Chapter 4Pretended Ugly, Married the Heiress

"Impossible! How could the Williams family..."

She reflexively objected, the panic in her eyes nearly overflowing.

"Diana, he must be lying to you!"

"How could the Williams family possibly... He's just mad you ran away from the wedding. He's deliberately getting someone to put on an act to scare you!"

Manuel insisted I was lying. Diana's gaze lingered on my face for a moment.

The wavering in her eyes immediately disappeared.

"Julian, stop it. I know you're mad I left you for Manuel, but you can't joke about your lifelong happiness."

"Angel..."

She swept her gaze across my disguised face and said through gritted teeth: "She's an extreme looks-obsessed person. How could she possibly marry you? As long as you apologize to me now and say this is all fake, I can..."

"Can what?"

I interrupted her, my voice calm and unwavering:

"Continue keeping me as a backup, and when you're tired of your first love, you'll come back to me?"

"Diana, do you think I, Julian, am that cheap, that unable to leave you?"

She was left speechless by my question, her face turning green then white.

Seeing this, Manuel immediately leaned over weakly, his voice carrying a sob:

"Diana, let's just go. Don't make Julian angrier here."

"Julian is obviously confused with anger. When he thinks it through, he'll naturally know who really treats him well."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to shoot me a provocative look.

With Manuel's persuasion, Diana seemed to find a way out.

She took a deep breath and looked at me:

"Julian, I'll give you time to calm down. When you've thought it through, call me anytime."

With that, she helped Manuel and left without looking back.

Ironically, the doorbell rang right after she left.

The Williams family butler, along with two assistants, respectfully delivered a huge gift box.

When the lid opened, inside was a suit custom-made by a top international designer.

Diamonds adorned it, shimmering brilliantly.
