Chapter 54 - 54: Ripped Open
Grandma was so angry that she hit Jermaine on the upper part of his body with her cane, regardless of whether he was lying on the hospital bed or not.
Even Suzanne and Selene, who were trying to stop her, were beaten up.
After a few minutes, Juliana was afraid that Grandma would get too angry, so she went up to her and pulled her back, "Grandma, please stop, your hand will hurt."
Grandma was panting from exhaustion and her lips were trembling.
Juliana helped her sit down and poured warm water for her to drink.
Grandma eased up a bit and breathed a little smoother.
Selene, who had received a stick on her face and had half of her face swollen, was aggrieved, "Grandma, why can't you just ask before you hit us? I have clearly said I would marry Benson instead of Juliana, but she didn't agree to it!"
Suzanne touched the bump on her head and complained, "I wasn't even home the day Jill went to Leach's house, so I didn't know until I got back. I could not help it."
How could Suzanne not know? She knew it and that was why she went out early, in order to gain a positive image of a good stepmother.
Jermaine grimaced with pain in his upper body as well as several knocks to the head.
He said to his mother, "Mom, I told you I had to do it and Jill had agreed to it."
"What's wrong with the Leach's? It's a blessing for her that they accept her."
"Otherwise, who else in F City would marry her with her reputation?"
Jermaine always felt that the marriage to the Leach family was a blessing in Juliana's life and he was not at all at fault.
Suzanne, who had been beaten up, also agreed, "It's a great honor for Jill to marry into the Leach family!"
For many years, Suzanne had lived a smooth life in the Lewis family, so she was able to be gentle and generous, but when she was suddenly beaten, she lost her patience and began to reveal her true nature.
Hearing these words, Grandma was furious again. She picked up her cane and hit her again.
Suzanne immediately backed up and yelled, "I'm not wrong! Jill has such a bad reputation for keeping so many men and sleeping with so many of them. Only Benson the short-lived guy will accept her! Who else dares to marry her?"
Selene hurriedly interrupted Suzanne, "Mom, stop it!'
Did she get out of her mind to say something like that in front of Grandma?
Suzanne turned pale and tried to explain when she saw Grandma looking at her grimly and thought of what she had just said, "Mom... I..."
Grandma sneered at her, "Well, Suzanne, thought you were a good stepmother, but I didn't think that's how you treated Jill!"
Juliana looked up at Suzanne and let out a light breath: "From the day you tweeted, your role as a good stepmother has collapsed. Since you've ripped open the face, there's no use continuing to pretend."
Suzanne saw that Juliana seemed to be a different person in just a few days, and then thought about the past ten years or so, she disguised to please Juliana and never refuted a word.
Now that she had ripped open the face, she should simply be thorough.
So what if it was the Leach family? Benson was going to die soon anyway. Not to mention that Juliana would be killed!
Suzanne glared at Juliana, "You have the nerve to do it, but you don't have the nerve to allow anyone to say it? Do you dare to say that you did not spend money on the men?"
She looked up at Grandma and said, "You only listen to Juliana's side of the story. Why don't you ask her how she forced Selene to marry Benson for her and how she hurt Jermaine's hand? She's the one who should be beaten!"
