Old Mr. Leach didn't insist, "Call Benson if you need anything."
Juliana would eventually take on the responsibility of the Leach family, so it was good for her to experience more.
Juliana agreed and left for her home.
...
When she arrived, she found quite a lot of people there, as if there was a small party.
Just as she entered the door, she heard sarcastic comments. action

Juliana looked towards the one speaking, who was a middle-aged woman with curly hair and a leopard-print dress, with a rich and yet flirtatious face.
Looking at that face, Juliana only went over it in her head and then remembered who it was.
It was Juliana's aunt, Miriam Lewis.
Miriam spoke harshly and was extremely talkative with the ability to turn the facts upside down.
Miriam did not treat Juliana well. While blaming Juliana for losing money, she asked Juliana for money to gamble and play with young men.
Because Miriam was divorced and out of a job.
Now, Juliana didn't bother to pay attention to Miriam. She was not as stupid as the previous Juliana, who had been pleasing Miriam even though she had been scolded.
Miriam saw that Juliana was ignoring her and suddenly pounded the table in anger, "Juliana, is it your manner that you don't even greet your elders when you come back?"
Suzanne said hypocritically, "Miriam, Jill has always been like this. Don't blame her."
She seemed to be speaking for Juliana, but in fact, she was saying that Juliana had no manners since she was a child.
Miriam looked at Juliana with disgust, "That's right, what manners can an uneducated money-loser have? For your stepmother's sake, I won't argue with you. Now bring me tea, apologize to me, and I'll forgive you."
Juliana raised her eyes and glanced at her, "My mother has died early, but my father and aunt are still alive. So, my lack of manners is because you guys didn't set a good example."
Miriam stood up in anger, "Juliana, is this how you talk to your elders? Huh?"
Juliana's words were clearly a curse on her death.
Suzanne hurriedly said, "Jill, apologize to your aunt now. There are so many people here today and it's inappropriate to make a scene."
Many elders of the Lewis family were here today, including close relatives such as aunts and uncles and distant relatives such as Granduncle Owen.
All of them were people who had a say in the Lewis family and had more or less shares or positions in the Lewis Group.

Granduncle Owen, who was in his old age with a cane in his hand, said in a deep voice, "I didn't care how you were before, but now I must teach you a lesson because you are so uncouth."
Juliana looked around and saw that the people who came were all elders of importance.
Jermaine was only going to give her the share transfer letter, how come all these elders were called in?
And there were a lot of blabbermouths among the elders.
Suzanne kindly persuaded Miriam, "Jill is still young." Miriam, don't take it too seriously."
Miriam sneered, "She's already married and asking for the division of property. How come she's still young? Oh, I heard that she has asked why Selene was not young enough to be a fertilized egg. Well, now I'll give those words back to her."
Juliana raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at all the elders and understood why Jermaine had invited them here.
It was to force her to give up her stake.
If she didn't give up, they would make her reputation unsavory after she left.
She would definitely be criticized behind her back in the future.
Thinking about it, Juliana's gaze turned cold. They really thought she was a pushover!
