Benson's voice was not cold but even much gentler than it had been earlier.
But such a voice made Juliana feel cold all over and scared inside.
She felt that if she said the word "yes", he would break her neck and probably pull out her tongue.
Juliana thought about the wording carefully before she explained, "I didn't agree. But Suzanne and Selene were crying and begging to replace me, so I have to let them do it."
"It's also a good opportunity to see if they genuinely love me and want to help me; or if they want to smear me in front of you and get a reputation as a good stepmother and a good sister in the process."
Benson: "So, did you agree?"
Juliana frowned. Why was this man fixated on the answer?
"If they sincerely..."
Benson interrupted her in an indefinite voice, "Then let's change."
Juliana: "Okay."
Suzanne and Selene, however, stared at each other anxiously with wide eyes as they listened.
They were just talking because they knew the Leach family wouldn't agree! How could they really let Selene get married instead?
Benson's voice was even colder: "I'll send someone to pick up Selene from your home right away!"
These words sounded murderous.
Benson agreed, which made Suzanne and the others panic even more.
Jermaine came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Mr. Leach, this is a joke from Jill. We're not really going to do it."
Benson: "Mr. Lewis, do you think I, a dying man, am a joke to you?"
The cold voice made Jermaine feel murderous and the fear covered his forehead with fine sweat, "Mr. Leach, it was Jill's joke, not ours."
The cold voice made Jermaine feel murderous and the fear covered his forehead with fine sweat, "Mr. Leach, it was Jill's joke, not ours."
"Besides, only Jill's eight characters are compatible with yours, not Selene's."
