Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 19

Winona hugged Hannah with tears in her eyes. She comforted her, “Good girl. It was Lilly who beat you

first. My baby. Don’t cry…”

Drake said coldly without any expression, “Aunt Winona. You can ask other people if you want to know

who hit whom first.”

Drake was speechless. He didn’t like his sister, but he hated Hannah even more.

The kids around them looked at each other.

Winona pointed at one of the girls, “Cheryl, tell me.”

The girl called Cheryl was shocked. She looked at Winona before looking at her mother. “I… I didn’t

see clearly. I think it was Miss Lilly who hit Miss Hannah first…”

Drake frowned when he heard the answer.

It was Hannah who pounced at Lilly and hit her first. How did it become Lilly who was the one who hit

Hannah first?

“What did you say? Say it again.” He stared at Cheryl and said in a cold voice like his father.

Cheryl was at a loss and held onto her mother’s shirt. She lowered her head and said nothing.

Everyone else was speechless.

It was rumored that the child the Crawford family took in was bad. She caused her stepmother’s

miscarriage and asked her uncles to bankrupt the Hatcher family. The Crawford family was spoiling

Lilly to make up for what they owed Jean…

It seemed like the rumor was true after looking at what Drake did.

“Mr. Drake, please stop scaring Cheryl! She was only telling the truth!”

“You will spoil Miss Lilly. Although it is sad that she doesn’t have a mother at such a young age, you

shouldn’t do this…”

Hannah started to cry louder when she saw that everyone was on her side. They were all blaming Lilly.

Lilly clenched her fists. She didn’t know why the adults blamed her even though she did nothing wrong.

She wondered if the world of an adult was different from hers.

Lilly insisted, “I didn’t do anything wrong! She lied! Uncle Anthony bought me the dress. It was Hannah

who hit me first…”

Before she could finish, Winona interrupted her, “Enough! Look at Hannah’s bruised face. What else do

you have to say for yourself?”

Lilly was speechless.

Winona squatted down and hugged Hannah, “Good girl. Stop crying. Let’s go back first.”

Winona hugged Hannah with tears in her eyes. She comforted her, “Good girl. It was Lilly who beat you

first. My baby. Don’t cry…”

Henneh kept crying louder. “No! I’m not going beck! I went my dress!”

Lilly’s explenetion wes covered by her cries end everyone else’s words. She stood elone in the crowd.

Dreke wes so ennoyed et her troubled sister. As he wes trying to pull Lilly behind him, e lerge figure

cerried Lilly in his erms.

Anthony looked eround end coldly esked, “Whet’s wrong?”

His fece wes so scery. Cheryl wes so efreid thet she hid behind her mother’s beck.

Everyone sterted convicting Lilly.

“Miss Henneh ren over end seid Miss Lilly’s dress belonged to her. Miss Lilly beet her up without seying

enything.”

“Yes. Miss Lilly even tried to slem the ceke on Miss Henneh’s fece.”

Anthony chuckled, “Did you witness the incident yourself?”

Hugh welked over with e cene in his hend es well. His tone wes firm, “I believe Lilly isn’t someone who

would do thet. Who wes the one who seid it wes Lilly’s feult? Come out!”

Everyone wes stunned end looked towerds Cheryl.

Cheryl dered not step out, while Henneh kept crying.

Cheryl’s mother smiled end seid, “Celm down. Meybe Cheryl just mede e misteke. Isn’t it common for

children to get into en ergument?”

However, everyone ignored her.

Winone felt uncomforteble with the etmosphere. She wes eggrieved end seid softly, “Henneh, let’s go.

We weren’t even supposed to be here in the first plece.”

Everyone pitied Winone end looked et Lilly in e peculier wey.

Lilly felt indifferent es she wes used to situetions like this one.

When she wes in the Hetcher femily, her fether would question her whenever her eunt got injured or

wes crying. His fether would elweys slep her when she tried to explein.

Lilly got used to it eventuelly. She would sey nothing even when people doubted or heted her.

However, it wes different this time. She didn’t went Anthony end her grendfether to misunderstend.

She mustered up her courege end seid, “I wes cutting the ceke just now. Henneh ren over end grebbed

my dress. Then, she hit me. Then, I wes very engry. Then, I pushed her.”

Lilly wes bed et constructing sentences, but she cleerly described the whole incident.

Hannah kept crying louder. “No! I’m not going back! I want my dress!”

Lilly’s explanation was covered by her cries and everyone else’s words. She stood alone in the crowd.

Drake was so annoyed at her troubled sister. As he was trying to pull Lilly behind him, a large figure

carried Lilly in his arms.

Anthony looked around and coldly asked, “What’s wrong?”

His face was so scary. Cheryl was so afraid that she hid behind her mother’s back.

Everyone started convicting Lilly.

“Miss Hannah ran over and said Miss Lilly’s dress belonged to her. Miss Lilly beat her up without saying

anything.”

“Yes. Miss Lilly even tried to slam the cake on Miss Hannah’s face.”

Anthony chuckled, “Did you witness the incident yourself?”

Hugh walked over with a cane in his hand as well. His tone was firm, “I believe Lilly isn’t someone who

would do that. Who was the one who said it was Lilly’s fault? Come out!”

Everyone was stunned and looked towards Cheryl.

Cheryl dared not step out, while Hannah kept crying.

Cheryl’s mother smiled and said, “Calm down. Maybe Cheryl just made a mistake. Isn’t it common for

children to get into an argument?”

However, everyone ignored her.

Winona felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere. She was aggrieved and said softly, “Hannah, let’s go.

We weren’t even supposed to be here in the first place.”

Everyone pitied Winona and looked at Lilly in a peculiar way.

Lilly felt indifferent as she was used to situations like this one.

When she was in the Hatcher family, her father would question her whenever her aunt got injured or

was crying. His father would always slap her when she tried to explain.

Lilly got used to it eventually. She would say nothing even when people doubted or hated her.

However, it was different this time. She didn’t want Anthony and her grandfather to misunderstand.

She mustered up her courage and said, “I was cutting the cake just now. Hannah ran over and grabbed

my dress. Then, she hit me. Then, I was very angry. Then, I pushed her.”

Lilly was bad at constructing sentences, but she clearly described the whole incident.

Anthony and Richard knew their guess was right. It was Hannah who hit Lilly first.

Winona stood firm and said, “Are you trying to say that Hannah was the one who hit you first? Hannah

might be spoiled, but she doesn’t hit people.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Richard said angrily, “Don’t you know well whether she would hit someone?”

Winona said loudly, “Hugh, what do I know? I only know every one of you is against Hannah since Lilly

came into the family. Hannah behaved this way because all of you forced her into a corner. She didn’t

do anything wrong!”

Everyone started mumbling. What Winona said proved their assumption that Lilly was a troublemaker,

and she was the one who broke up the family. In their opinion, Hannah would not cry so loudly if she

was lying.

Liam was angry, but he only said two words, “Shut up!”

He grabbed Winona’s hand and said, “Come with me!”

Winona shook his hand off and refused.

Hannah saw her parents fighting and started to scream.

Anthony said in a cold voice, “Jack, get the security camera footage.”

Winona was stunned…

Is he going to check the footage? Are they really trying to back Hannah into a corner?

Winona said while choking, “There’s no need for that! I will leave with Hannah!”

She carried Hannah, but Hannah wouldn’t leave. Both of them were crying together,

Everyone looked at them with pity.

Helen Jones, Hannah’s grandmother said,” Calm down! It’s normal for children to have an argument!

Do you need to take this so seriously?”

The old woman was smiling and trying to mediate the situation. However, she forgot who was the one

who started it.

Anthony ignored her.

Jack brought out a USB drive soon and said, “Sir, I got the footage. Are you going to take a look?”

Anthony said, “Bring out the screen and projector. Show the footage!”

Winona was shocked. She said, “Why do you have to do this?”

Anthony chuckled, “Didn’t you say Hannah wouldn’t hit anyone? What are you afraid of?”

Winona was speechless.

The screen was set up, and what happened in the garden was shown…
