Benson stood still and did not move, “Okay.”
Juliana raised her head to look at the balcony, where there was no glass and only the railing around it.
Fortunately, there was no floor-to-ceiling glass, or else Benson could have seen the scene behind him without turning around from the reflection of the glass.
Just thinking about how close Benson came to seeing it made Juliana’s heart burn with anger.
Juliana said to Benson, “Don’t worry, I trust you. I’ll go fix it.”
Benson, who was afraid of Juliana’s misunderstanding, was relieved when he heard this.
He stood like a statue with his back to them.
Channing felt like he had one foot in hell when he saw that Selene had only her underwear left.
It was horrible.
Thinking, Channing looked around, then picked up the carpet under the coffee table in the hospitality area, and threw it over Selene’s body to cover her tightly.
Selene was disgusted and wanted to take the carpet off.
But Juliana looked at her and said coldly, “If you don’t want to go out naked, cover yourself with the carpet.”
This remark made Selene’s hair stand on end. She didn’t dare to throw the carpet away, but she didn’t wrap herself up tightly either.
She looked up at Juliana, “Jill, you’ve got it all wrong. It’s not the way you see it. The zipper on my dress was broken, and that’s why my dress fell off. Nothing has happened between me and Mr. Leach.”
Selene didn’t think Juliana really believed that there was nothing going on between her and Benson.
A woman’s jealousy could be very dangerous.
Even if Juliana said that she believed him now, this would absolutely become a thorn in Juliana’s heart and would create a gap between her and Benson.
In the future, it would be difficult for Juliana to believe Benson, and the misunderstanding between the two would become bigger and bigger.
Could Juliana’s life still be good in this way?
Juliana walked up to Selene, looked down at her, and asked in a cold voice, “Oh, tell me, what did I see?”
Selene raised her head to show the marks on her neck, with a soft and gentle expression on her face but a look of total provocation in her eyes.
She said gently, “You have to believe Mr. Leach. There was really something wrong with my dress. But if you had come a little later, Mr. Leach and I wouldn’t have been able to explain it. So don’t be angry.”
What Selene meant by this was that if Juliana had come a little later, things would not have been the way they were now and maybe Benson would have done something to her.
She was sowing discord between Juliana and Benson.
Juliana looked down at Selene coldly, seeing that she was tilting her head and trying hard to show the red marks on her snow-white skin.
Juliana snorted mockingly, “Selene, you’re good.”
She was good at looking for trouble!
Selene saw the look in her eyes and looked away sheepishly. She raised her hand to cover the red marks on her neck and said with a shy look, “Jill, these are not hickeys… I got them by accident.”
Saying that, Selene even deliberately glanced at Benson and then explained more anxiously, “Jill, you have to believe Mr. Leach and me. We really didn’t do anything.”
Ordinary people hearing such a statement would really think that Benson had something going on with Selene.
But Juliana was no ordinary person.
Juliana looked down at Selene coldly as if she was looking at a clown.
She said mockingly, “Selene, your acting skills are quite impressive. You can be an actress and maybe you can win an Academy Award for Best Actress.”
Selene said in an injured tone, “Jill, there’s really nothing going on between Mr. Leach and me. You can disbelieve me, but you can’t distrust Mr. Leach, he’s… Ah!”
