Chapter 425

Chapter 425 Blake the One-Hit Wonder Lilly looked at the half eaten piece of candy and felt conflicted.

She loved the sweetness of candy, but she didn’t necessarily enjoy ‘second-hand’ candy.

She thought, Oh but… Hannah already cleaned it. Would she be mad if I don’t take it?

Blake raised an eyebrow as he curiously watched on to see what Lilly would do.

Lilly took the candy….

Then she pondered for a moment, and while Hannah wasn’t paying attention, she stuffed it back into her mouth.

“You should eat it, Hannah!” she said, “I gave it to you. Daddy said that it’s impolite to take that which you have already given away.”

Blake found this amusing.

Every time, he would play the role of a ‘get out of jail free’ card for Lilly…

Did she really think that he was that incredible?

Like the deep starry sky, the infallible God of Battle’s eyes twinkled with little flecks of light.

Hannah seemed to want to give the candy to Lilly still but Blake promptly picked the latter up and walked upstairs.

He said, “I’ve already collected evidence regarding that hypocrite ghost for you.”

Drake happened to come out at that moment and said coldly from upstairs, “Hannah Crawford! Have you finished your homework?”

Hannah made a heavy gulp, then quickly bit the candy into pieces and went upstairs with a mournful expression on her face.

Inside Lilly’s room.

Lilly continued to watch videos on her grandmother’s phone.

In the morning, Bettany had told her that she would take back the phone after a short while. However, half a day had passed just like that, and the phone was stilli Lilly’s hands.

“These are all videos on animal rescue?” Josh, with his keen ears, came upstairs as soon as he heard the mention of a hypocrite ghost and asked, “What does it have to do with ghosts?”

Lilly explained the events of the past two days to him.

As Josh watched these reels again, he couldn’t help but feel that something was off about all of them.

“I don’t think any of these people are nice!” he said.

Blake said, “Although some of them may be bad apples, we can’t use that to form a judgment on everyone.”

As soon as he said that, Lilly came across a new video.

“Huh? It’s the credit auntie!”

Josh asked, “Credit what..?”

Blake corrected with a smile, “Her name is Kelly Franklin.”

The video happened to be the one where Kelly “rescued the stray dog yesterday.

In the video, she had a worried expression and kept pleading:

“It’s so sad! Can someone please help me… take it to the hospital?”

“Can someone help me please? It’s too heavy, I can’t carry it…”

A young and beautiful girl and a dog covered in dirt while foaming at the mouth..

The contempt of the crowd and the pleas of the beautiful damsel in distress.

The two contrasts made the kindness of the girl stand but even more.

Josh looked at her anxious crying face and would have thought that she was genuinely desperate had he not known her true nature beforehand.

At this moment, a voice sounded: “Be careful…”

The scene flashed by quickly, but Blake appeared in the frame for two seconds.

It was precisely because of this shot that the video went viral, with over a million likes and comments.

filled with voices of “Ah, he’s so handsome” and “He’s amazing”.

Lilly exclaimed while pointing at the video, “Daddy, something doesn’t seem right!”

She had been speaking with Gracie first, and only after that did Blake come in. However, both her and Gracie were gone now.

Blake furrowed his brow. “She edited it.”

Indeed, the video had been edited to only show Blake’s concerned” statement, with everything else.

omitted.

The following footage was shaky, showing a blurred figure holding a dog and heading to the hospital, where the doctor said it was beyond saving.

After which, Kelly cried all the way as she found a tree and personally dug a hole to bury the lifeless dog.

A person stood behind her the entire time. However, the footage only captured up to their waist.

That person was also tall and slender, and wore the same pants as Blake and the same leather shoes… He had one hand in his pocket with a suit jacket hanging under his arm; he was the perfect image of a successful entrepreneur.

Josh asked with confusion, “Uncle Blake, were with this credit auntie the whole time? You even buried the dog together?”

He was puzzled as this was different than what Lilly had told him. The stray dog should still be receiving treatment at the veterinary clinic. How did it just suddenly die?

Lilly said, “Josh, this isn’t Daddy! Daddy has a super handsome figure. The person in this video is too thin. Look how hollow his shirt and pants are…”

It was nothing like her Daddy at all. Her Daddy was always incredibly good looking in clothes and gave off a charismatic aura. No one could imitate that.

Josh instantly understood, “No wonder something felt off… so this isn’t Uncle Blake at all! This credit auntie is clearly misleading the audience!”

Blake sneered, “That’s right.”

He was angry that she would try to use him for fame.

Lilly pouted and said angrily, “The credit auntie is such a meanic.”

“Come on Lilly, Daddy will take you to catch the culprit Blake paused for a moment and lowered his voice, “We’ll go after we finish lunch, but don’t tell your grandma we’re going to catch someone. Just say… we’re going to buy candy.”

He winked at Lilly as he said this.

The old lady would grow suspicious if they said they were going out to play all the time.

But if they said they were just going out to buy candy, she would let them go, albeit after grumbling at them for a brief moment. This was even more likely since she knew that Lilly had just given all her candy away to Drake and the others.

This reason had no flaws at all.

Lilly winked back and whispered, “Yeah, okay!”

Josh asked, “But where do we even find her now…”

Meanwhile, Kelly was with Boris, filming outdoors as they were “rescuing” stray cats.

She never expected her video yesterday to receive over million likes!

Initially, Blake had said some pretty hurtful things to her, which made her embarrassed.

But as soon as she got home and reviewed the footage, he couldn’t help marveling at Blake’s handsome looks and well-built physique… After that, she didn’t think his words were hurtful at all.

What did it matter if he insulted her, given how good-looking he was?

Kelly repeatedly watched that segment of Blake in the video and became infatuated with it. In the end, she decided to add in the shot where he said “be careful”.

From the looks of it, it seemed like Blake was really concerned for her well-being.

This was the stuff of her fantasies…

Boris saw an opportunity and immediately brought back a 1.9-meter-tall actor to act alongside Kelly The actor didn’t even need to say anything; the shots were all below the waistline. He simply had to pretend to be the handsome man in the video.

“Kelly, your video is trending now, and the number of views keeps increasing!” Boris suppressed his excitement and said, “It just so happens we’re doing a rescue for stray cats today, so start live streaming. immediately!”

“Also, I looked at the comments section, and the reason this video is trending is mainly because of the man in the video!” Boris remembered encountering Blake himself. He definitely thought that Blake was not a man to be trifled with, but he was also sure that he wouldn’t be watching reels…

“You need to bank in on this, understand?” Boris asked.

Nowadays, viral videos all need attractive personalities, and this man was simply too outstanding to miss. out on. Boris was sure he wouldn’t find out either way.

Kelly had the same intention and said, “Okay!”

She started the live stream, smiling sweetly, “Yesterday’s video received over a million likes. I never imagined it would suddenly go viral! I’ve always rescued poor cats and dogs whenever I could… I’m truly amazed! Thank you, everyone!”

After delivering the opening remarks, the number of viewers in the live stream quickly reached twenty thousand.

One should bear in mind that Kelly’s live streams typically only had twenty to thirty people!

She was so excited that her hands were trembling.

She looked at the comments in the live chat and answered while reading:

“Oh, you’re all asking about the guy from yesterday! Haha, you guys are funny. Why is everyone asking about him?”

As she scrolled through the comments, they were indeed mostly asking about Blake.

Kelly also knew that her video went viral yesterday solely because of him!

There was no way around it. He was just that unbelievably handsome….

Naturally, she wouldn’t miss out on this surge of fame brought on by Blake. She didn’t even consider letting it go at all. Hence, she had to fabricate a relationship.

Kelly smiled, “We just met yesterday, but he is a really good person. He accompanied me and brought the dog to the hospital…”

Suddenly, she had a sad expression, her eyes reddening “Unfortunately, the dog couldn’t make it…

The guy I met was really kind. He even buried the dog with me. I’m truly grateful to him…”

With a blush, she continued, “Afterward, he dropped me off at my home and left. It seems like he is busy with work. He gave me his number and told me I could call him anytime, but I’ve been too scared to call…”
