Chapter 163 - 165 The Call
Juliana's phone rang, breaking the intimacy of the two.
Benson was enjoying it when he was interrupted. He was obviously unpleasant and he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't answer it."
Juliana looked at his wet thin lips and her face flushed a flash
She was sitting on his lap and could feel something strange, which made her face was even redder than ever.
Juliana wanted to stand up, but Benson grabbed her slender waist and said in a voice that was even huskier than before, "If you don't want to be here, don't move."
Juliana did not dare to move at once and said in a low voice, "Let me see who is calling."
Benson did not move either but just held Juliana's slender waist and made her sit on his lap.
His handsome face had restraint and forbearance on it.
It was too difficult for him to have his wife in his arms but he could only kiss her.
Juliana picked up the phone because it was her grandma calling, "Grandma."
Grandma exchanged pleasantries with her before she asked her, "Did you meet with Jayden at the mall the other day?"
Juliana had been too embarrassed to talk on the phone while being held like this.
Now that Grandma was talking about it, the shyness on Juliana's face faded and coldness appeared instead, "I ran into him by chance and Benson knew about it. What's wrong?"
Grandma said, "Selene had a fight with Jayden and she wouldn't say why. It seems she wants to call off the engagement. I heard the maid talking about how they had a fight after you met, so I call to ask you."
After that, Grandma added, "Selene did not say this, but the maid did. No matter how I asked Selene, she would not say anything."
Juliana knew about Selene's character. She would certainly not tell Grandma directly what had happened between her and Jayden, but she would let Grandma know about it in a roundabout way.
Juliana said calmly, "Oh."
She didn't change her expression when she said, "My old friend Lizzy was there too. I saw Jayden and Lizzy kissing and hugging in the stairwell, but I don't know anything else."
Grandma did not just believe what the maid said, so when she heard about it, she called Juliana to ask her first.
Now that Juliana said so, Grandma believed it.
First, Benson was present and it was impossible for him to let Juliana have any affair with Jayden.
Second, Grandma had always been thinking that Lizzy was unsettled and not someone who could be a friend. It was not surprising that she could do such a thing as seduce a rich man.
Juliana knew that her grandma believed her and said carelessly, "Grandma, how come a maid knows so well that I went to the mall? And how come the maid went to you instead of Selene?"
Grandma frowned.
Juliana laughed lightly, "And why didn't Selene say anything? It's none of my business. She could just tell you when you asked her. She made an ambiguous statement as if I really did something wrong to her."
Saying that, she became aggrieved, "If you didn't ask me but scolded me severely, I must have been wronged and I would have hated you."
After Juliana said these words, there was silence at the other end.
A while later, Grandma said, "No, Grandma believes you."
Grandma was not stupid and she understood that the maid should be instructed by Selene to make up bad things about Juliana in front of her.
This made Grandma very angry!
Selene had been such a well-behaved and understanding granddaughter. How could she have learned to be so scheming and to count on Juliana?
Suzanne, her mother, must have failed to teach her well!
Then she, as Suzanne's mother-in-law, had to teach Suzanne a good lesson, as well as Selene, who had gone astray!
