Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 34

“Please allow me to help with the pie, Mrs. Crawford,” Margaret looked concerned. Bettany shook her

head, “It is the least I could do for Lilly.”

Bettany had always wanted to make Jean’s favorite food after she got better, but Jean never did. Now

with Jean’s daughter here, Bettany felt she needed to do her best to take care of Lilly.

Margaret sighed. Bettany was about to bring out the pie when Lilly rushed into the kitchen. “Granny!”

Lilly ran toward Bettany.

“What’s the matter?” Bettany asked. Before Lilly could reply, Winona’s voice rang through the kitchen,

“Lilly! Where do you think you are going?”

Bettany frowned. Winona stepped into the kitchen and was surprised to find Bettany there. She looked

at Bettany, wide-eyed. “Bettany! You are here.”

“Where would I be?” Bettany scowled at her, “What are you trying to do behind my back?”

“I am not doing anything behind your back,” Winona panicked, “I was simply asking Lilly to pick up the

apple core she threw on the floor, but she used foul language at me.”

“I did not think it was appropriate, so I wanted to explain why to her. That was when she ran away to

the kitchen,” Winona continued.

“Bullshit!” Bettany threw her oven mitts at Winona, fuming, “Get lost! I don’t want to see you here.” She

did not believe a word Winona said, and she had no doubt if she hadn’t been here, Winona would have

had the nerve to hit Lilly.

Winona was furious. Lilly knew Bettany was in the kitchen, and she made Winona follow her to the

kitchen. What a scheming little bitch! Winona tried again, “Bettany, it is not right to spoil Lilly. She

should learn right from wrong at this age already.”

Lilly bit her lip and looked at Bettany and Winona. “I don’t think I have said anything wrong. Aunt

Winona said I brought bad luck to her, but it was her slanted shadow that brought her bad luck. I told

her the fact, and she wanted to punish me for it.”

Bettany’s face fell. She turned toward Margaret, “Gather Winona’s stuff and throw them out! She does

not belong to our family anymore.”

Winona could not believe it. “Whatever! Let Lilly do and say whatever she wants! She will never learn

and she will always be a spoiled brat.” She stomped out of the kitchen and went straight to her

bedroom.

Winona locked the door behind her. Nobody can make me leave! It was clear as day the little shit

deliberately said those things to turn Bettany against Winona, but everyone just let Lilly do and say

whatever she wanted.

At the same time, Bettany was infuriated. “What a bitch! She wouldn’t allow us to lecture her kids, and

yet she had the nerve to lecture my Lilly.”

Margaret coughed and reminded Bettany of Lilly being in the same room. Lilly gently touched Bettany’s

back and said, “It’s okay, Granny. Please don’t get angry.”

Lilly felt sorry for upsetting her Granny. She promised Mommy she would make Granny happy, but she

had failed.

Bettany sighed and decided she would deal with Winona after this. She brought Lilly pie and then

waited until Lilly fell asleep before going after Winona.

“Where is Winona?” She asked Margaret. Margaret answered, “She has gone out to fetch her children,

Mrs. Crawford.” Winona had sneaked out when Bettany waited for Lilly to fall asleep.

“Have you gathered all her stuff?” Bettany asked. Margaret nodded, “Yes, I have.”

Before Bettany could order Margaret to throw all Winona’s stuff out, Hannah was heard crying at the

entrance of the mansion. “No! I don’t want to!”

Zachary entered the house, annoyed. He greeted Bettany hastily and got into his room. Margaret

quickly wheeled Bettany to the entrance to see what was happening. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Winona was seen trying to comfort Hannah at the entrance. On their way back, out of fear of being

chased out of the Crawford family, Winona asked Hannah to give Bettany a massage and to give one

of her toys to Lilly.

Sure enough, the request upset Hannah, and she threw tantrums as Winona had expected. It was the

best way to distract Bettany. Winona pretended to comfort Hannah, “It’s okay, Hannah. Please don’t cry

and make me sad.” However, Hannah cried even louder.

Bettany saw the two at the entrance and was irritated. It was not the first time Hannah tried to get what

she wanted by crying and throwing tantrums. This would not work today.

“Stand there and cry all you want,” Bettany frowned at Hannah and ordered Margaret to bring a bucket,

“Do not stop crying until your tears fill up the bucket.”

Hannah was startled and stopped crying for a brief moment. Winona pulled her aside and confronted

Bettany, “What are you doing, Bettany? You are scaring Hannah!”

With her mother’s support, Hannah continued to cry and throw tantrums. Bettany seemed unfazed. She

decided she had to teach them a lesson today, and nobody could stop her.

“Margaret, throw all her stuff out,” ordered Bettany. Margaret quickly brought all Winona’s stuff to the

entrance and threw them out on the streets.

Winona was dumbfounded. She did not believe Bettany would do this to her in front of her children.

She had always used Hannah and Zachary to distract everyone whenever she got into trouble, and it

had always worked.

“I understand you are angry, Bettany,” Winona tried to calm Bettany down, “However, it is not good to

do this in front of the kids.”

“You don’t belong here anymore,” said Bettany coldly, “Get out of here now!” Winona’s face fell.

Bettany ordered for guards to throw Bettany out. Winona was flustered, “My Hannah! Fine, I will leave,

but I will take Hannah with me!”

“I am sorry, but you are not allowed to bring anyone else with you,” said one of the guards before

pushing her out on the streets and locking the gates.

The guard was hired by Anthony, and he only took orders from Bettany now. The guard who Stephen

and Debbie hired earlier had been fired by Anthony.

Winona was boiling with anger. Lilly had caused all this trouble! Lilly must have told Bettany unpleasant

things about her behind her back.
