Chapter 15: Going Home

Harlan looked at her and smiled lightly, "Okay." Juliana was a bit embarrassed and went upstairs to shower and change her clothes. When she came downstairs, breakfast was already on the table and old Mr. Wood and Harlan were waiting for her. Juliana sat do and said, "Good morning, Grandpa." Old Mr. Wood looked at her and became more and more satisfied with her. He smiled with a loving face: "I have prepared all the gifts for your return, see what is still missing." She had gotten her marriage certificate yesterday and it was decent if she visited her parents' home today. Juliana drank the milk and answered, "Those are enough. Thank you, Grandpa." Old Mr. Wood said, "We are a family now, you don't have to be too polite. By the way, there is a bid for the land in the south of the city. Tell your father to pay more attention to it because I have already arranged for it." He meant that the land in the south of the city had been decided for the Lewis Group. Juliana looked up at him: "Grandpa, you don't have to help Jermaine. Besides, Lewis Group can't afford the project of that land in the south of the city." Although Juliana had done nothing good, she had studied very hard to get Jermaine's attention and to be recognized by Jayden. That was why she had some understanding of the company. The plan for that land in the south of the city was so huge that Lewis Group had not enough money to invest in this land. Old Mr. Wood looked at Juliana in surprise, then said, "Juliana, you own Lewis Group too, don't give it to others." Juliana slightly paused, thinking of the delicate relationship among the Lewis family and the fact that she was now in desperate need of money and power. Moreover, Lewis Group was a company that Juliana's mother had built up from nothing with Jermaine. She could not give it all to Jermaine nor could she ruin Juliana's mother's hard work. When leaving, Juliana asked Harlan for the pills he had been taking, which she wanted to take to the lab. Juliana didn't let Philip drive her but drove herself back to Lewis's house. When she entered the door, she saw Selene sitting on the couch, who stood up at the sight of her. Selene greeted her with a happy face. Seeing Juliana looking beautiful with no makeup, she froze and then smiled, "Jill, you're finally back. Are you okay? Did Harlan hurt you?" Selene looked Juliana up and down, trying to find a trace of injury from her body. However, apart from the bruises on Juliana's arms and neck, there were no injuries anywhere, let alone a broken arm or leg. Juliana looked at the disappointment on her face and raised her eyebrows with a smile, "Are you disappointed that I'm not hurt?" Selene said with a smile on her face, "How can that be? It's good that you're fine. I was so worried about you that I haven't slept for two nights. Look, I've got dark circles under my eyes." Juliana glanced at her, "How ugly." The smile on Selene's face froze. No woman would like to be called ugly. She bowed her head a little shyly: "It's OK if Jayden doesn't mind me being ugly." Juliana looked down at Selene deliberately touching the diamond ring on her left ring finger, raised her eyebrows slightly, pretended not to see it, and sat down straight on the sofa. 　　Selene sat opposite Juliana and continued to play with the diamond ring on her left hand: "Jill, Jayden has proposed to me. This is the diamond ring he bought for me. It cost $200,000." Yesterday, Jayden took Selene to buy a diamond ring and flowers as a proposal after getting an injection. Juliana raised her eyebrows at her: "So?" Selene was showing off. She looked at Juliana innocently and expectantly, "You're married and you can't love Jayden anymore, so can you give your blessing to me and Jayden?" Juliana looked at her and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Well, I wish you infertility and many children."
