Chapter 18: To spoil to kill

• Selene's eyes turned red with her head down, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault.
• Don't be angry, Jill."
• Jermaine became even angrier and blamed Suzanne, "Why did you let Selene apologize without even asking? How can you be such a mother?"
• Suzanne smiled softly, "It's right for a younger sister to give way to her older one. Besides, how could Jill do anything wrong?"
• She came downstairs and looked at Juliana with a loving smile, "Jill, don't be afraid, mom will back you up and not let them bully you."
• Juliana looked up at Suzanne, who wasn't particularly pretty but still charming.
• Yet Suzanne was no match for Juliana's mother and didn't even have a third of her beauty.
• But it was this woman who stole Jermaine from Juliana's mother and took her place in the family.
• Suzanne was a bit freaked out when Juliana looked at her and turned her head to scold Selene: "Selene, why are you bullying Jill again? How many times have I told you to give in to her? Why don't you listen?"
• Selene bowed her head and cried, "I give in. I'll give in to Jill. I don't want anything."
• Jermaine saw her daughter crying, heartbroken. He got angrier and angrier: "Why should Selene give in to Juliana? Juliana must have bullied her again."
• Jayden stood up, defending Selene, and said angrily, "Juliana told Selene not to get engaged to me and asked Selene to marry into the Leach family instead of her."
• "Selene didn't agree and she made her kneel. She even kicked me down. She's trying to supplant Selene."
• Selene cried as she shook her head: "It's not like that. It's not Jill's fault. I'm the one who's willing to give up Jayden to Jill and marry Benson Leach instead of her. Dad, don't blame Jill."
• Jermaine only got furious when he heard these words, "How dare you ask Selene to marry Benson instead of you? You are asking her to die! Are you still a sister?"
• As the words came out, Jermaine raised his hand to smack Juliana's face.
• Juliana's face turned grim and she was about to fight back, when Suzanne, who was standing next to her, grabbed Jermaine's hand quickly, "Jermaine, talk nicely. I won't allow you to hit Jill."
• Jermaine showed anger: "For so many years, Selene gave her room, her toys, and almost her boyfriend to Juliana. Now Juliana's asking Selene to die. Does she have a heart? Is she still acting like a sister?"
• Suzanne tightened her grip on his hand to keep from hitting Juliana, "It's all right. We did wrong to Jill and I agree with Selene going to the Leach's."
• She said heroically, "You can't watch Selene go to her death. I can't watch Jill go to her death either. They are both my daughters. If one has to be sacrificed, let it be Selene."
• Hearing this, Juliana raised her eyes to look at Suzanne coldly and spoke in a cold voice: "My mother is already dead. Suzanne, you, a mistress, want to be my mother? Go and lie down in the cemetery first."
• Juliana used to hate Suzanne too, but she was soon touched by her "goodness".
• The reason was that Suzanne satisfied Juliana with everything.
• When Juliana did not want to go to school, Suzanne asked for leave for her and took her to play.
• When Juliana wanted something, Suzanne bought it for her.
• Juliana didn't have to practice playing the piano or dancing. She was allowed to stay out of school, to fight and make trouble, and to keep toy boys...
• All in all, Suzanne unconditionally supported Juliana in whatever she wanted to do and helped her out when things went wrong.
• Such "goodness" was to ruin her by spoiling her!
• Suzanne had turned Juliana into a loser yet Juliana was grateful to her!
