumping her head again.
The apartment Diana bought was on the fourth floor. When they reached that floor, the assistant swiftly pulled out the key to
open the door.
Nina looked at him in shock. “You have the key to this apartment?”
The assistant nodded. ‘Yes, Ms. Smith gave it to me.”
Fanny was in a very peculiar situation right now. Nina had no idea what exactly happened, but she paid close attention to the
news and roughly knew that Oliver forced Fanny to pretend to be dead. He even confined her.
She was truly pitiful.
What’s more, she used to be Diana’s benefactor. The two had a good relationship.
Nina didn’t pursue the matter, but asked, ‘Where’s Fanny?”
She wanted to see Fanny first.
“She’s not around now,” Marcus said. He entered the apartment first before letting Nina in. “If she doesn’t appear after one
o’clock, I need your help to contact Diana Winnington to help us find her.”
So, that was Marcus’s true objective of reaching out to her today.
‘You know that I’m close to Diana?” Nina asked.
‘Yes. Fanny told me that. Diana is Julian Fulcher’s wife, and he’s very protective of her. It was rather difficult for us to try to see
her when we don’t know her.”
It seemed Julian’s reputation of being a doting husband had spread far and wide.
Nina couldn’t help but feel happy for Diana. “Is Fanny safe right now?”
“I don’t know that myself,” Marcus said, looking a little down. All this while, his emotions were unreadable.

Seeing him like that, Nina instinctively tried to comfort him. ” That’s alright.
Diana and I wanted to find Fanny after we meet up. She’d go and look for Fanny, even without you asking.”
Now, they had a clear goal in mind.
“She went looking for Oliver, didn’t she?” Nina prodded.
Marcus nodded. “Diana went to the Channings to find Fanny.”
Even a celebrity of his status was nothing but an amusing entertainer in the eyes of the wealthy and the powerful. He wasn’t fit to
rival Oliver, especially given his status.
And so, Diana had to intervene in this matter.
“Looks like Oliver really did something to let Fanny down,” Nina said helplessly, as she thought of what had happened. ” He used
to dote on her so much in the past!”
Nina would always remember how Oliver gave her hush money after she took incriminating photos of them, all so she wouldn’t
affect Fanny’s career.
He said that Fanny loved her job, and that she had worked very hard for her achievements. He wanted to protect that for her.
Yet now, the man who had so eagerly protected her in the past, was the same man who destroyed her career and even her
entire life.
Suddenly, Nina recalled Vans.
Perhaps men were all like that!
Nina felt conflicted in her heart, and she even started feeling bitter toward Marcus.
Marcus wasn’t pleased with the way she was looking at him. “How are you intending to deal with what’s happening online?”
Deleting posts and shielding from malicious comments were impossible.
Everyone had the right to express their opinions, and everyone was their own media outlet. The more they try to hide things, the
more it would backfire on them.

“I have no idea,” Nina said, rubbing her temples. ‘You’re more affected by this.
How do you want to deal with it?”
“Our studio will release a statement,” Marcus said.
“Will the netizens believe it?”
“It’s enough as long as people who like me believe it.” Marcus was very clear about things. ‘Those who don’t believe it will never
believe it, no matter what I do.”
Marcus had given up gaining such people’s favor. What he wanted to protect were the fans who stayed with him despite
everything that had happened, as well as his potential fans.
Nina was very supportive. “Let me know how I can help.”
She was the cause of all that happened, after all. She couldn’t evade responsibility.
