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.
