Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Mabel held back her indignance. “It’s true that amethyst isn't that valuable. | was in a rush, and the only bracelet in the shop that looked nice was this one. It's my fault...” Bettany added, “Also, you're not close enough with Blake to be on a first-name basis with him. | know you want in on our life, but this isn’t the way to go about it!” Mabel bit her lip, her eyes reddening at once. “Did he say that to you?” “Blake's really gotten it wrong...” Mabel shook her head. “I never know how to explain every time | want to. He might have really gotten me wrong. | even remember going to school with him when we were little...” “He loved sticking close behind me, calling out for me all the time. I'm heartbroken to see our relationship get to this stage because of a misunderstanding with my grandfather.” Mabel sighed.

Yet a cold voice rang through the air. “Is it because you think I'm not here that you're making up stories about my childhood to your heart's content?” Mabel got a shock, but quickly calmed down and lit up in joy. “Blake, you're here too...” She appeared calm, but her chest was thudding with panic as she forced out a smile. “Your sister-in-law’s been saying he wants to buy you dinner, but you've just been so busy.” Blake’s gaze was ice-cold. “You're kind of going overboard with the lies here.” Bettany nodded. “I 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?” Mabel: ...

F*ck, she had forgotten about that! She thought that Blake wasn’t around, and had opened her mouth and blabbered! “I'm sorry, it appears I've remembered wrongly,” Mabel said at once. “But we're still siblings at the end of the day, oh Blakey...” Before she could finish.

Alady 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. “Who's this...” Lisa marched up to Mabel, reaching out and lifting her into the air before walking out, “Garbage... kick ‘em out!” 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. “It’s true that amethyst isn't that valuable. | was in a rush, and the only bracelet in the shop that looked nice was this one. It's my fault...” 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, “Grandma Crawford, please don't do this, please don't do this to my Mom...” 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 wasn't just anyone.

“Are you going to get up on your own, or do | need to get someone to make you get up?” Yena sobbed, “Grandma Crawford, are you mad because | said the wrong thing? I'm sorry, it’s all my fault. Please don't hit my Mom...” She cried even harder the more she spoke, launching into a full wail. “Don’t hit my Mom, don’t hit my Mom...” She sobbed pitifully.

Her gaze was terrified, as if she was no stranger to being treated like this. It wasn’t 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.

“Sigh... itis a little unfair. The kid did nothing wrong...” 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, “Where’s Lilly, has she finished what she wanted to do?” Blake's gaze flashed. So Bettany had known all along as well...

“She's done.” 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.

“Arthur, wrap this up and throw it at Mabel’s face.” 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 Mabel's 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, “Grondmo Crowford, pleose don't do this, pleose don't do this to my Mom...” 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 wosn't just onyone.

“Are you going to get up on your own, or do | need to get someone to moke you get up?” Yeno sobbed, “Grondmo Crowford, ore you mod becouse | soid the wrong thing? I'm sorry, it’s oll my foult. Pleose don't hit my Mom...” She cried even horder the more she spoke, lounching into o full woil. “Don’t hit my Mom, don’t hit my Mom...” She sobbed pitifully.

Her goze wos terrified, os if she wos no stronger to being treoted like this. It wosn’t 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.

“Sigh... itis o little unfoir. The kid did nothing wrong...” 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, “Where’s Lilly, hos she finished whot she wonted to do?” Bloke’s goze floshed. So Bettony hod known oll olong os well...

“She’s done.” 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.

“Arthur, wrop this up ond throw it ot Mobel's foce.” 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 Mobel’s 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. Crawford's good side, and get Blake's 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 anyone’s 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. “Hang on!” 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 Blake's men.

Was Blake going to ask her to stay? Mabel wiped her tears away hurriedly, looking as pitiful as possible. “What's the matter? Did Blake say anything...” 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! “Ahhh...” Mabel cried out sharply.

Arthur glared at her. “Take your own rubbish with you!” 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! Mabel’s anger reached a new high...

Yena glanced at her mother’s 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. “We're going home! When we get back and your father asks what happened to my bracelet, you're going to say you tripped and the bracelet broke while | was trying to block your fall... got it?” Yena nodded. “Got it.” This always happened. Her mother was always using her as an excuse.

Unlike that cousin of hers, the Crawfords were never nice to Yena...

Yena swore to herself that she would not give up! Her cousin sister hadn’t even returned yet! It had been so long, she wasn’t 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.
