Chapter 32: Hold you

The second floor of the auction.

Juliana was leaning against the window in a VIP box on the second floor and looking down at the first floor when she saw Jayden and Selene.

The two were whispering. Juliana didn't know what they were talking about, but Selene blushed and gently snuggled into Jayden's arms.

Benson stood at her side, followed her gaze, and saw it was Jayden.

His brow furrowed and he asked lightly, "What are you looking at?"

Juliana sensed a hint of danger, but she answered matter-of-factly, "I'm looking at the trashes and wondering what they're here for tonight."

Benson looked at her, replied lightly, and called Channing, "Go find out what Jayden Hodges and Selene Lewis donated and what they're going to bid on."

The charity auction today was a little different from the previous ones.

The guests each donated an item to be auctioned, and if they liked what other people offered, they bid for it.

The proceeds of the auction would be donated to the charity foundation.

Well, it could be described as an exchange of one thing for another.

Of course, it was also social intercourse in another way.

Juliana was quite interested, after all, it was fun to humiliate Selene and Jayden in public.

She leaned against the window, looking down at the floor, and heard Selene at this moment because she was no longer whispering.

"I heard Mr. Leach brought his wife to the auction this time, but I don't know if it's true or not."

The woman next to Selene was obviously acquainted with Selene, who touched Selene's arm and asked, "Selene, I heard that Mr. Leach's wife is your sister, is it true?"

Now, it was known in the city that old Mr. Leach had taken Juliana to the Leach family.

But it was not known if it was true or not.

Selene was not quite happy when Juliana was mentioned, but she smiled, "It's true, no matter how my sister used to be, she's destined for Mr. Leach."

Juliana slightly raised her eyebrows. Selene truly reminded everyone of Juliana's dark history all the time.

They all started to gossip once they heard it was true.

"So, is Mr. Leach really that ugly?"

"Isn't Mr. Leach a violent and crazy person? Is your sister okay now?"

These questions reminded Selene of Benson, the proud and handsome man, and Juliana, who seemed to be favored by him.

Selene couldn't quite keep the smile on her face. She smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I can't talk about Mr. Leach to the public."

The gossips subconsciously thought she had acquiesced to their comments.

"It seems Mr. Leach is really ugly and violent. He's just a rich maniac."

"Juliana is so poor. Without Mr. Leach, she would have been able to keep her toyboy and live a happy life, but now she's been beaten by Mr. Leach and hospitalized."

Selene felt the gaze, subconsciously looked up at the second floor, only to see the figures but not the faces.

Did Benson and Juliana come here?

Selene hurriedly reminded the people next to her, "The auction is starting, let's stop talking."

She hadn't said anything bad just now, had she?

Upstairs, Benson looked down at Juliana, "Toyboy and a happy life without me?"

Juliana was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly said, "And I have been beaten by you and sent to the hospital? You can't listen to them. I only want to hold you for the rest of my life now."

Benson grunted, pulled her back by a step, then took a step forward and stood in front of her, his tall body blocking her view of the downstairs.

Juliana looked up to stare at the back of his head and was confused.

Benson scowled, straightened his back, and said in a deep voice, "For you to live the rest of your life."
