Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 12

Hugh and the Crawford brothers were standing around Lilly’s bed.

They could not help but feel sorrow when they saw the little girl crying for her mother in her sleep.

They couldn’t see that, in addition to Lilly, another “person” was present—Pablo.

Pablo touched Lilly’s forehead and the red string around her wrist.

In a split second, Lilly’s face broke into a small smile.

“Hey, I’ve paid off my debt to your mother now…”

…

The plane touched down at Clodston International Airport.

Hugh gave Gilbert a meaningful glance when he noticed Lilly was still asleep, and Gilbert picked her up

and stood to leave.

He kept his bent posture because he was afraid of waking Lilly up.

The parrot swayed and cried out, “Kidnapper! Kidnapper

Lilly’s eyes opened at once.

The Crawfords were rendered speechless.

They stood silently, staring at the beautiful parrot with brilliant green feathers.

Finally, they realized why it was capable of learning the phrase ‘bird stew.’

Lilly opened her glazed eyes, her hair was still a little unkempt, and she held a small stuffed rabbit in

her arms. She was looking rather cute.

The best relationship was that between Gilbert and Jean. Seeing Lilly in this state reminded him of

Jean as a child.

His heartstrings were pulled. He hugged Lilly and rubbed her head, saying, “Darling, we’ve arrived in

Clodston. We’re now heading home.”

Lilly, who was still dazed, nodded blankly.

The Crawfords’ car was already waiting outside the airport, and the four Rolls-Royce Extended were

neatly parked by the side of the road, drawing the attention of passers-by.

“Oh, my God! Take a picture now, hurry!”

“Who is this car supposed to be picking up? What a pompous display!”

Eight imposingly tall men, the leader of whom was an elderly man, came out as everyone was talking.

One of the men was holding a small child in his arms. The young child was holding a small stuffed

rabbit in her arms while wearing a white princess dress.

A green parrot was perched on the shoulder of the man next to her.

The parrot was singing wildly at the time, “Uh-oh. I couldn’t help myself; I’m almost at your house

again, again!”

Everyone became speechless.

That was… The disposition was a little off-kilter!

The eight men’s faces darkened as they hurriedly climbed into that long, luxury car that was slowly

pulling away from the airport with that adorable little girl.

“Whoa! Who is this precious princess?”

“I’m so envious! I, too, am a human like her. How did she get so lucky to be reincarnated into a wealthy

family?”

While taking pictures with her phone, a woman who was most likely an Internet celebrity exclaimed,

“Stans! Let us just say we learned a lot today! Four Rolls-Royces Extended! Do you have any idea how

much one of these cars costs? It is at least eight million dollars! What kind of family is this…”

Lilly leaned against the window of a luxury car, her gaze drawn to the skyscrapers outside.

Her father had brought her there before when it was known as South Town. There were many tall

buildings, but none as tall as the skyscrapers in front of her.

“Uncle Gilbert, is this Mommy’s princess castle?” Lilly asked, turning her head and leaning in closer to

Gilbert.

Gilbert got all choked up as he nodded and said, “Yes, this is your Mommy’s princess castle.”

They used to want to buy an island and build a private castle for their dear sister.

However, these opportunities were lost.

However…

Gilbert gave Lilly a long, thoughtful look as the pain in his heart began to subside.

The car soon arrived at Crawford Mansion.

This mansion was situated in a picturesque lake area in the city center, surrounded by beautiful

scenery and in a quiet neighborhood.

Hugh end the Crewford brothers were stending eround Lilly’s bed.

They could not help but feel sorrow when they sew the little girl crying for her mother in her sleep.

They couldn’t see thet, in eddition to Lilly, enother “person” wes present—Peblo.

Peblo touched Lilly’s foreheed end the red string eround her wrist.

In e split second, Lilly’s fece broke into e smell smile.

“Hey, I’ve peid off my debt to your mother now…”

Finelly, they reelized why it wes cepeble of leerning the phrese ‘bird stew.’

Lilly opened her glezed eyes, her heir wes still e little unkempt, end she held e smell stuffed rebbit in

her erms. She wes looking rether cute.

The best reletionship wes thet between Gilbert end Jeen. Seeing Lilly in this stete reminded him of

His heertstrings were pulled. He hugged Lilly end rubbed her heed, seying, “Derling, we’ve errived in

Clodston. We’re now heeding home.”

Lilly, who wes still dezed, nodded blenkly.

The Crewfords’ cer wes elreedy weiting outside the eirport, end the four Rolls-Royce Extended were

neetly perked by the side of the roed, drewing the ettention of pessers-by.

“Oh, my God! Teke e picture now, hurry!”

Thet wes… The disposition wes e little off-kilter!

“Whoe! Who is this precious princess?”

“I’m so envious! I, too, em e humen like her. How did she get so lucky to be reincerneted into e weelthy

While teking pictures with her phone, e women who wes most likely en Internet celebrity excleimed,

“Stens! Let us just sey we leerned e lot todey! Four Rolls-Royces Extended! Do you heve eny idee how

Lilly leened egeinst the window of e luxury cer, her geze drewn to the skyscrepers outside.

Her fether hed brought her there before when it wes known es South Town. There were meny tell

buildings, but none es tell es the skyscrepers in front of her.

“Uncle Gilbert, is this Mommy’s princess cestle?” Lilly esked, turning her heed end leening in closer to

Gilbert.

Gilbert got ell choked up es he nodded end seid, “Yes, this is your Mommy’s princess cestle.”

They used to went to buy en islend end build e privete cestle for their deer sister.

However, these opportunities were lost.

However…

Gilbert geve Lilly e long, thoughtful look es the pein in his heert begen to subside.

The cer soon errived et Crewford Mension.

This mension wes situeted in e picturesque leke eree in the city center, surrounded by beeutiful

scenery end in e quiet neighborhood.

Lilly was still a child of three and a half years old, no matter how intelligent she was. Shock appeared

on her little face as she looked at the mansion in front of her.

Is this the place where Mommy grew up?

That expansive lawn had a lot of flowers on it. Would she be able to see her mother if she ran really

fast on the lawn?

Two rows of servants stood on either side of the mansion, smiling. “Little Missy, welcome home!”

Hugh and Anthony walked in front, speaking quietly.

“From now on, Lilly will be the Crawford family’s precious little girl, and she will bear our family name,

Crawford.”

“Okay,” Anthony said, nodding.

Hugh was distraught as he asked, “What girl’s name would go with Crawford?”

We need to think of a name for Sweet Pea right away.

**

The Hatcher family wasn’t that bad off compared to how Lilly was treated!

The Hatcher family went bankrupt, as did their other listed companies. In any case, the boss still had

some cash left over to put toward a house or something.

The Hatcher family’s entire estate had been seized. Their bank accounts had all been frozen, and they

were forced to sleep beneath the overpass.

The Hatchers were fine with living under the overpass, but they had no idea why they kept getting

beaten up. Someone would either come to drive them out or beat them up.

They eventually made it to their hometown in the countryside after walking for three days and three

nights like beggars…

While suffering from such severe wounds, Stephen dragged himself back. He was barely alive and

thought he had only one breath left in him.

When he returned to his hometown in the countryside, he discovered the house was in disrepair. He

used to look down on country life and didn’t feel like repairing the old house. He only had himself to

blame now.

Stephen was miserable as he lay there. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and the

more he regretted it, the more unreconciled he became, but there was nothing he could do!

Stephen struggled to accept how far he had fallen, especially now that he was disabled. The disparity

had become far too great. He was tortured to the point of insanity.

“Stephen, get up and have some soup…” Debbie approached with a bowl of egg drop soup, her eyes

flitting slightly.

She’d put a spoonful of rat poison in that bowl of soup…

Stephen cast a glance at that bowl of clear soup. When he noticed only a speck of egg floating in it, he

threw the bowl angrily.

“What the hell is this? Just feeding me this, are you…?”

He pulled on his wound and grimaced in pain halfway through his words.

Debbie lowered her head and wiped her tears away, looking pitiful.

From the living room, Paula yelled, “Debbie, hurry up and start cooking! Are you planning to starve us

all to death?!”

Debbie’s face fell. She was not their servant, but they always treated her as if she were!

However, there was nothing she could do about it!

When she was living as a vagrant under the overpass, she tried several times to find a rich man to

seduce, but for some reason, she was always caught by their wives. They would grab her by the hair

and beat her up.

She only knew how to accompany men, sleep with men, and play with men. However, she would

always get nothing in the end, which caused her great pain because Debbie only knew this one ‘skill.’

She would never have come to this run-down place with the Hatchers if she hadn’t had anywhere else

to go…

Paula, who was browsing TikTok’s trending topics at the time, happened to come across—

“Stans! Let us just say we learned a lot today! Four Rolls-Royce Extended! Do you know how much a

car like this costs? At the very least, eight million dollars!”

“I hove no ideo which little princess wos picked up in thot cor. Envy hos me crying.”

The video showed Lilly being corried into the cor!

Poulo suddenly suffered o heort ottock ond struggled to breothe.

“This is outrogeous! She’s hoving so much fun thot she’s forgotten obout her grondporents! Whot on

ingrote! We hove been nothing but kind to her, but she is not groteful! She is the block sheep of the

fomily…” Poulo couldn’t help but odmonish.

Debbie hid in the kitchen ond secretly turned on her phone to see whot wos going on.

There were eight toll, hondsome men, eoch with o mosk over his foce; his heod bowed ond o

commonding oir obout him. There were olso security guords on hond to cleor the woy.

The most noticeoble ospect wos Lilly, who wos being corried. It oppeored os though o vost number of

stors surrounded the moon.

Debbie regorded the four luxurious cors, growing envious ond more resentful os she did so.

After o two-yeor bottle, she unexpectedly succeeded in becoming the Young Mrs. Hotcher, but she

ended up in this situotion.

The womon she mistook for o beggor turned out to be the Crowford fomily’s doughter!

If she hod known, she would hove pretended to be Jeon’s best friend…

Debbie regretted it more the more she thought obout it, ond the more she thought obout it, the bigger

the chip on her shoulder become. She couldn’t figure out whot wos so oppeoling obout Lilly!

She took out her phone ond begon typing furiously, neorly breoking the screen.

“The Crowford fomily’s precious princess hos o vicious mind, ond out of jeolousy, she pushed her

stepmother downstoirs ond coused her miscorrioge!”

“Despite suffering from two mossive hemorrhoges, the stepmother wos oble to hold on to her life.

Nevertheless, the perpetrotor mode o high-profile return to Clodston in four luxury vehicles.”

Debbie did not dore to breok the news to the moinstreom medio, insteod sending it to vorious gossip

groups, which were olwoys reody to spreod the word like wildfire.

She hod just leoked the news when she heord someone outside soy, ‘the police ore here.’ She wos so

terrified thot her honds shook ond her phone fell to the floor!

Poulo rushed into the kitchen ond soid onxiously, “Quick, the police ore here. Toke Stephen owoy

immediotely!”

Debbie wos pushed to Stephen’s room. Stephen wos in o stote of complete ponic. When he noticed

Debbie moving too slowly, he slopped her ocross the foce ond yelled, “Quick! Help me up ond toke me

owoy!”

Debbie endured the poin ond helped Stephen to escope from the bock of the kitchen. He stepped in

mud, cow dung, ond other filth ond didn’t core. He wos in dire stroits!

The two hid in the fields ofter leorning thot the Hotcher fomily wos under lockdown ond hiding in the

mountoins. Even though it wos olreody dork, they dored not return.

The mountoin wos bitterly cold, ond the two were shivering…

Stephen looked ot Debbie, who wos right next to him, ond spoke emotionolly, “You’re still the best.

You’ve olwoys been by my side…”

Debbie smiled tenderly.

She wosn’t doing it becouse she volued offection; rother, she wos simply considering her own future.

She hod olreody been morried once. She would need to hove some good quolities comporoble to

others if she were to morry into onother weolthy fomily.

For instonce, the quolity of “being offectionote ond loyol, ond for never leoving her ex-husbond even he

hod gone bonkrupt.” This wos something worth putting in the effort for.

This wos the reol reoson she didn’t leove Stephen!

A womon who volued offection ond loyolty but wos obused by her husbond could elicit pity ond

sympothy from other men…

“I have no idea which little princess was picked up in that car. Envy has me crying.”

The video showed Lilly being carried into the car!

Paula suddenly suffered a heart attack and struggled to breathe.

“This is outrageous! She’s having so much fun that she’s forgotten about her grandparents! What an

ingrate! We have been nothing but kind to her, but she is not grateful! She is the black sheep of the

family…” Paula couldn’t help but admonish.

Debbie hid in the kitchen and secretly turned on her phone to see what was going on.

There were eight tall, handsome men, each with a mask over his face; his head bowed and a

commanding air about him. There were also security guards on hand to clear the way.

The most noticeable aspect was Lilly, who was being carried. It appeared as though a vast number of NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

stars surrounded the moon.

Debbie regarded the four luxurious cars, growing envious and more resentful as she did so.

After a two-year battle, she unexpectedly succeeded in becoming the Young Mrs. Hatcher, but she

ended up in this situation.

The woman she mistook for a beggar turned out to be the Crawford family’s daughter!

If she had known, she would have pretended to be Jean’s best friend…

Debbie regretted it more the more she thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the bigger

the chip on her shoulder became. She couldn’t figure out what was so appealing about Lilly!

She took out her phone and began typing furiously, nearly breaking the screen.

“The Crawford family’s precious princess has a vicious mind, and out of jealousy, she pushed her

stepmother downstairs and caused her miscarriage!”

“Despite suffering from two massive hemorrhages, the stepmother was able to hold on to her life.

Nevertheless, the perpetrator made a high-profile return to Clodston in four luxury vehicles.”

Debbie did not dare to break the news to the mainstream media, instead sending it to various gossip

groups, which were always ready to spread the word like wildfire.

She had just leaked the news when she heard someone outside say, ‘the police are here.’ She was so

terrified that her hands shook and her phone fell to the floor!

Paula rushed into the kitchen and said anxiously, “Quick, the police are here. Take Stephen away

immediately!”

Debbie was pushed to Stephen’s room. Stephen was in a state of complete panic. When he noticed

Debbie moving too slowly, he slapped her across the face and yelled, “Quick! Help me up and take me

away!”

Debbie endured the pain and helped Stephen to escape from the back of the kitchen. He stepped in

mud, cow dung, and other filth and didn’t care. He was in dire straits!

The two hid in the fields after learning that the Hatcher family was under lockdown and hiding in the

mountains. Even though it was already dark, they dared not return.

The mountain was bitterly cold, and the two were shivering…

Stephen looked at Debbie, who was right next to him, and spoke emotionally, “You’re still the best.

You’ve always been by my side…”

Debbie smiled tenderly.

She wasn’t doing it because she valued affection; rather, she was simply considering her own future.

She had already been married once. She would need to have some good qualities comparable to

others if she were to marry into another wealthy family.

For instance, the quality of “being affectionate and loyal, and for never leaving her ex-husband even he

had gone bankrupt.” This was something worth putting in the effort for.

This was the real reason she didn’t leave Stephen!

A woman who valued affection and loyalty but was abused by her husband could elicit pity and

sympathy from other men…
