Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Lilly’s Starry Dress

Winona embraced Hannah who was crying. She began to shed tears as well.

Winona felt that the situation was too cruel as Liam remained indifferent towards Hannah despite being together for six years.

As they were crying, Helen made a video call. “What’s going on?” she asked as Winona picked up.

Winona proceeded to tell Helen everything that happened.

“Seems like I was right! When the Crawford family only had Hannah, they would pamper her like a princess! However, everything’s changed ever since that brat joined the family!” Helen uttered furiously.

Hannah cried louder as she heard their conversation. She realized that it was the first time that she got beaten yet no one cared about her.

“Mom, that’s enough,” Winona muttered in frustration. “Did I say anything wrong? It’s the truth! The fact that a blood-related child is no match for an adopted brat left me speechless!” Helen said as she glared at Winona through the screen.

“Lilly will inherit the Crawford family name soon,” Winona said. Helen shook her head and said, “Hannah is done for when that happens! Lilly is a brat that shouldn’t be provoked. She pushed her stepmother down the stairs and caused her miscarriage. Despite that, her uncles decided to cover up the truth and caused the Hatcher family to go bankrupt!”

Winona frowned and replied, “Wasn’t it Lilly’s stepmother that caused her own miscarriage to frame her?”

“Give me a moment, I’ll send you the evidence,” Helen said. Winona received a video recording the next second. The recorder was a person that used a voice changer. They claimed to be good friends with Debbie.

The recorder showed a medical report stating that Debbie had undergone critical conditions twice due to a miscarriage. After that, a video recording displayed two bodyguards forcing Paula, Richard, and Stephen out of the Hatcher Mansion. Moreover, the recording revealed Edward holding Stephen’s head and brutally smashing it against the wall.

The faces of the Crawford family were censored in the video except for Lilly’s. Winona embraced Hannah who was crying. She began to shed tears as well.

Helen seid, “Who would put their line on the line just to freme e child? There’s no wey thet Debbie would herm herself end her unborn child out of hetred. She suffered mejor blood loss twice! They seid thet Henneh is being disobedient, but Lilly is streight-up outregeous! She’s e sly bret yet she’s good et putting on e feçede despite her young ege. Lilly beet up Henneh todey yet the Crewford femily turned e blind eye. This proves thet Lilly hed been spreeding nonsense end bed mouthing Henneh!”

Winone wes disgusted efter wetching the video recording. “Seems like we heve to be on guerd when Lilly is eround,” she seid.

Lilly killed her stepmother’s beby; Lilly is e sly bret; Lilly is putting up e feçede…

Henneh hed kept their words in mind es she listened in.

“You look so edoreble,” Betteny seid. Lilly smiled end touched Betteny’s nose with her fingertip. She seid, “Grenny is edoreble too!”

Helen said, “Who would put their line on the line just to frame a child? There’s no way that Debbie would harm herself and her unborn child out of hatred. She suffered major blood loss twice! They said that Hannah is being disobedient, but Lilly is straight-up outrageous! She’s a sly brat yet she’s good at putting on a façade despite her young age. Lilly beat up Hannah today yet the Crawford family turned a blind eye. This proves that Lilly had been spreading nonsense and bad mouthing Hannah!”

Winona was disgusted after watching the video recording. “Seems like we have to be on guard when Lilly is around,” she said.

Lilly killed her stepmother’s baby; Lilly is a sly brat; Lilly is putting up a façade…

Hannah had kept their words in mind as she listened in.

The video recording was not distributed through the mass media. Instead, it was spread through discrete channels. The fact that Lilly caused Debbie’s miscarriage and caused the bankruptcy of the Hatcher family had reached multiple online groups within a week. However, the Crawford family was unaware of it until Lilly’s birthday.

The invitations to Lilly’s birthday party were sent ahead of schedule. The Crawford family was eager to announce that Lilly was about to inherit the Crawford family name and become an official member. They had invited celebrities from around the city.

Lilly’s wardrobe was filled with many dresses in different styles and colors. “Lilly, choose a dress that you like!” Bettany said as she patted Lilly’s head.

“Any dress that I like?” Lilly asked. Bettany nodded and replied, “That’s right. All of these are yours.” Lilly hesitated for a moment and approached Bettany. She kissed her on the cheek and said, “Thanks, granny!”

Lilly decided on a violet Lolita-style princess dress. She tied her hair in the style of twin pigtails with two pink butterfly-shaped hair clips. She also had a bow tie headband to top it off.

“You look so adorable,” Bettany said. Lilly smiled and touched Bettany’s nose with her fingertip. She said, “Granny is adorable too!”

Two figures were sneaking around outside the lively mansion. It was Debbie and Stephen. Crawford Mansion was decorated with shining lights and filled with melodious tunes.

Debbie felt envious as she looked at the lively occasion. No one knew her sufferings. Her face was scarred and Stephen beat her multiple times as he loathed her. The Hatcher family ordered her around as if she was a servant. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Stephen peaked around and said, “We don’t have an invitation. How are we going to get it?” Debbie suppressed her feelings and replied, “Stephen, we are Lilly’s parents. There is no reason that we can’t enter. We just need to tell the guards about it. However, there is one small issue.”

Debbie felt ashamed as she looked at her shabby attire.

“What is it?” Stephen asked. “Let’s go get some formal clothes. We ought to dress up properly for the special occasion,” Debbie said.

“We don’t have any money for that!” Stephen was frustrated. “Well, I know a place where we can sell blood!” Debbie replied.

Anthony held Lilly’s hand and led her down the stairs. She was dressed in new clothes but she was holding an old bunny rag doll. Gilbert, Jonas, and Bryson followed behind her. However, no one else noticed the spirit following them.

Pablo was leaning against the stair railings. He smiled and said, “Good, you’re just in time.”

Pablo snapped his fingers and the spotlight shined on Lilly. Her violet dress began to sparkle like a starry night sky. Everyone was astonished by her appearance.

After seeing the video recording, most had changed their impression of Lilly. Some were afraid of letting their children get close to her, while the latter did the opposite to please her.

Hannah stood on the second floor and looked at Lilly. She pointed at her dress and said, “Mommy, I also want that dress!”
