Chapter 4: Pushed Her

  • There was also a middle-aged man standing in the living room. When he saw her coming down, he stepped forward to take her luggage and nodded his head respectfully, "Miss Lewis."
  • It was Philip Lee, the butler of the Leach family. The Leach family had sent him to pick Juliana up, showing their regard for her.
  • Selene looked at her apologetically, "Jill, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
  • Juliana stopped in front of her, looked at her in a condescending manner, and said indifferently: "Are you apologizing for failing to help me escape or for pushing me into the river?"
  • It was Selene who helped Juliana escape today. But not long after Juliana ran out, Jermaine came after her.
  • Standing by the river, Juliana threatened him with death not to get married.
  • Selene came over to persuade her, but then she pushed her down the river.
  • Word spread throughout the city that Juliana Lewis would rather die than marry Benson Leach.
  • Both Jermaine and Philip looked over significantly.
  • Selene panicked all at once, her eyes downcast: "I'm sorry. You didn't want to run away or jump into the river. It was all my fault, I'm sorry."
  • Jermaine said with a sullen face: "Jill, don't let your sister take all the blame."
  • Juliana snorted lightly, "Walk me out."
  • Selene looked up at Juliana and followed her out.
  • It was a cool autumn night outside the courtyard with a fountain pool.
  • Juliana stopped in front of the fountain pool, then pulled Selene and pushed her forward...
  • With a thud, Selene fell into the pool and was in a mess. She tried to get up: "Jill, you..."
  • However, Juliana kicked her back into the pool: "A daughter out of wedlock is not my sister."
  • All this happened so suddenly.
  • Jermaine was flabbergasted before rushing up and pulling Juliana back: "Why did you push Selene?"
  • Selene was shivering in the pool, with her arms over her chest: "Dad, don't blame Juliana. It's all because of me she got taken back. It doesn't matter as long as she isn't mad at me."
  • Jermaine got fired up: "There's no excuse for her..."
  • Juliana walked to the car of the Leach family and got in it without paying any attention to what they said.
  • Philip glanced at them and said to Jermaine, "Mr. Lewis, the Leach family will take good care of your daughter."
  • Jermaine was too concerned about Selene at the moment to care about how the Leach family would treat Juliana.
  • Philip said goodbye and got into the car, and Jermaine didn't even look up again until the car disappeared.
  • He only worried about Selene, who was pushed into the pool.
  • As her name suggested, Selene had always been the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars.
  • In the car, Philip kept looking at Juliana in the rearview mirror, who looked calm and emotionless, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
  • She seemed quite different from the rumored Juliana.
  • It was dark by the time they got to the house of Leach, which was brightly lit.
  • Old Mr. Leach sat in the living room watching as Juliana came in.
  • The butler said, "Master, this is Miss Lewis."
  • Old Mr. Leach looked up at Juliana and was slightly surprised because she looked completely different from the photos he saw.
  • The Juliana in the photos had red hair, smoky eyes, and red lips, who seemed like a hooligan.
  • But now, Juliana, with rosy lips and pretty white teeth, looked dignified and magnanimous, but also aloof and proud as a wolf, which was somewhat the same as his grandson.
  • Juliana nodded slightly and greeted politely, "Mr. Leach."
  • Old Mr. Leach was quite satisfied that she was generous and not the least bit timid: "I don't care about how you used to be. As long as you behave yourself and do your duty as a young lady from now on, the Leach family will not be hard on you."
