Chapter 89 If Dad Is Like That, I Don’t Want Him
The reason why Lilly noticed the woman in red was due to the ghost on her back.
Seeing the woman in red, Pablo said, “Hmm? Another malignant spirit?”From the crying spirit that escaped, to the vanity spirit on Cheryl, to this one… Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Tsk, are malignant spirits that common now?” Pablo mumbled as he glanced at Lilly.
Her luck was great. There would be a ghost wherever Tulip went. Others would have to work hard to find ghosts, but ghosts would appear wherever Lilly was. Tsk, tsk…
“That’s called a weakling spirit. I’ll help you record it,” Pablo said. Once it was recorded, there was no chance for it to escape like the crying spirit.
Lilly did not say anything. She kept staring at the man not far away from the woman in red.
The man was really tall and dressed in bed. His slightly curly hair hung in front of his eyes, making him look cold yet handsome.
Lilly had a strange feeling as she looked at him, so she could not help but reach her head out of the car window.
“Lilly, don’t put your head out. It’s dangerous.” Anthony carried her back in and closed the car window.
Blake’s sharp senses felt that someone was looking at him. When he raised his head, he saw a black Maybach with a little figure inside passing by him.
…
In the MacNeil residence’s grand dining room, Giuliana ate gracefully with her children and daughters- in-law around her. One of her daughters-in-law was standing while serving her. She held a wet towel to help Giuliana wipe her hands and mouth. The others stayed silent as they were used to such a scene.
The butler walked in and said, “Sir, Madam, the Crawford family is outside, and they brought a little girl.”
Jerome ate in small bites. After swallowing his food, he asked, “Why are they here?”
The butler replied, “I already asked them. The Crawford family said that Mr. Leo might be Little Miss Crawford’s father, so they came over to have a look. If it’s possible, they want to get Mr. Leo’s blood sample so they can do a DNA test…”
The butler roughly conveyed what Anthony said.
Giuliana rolled her eyes. “Another one who’s here to find their relatives? Tell them we’re not meeting them and ask them to leave!”
She knew about that child and heard it was the sickly Jean who gave birth to her. Who knew which man she slept with that caused her to get pregnant. How could a child with such a background dare to come to them? Even if this child really belonged to the MacNeil family, she would not let such a child step into the MacNeil residence.
At the dining table, a young man said hesitantly, “Aunt Giuliana, why don’t we meet them? After all, they’re from the Crawford family…”
Jerome said disdainfully, “So what if they’re the Crawford family? They’re just rich, right?”
The richest family on the continent? In Miralaea, the rich could make others vote for them to become the president. In Heneria, the rich could suppress the government and cover up everything. However,
in Dudroinia, no matter how rich one was, all they had was money. They would still have to be careful when facing someone in power.
No matter how rich the Crawford family was, that was all they had. However, the MacNeil family was different, as one of their members had once received an award. Moreover, they were also rich.
The butler nodded and walked out with his head held high. He replied to Anthony arrogantly, saying that Jerome and Giuliana were busy. Before they could even react, the butler left and closed the door.
Anthony sat in the car indifferently. It was fine if the MacNeil family did not want to see Lilly. They did not want to “share” Lilly with them anyway.
Lilly could tell Anthony was a little unhappy, so she asked, “Uncle Anthony, why are we here?”
Anthony’s expression relaxed slightly as he said, “You said you wanted to find your dad, so we’re bringing you here to look.”
Yesterday, Old Mr. Rosewood asked Lilly to find Erick MacNeil’s descendant. Old Mr. Rosewood had been focusing on finding his daughter’s corpse, so he did not pay attention to the rising MacNeil family.
Five years ago, the MacNeil family was considered a big family in Clodston, and they were still doing business in coastal areas.
After the gangster groups were eradicated, one of the ones who were sacrificed was Erick. Moreover, he was a first-class hero.
The first-class hero award was considered rare during those peaceful times. Erick had no descendants or immediate family members, so the honor of gaining this award fell onto his cousin, Jerome.
Jerome relied on this to rise when the time was right and came to Clodston to gain a foothold. The MacNeil family also looked down on others because of this. The only ones who could make them bow
were those involved in politics. Everyone’s goal in the family was to pass the civil service exam. Unfortunately, none of them had passed in these few years.
Anthony went over this time because Lilly mentioned that her father’s surname was MacNeil yesterday. There was a hint of excitement in her eyes when she mentioned it, so how could Anthony disappoint her? Even if he knew the MacNeil family would look down on them, he was willing to bring Lilly over.
However, he saw Lilly shake her head and say, “Uncle Anthony, let’s go back!”
If her father was like that, she would not want him. She only wanted her uncles, grandparents, and cousins!
Anthony was taken aback. “Lilly, do you not want to find your dad anymore?”
Lilly shook her head. “I don’t want a dad like that.”
Anthony smiled. She’s indeed a child of the Crawford family!
Although Old Mr. Rosewood had asked them to find Erick, Anthony did not care. It would be best if he could help, but it was fine even if he could not. As long as Lilly was fine, why should he care about others?
Anthony smiled and was in a good mood. His large hand patted Lilly’s head. “Lilly, why don’t I bring you to the playground?”
Lilly’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go! I want to go!” She could not wait to go. She even raised her arms and said, “Let’s ask the others too! That includes Polly and Tortoise!”
In Lilly’s eyes, going to the playground was a good thing, and good things were meant to be shared with her friends!
…
In the MacNeil residence, Jerome and Giuliana had finished eating and were wiping their lips gracefully. Giuliana asked, “Is the Crawford family still outside?” If they were still waiting, she did not mind meeting them, seeing how sincere they were.
The butler replied, “They’ve gone back.”
Giuliana snorted. “They want to find their family, but they don’t even have any patience.”
Luckily, they did not have to meet the Crawford family. They wished the Crawford family would bring that jinx away and never disturb them again.
Jerome spoke to his eldest son, Davion MacNeil, “Have you contacted the person your supervisor mentioned yet? His surname is MacNeil too, and he’s the God of Battle who had only returned from the frontier battlefield. Quickly find a way to connect with him.”
Davion was a little troubled. “Dad, it’s not easy to find him. He’s not only the God of Battle, but he’s also the head of a hidden family…”
Jerome glared at him and said, “What hidden family? Did you read too many novels?! You’re always reluctant to help when I ask you to do something! Why do you have so many excuses? I think you’ve not even asked anyone about him before!”
The MacNeil family argued because a big shot was soon appearing. They were anxious and tried to gain more connections.
They did not know what they had missed today…
