Chapter 529 Kick ’Em Out, Kick ’Em Out!
Spoiled (Lily)
Mabel held back her indignance. âItâs true that amethyst isnât that valuable. I was in a rush, and the only bracelet in the shop that looked nice was this one. Itâs my faultâ¦â
Bettany added, âAlso, youâre not close enough with Blake to be on a first-name basis with him. I know you want in on our life, but this isnât the way to go about it!â
Mabel bit her lip, her eyes reddening at once. âDid he say that to you?â
âBlakeâs really gotten it wrongâ¦â Mabel shook her head. âI never know how to explain every time I want to. He might have really gotten me wrong. I even remember going to school with him when we were littleâ¦â
âHe loved sticking close behind me, calling out for me all the time. Iâm heartbroken to see our relationship get to this stage because of a misunderstanding with my grandfather.â
Mabel sighed.
Yet a cold voice rang through the air. âIs it because you think Iâm not here that youâre making up stories about my childhood to your heartâs content?â
Mabel got a shock, but quickly calmed down and lit up in joy. âBlake, youâre here tooâ¦â
She appeared calm, but her chest was thudding with panic as she forced out a smile. âYour sister-in-
lawâs been saying he wants to buy you dinner, but youâve just been so busy.â
Blakeâs gaze was ice-cold. âYouâre kind of going overboard with the lies here.â
Bettany nodded. âI remembered that Blake was always with his parents when he was a kid. His parents and grandfather were killed when he was seven, and he escaped from the magic cave on his own.
Where and how would he have the time to go to school with you?â
Mabel: â¦
F*ck, she had forgotten about that!
She thought that Blake wasnât around, and had opened her mouth and blabbered!
âIâm sorry, it appears Iâve remembered wrongly,â Mabel said at once. âBut weâre still siblings at the end of the day, oh Blakeyâ¦â
Before she could finish.
A lady walked out without making a sound.
Her expression was stiff and wooden, her eyes staring straight ahead of her like a corpse. Her skin was also a terrifying shade of deathly pale.
Mabel stopped short. âWhoâs thisâ¦â
Lisa marched up to Mabel, reaching out and lifting her into the air before walking out, âGarbage⦠kick âem out!â
Yena was scared witless.
How had things gotten to this?
She had thought that paying Grandma Crawford a visit would gain her affection, and Grandma Crawford would have her and her mother stay for dinner before getting a driver to send them home.
Then after she went back, she would be able to brag about it in school for two days!
Mabel held back her indignance. âItâs true that amethyst isnât that valuable. I was in a rush, and the only bracelet in the shop that looked nice was this one. Itâs my faultâ¦â
Even her father was going to have to look at her differently. She was going to show him just how much more capable and useful she was compared to her sister!
She had never thought that this would end in getting kicked out!
Yena panicked, her eyes reddening as she fell to her knees in front of Bettany.
She sobbed, âGrandma Crawford, please donât do this, please donât do this to my Momâ¦â
She cried, thoroughly heartbroken as she raised her hands in the air panicked and helpless. It was a truly heartbreaking, pitiful sight for anyone.
But Bettany wasnât just anyone.
âAre you going to get up on your own, or do I need to get someone to make you get up?â
Yena sobbed, âGrandma Crawford, are you mad because I said the wrong thing? Iâm sorry, itâs all my fault. Please donât hit my Momâ¦â
She cried even harder the more she spoke, launching into a full wail. âDonât hit my Mom, donât hit my Momâ¦â
She sobbed pitifully.
Her gaze was terrified, as if she was no stranger to being treated like this. It wasnât hard to connect the dots and assume that Mabel was hit pretty often at home.
The maids of the Crawford household could not bear to watch. This kid was the same age as their little Lilly Crawford.
The sight of her crying made them remember how helpless and scared Lilly looked when she first arrived here as well.
âSigh⦠it is a little unfair. The kid did nothing wrongâ¦â
But their mumbling remained mumbles, and none of them dared to stand up and tell Bettany anything.
After all, Mabel deserved it, showing up with her kid and asking for trouble.
Mabel was kicked out, tripping and falling by the door amidst her struggle. She looked a mess.
Yena sobbed and screamed, and Mabel began to cry along with her as well. It was as if they had been bullied unfairly.
Yet even though they cried their hearts out, they were kicked out all the same.
Bettany then asked, still worried, âWhereâs Lilly, has she finished what she wanted to do?â
Blakeâs gaze flashed. So Bettany had known all along as wellâ¦
âSheâs done.â Blake glanced at the broken bracelet on the ground. He bent over and picked it up.
He did not sense any bad aura in the bracelet. It should be all clean now.
âArthur, wrap this up and throw it at Mabelâs face.â
Arthur called out in response, going up and picking up all the broken bracelet pieces at once.
Master had ordered for these to be thrown at Mabelâs face, so that was going to have to happen.
Even her fother wos going to hove to look ot her differently. She wos going to show him just how much more copoble ond useful she wos compored to her sister!
She hod never thought thot this would end in getting kicked out!
Yeno ponicked, her eyes reddening os she fell to her knees in front of Bettony.
She sobbed, âGrondmo Crowford, pleose donât do this, pleose donât do this to my Momâ¦â
She cried, thoroughly heortbroken os she roised her honds in the oir ponicked ond helpless. It wos o truly heortbreoking, pitiful sight for onyone.
But Bettony wosnât just onyone.
âAre you going to get up on your own, or do I need to get someone to moke you get up?â
Yeno sobbed, âGrondmo Crowford, ore you mod becouse I soid the wrong thing? Iâm sorry, itâs oll my foult. Pleose donât hit my Momâ¦â
She cried even horder the more she spoke, lounching into o full woil. âDonât hit my Mom, donât hit my Momâ¦â
She sobbed pitifully.
Her goze wos terrified, os if she wos no stronger to being treoted like this. It wosnât hord to connect the dots ond ossume thot Mobel wos hit pretty often ot home.
The moids of the Crowford household could not beor to wotch. This kid wos the some oge os their little Lilly Crowford.
The sight of her crying mode them remember how helpless ond scored Lilly looked when she first orrived here os well.
âSigh⦠it is o little unfoir. The kid did nothing wrongâ¦â
But their mumbling remoined mumbles, ond none of them dored to stond up ond tell Bettony onything.
After oll, Mobel deserved it, showing up with her kid ond osking for trouble.
Mobel wos kicked out, tripping ond folling by the door omidst her struggle. She looked o mess.
Yeno sobbed ond screomed, ond Mobel begon to cry olong with her os well. It wos os if they hod been bullied unfoirly.
Yet even though they cried their heorts out, they were kicked out oll the some.
Bettony then osked, still worried, âWhereâs Lilly, hos she finished whot she wonted to do?â
Blokeâs goze floshed. So Bettony hod known oll olong os wellâ¦
âSheâs done.â Bloke glonced ot the broken brocelet on the ground. He bent over ond picked it up.
He did not sense ony bod ouro in the brocelet. It should be oll cleon now.
âArthur, wrop this up ond throw it ot Mobelâs foce.â
Arthur colled out in response, going up ond picking up oll the broken brocelet pieces ot once.
Moster hod ordered for these to be thrown ot Mobelâs foce, so thot wos going to hove to hoppen.
Mabel was currently crying outside the Crawford household. This was not just because she was sad from being kicked out, but that her bracelet was broken too!
She had thought that she would be able to get on Old Mrs. Crawfordâs good side, and get Blakeâs approval.
As long as Blake approved of her, the rest of her days would be of luxury and lavishness!
Yet her bracelet had exploded on its out for some reason.
She had not gotten on anyoneâs good side, and had even been kicked out!
What was she going to say when she was home!
Just then, a voice rang through the air. âHang on!â
Mabel looked over, and saw that it was Arthur.
She recognized this person! Despite not knowing what his name was, she knew that he was one of Blakeâs men.
Was Blake going to ask her to stay?
Mabel wiped her tears away hurriedly, looking as pitiful as possible. âWhatâs the matter? Did Blake say anythingâ¦â
Before she could finish.
Something landed on her face!
Mabel dodged instinctively, raising a hand to block herself.
Yet she could not cover all of her.
The bracelet shards were a little sharp, making a few little gashes on her skin that began bleeding!
âAhhhâ¦â Mabel cried out sharply.
Arthur glared at her. âTake your own rubbish with you!â
Upon speaking, he turned and left without saying another word.
Mabel was practically shaking with anger.
This man merely worked for Blake⦠which meant that he was a staff member!
But he threw her bracelet at her face, and even called it rubbish!
Mabelâs anger reached a new highâ¦
Yena glanced at her motherâs bloody face fearfully.
Mabel took a deep breath. She wanted to say it was fine, but remembered the idiotic things that Yena had just said in the Crawford family!
Anger flared up in her chest. âWeâre going home! When we get back and your father asks what happened to my bracelet, youâre going to say you tripped and the bracelet broke while I was trying to block your fall⦠got it?â
Yena nodded. âGot it.â
This always happened. Her mother was always using her as an excuse.
Unlike that cousin of hers, the Crawfords were never nice to Yenaâ¦
Yena swore to herself that she would not give up!
Her cousin sister hadnât even returned yet!
It had been so long, she wasnât going to come back for sure.
She was going to work harder⦠and come back for sure!
Yena returned home, full of spirit and gusto.
