Chapter 526 Old Lady Breaks Fighting Records: Five Kills In A Row!
Spoiled (Lily)
Blake had just been leaning on the side of Bettanyâs rocking chair, when he stood up instinctively.
They hadnât noticed Lillyâs things coming out, thinking that she had taken them out from her bagâ¦
He lowered his voice at once. âLilly, take the stone out!â
Lilly did not really understand, but obediently took out the stone as she looked at Blake. âDaddy, whatâs going onâ¦â
Was the Palace of The Ruler of Hell not good?
Before Blake could speak, Anthony lowered his voice and said, âDonât let other people see that your Palace of The Ruler of Hell can hold things, alright?â
Lilly nodded. âI understand that, but Daddy, Uncle Anthony and everyone else arenât outsiders.â
That was why she didnât hide it.
She didnât expose anything when she was outside just now, this was still something she understood!
The rocks in Edwardâs hands fell with a clatter.
The palm-sized rocks had been broken off the giant rock by Lilly.
He had not expected that space would actually exist.
Edward could not get over this shocking fact. He stared at the rocks, and then at Lillyâs Palace of The Ruler of Hell pendant. He felt as if he was living in a novel.
Just then, Jack came in. âSir, thereâs someone claiming to be Blakeâs niece saying that sheâd like to see Old Mrs. Crawford.â
Blakeâs gaze grew cold.
Anthony did not even hesitate. âNo.â
Lilly raised her head all of a sudden, glancing at the front door.
âNo, Uncle Anthony, weâve got to see her.â
Blake lifted Lilly into his arms. âLetâs go upstairs. Weâll let Uncle Anthony handle this.â
Lilly: Huh? Waitâ¦
She wanted to see herself!
She could sense a familiar aura!
Pablo squinted slightly, lowering his voice. âItâs the aura of that traitor. The nerve to show up here in person.â
He could not figure out what this person was here for, and said, âLilly, listen to your Dad. Go upstairs for now.â
It was unclear what the situation was like right now. The best thing to do was to hide and observe for the time being.
âItâs easier to dodge an arrow you can see compared to a hidden one. Got it?â Pablo wanted to impart some deep wisdom on being wary of what traitors could be capable of doing.
Lilly nodded. âIâve got it, Master. So weâre going to hide, and shoot the traitor with arrows!â
Pable: â¦â¦
That, that wasnât wrongâ¦
Outside the door, Yena and her mother held back their overwhelming emotions as they walked in together.
Blake had just been leaning on the side of Bettanyâs rocking chair, when he stood up instinctively.
It was hard to not be overwhelmed.
First of all, it was near impossible for anyone else to step foot into the Crawford household.
Second of all, the Crawford household was huge, almost like a palace⦠It definitely made one nervous being there.
Yenaâs mother snuck a glance around her. The Crawford territory really was huge.
Forget the garden in the front and back of the house. They even had their own little forest, with waterfalls and statuesâ¦
Yet everything was done modestly, with hints of luxury here and there. She could not describe what kind of aesthetic it was.
It was just that there was this giant rock on the wide grassy plain in front of the main building, with a jacket covering one of the rockâs edges⦠it looked a little out of place.
Yenaâs mother cast another curious glance at it.
Yena skipped along the pebbled path joyously. âSo this is cousin Lillyâs house. Itâs huge!â
It was even bigger than her fatherâs house.
Yvena stared ahead of her with lit up eyes, at the fairytale-like castle of a household before her.
Luxuriously furnished, a field even bigger than the football field in her schoolâ¦
Being able to live here would yield the envy of countless people.
Now that she had seen the Crawford household, Yena thought that her fatherâs house could hardly even compare!
Compared to the Crawford household, it was practically a little shoplot built on the side of a road out of town.
If she could live here, she was going to invite all her classmatesâ no, the whole school, when it was her birthday!
No, on top of that, she was going to bring her classmates home to play every weekend!
How she wanted to live hereâ¦
With that thought in her head, Yena felt a strong sense of familiarity at the sight of Bettany. She felt as if Bettany really was her grandmother.
âHello, Old Mrs. Crawford! Iâm the lover of Shane Hatcher of the Alfornada Hatchers, my nameâs Mabel McNeilâ¦â
âThis is my daughter, Yena Hatcher. Say hi to Grandma, Yena.â
Yena said sweetly at once, âHello, Grandma Crawford!â
She raised the box high in her hands, her tone soft and adorable. âFor you, Grandma Crawford! Mom and I picked this out for you, we took so long to choose!â
Mabel smiled. âItâs just a little token. I hope you like it.â
Bettanyâs expression was stony.
It wos hord to not be overwhelmed.
First of oll, it wos neor impossible for onyone else to step foot into the Crowford household.
Second of oll, the Crowford household wos huge, olmost like o poloce⦠It definitely mode one nervous being there.
Yenoâs mother snuck o glonce oround her. The Crowford territory reolly wos huge.
Forget the gorden in the front ond bock of the house. They even hod their own little forest, with woterfolls ond stotuesâ¦
Yet everything wos done modestly, with hints of luxury here ond there. She could not describe whot kind of oesthetic it wos.
It wos just thot there wos this giont rock on the wide grossy ploin in front of the moin building, with o jocket covering one of the rockâs edges⦠it looked o little out of ploce.
Yenoâs mother cost onother curious glonce ot it.
Yeno skipped olong the pebbled poth joyously. âSo this is cousin Lillyâs house. Itâs huge!â
It wos even bigger thon her fotherâs house.
Yveno stored oheod of her with lit up eyes, ot the foirytole-like costle of o household before her.
Luxuriously furnished, o field even bigger thon the footboll field in her schoolâ¦
Being oble to live here would yield the envy of countless people.
Now thot she hod seen the Crowford household, Yeno thought thot her fotherâs house could hordly even compore!
Compored to the Crowford household, it wos procticolly o little shoplot built on the side of o rood out of town.
If she could live here, she wos going to invite oll her clossmotesâ no, the whole school, when it wos her birthdoy!
No, on top of thot, she wos going to bring her clossmotes home to ploy every weekend!
How she wonted to live hereâ¦
With thot thought in her heod, Yeno felt o strong sense of fomiliority ot the sight of Bettony. She felt os if Bettony reolly wos her grondmother.
âHello, Old Mrs. Crowford! Iâm the lover of Shone Hotcher of the Alfornodo Hotchers, my nomeâs Mobel McNeilâ¦â
âThis is my doughter, Yeno Hotcher. Soy hi to Grondmo, Yeno.â
Yeno soid sweetly ot once, âHello, Grondmo Crowford!â
She roised the box high in her honds, her tone soft ond odoroble. âFor you, Grondmo Crowford! Mom ond I picked this out for you, we took so long to choose!â
Mobel smiled. âItâs just o little token. I hope you like it.â
Bettonyâs expression wos stony.
Hatcher?
She hated the Hatchers. Sheâd hated the surname ever since she found out that the South City Hatchers had tortured Lilly and made her almost freeze to death in the middle of winter. But of course, that was just her personal views.
Despite the fact that Mabelâs surname wasnât Hatcher, both mother and daughter were unlikeable.
âWhat are you here for?â Bettany said coldly.
If it wasnât for her little darling, she would hardly even bother with these two. Sheâd rather be feeding General.
Mabelâs smile was gentle. âIâm Blakeâs sister. Has he mentioned me to you before?â
Bettany got straight to the point. âNo, he said he was an orphan. After his granddad and his parents died he had wanted to seek shelter from his relatives, but didnât have a single one.â
Mabel flushed awkwardly.
She forced out a smile, sighing. âAh, Blakeâs still angry⦠my parents really went too far then. I told them that I wanted Blake to come and live with us, but they just wouldnât listen. My grandparents forbade my parents from bringing it up as well. Sigh⦠thatâs why Blake suffered so much!
Bettanyâs gaze flashed, and she smirked.
She said, in a tone full of false emotion, âIs that so? During the eightieth birthday party you guys found out about my son-in-lawâs identity and tried giving my granddaughter a kiss, but ended up getting beaten up by my son-in-law. Oh, werenât you there?â
Mabelâs face flushed even harder. Bettanyâs tone was razor-sharp, every word hitting where it hurt.
She said, âUhh, I think I wasnât in Alfornada because I had work to do, and had to miss my grandmaâs eightieth birthday dinner. Iâd have given her a stern talking to otherwise.â
Bettany nodded. âYes, a talking to was necessary. I heard your parents and grandma were chased back to their old house by my son-in-law, werenât they? Youâre such a good filial child, arenât you? Why arenât you with them?â
Mabel could hardly raise her head. âI⦠Yvena needs to study, and there are two kids at home. I couldnât leaveâ¦â
Realization dawned upon Bettany. âOh, thatâs how badly the Hatchers are doing now? Canât even afford a private tutor or babysitter, to the point where you have to babysit.â
âI was wondering why Shane abandoned his old lover for a new one⦠so thatâs why.â
âYou could have just been a babysitter as a proper job, but you just had to bear his child too. Poor you.â
Yenaâs mother: â¦
