Chapter 53 - 53: Beating Soundly
Grandma had wondered about Juliana\'s marriage and now she heard that Juliana had married Benson.
She was even more astonished, "Jill, you\'re married to Benson Leach?"
Juliana nodded, "Yes."
Grandma trembled slightly, "Is it that crazy Benson Leach in F City who is mentally ill and has beaten seven or eight women away in a month or so, making all the women in F City afraid of him?"
Juliana frowned and answered in a slightly cold voice, "Grandma, he\'s not crazy, and he\'s not mentally ill."
Selene also said, "Yes, Grandma, Benson is very nice to Jill."
Grandma got angry, "How nice can he be? Benson is a madman and a murderer. Even if he\'s nice to Jill today, he might do it to her tomorrow."
She took Juliana\'s hand and ordered directly, "Grandma does not approve of this marriage. Go and divorce him now! You must get a divorce!"
Suzanne hurriedly pulled Grandma, "Mom, Jill finally got married to a family like the Leach\'s and Benson treats her well, so why ask her to get a divorce?"
Jermaine said, "Mom, it\'s the Leach family. If Jill really asks for a divorce, they will make it difficult for our family."
Selene hurriedly added, "Benson really treats Jill well and he won\'t beat her. Even if ...... even if he does, that won\'t kill her."
On hearing this, Grandma broke out in a cold sweat and gasped, "We don\'t sell our daughters. I\'ll never let Jill go to her death even if I have to offend the Leach family."
Seeing that Grandma did not look quite right and was having trouble breathing, Juliana hurriedly helped her sit down, "Take it easy, Grandma, talk slowly."
Juliana stroked Grandma\'s back and pressed the part of her hand between the thumb and the index finger.
Only then did Grandma feel better but she was still gasping for breath, pulling Juliana tightly with tears coming out of her eyes, "Jill, I already feel sorry for your mother for not teaching you well. I will never let you go to your death again."
She cried, "Grandma would rather you keep on being ignorant than marry Benson, because you may get killed! You have to get a divorce."
She raised her hand and wiped a tear: "If Benson doesn\'t agree to divorce, Grandma will run over his door."
Grandma was genuinely worried for Juliana\'s safety, fearing that she might lose her life.
Over the years, they all knew what Benson\'s reputation was like in F City.
Juliana understood Selene\'s evil intentions when she saw how emotional Grandma was and how she insisted on the divorce.
If Juliana listened to Grandma and divorced Benson, she would lose her 20 percent stake, lose Benson\'s support, and offend the Leach family.
But if she didn\'t listen to Grandma and get a divorce, which might cause Grandma to die, she\'d be guilty and a bad reputation for getting Grandma killed for the rest of her life.
Either way, she would not get a good ending.
Juliana calm Grandma down, "Grandma, it was my father who forced me to marry Benson, and Suzanne and Selene also agreed and were eager for me to go."
Hearing this, Grandma suddenly looked up at Jermaine.
Jermaine hurriedly explained, "I was forced to do so, it was the Leach family who wanted Jill."
Grandma stood up, grabbed her cane, and hit Jermaine\'s arm, "You bastard! You forced Jill to marry a lunatic! Are you a father?"
Suzanne and Selene rushed to stop her, "Mom, don\'t hit him! Jermaine had no choice... ah!"
Before the words were finished, Grandma turned her cane to them and scolded them while beating them.
