Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1241

Chapter 1241

The next second, she heard Oliver say, "It's fine. I don't regret marrying Fanny."

She was overjoyed when she heard that.

She experienced happiness like never before, as if fireworks were exploding in her heart. There was an itch in her throat, almost driving her to push that door open and calling Oliver her honey sweetly.

However, Master Channing's next words stopped her hand, which was almost reaching the door handle.

"Do you love her? Do you have no regret because you're making amends on my behalf, or because you really love her?'

Making amends for Master Channing?

What wrong did Master Channing do to her?

Over the years, it was all thanks to the Channings for taking her in that Fanny was able to grow up peacefully and healthily.

Although she wasn't their darling, the Channings' influence and Oliver's presence gave her an admirable life during her youth. Later when she joined the entertainment industry, despite having to walk on eggshells at home with the Channings, she never suffered at work because Oliver was willing to invest in her career.

She had always felt grateful for the Channings and Oliver.

"What's the big deal whether I love her or not? Marriage is all about getting used to each other. I'm used to Fanny being around me since we were kids, and that's the same now. I realized that as long as I've gotten used to it, this marriage can go on. Not only can it solve your problem, but it can also help me maintain the image of having a happy marriage.

That's pretty good.”

The fireworks in Fanny's throat exploded for good.

Yet, she didn't feel an ounce of joy at all.

All that was left was the bitter taste of sorrow that spread from her throat to her chest, almost breaking her heart into many tiny pieces.

Her heart was bleeding.

Fanny clenched her fists, and stood at the door in a daze. She no longer had the courage to push the door open.

It was only until the secretary came over and saw her standing there, and called her Mrs. Channing, did the two men inside finally notice her presence. Oliver stood up, and opened the door to his office.

His height advantage allowed him to hide the flash of panic in his eyes. His experience managing the company over the past four years had trained him in hiding his feelings well.

He found that it was easy for others to see through him if he didn’t hide his emotions. When that happened, he often found himself at a disadvantage in negotiations and work.

She used to act in so many movies, so shedding tears was as easy as pie for her. She could always sob sorrowfully whenever her character was sad. Viewers often commented that her crying scenes were very convincing.

But at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to cry despite being overwhelmed with sorrow. She couldn't cry, and she couldn't laugh either.

Just as Oliver said, perhaps she had gotten used to it too.

She had gotten used to him hurting her in their relationship.

At the end of the day, she was the one who asked for this marriage.

When Oliver just started taking over the Channing family business, many of his relatives were upset about it. Many thought that Simon could still take over the business, even if Oliver didn’t.

No one expected Simon to turn out to be a son of the Fulcher family.

The moment news broke out, everyone in the Channing family who were previously suppressed suddenly became emboldened to fight for a piece of the pie.

Oliver found himself in the midst of the storm, having to manage the Channing business while guarding himself against the schemes of his own family members.

Yet, he still failed.
