Chapter 170 - 173 Visiting
Compared to Selene's sarcasm in the explicit compliments, Juliana's blunt invective could cause anger more than anything else.
Selene couldn't hold it in at once and looked up at Juliana angrily, but she said aggrievedly, "What did I do to you to make you hold it against me like that?"
Juliana smiled at her, "Your birth is a mistake. That's what happens to a child of a side chick."
"You..." Selene couldn't retort and she tugged at Grandma's sleeve pitifully.
Her eyes were red with tears in them, "Grandma, you see... I came to visit her with good intentions, and this is how she treats me."
In the past, Grandma would have been angry with Juliana and spoken up for Selene.
But now, Grandma also felt that what Selene had said just now might sound like a compliment but was different when she thought about it.
Grandma looked at Selene disgustedly with a sullen face, "You are here to visit Jill. You're not at a funeral. Why do you cry and make it sound like the whole world is bullying you?"
Selene, who still had tears in her eyes, blinked in shock when she heard this and tears rolled down her face.
She looked delicate and pitiful crying like this.
But Benson did not even look at her once.
Grandma was even more unhappy, "If you don't want to come, then don't. It's bad luck to cry in the hospital. The daughter of a mistress just doesn't know what to do."
In the past, Grandma thought Selene was outstanding and had no problem with Suzanne, who was the mistress.
But now, she knew that Suzanne had ruined Juliana and raised Selene to be such a scheming girl.
And she had a big complaint about Suzanne. Recently, she even called Suzanne "mistress" directly.
Selene felt that Grandma's words were more like an invisible slap in her face, making her ashamed of herself.
Grandma took a step to the side to keep Selene from hiding behind her. She said in a deep voice, "Selene, apologize to your sister."
Selene didn't know whether cry out or not. She took a deep breath and held back her tears.
She looked up at Juliana and said, "Jill, I'm sorry. I was wrong about what I said."
Juliana smiled graciously, "It's okay, after all, mad dogs bark and bite sometimes and I can't bite back."
Selene was once again exasperated by Juliana and looked up to glare at Juliana.
But then she saw Grandma's probing eyes falling on her like they were trying to see through her.
Selene didn't say anything else, but stood next to Jayden and looked up to see his face.
Jayden's expression was not quite right from the moment he stood at the door and found the intimacy in the ward, and he remained silent ever since.
The Juliana he had known had been unruly, willful, and self-righteous, but had always humbly followed his lead and done everything to please him.
She would not have hesitated even if he had asked Juliana to die.
But now, it was the Juliana he had never seen before.
She was shy, lovely, and bright. She even looked charming...
All these deadly temptations were only for that madman Benson.
Selene was once again jealous when she saw Jayden like this.
It was fine for Benson to be so nice to Juliana, but why did Jayden, a man who used to treat Juliana like a rag, start to behave differently too.
Selene looked up and saw that Benson, who had just been cold to her, was now being gentle and doting to Juliana as if he was not the same person.
Selene looked at Juliana and said in a weird tone, "Jill, you are so happy to have so many people loving you.. When Jayden heard that you had an accident, he was so anxious that he came over to visit you right away."
