Miss Mystery Got Busted
Chapter 20: Substitution

Benson's voice was not cold but even much gentler than it had been earlier.

But such a voice made Juliana feel cold all over and scared inside.

She felt that if she said the word "yes", he would break her neck and probably pull out her tongue.

Juliana thought about the wording carefully before she explained, "I didn't agree. But Suzanne and Selene were crying and begging to replace me, so I have to let them do it."

"It's also a good opportunity to see if they genuinely love me and want to help me; or if they want to smear me in front of you and get a reputation as a good stepmother and a good sister in the process." Benson: "So, did you agree?"

Juliana frowned. Why was this man fixated on the answer?

"If they sincerely..."

Benson interrupted her in an indefinite voice, "Then let's change."

Juliana: "Okay."

Suzanne and Selene, however, stared at each other anxiously with wide eyes as they listened.

They were just talking because they knew the Leach family wouldn't agree! How could they really let Selene get married instead?

Benson's voice was even colder: "I'll send someone to pick up Selene from your home right away!"

These words sounded murderous.

Benson agreed, which made Suzanne and the others panic even more.

Jermaine came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Mr. Leach, this is a joke from Jill. We're not really going to do it."

Benson: "Mr. Lewis, do you think I, a dying man, am a joke to you?"

The cold voice made Jermaine feel murderous and the fear covered his forehead with fine sweat, "Mr. Leach, it was Jill's joke, not ours." The cold voice made Jermaine feel murderous and the fear covered his forehead with fine sweat, "Mr. Leach, it was Jill's joke, not ours."

"Besides, only Jill's eight characters are compatible with yours, not Selene's."

Selene was the apple of his eye and the brilliant person he had raised.

Although the Leach family was rich and powerful, he could not really let his beloved daughter marry into the Leach family. Even if she would not be killed, she would be a widow next year, which would bury Selene's talent.

Juliana slightly raised her eyebrows: "Good stepmother, good sister, Benson has agreed. Are you still willing to replace me?"

Her words were so sarcastic that Suzanne and Selene had no way to back down.

If they agreed, Selene would really have to marry Benson Leach.

If not, they would be hypocrites.

Holding back her fears, Suzanne said, "If old Mr. Leach agrees, Selene must say yes."

Juliana said, "Why don't I call Grandpa and ask him?"

Selene panicked and waved her hands, "No, no, no."

Everyone knew that old Mr. Leach loved his grandson more than anything else and was willing to do whatever Benson wanted.

When the time came, it would be even harder for her to refuse, and she would have to marry Benson.

Jayden pulled Selene into his arms and yelled at Juliana: "You are jealous of Selene because she has both talent and beauty and that she has me as her fiancé, so you want to ruin her by making her marry Benson Leach instead of you. Juliana, you are evil!"

Juliana asked rhetorically, "So, you guys don't think Benson is good enough for Selene but only for me, a good-for-nothing?"

Benson's low and cold voice came out of the quiet phone this time: "Hmm."

Jermaine, Suzanne, and Selene broke out in a cold sweat of fear at his voice.

Benson didn't hang up yet. He's a conceited and proud man. If they said he wasn't good enough for Selene, he could get mad and kill someone.

It wasn't illegal for a madman to kill someone.

Even more, if the Leach family suppressed the Lewis family, they would have no way to live.

Even though Benson was not present, Jermaine subconsciously bowed to the phone as he explained, "Mr. Leach, we are not..."

Not waiting for him to finish, Benson interrupted him coldly.
