Chapter 89 - 89: Envy
Juliana led them to the lounge area and the maid brought them tea and snacks. Selene\'s eyes widened when she tasted a bite of the pastry. It was actually from Sweetheart Dessert!
Selene\'s eyes widened when she tasted a bite of the pastry. It was actually from Sweetheart Dessert!
The pastries of Sweetheart Dessert were limited to one hundred servings per day, and the cheapest ones were $10,000 a serving. She had only had the pleasure of eating them once.
Now the Leach family was serving their guests with them!
Selene was once again envious!
Selene licked the crumbs of pastry on her lips and looked up at Juliana, "Jill, why didn\'t I see Benson?"
Juliana glanced at her lightly, "Are you here to visit me or my husband? You\'re so concerned about my husband when your fiancé is around. If there’s nobody else here, you are going to climb into his bed, aren’t you?"
Jayden looked at Selene questioningly.
Selene\'s face turned sullen in an instant. She bowed her head and said in a low voice, "I only think it\'s a little rude of Benson not to come and say hello when Grandma visits for the first time."
Juliana, "Grandma hasn\'t said she would come in advance, so she won\'t blame him."
Grandma nodded, "I‘m not here to visit him. I\'m here to see Jill. It\'s good that you\'re okay."
The news had spread out yesterday when Grandma had no time to come. Today, she hurried here for fear that something might have happened to Juliana.
Now, seeing that Juliana was safe and sound, she was finally relieved.
Grandma looked at Juliana and asked, "Did Benson really have an attack the day before yesterday?"
She had heard about it before.
She had seen how gorgeous Benson had been and she doubted those rumors that slandered him.
Juliana answered, "He was just in a bad mood and was a little upset. It\'s okay, Grandma, he\'s fine."
Jayden looked over, "Several of the bodyguards have been sent to the hospital. How could you say he was just upset?"
Juliana looked at Jayden coldly, "Why? Does it make you feel superior to speak ill of the host in someone else\'s home?"
Selene said softly, "How can you say that about Jayden? He is very concerned about you and he hasn\'t slept well for two days after he heard that Benson had an attack.\'
Juliana looked at Jayden, who was in high spirits, and let out a light snort, "He really cares about someone else\'s wife."
Jayden was getting the pastry and paused when he heard that.
Grandma turned her head to look at Jayden, "You are Selene\'s fiancé, you should care more about Selene."
He should have paid less attention to Juliana.
Grandma didn\'t want Juliana to revert back to her old self because of a few words of concern from Jayden.
Grandma once again asked about Benson with unease and was completely relieved when she confirmed that the rumors were just too exaggerated.
"Now, they all say Benson has gone crazy and killed someone again. Those people are really talking irresponsibly."
Juliana laughed lightly, "If he did kill someone, he will be brought to justice."
According to the rumors, Benson was a murderous madman and had no difference from a serial killer. Such a murderer could not be protected by any amount of wealth or power.
Grandma thought about it and laughed at herself for believing such rumors.
Selene said to Juliana after looking around, "It\'s a rare visit for Grandma. Why don\'t you show her around so she can feel more at ease?"
Juliana glanced at her coldly, thinking what she was up to again.
Grandma was interested in the place where Juliana lived and showed an expression of wanting to take a look around.
Juliana then stood up and took them for a walk.
Selene followed behind with a wicked smile on her lips.
