Chapter 4: Pushed Her

There was also a middle-aged man standing in the living room. When he saw her coming down, he stepped forward to take her luggage and nodded his head respectfully, "Miss Lewis." It was Philip Lee, the butler of the Wood family. The Wood family had sent him to pick Juliana up, showing their regard for her. Selene looked at her apologetically, "Jill, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Juliana stopped in front of her, looked at her in a condescending manner, and said indifferently: "Are you apologizing for failing to help me escape or for pushing me into the river?" It was Selene who helped Juliana escape today. But not long after Juliana ran out, Jermaine came after her. Standing by the river, Juliana threatened him with death not to get married. Selene came over to persuade her, but then she pushed her down the river. Word spread throughout the city that Juliana Lewis would rather die than marry Harlan Wood. Both Jermaine and Philip looked over significantly. Selene panicked all at once, her eyes downcast: "I'm sorry. You didn't want to run away or jump into the river. It was all my fault, I'm sorry." Jermaine said with a sullen face: "Jill, don't let your sister take all the blame." Juliana snorted lightly, "Walk me out." Selene looked up at Juliana and followed her out. It was a cool autumn night outside the courtyard with a fountain pool. Juliana stopped in front of the fountain pool, then pulled Selene and pushed her forward... With a thud, Selene fell into the pool and was in a mess. She tried to get up: "Jill, you..." However, Juliana kicked her back into the pool: "A daughter out of wedlock is not my sister." All this happened so suddenly. Jermaine was flabbergasted before rushing up and pulling Juliana back: "Why did you push Selene?" Selene was shivering in the pool, with her arms over her chest: "Dad, don't blame Juliana. It's all because of me she got taken back. It doesn't matter as long as she isn't mad at me." Jermaine got fired up: "There's no excuse for her..." Juliana walked to the car of the Wood family and got in it without paying any attention to what they said. Philip glanced at them and said to Jermaine, "Mr. Lewis, the Wood family will take good care of your daughter." Jermaine was too concerned about Selene at the moment to care about how the Wood family would treat Juliana. Philip said goodbye and got into the car, and Jermaine didn't even look up again until the car disappeared. He only worried about Selene, who was pushed into the pool. As her name suggested, Selene had always been the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. In the car, Philip kept looking at Juliana in the rearview mirror, who looked calm and emotionless, as if everything had nothing to do with her. She seemed quite different from the rumored Juliana. It was dark by the time they got to the house of Wood, which was brightly lit. Old Mr. Wood sat in the living room watching as Juliana came in. The butler said, "Master, this is Miss Lewis." Old Mr. Wood looked up at Juliana and was slightly surprised because she looked completely different from the photos he saw. The Juliana in the photos had red hair, smoky eyes, and red lips, who seemed like a hooligan. But now, Juliana, with rosy lips and pretty white teeth, looked dignified and magnanimous, but also aloof and proud as a wolf, which was somewhat the same as his grandson. Juliana nodded slightly and greeted politely, "Mr. Wood." Old Mr. Wood was quite satisfied that she was generous and not the least bit timid: "I don't care about how you used to be. As long as you behave yourself and do your duty as a young lady from now on, the Wood family will not be hard on you."
