Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

“The party’s about to start,” Kayla said, leaning into Kate when she saw the latter lost in thought. She deliberately pouted and said, “Aren’t we going to the front yard, Mom?”

“Yes, let’s go.”

Kate couldn’t refuse Kayla, and she glared at Diana. “It’s all because you refused to change clothes and delayed us! I don’t know who you take after. You’re so stubborn!”

Kayla immediately rubbed Kate’s temples when she saw how angry Kate was. Then, she turned to Diana. “It’s Mom’s birthday, Diana. Even if you don’t like me, you should put on the dress so that us sisters can stand by her side and show everyone how blessed she is.”

Regardless of the reason Kayla came up with, Diana still repeated the same answer. “I won’t change.”

Kate’s face was already pale with anger. “Fine, I don’t care! Just wear your dirty dress for all I care! It doesn’t matter if others ridicule me. God knows how often I’ve gone through it because of you anyway!”

As usual, Kate’s accusations and obvious disgust toward Diana would only increase when Kayla was present. Diana thought she had long gotten used to Kate’s blatant favoritism, but she had hoped that today, having just learned that she was simply someone’s substitute, she had thought that…

Kate would at least give her a little comfort.

In the end, Diana’s hopes were in vain. In Kate’s heart, Kayla was the only one worthy of being her daughter.

“I won’t let you be embarrassed because of me,” Diana said, hanging her head down and looking at the hem of her skirt, which could barely be classified as dirty. “I’ll wait until the banquet ends and leave with the car. I came today mainly to get the money, after all.”

few minutes.

Instead of having the banquet indoors, Kate had taken advantage of the season and set up an outdoor banquet. When she and Kayla arrived, they headed straight to the stage, presented a unified front, and thanked the guests for coming.

On the other hand, Diana found a secluded corner where no one would bother her. It was a place where she could keep an eye on her surroundings, in case Kayla planned something heinous.

About ten minutes later, Kate finally finished her speech. With Kayla by her side, they went around toasting with the guests. Since Kate didn’t mention Diana at all during her speech, Diana didn’t expect Kate and Kayla to come toward her, much less with another girl trailing behind them.

Kate was in a good mood after receiving compliments and congratulations from others. She smiled as she said, “Diana, this is Lyra Conner. She’s Kayla’s best friend. I recall you mentioning the earrings just now, so I guessed you must’ve confused her with Kayla. I brought her here to introduce her to you.”
