Chapter 351
Spoiled (Lily)
Chapter 351 Joelâs a Loose Cannon Rubyâs cousin-in-law was Joel Jenkins, Joel saw that everyone was surrounding Gilbert and serving him tea. Before he entered the house, he glanced over at the empty field besides Rubyâs house. And if he did not look at it properly, he would not see the luxurious car that cost a million dollars! He instantly guessed that it belonged to Gilbert, and he was amused that Gilbert was willing to park it on the grass surface. He himself purposely parked his car in the neighborâs yard. He can just park his car anywhere.
He passionately smiled and sat at Gilbertâs side, and he asked with a smile. âDr. Gilbert, is that your car?â Looking at Gilbertâs nod, he continued to say. It cost more than a million dollars, right? I didnât know that doctors were so richââ Gilbert remained silent; he did not buy the car himself. My salary from the hospital canât even buy a screw for the tire.
Anthony always treated his brothers well as the head of the Crawford family. He gave him this car for his birthday. And he became a doctor because he liked the job. But he would not care to explain these to Joel.
However, Joel leaned close and asked mysteriously, Dr. Gilbert, you must be carning a lot of incentives in your job. I heard that the patientsâ family members would tip the doctors extremely well for an operation. So, tell me, how much did you take before?â He was curious, and he did not care about the circumstances. Gilbert answered coldly as he splashed a cup of tea on the ground, Iâve never taken any of it, so I canât answer your question!â
Huxley was upset hearing Joelâs question; he had been hospitalized under the care of Gilbert for a month, and he knew that he was a fair and upright person. He was not who Joel thought he was! The members of the Evans family were furious hearing his words, and they reprimanded Joel for being a loose cannon. Whether Dr. Gilbert really takes tips or not, dors he think they itâs armaible to ask such risky questions in public? Rubyâs cousin kicked him and snorted, âWhat type of nonsense are you spurting Joel did not take her seriously, he laughed it off. Tâm just joking! Hey, why is everyone so boring? Iâm just curious to see Dr. Gilbertâs cart Rubyâs cousin hurriedly tried to clear the air by saying, âDr. Gilbert, my husband is always like this. He loves to speak nonsense, but heâs in fact a really nice guy. He has a soft heart.â
Gilbert ignored her words, as she was obviously trying to find an excuse for Joel Pablo folded his arms and said, âSometimes people talking sh*t might have had intentions too. He then stared at the malignant spirit hanging on Joelâs head, and it stared back right at him. The spirit sensed that something was not right, and soon he realized that he could not detach himself!
Lilly was enjoying her snack, and she suddenly asked, Uncle, youâre not an experienced man, right?â
Everyone was stunned to hear her words. Joel was annoyed, yet he answered with a smile, âThen youâre wrong. I was traveling everywhere, and I had a lot of different experiences!â Any normal doctor canât possibly afford such a fancy car; Gilbert must be lying now. Iâve seen too many unethical doctors like him before!
Lilly said it with a sigh: âI guess you just didnât see enough. My big brother said something about a fish under a coconut shellâ
Gilbert corrected her, âItâs a frogâ
Lilly nodded and said, âUncle, youâre a frog under a coconut shell. Uncle Gilbert has never said that he bought this car: why didnât you think about the possibility of people giving him this car?â
Joel was dumbfounded. F*ck! It costs a million dollars. Who would be stupid enough to give it as a gift?
He pondered for a while and purposely said, âO⦠Oh! I get it now! Dr. Gilbert must have a very rich girlfriendâ I admire you! But indeed, youâre very handsomeââ
Is he implying that Iâm good for nothing? Gilbert thought.
Is there something wrong with his brain? Lilly wondered. She muttered, âYouâre seriously that frog underâ¦â
Gilbert said coldly, âI donât have a girlfriend.â
Joel smirked and said, âItâs alright, I get what you mean Lilly was enraged even though she could not fully understand Joelâs words, but she felt that he was being rude to Uncle Gilbert. It sounds like heâs trying to mock Uncle Gilbert.
Lilly said loudly, âUncle Anthony gave this car to Uncle Gilbert! Do you know who Uncle Anthony is?
Heâs very rich, and he can provide for my entire family; he can simply afford ten of the same cars and give them to us! Youâre ignorant!â
Joel was speechless, as he felt that she was talking about nonsense. No one would give away ten cars like that for nothing! He laughed and said mockingly, âI donât believe it! Unless you show me your savings!â He wanted to tease her. Lilly fumbled her phone out, but Gilbert tried to stop her. âLilly, you donât have to do this!â
âI have to! Uncle Gilbert canât lose!â Gilbert was touched by her action. Lilly is growing up, and it sounds like sheâs learning more and more words to use. He felt so proud at the moment, and he did not stop her from doing whatever she wanted. Her account should only have a few million dollars; itâs not showing off. It shouldnât be, right?
She turned on her phone. Her phone was a customized child-sized phone; it was pink in color. And it looked like a toy. She was able to video call all of her uncles with it. Joely was laughing at her for taking out- a fake phone, but she showed her phone screen to him. Here you go.â He simply took her phone and saw that she had a few million dollars in her account. Ha, ha. It looks so real. Are toys so realistic nowadays? He turned the phone on, and he was stunned looking at its logo. Wait, is this a real phone?
Why is this logo so familiar? He was confused, and he wanted to look at her account balance one more time. He accidentally pressed into a voice message sent by âGranny,â and he subconsciously wanted to press into it. Lilly snatched her phone back and said, âWhereâs your manner? Uncle, itâs not right for you to peek at peopleâs messages. Did you forget about your motherâs teaching?â
He felt attacked. A kid can really have a few million dollars in her bank account.
He was questioning her as he secretly took a picture of her phone to search for it. His jaw dropped when he looked at the search result. Her phone looks like a toy, and it cost a million dollars? He was dumbstruck. And Lilly was telling him that her family members gave her this money just to make her happy. A car that is worth a million dollars, a phone that is worth the same amount, and she has a few million in her account balance⦠He was extremely jealous! God dammit! What the f*ck is wrong with rich people? Why should a kid have millions of dollars? Why isnât this money mine?
