Chapter 642
Spoiled (Lily)
Blake drove Anthonyâs car and parked it on the side of the road.
Lisa hurriedly pulled Anthony towards the car, urging him inside before slamming the door shut.
âDrive, drive!â she urged.
Blake, feeling the urgency, stepped on the accelerator and zoomed off.
It was 6:20 in the morning, not yet the peak hour for commuting.
At this moment, the Maybach accelerated to a speed of 111 miles per hour on the highway.
Anthony clenched his teeth. âThis is too fast!â
Blake responded, âItâs fine, Iâll pay the fine!â
Anthony could not help but be speechless. âWhen have you ever spent a single penny on yourself?â
To an outsider, it would seem like Blake had become a part of the Crawford family. It was truly baffling.
âBy the way, did you say something to that lady last night while youâre pretending to be me?â Anthony inquired.
Upon seeing him, she seemed to have recognized something.
Blake mumbled, âItâs nothing. Sheâs delusional, and she misunderstood me.â
Anthonyâs forehead creased with frustration. âJust speak in plain language.â
Blake explained, âTruly, it was nothing. We just had a conversation.â
Anthony asked, âUsing whose account?â
Lilly raised her phone and said, âUncle Anthony, itâs my account!â
Anthony replied, âOh, okay then.â
He glanced at the phone, took it, and discovered that Lillyâs nickname was âBreaking into Your Heart,â
and he did not know how Lilly got that picture of a buff man.
Anthony was speechless.
He casually deleted all the chat records and changed Lillyâs profile picture to a cartoon character.
Then he said, âA screenshot has been taken and sent to the old lady.â
Blake was shocked. âAnthony, why are you exposing me?â
Anthony replied, âWeâre even now.â
Blake remained silent.
They soon reached Crawford Mansion.
Anthony parked the car in the garage.
Blake tiptoed and snuck upstairs, moving as stealthily as possible.
Lilly followed suit, tiptoeing up the stairs.
Lisa, who did not know why they were doing this, followed behind in the same manner.
As they reached the second floor, they were met Bettany, who stood with crossed arms and a stern expression.
Blake greeted her with a nervous chuckle, âUh, good morning, Old Mrs. Crawford.â
Lilly released Blakeâs feet and darted towards Bettany, pleading, âGrandma, donât hit me! Dad is the one at fault, so you should punish Dad!â
âDaddy, Iâm sorry!â Lilly swiftly moved, like lightning, and Lisa hurriedly followed her with an anxious expression. The door closed with a loud bang.
Blake stood there, dumbfounded.
How could my daughter treat me like this?
He thought that Lilly would protect him.
Bettany smiled and asked, âBlake MacNeil, do you have any last words?â
Blake stood tall and touched his nose, stating, âThis time, Lilly went to bed at 11 oâclock, slept soundly until 6 oâclock in the morning, and experienced no negative effects on her growth or encountered any dangers. I watched the surveillance all night.â
Bettany narrowed her eyes and skeptically responded, âDo you expect me to believe that? Be more careful in your next life.â
Blake raised his handâ¦
He then stepped forward, hastily bowing his head, and said, âOld Mrs. Crawford, I have something urgent and need to hurry to the team!â
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from sight.
Bettany called out, âAre you skipping breakfast?â
Blake waved his hand and disappeared.
Bettany was left speechless, unable to understand what just happened.
Why did he run so fast?
Bettany knocked on Lillyâs room and said, âLilly, itâs Grandma. Please open the door.â
Lilly anxiously clung to Lisa, saying, âOh no, grandma is coming to scold me! Aunt Lisa, what should I do?â
Lisa, also nervous, suggested, âShe should⦠scold me!â
Bravely, Lilly opened the door slightly and peeked her head out.
Before Bettany could react, the door suddenly swung open, and Lisa leaned into Bettanyâs arms like a scared calf, urging, âScold me!â
Bettanyâs expression turned to bewilderment.
What kind of strange request is this?
Lisa exclaimed again, âDonât scold⦠Lilly!â
Bettany understood and looked at Lillyâs anxious face.
She could not help but feel a mix of amusement and concern.
âGrandma wonât scold you. Thereâs no need to be nervous,â Bettany assured her. âLilly, tell Grandma where you were and what you learned last night.â
Lilly nibbled her fingerâ¦
Should I tell her I went to the bar?
âDaddy and I went to the libraryâ¦â Lilly said, looking troubled.
Every time she lied, her small face could not hide it, and her expression showed her inner conflict.
Bettany had doubts and asked, âAre you sure?â
Lilly replied, âWell⦠I also learned a new phraseâ¦â
Bettany asked, âOh, what else?â
Lilly replied, âI also learned boxing. After that, I went to a hotel, and then I went to sleep! I donât know anything else!â
She shook her head vigorously.
Bettany was bewildered. Lilly learned a new phrase and how to box seemed odd to her. However, seeing Lillyâs rosy face and clear eyes, it was true that she had not stayed up all night.
Just as Anthony arrived, he walked confidently, as if he had done anything wrong.
âMom, Lilly did go to a hotel. It was our hotel. You can check if you donât believe me.â
Anthony had already explained his hotel manager, leaving Bettany with no evidence to contradict him.
Bettany could not believe it. In her mind, Anthonyâs credibility in Bettanyâs heart was now at its lowest.
Lilly resorted to her trump card and said, âGrandma, Iâm hungryâ¦â
At that moment, Bettany gave up and nagged, âChildren shouldnât stay up late all the time⦠Itâs not good for your brain development and you wonât grow tallâ¦â
âIf youâre tired, go back and sleep again⦠Sigh, I donât know what youâre thinking; youâre spoiling the child⦠If youâre not sleepy, just wash your face, brush your teeth, and eatâ¦â
Lilly sighed in relief and pondered, âHey, whereâs Daddy?â
â¦
Rain returned to her place and sent a message to Breaking into Your Heart, but there was no response.
She was in a bad mood.
Damian would surely expose her.
She wanted to take the initiative!
Rain took out her phone and posted on her social media.
âIf you canât have me, no one can. Haha, I wonât be surprised if you can do anything else. Stalking, taking sneaky photos, tarnishing my reputation by calling me a promiscuous woman⦠If you have the guts, show some evidence! Threatening to break up and ruin me, what kind of man are you?â
