The crowd looked at Benson in shock.
He was talking about cutting off one’s hands? It was not like chopping off a pig’s hooves or a cabbage!
How could he say it so easily?
Zoe’s face turned pale and full of fear in an instant. She got down on her knees and begged for forgiveness regardless of the pain, “Mr. Leach, I know I was wrong. Don’t be angry with me, please.”
It was Benson, who had been insane for more than ten years, and he would really cut off her hands if he said so.
Even the Jennings family had to show respect to the Leach family.
Therefore, if Benson really cut off her hands, the Jennings family would not help her out and she could only suffer the loss herself.
At this moment, Zoe was literally terrified.
Zoe did not only kneel down but also bowed her head hard, only to beg Benson to retract his words.
Benson did not even frown at this scene but turned his head to look at Juliana, “My Mrs. Leach is not happy.”
It was no use begging him. Zoe had to beg Mrs. Leach.
Zoe immediately turned to Juliana, “Miss Lewis…”
Benson narrowed his eyes dangerously, “Hmm?”
Zoe changed her words at once, “Mrs. Leach, I know I was wrong. You’re so generous. Please forgive me. I beg you.”
Juliana looked down at Zoe who was knocking her head on the ground like crazy. Her forehead touched the floor, stained with dessert, and seemed to have some blood on it.
But Juliana had not the slightest sympathy for her.
Juliana said coldly, “Minna’s hand was pierced by the pieces of porcelain. Pay her back a wound yourself.”
These words made Zoe, who was begging for mercy, freeze and look up at Juliana in shock.
After just one look, Zoe bit her lip, closed her eyes, raised her left hand, and pressed it hard against the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.
It was so painful that Zoe’s face turned pale and she broke out in a cold sweat when the porcelain pieces pierced her palm, but she gritted her teeth and did not dare to scream.
Her ruthless action shocked the onlookers.
How cruel!
Zoe took a deep breath to keep herself from screaming out in pain and just asked through clenched teeth, “Is it okay now?”
Juliana said calmly, “Apologize to Minna. If she says it’s okay, it’s okay.”
Zoe turned to Minna with her head down, “Minna, I’m sorry for just now. I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
Minna was shocked to see Zoe like that. She had never seen such a bloody scene.
Minna waved her hand and said, “Forget it.”
She wouldn’t say “it’s okay” because she knew that if it wasn’t for Juliana and Benson, this would have happened to her today.
Only then did Zoe get up from the floor.
Juliana said indifferently, “Minna is injured and her clothes got dirty, so pay her for the clothes and lost wages. It’s not much. A million dollars will do.”
Zoe did not dare to say more, “Okay.”
Minna opened her mouth but did not say anything in the end.
By the time the lobby manager got the surveillance video, Zoe had already gone away in dejection.
However, Benson still asked the manager to play the video so that everyone could see clearly that it was Zoe who started the trouble and what happened later.
Juliana smiled helplessly when she saw him like this, “Actually, it’s not necessary.”
People here didn’t care what the truth was.
All they cared about was who had the greater power.
Benson looked at her and said, “It’s necessary.”
“You had a bad reputation before because I wasn’t there.
Now, I won’t subject you to any trumped-up accusations.”
Juliana looked at Benson, and although he didn’t say it, she understood what he meant.
She felt her heart warm.
This was Benson, who was only nice to her.
