Chapter 137
Spoiled (Lily)
The scenes involving the kindergarten had ended, but the video kept playing.
Blake had uploaded the footage in the hospital too!
The official procedure to acquire the hospitalâs surveillance footage was troublesome. Blake couldnât wait anymore, and he hijacked the hospitalâs network system!
The hospitalâs surveillance footage was much more interesting because the audio was provided.
Rayâs grandma wasnât in the pitiful attitude she portrayed in the online video. Instead, she acted unreasonably to demand her desired remarks in the doctorâs medical report.
Immediately after, Rayâs grandma was arrogant in the conversation with the rest of the family membersâ¦
The viral video where Ray cried in pain was not because of the pain from the injury.
Instead, Ray was throwing a tantrum to get fried chicken. Rayâs grandma could not buy it immediately, so he criedâ¦
The public was shocked.
âOh my god. That shatters my worldview! I have never been so misled before.â¦â
âThe girl was telling the truth. The Crawford family wasnât lying either! Itâs ridiculous that many people accused them of hiding the truth back thenâ¦â
âI feel a heavy sorrow, thinking back to Lillyâs words. Why did no one believe her? Why did many people trust the liars?â
The truth was a slap to the face to many people.
Some kept quiet, while some started cursing on the Internet.
Previously, they scolded the Crawford family for using money to cover the truth. They also scolded Lilly for putting an act at such a young age.
Now, they scolded the boy for being a spoiled brat, and they scolded the grandma for being despicable.
âDammit, why did everyone become irrational online? Are you still a human for cyberbullying a little girl?â
âThose influencers are at fault for manipulating the publicâs opinion! We need to pursue their responsibility!â
âIâm fed up! Where are those who insulted the girl before? Why are you so vicious? Why donât you dare to come out now?â
Some people were frantically deleting their comments.
Naturally, there are screenshots of those who hurriedly deleted their comments.
Some people screenshotted the comments, and they realized the username was similarâ¦
It was the same people who claimed the others for becoming irrational online. They were also the people reprimanding the people who harassed Lilly online.
Those cursing others, who were seemingly righteous, were mainly the culprits.
âHaha, are they suffering from a split personality disorder? They were the ones who previously insulted the little girl. Now, they are pretending to be righteous, and they are blaming their previous selves.â
âThey are always on the fence!â
âWhat about the guy who said he would kneel and asked us to take a screenshot? Iâve posted the screenshots here. When are you going to apologize by kneeling on a live stream?â
âI donât care about all this! Iâm mad now. I want to ask where the despicable old lady is. When is she coming forward to apologize?â
The online argument became heated. A moment ago, people were feeling sorry for how much Lilly cried. With the public knowing the truth, the people defended Lilly fervently.
There were even people, who recorded videos, to apologize to Lilly solemnly.
âLilly, please stop crying. Youâre not at fault, and itâs our fault. Itâs the fault of the restless society.â
âIâm sorry, Lilly. I didnât know the truth, but I followed everyone else in scolding you. Please forgive me.â
Lilly read the apologies. Even though she had teary eyes, she could not but smile.
It was a smile from the bottom of her heart.
It turns out hard work can make your dreams come true!
Blake had comforted Lilly, âItâs fine, Lilly. Daddy is here.â Those words were like a beam of light, dispelling the gloom in Lillyâs heart.
While Lilly was occupied in thoughts, the door was pushed open.
Blake was in a black outfit. His slightly curled black hair hung over his forehead, and his tall figure blocked the doorway.
Blake smiled as he opened his arms, âLilly, Daddy is back!â
Lilly immediately ran to Blake. Blake effortlessly lifted Lilly in the air!
Lilly held onto Blakeâs neck tightly.
âLilly, we won.â Blake looked at Lilly like a victorious general returning from the frontline, âWe have won!â
Lilly cheered, âYay, we have won! Daddy is the best. Lilly is great too!â
âUncle Anthony is awesome. Josh is awesome. Grandpa is awesome. Granny is awesome. Uncle Liam is awesome⦠Uncle Edward is awesomeâ¦â
âMaster is awesome. Polly is awesome. My tortoise is awesomeâ¦â
Lilly was overjoyed that she pointed out everyone.
Bettany laughed, and she couldnât help but sob.
There is no point in the pleasantries and the etiquette!
I need someone like my son-in-law to act immediately at this critical moment.
My son-in-law is great!
While they were cheering, Blakeâs phone rang.
The troublesome Laytonâs voice came through the phone. Everyone could vaguely hear it.
âMr. MacNeil! What have you done? Did you hijack the policeâs and militaryâs network?â
âThe higher-ups ask you for a meetingâ¦â
Blake rubbed his nose.
Lilly looked at Blake, and she asked, âDaddy, what did Uncle Davenport say?â
Blake replied without a change in his expression, âUncle Davenport invited your Daddy for a meal.â
Lilly was speechless.
Is that true?
Anthony looked at the father and daughter with a gentle expression.
Blake had done his job, and it was Anthonyâs turn.
The truth was revealed. At this point, Anthony could do as the people said, which was to do whatever he wanted with the money.
Pablo, who had been silent all along, also quietly stepped out.
The gloomy cloud surrounding the Crawford family had dissipated. The moon had appeared.
This was the best time for the spirits to be active.
â¦
Unlike the relaxed and cheerful air in the Crawford family, the atmosphere in Rayâs family was depressing.
Rayâs grandma read the comments scolding her on the Internet. The remarks were hurtful, and she could not take it.
âYou are blind. You are all blind!â
âApologies? Forget about it!â
Rayâs grandma scolded angrily.
Itâs too harsh in the way you scold me.
Donât you know I am an old lady? My heart might not be able to take it.
Rayâs grandma did not expect Lillyâs father to be so influential. He had found the footage!
What to doâ¦
Now that Rayâs grandma was at fault, she ran out of excuses to retort with another video.
Rayâs grandma was angry and anxious. She kept pacing back and forth.
Rayâs father was angry. He questioned, âMom, didnât you say they are at fault? How can it turn out to be like this?â
Rayâs mother added, âYa, you said they hit Ray for no reason, but thatâs not true!â
Rayâs grandma made their situation terrible!
The Crawford family had wealth and connections. They would fall from grace!
Rayâs mother thought to herself, âI have asked her not to do this, but she wonât listen.â
Rayâs grandma threw away her cane. She sat on the floor, crying, âI have been taking care of Ray. You didnât care much about him. Now that something has happened, you blame me.â
âSob⦠My life is so bitter!â
âMy son looks down upon me, and my son-in-law scolds me⦠I didnât take good care of Ray. My ancestors, please forgive me!â
Rayâs mother rolled her eyes. She is doing it again.
Rayâs mother had seen enough of it. She wished the ancestors returned home to bring the granny to the afterlife!
