Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 633

And then, everything happened quickly.

"Kayla," Julian snarled coldly; his voice sounded eerier as it echoed in the morgue.

The room felt even emptier, and the atmosphere grew much colder.

Kayla instinctively shuddered.

Through gritted teeth, Julian hissed, "Did you disturb the babies' graves? Did you take their ashes?"

There was a seething fury in his words as they passed through his lips; for a moment, it felt as if he had already torn Kayla apart in rage.

Diana finally realized that he had probably now only guessed what Kayla had done.

Kayla had only mentioned the ashes in passing, but Julian was already pouncing like a leopard lying in wait, eager to sink his teeth into his prey right at its core.

And Kayla was that very prey.

It was clear Kayla couldn't defend herself. Now, she finally realized the magnitude of her mistake.

She had practically admitted to committing such outrageous things as digging up a grave and taking the babies' ashes, and she had said it right before Julian!

"No... T-That's not..." she tried to explain, but why would the man give her a chance to justify her actions?

All the resentment and anger Julian suffered from the recent days had transformed into power in his hands. He loomed close to Kayla, his face resembling a sinister devil. "If you dare to lie, I promise you, you’ll suffer an even more gruesome death."

Whether Kayla spoke or not right now, there was no escape for her.

She instinctively looked towards Diana, but the latter was evidently also taken aback by the current turn of events.

She didn't expect Julian to be so direct and perceptive.

What’s more, she never imagined that this was Julian's first time hearing about the grave incident. It was no wonder he didn't react earlier... It wasn't because he favored Kayla. It was that he simply hadn't known!

He had been kept in the dark all along.

Diana didn't expect Kayla's grave-digging to be exposed now; it immediately pushed Kayla onto the path of certain death!

Kayla being Kayla, she refused to accept her fate so easily. She continued to seek help through her eyes, hoping for Diana to speak up for her.

However, Diana now understood the situation.

The more she protested, the less reason Diana had to conceal the truth.

"She dug up the babies' graves along with James."

For that very reason, Diana ruined the clothing industry James and Kayla had developed.

"So now..." Julian took a sharp breath, clenching his fists in anger. "The reason you pleaded on behalf of Kayla is because she dug up the graves and took the babies' ashes?"

Diana nodded.

It was an implicit admission.

At the same time, she closed her eyes, unable to bear witness to Kayla's fate.

Yet, the expected scene and sounds didn't come.

Instead, Diana could keenly feel an intense gaze that seemed to be aimed at her. When she reopened her eyes, she discovered that it came from Julian.

He was looking at her as if she were a stranger.
