Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 1166

Nina had been out for a while now, and still hadn't returned.

It could only mean that she...had no intention of coming back.

Otherwise, Diana's phone would be blowing up by now.

Nina needed an opportunity. An opportunity to have a proper conversation with Vans, and Julian had provided her with that.

Vans gazed at the woman standing in front of him. There was still a clear imprint on his face-it was from when he grabbed Lina's hand and struck himself.

Lina, upon seeing the change in Vans's expression when she met his gaze, had frozen stiff and got too afraid to do anything else.

Vans was usually low-key, and he deliberately hid his sharpness. He would have a hard time surviving to this day otherwise, especially with how the Stanleys operated.

His persistence in studying medicine was also a part of it. The further he stayed away from the Stanley family's business, the safer his mother was.

As for his character, the more foolish and unresponsive he appeared, the less likely the Stanleys would view him as promising. No matter how close he was to Julian Fulcher, an unpromising individual like him could still be easily manipulated by the Stanleys.
