Chapter 23: Funeral

Jermaine also turned pale and was even annoyed when he saw the scene outside.

"Go take a look."

They walked out.

Juliana was on the balcony on the second floor where she saw more clearly than they did.

Here came a funeral procession with a lot of flowers on the cars. They even carried an ice coffin down from a hearse.

Moreover, the funeral procession was playing wedding music.

Jermaine and the others got furious and yet their legs went weak when they saw it, which was ridiculous.

Juliana lowered her eyes and laughed lightly: "Benson is really out of my expectation."

From the moment Benson agreed with the substitution, she knew that things were not simple.

However, she only thought that Benson would pick up Selene, beat her badly, and send her back.

She didn't expect him to make it so comforting!

Jermaine watched as these people moved things up and down, forcefully carried the ice coffin to the courtyard, set up a wreath, and started playing music.

He was so angry that he lost his head, "Who are you? What are you doing? Who told you to come here? Do you know where this is? You..."

Before Jermaine could finish his words, he heard a familiar voice.

"Mr. Lewis, do you have a complaint against the Leach family?"

Jermaine turned pale when he looked up and saw Philip, who had gotten out of the car behind him.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Lee, you're here to pick up Jill, right? I'll call her down right away."

Philip stepped forward and gazed at Selene.

Selene was so scared that she hid behind Suzanne, trying to minimize her sense of presence, fearing that Philip was here to pick her up.

Jermaine's heart also thumped audibly and he looked up and shouted at Juliana who was watching the show on the balcony, "Jill, Mr. Lee is here to pick you up. Come down quickly. Don't keep Mr. Lee waiting for a long time."

Juliana laughed lightly and turned around to go downstairs.

Philip faked a smile and said, "Mr. Lewis, the young master asked me to pick Miss Selene up."

Hearing this, Selene anxiously grabbed Suzanne's shirt as she whispered, "Mom, I don't want to go."

Suzanne gave her a look that indicated her to be quiet.

Jermaine said with a grin, "Mr. Lee, it was Jill that the Leach family asked for. How did it become Selene today?"

Philip suddenly ceased to smile, "Jermaine, it was Selene who asked for a substitution. Why can't we come and pick her up?"

Jermaine felt the pressure and tried to explain, "No..."

Philip snorted coldly and interrupted him, "Our young master does have a bit of a bad reputation, but it's not your turn to pick on the Leach family."

He looked grimly at Selene, "Either Selene gets in the car today, or Lewis Group declares bankruptcy tomorrow. Mr. Lewis, please think about it."

Although Philip was a butler, he had an air of authority because he had been working for old Mr. Leach for many years.

Today, Philip came to represent the peremptory attitude of the Leach family.

Old Mr. Leach had inquired about Juliana and learned about her situation in the Lewis family after choosing her.

Now, old Mr. Leach knew that the hypocritical stepmother and her daughter were trying to gain a good reputation by stepping on Juliana.

Now, old Mr. Leach knew that the hypocritical stepmother and her daughter were trying to gain a good reputation by stepping on Juliana.

He would not let them go easily. He asked Philip to support Juliana today!

Jermaine raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, "Mr. Lee, this is all Jill's joking. She doesn't like Mr. Leach, but it has nothing to do with Selene and us."
