Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1488

When Jim received the call, he glanced at Diana.

Quickly lowering the volume of the phone, he sidestepped Diana and walked into the bathroom, asking, "What's going on?"

He was frowning as he asked the butler.

The butler hastily recounted today's events.

Despite that, Jim hadn't anticipated things to escalate this way when he returned home.

The front gate had been knocked down, leaving a large dent in the opposite wall. Julian was driving a heavily modified and high-safety off-road vehicle.

It seemed like he came prepared.

Their friendship had already reached a point of no return. Jim saw no reason to be diplomatic.

He said, "Julian, you entrusted Diana to me. It isn’t that simple if you want her back now."

Jim would only let her go once she safely delivered the babies. If he lost Diana this time, he would never have the chance to be close to the child inside her.

No matter what, Jim wouldn't let go.

Seeing Jim reveal his true colors, Julian didn't rush into a confrontation. There was no point in arguing at this moment.

He got out of the car, strolling towards the estate like he owned the place. Strangely, no one dared to stop him.

In the past, a family holding onto old societal rules would have likely ejected him, possibly without knowing his fate.

However, no one dared to confront Julian. His imposing aura was too overwhelming. It even caused the butler to subconsciously submit in his presence.

Simon, lurking in the shadows, glanced in their direction and chuckled. His gaze towards Julian was still filled with discontent, and there was even a hint of familiar disdain.

A wistful smile played on Simon's lips, and he touched his pocket. After confirming the contents were intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until the car drove away that Simon emerged from the shadows.

In front of the expansive laboratory, he moved like a phantom, seamlessly navigating through it. At each checkpoint, he would pull out a card from his pocket, then wait for the stone door to open, lifting his hand to input his fingerprint.

"Welcome, test subject."

After passing through five checkpoints, Simon smoothly reached Diana.

Meanwhile, Jim had invited Julian indoors.
