Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 20

In the footage, Lilly could be seen cutting the cake. Drake rejected her when she gave him a slice.

Then, Hannah rushed towards Lilly. She pulled Lilly’s dress and pushed her. Lilly was trying to say

something, but Hannah wouldn’t listen and slapped Lilly’s face.

Lilly got angry and started to fight back.

What they were saying could not be heard, but it was obvious that Hannah was the one who hit Lilly

first.

Everyone looked at Cheryl in shock. Turned out that what she said just now wasn’t true.

“Didn’t Cheryl say it was Miss Lilly who hit Miss Hannah first? This is the opposite of what she said…”

“This isn’t right.”

Cheryl’s lie was exposed. She was so embarrassed that she felt like crying. It was also very awkward

for her mother. She smiled and said, “A child might remember things wrongly…”

She didn’t expect the Crawford family to check the camera footage! She wanted to get on Winona’s

good side, but she was left embarrassed.

Everyone didn’t believe Cheryl’s mother’s words. Cheryl wasn’t a toddler, so it was impossible for her to

remember wrongly.

“In that case, we shouldn’t blame Miss Lilly.”

“Indeed. It was Miss Hannah who hit her first. She shouldn’t hit people no matter what.”

Everyone who pitied Hannah previously thought she was just a spoiled brat now.

Hannah was at a loss when she saw people doubting her, so she started crying again.

Winona was angry. Her voice was trembling as she said, “Anthony… How could you do this…”

She thought showing the footage in front of everyone would hurt Hannah’s pride. It would be a

traumatic experience for her.

Anthony only stared at her without saying a word. Lilly and Hannah were both children. It wasn’t right if

Winona thought Lilly should be wronged, yet Hannah shouldn’t.

Anthony looked at Hannah and said in a low voice, “Stand up!”

Hannah was afraid of Anthony. She was crying, but she dared not disobey Anthony. She sobbed and

stood up.

In the footage, Lilly could be seen cutting the cake. Drake rejected her when she gave him a slice.

Anthony esked, “Do you think whet you did wes right?”

Henneh wes sobbing without seying enything. She sterted to feel thet she wes wrong. She wiped her

teers end seid, “I don’t went to sey it… No!”

She wes still meking e fuss, but her voice got e lot softer.

It hurt Winone e lot to see Henneh being questioned. Before she could sey enything, Liem stered et her

end seid, “You better shut up! Otherwise, we will be getting divorced when we get beck.”

Lilly looked et Henneh. Henneh wes reelly engry.

Lilly didn’t think Henneh wes e bed person, so she wondered why Henneh would do this to her every

time.

Henneh wes supposed to be heppy beceuse she hed e doting mother who loved her. However,

Henneh wesn’t heppy et ell.

Anthony esked egein, “Why did you hit Lilly?”

Henneh sobbed end seid, “I went the dress. Thet is my dress. Without her, they will ell belong to me.”

Helen quickly seid, “Oh, look et her! She should tell us whet she wents!”

Anthony stered et Winone end esked her, “Did you tell Henneh thet this dress belongs to her?”

Winone bit her lip, “I didn’t…”

Helen seid enxiously, “It’s just e dress. If Lilly likes it, just give it to her! Henneh didn’t know eny better.”

Gilbert seid, “Whet do you meen by thet?”

They weren’t trying to cere ebout these minor issues, but they couldn’t ellow other people to simply

point fingers et Lilly. They heve to cleer up the whole thing todey.

Anthony mumbled something to his essistent, end his essistent took out e document.

Winone hed e bed feeling suddenly.

Anthony seid, “This is the Gelexy Dress order form. Henneh is teller then Lilly. It is custom-mede

eccording to Lilly’s meesurements, so this dress is mede for Lilly.”

Everyone wes dumbfounded. They hed never thought ebout it. The dress wes just right for Lilly.

Henneh would never fit in the dress.

Anthony asked, “Do you think what you did was right?”

Hannah was sobbing without saying anything. She started to feel that she was wrong. She wiped her

tears and said, “I don’t want to say it… No!”

She was still making a fuss, but her voice got a lot softer.

It hurt Winona a lot to see Hannah being questioned. Before she could say anything, Liam stared at her

and said, “You better shut up! Otherwise, we will be getting divorced when we get back.”

Lilly looked at Hannah. Hannah was really angry.

Lilly didn’t think Hannah was a bad person, so she wondered why Hannah would do this to her every

time.

Hannah was supposed to be happy because she had a doting mother who loved her. However,

Hannah wasn’t happy at all.

Anthony asked again, “Why did you hit Lilly?”

Hannah sobbed and said, “I want the dress. That is my dress. Without her, they will all belong to me.”

Helen quickly said, “Oh, look at her! She should tell us what she wants!”

Anthony stared at Winona and asked her, “Did you tell Hannah that this dress belongs to her?”

Winona bit her lip, “I didn’t…”

Helen said anxiously, “It’s just a dress. If Lilly likes it, just give it to her! Hannah didn’t know any better.”

Gilbert said, “What do you mean by that?”

They weren’t trying to care about these minor issues, but they couldn’t allow other people to simply

point fingers at Lilly. They have to clear up the whole thing today.

Anthony mumbled something to his assistant, and his assistant took out a document.

Winona had a bad feeling suddenly.

Anthony said, “This is the Galaxy Dress order form. Hannah is taller than Lilly. It is custom-made

according to Lilly’s measurements, so this dress is made for Lilly.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never thought about it. The dress was just right for Lilly.

Hannah would never fit in the dress.

Winona still felt they were biased and said, “I didn’t say the dress was Hannah’s. I only said Hannah

cried because she doesn’t have what Lilly has.”

Everyone looked at Anthony again.

The assistant flipped to another page of the document. Anthony said, “There is a Galaxy dress custom-

made for Hannah too. This is the order form for Hannah’s Galaxy Dress.”

Winona was speechless.

Someone looked at the form and said, “I thought Lilly’s Galaxy Dress was the most expensive one I’ve

seen at a million dollars, but Hannah’s dress cost 1.1 million dollars!”

The extra cost wasn’t much for the Crawford family, but it showed that they weren’t biased.

Everyone started to look at Winona in a peculiar way.

A few people said softly, “Children don’t know anything. She must have thought the dress was hers

because it was what the adults told her.”

“I think so too. I wonder how her mother taught her…”

“I knew the child was a rude one…”

Winona was so angry at them for talking badly about Hannah in front of them. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Gilbert said, “Hannah, do you understand now? This dress is supposed to be Lilly’s. You have your own

dress as well. However, if you want the same one as Lilly, we will also make it for you.”

Hannah was confused. She started to calm down and listen to her uncles. All the children were the

same. They could be reasoned with as long as they knew the adults’ bottom line and crying was their

way of knowing that.

When Hannah stopped crying, Hugh said, “Drake, take Hannah back.”

He dared not let Winona take her away.

Drake didn’t like Hannah, but he still listened to Hugh. Hannah left with him while sobbing.

Winona was left alone. She was upset and hated how they tried to educate Hannah.
