Julian's Stand in Wife

“He’s just a poor loser who found success in this city, and is trying to climb the social ladder by sticking to my family. I’ll never give him the chance!” Cecilia yelled.

Diana fell silent. Noel was not someone like that.

He wasn’t poor right now, either. The various investments he made and the bonuses he earned were equivalent to the profits of a middle-size company in the market.

Rather than a poor man who found success in the city, he could be considered a golden bachelor.

Cecilia’s face darkened with displeasure.

If Diana went on with the topic, not only would Cecilia refuse to listen, but she might also detest Noel even more.

“Please don’t misunderstand,” Diana said gently as she held Cecilia’s hand, trying to resolve the misunderstanding with utmost sincerity. “I do want to mediate things between you and Noel, but I genuinely want to be your friend, too.

“If you really don’t think that there’s any misunderstanding between you and Noel, and you really don’t want to be with him anymore, I won’t talk about it anymore in the future. Please don’t feel uncomfortable.”

Otherwise, Diana would feel as though she was forcing Cecilia into a corner. She couldn’t do such a thing.
