Miss Mystery Got Busted

Chapter 24: Favoritism

Philip looked at Jermaine who showed such favoritism, sneered, and said with a more resolute attitude, NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"I don't care if it's a joke. Since Selene agreed to it, she should get in the car. It's not your turn to say

no."

Jermaine: "Mr. Lee, it's really Jill's fault..."

Philip raised his hand and gave a direct order, "Take Miss Selene Lewis to the car."

He came with four strong bodyguards, who immediately walked towards Selene when they heard the

order.

Selene was so scared that she hid behind Suzanne, her fear making her forget her disguise, "Mom, I

don't want to go to the Leach family. I don't want to marry Benson, that crazy, short-lived man."

Philip had watched as Benson grew up and treated him no differently than his own son. When he heard

Selene say that about the young master, he was furious, "Carry Selene into the coffin. The young

master is crazy and will kill her anyway. Since she has to die, it'd be more convenient if we just put her

into the coffin and send her to the cremation."

The bodyguards followed the order without speaking. They pushed Suzanne away and went to grab

Selene.

Selene screamed in terror and grabbed Jayden's arm in a hurry, "Jayden, save me. I don't want to lie in

a coffin."

Jayden opened his arms to shield Selene behind him and looked up at Philip, "Selene is my fiancée.

Please show me and the Hodges family some respect, Mr. Lee."

Philip looked Jayden up and down, who was still bruised and swollen from the fall caused by the dog

chasing him yesterday.

Philip snorted disdainfully, "Since when does the Leach family need to show respect to the Hodges?"

He raised his hand to signal the bodyguards to do it while saying, "Beat up whoever stops Selene from

getting into the car today!"

The bodyguards grabbed Jayden's arms, clenched their fists, and punched Jayden hard in the

stomach.

"Ah!" Jayden's face turned pale with pain.

Selene wanted to help him, "Jayden, ah... Let go of me! Mom and Dad, help me!"

The two bodyguards grabbed Selene and walked towards the coffin.

Selene screamed in fear and reached for Jayden, "Help me, Jayden."

Jayden looked up painfully, but the other two bodyguards grabbed him and beat him badly.

Jayden was immediately beaten to the ground screaming, begging for mercy, and dared to save

Selene.

Jermaine could not let his baby daughter die and stepped forward to stop them and pull Selene back:

"Mr. Lee..."

However, before he could touch Selene, he was kicked away by a bodyguard.

Whoever stopped them today would be beaten up.

Seeing this, Suzanne was even more afraid to stop them, but she hurried forward, "Mr. Lee, Selene

has a fiancé and she is not good enough for Mr. Leach. Besides, how can a sister steal her brother-in-

law from her sister?"

Philip glanced at Suzanne with a look of mockery and disdain in his eyes, "If Mrs. Lewis don't want

Selene to go, just say so. There's no need to make up excuses to play your role as a good

stepmother."

Suzanne said cheekily, "I am doing Jill a favor. She has a bad reputation and no one in F City likes her.

It's a blessing for her that Mr. Leach doesn't mind it. No matter what will happen to Mr. Leach in the

future, Jill will live a good life. "

Juliana heard it when she came down from upstairs. She mocked, "I'm giving this blessing to Selene.

You're welcome."

Philip was satisfied with Juliana's attitude. She was not a pushover, which was the way the young lady

should be.

He ordered again, "Throw Selene in the coffin."
