Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Chapter 1047 A Simp Is a Simp Josh was right as he sensed something amiss. Upon catching the Holy Mother Ghost, he noticed that the auras surrounding Elsa and Simon were off.

While Keira did have evil spirits influencing her, Pierce's situation was different.

The spirits haunting the Pierce family were far from human...

Simon appeared agitated towards the girl who had come to rescue him. Just moments ago, he had made vows of love at their wedding, but now he mentioned divorce.

The cautious smile on the girl's face froze, her eyes darkened, and she was about to say, "l understand.” Suddenly, a loud noise rang out! Reacting swiftly, Keira grabbed the nearest tissue box and hurled it at Simon's head.

Simon's forehead started bleeding...

The girl turned pale in shock. Despite Simon's disdain for her, she genuinely cared for him and rushed over, unable to control herself. She pressed his forehead and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?" Simon pushed her away, saying, "Don't worry about me." Keira sneered, "Chloe, don't concern yourself with him! He's ignorant and ungrateful.” "Elsa mistreated you, insulted you, and even physically harmed you when you stood up for the Pierce family. And now, after everything she's done today, you're still upset?" "What about Chloe? She dropped everything and rushed here immediately upon hearing just one sentence, risking the possibility of being ridiculed by others, all to save you. And now you're talking about divorce!" Chloe was growing impatient, but she did not dare speak out. Helplessly, she turned to Mr. Pierce, seeking his support.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Pierce promptly sided with Keira like an obedient dog, saying, "Yes! Let him leave! Once he's gone, Chloe can stay, and we'll drive this ignorant fool out!" Simon abruptly stood up and declared, "Fine, I'll leave then!" Keira crossed her arms and replied, "Fine, leave! Ben, transfer all the money from his account and all the real estate under his name to Chloe's name!" "Immediately freeze all his cards once the transfer is done! And there's no need to help him repay any debts. Put a stop on his car, watch, branded clothes, as well as his memberships in luxury establishments like his car dealership, hotels, and restaurants!" Keira stared coldly at her son, speaking in a frigid tone. "Didn't you claim that you didn't owe anyone? Do you think you have the right to control your own life, to choose your own bride? Fine then, go out there naked. I'll respect you as a ‘noble’ man!" Simon was seething with anger, contemplating having all his belongings transferred away. Despite not having much money left, losing his real estate was truly disheartening. What was even more distressing was the suspension of his memberships, which meant he would have no place to eat or sleep once he left home. What was he going to do now? Simon felt dejected. Truth be told, he had been eagerly anticipating his wedding day, like an optimistic child, but it had ended in such a manner. He felt trapped.

Feeling depressed, Simon finally stood up, ready to leave. He thought he could endure a few days of wandering on the streets; after all, his parents would not let him starve to death.

However, to his surprise, Keira spoke up again. "Wait! Give me back those clothes | bought for you!" Simon was speechless.

Frustration welled up inside him, prompting him to strip off the clothes he was wearing, determined to buy his own from now on.

It turned out that none of the clothes in the house seemed to belong to him.

Mr. Pierce huffed with anger and leaned toward Keira, his beard pointing to the sky. "Hurry up!" Simon remained silent while Chloe was bewildered.

Unexpectedly, Simon handed over all the clothes and left with a dark expression on his face.

Chloe was confused. "Mr. and Mrs. Pierce... Isn't this going too far?" Keira was also upset. She had never expected her marriage with Elsa to turn into such a mess, nor did she expect her son's failure to meet expectations to this extent, losing himself in the process.

It was not just embarrassing to go out without clothes, it was also utterly devastating! Keira declared, "There's nothing wrong with it, let him leave! Chloe, you can sit down. | don't need you to cook.” "Go and fetch his ID card." Then, she turned her head and instructed, "Ben, get Simon's ID card and transfer all the real estate under his name to Chloe." Chloe hastily intervened, waving her hand. "No, no, | was just trying to help..." Keira disagreed, aware of what Chloe was thinking. She knew that Chloe cared for Simon just as Simon cared for Elsa.

Regardless of whether they would divorce in three years, even if they did, giving her these things would still serve as compensation.

Simon walked down the street, his upper body bare.

He had nothing on him, not even his phone.

He felt hungry.

Regret and frustration overwhelmed him.

If he had known, he would have controlled his temper at home. He never expected his mother to go to such extremes! Simon could no longer continue walking and sat by the side of the road. There happened to be a barbecue stall not far away. He could not help but glance over and drool.

Suddenly, he felt warmth envelop him as a coat was placed over his shoulders.

Chloe spoke softly, "Go back. It's not good to be outside all the time." Simon responded angrily, "Don't worry about me!" Chloe's heart ached and fluttered simultaneously.

In truth, others might have replied with "I don't need you to care about me.!" but his response was "Don't worry about me." Chloe went to the barbecue stall and bought some grilled food and a few bottles of beer, then sat down beside Simon.

"| understand how you feel..." She experienced similar heartaches many times, understanding the pain of liking someone but not being able to be with them in the end.

At that moment, Chloe felt a connection with Simon.

He liked Elsa, but Elsa did not feel the same way about him, and he could not let it go.

She had feelings for him, but he did not feel the same way, yet she could not bring herself to let go either.

Simon was incredibly hungry. He gratefully picked up the barbecue and started eating, washing it down with beer.

They continued eating in silence for a while. Chloe stayed by his side, keeping him company when everyone left. She helped Simon, who was drunk, walk back home.

To her surprise, Simon suddenly embraced her, lowered his head, brushed against her lips, and whispered with his eyes closed, "Elsa..."
