Listening to everyone’s candid discussions, Giuliana felt nothing but embarrassment and grievance.
Jerome blushed as Blake exposed their lies. They had lost face and didn’t know what to do.
Rylee quickly reacted and said, “Grandpa Jerome, Blake must be tired. Let’s go inside and talk!”
He looked at Blake and warmly smiled. “Blake, what do you think?”
Giuliana quickly echoed Rylee, “Yes, Blake! Let’s go inside first!”
Jerome also said, “Blake, you must be tired! Come inside first…”
The MacNeil family felt ashamed and wanted to invite Blake inside.
They didn’t want their disgrace to be exposed. No matter how embarrassed they were, others wouldn’t laugh at them anymore if they continued the conversation indoors.
Unexpectedly, Blake looked at Lilly again.
“Lilly, do you want to go inside?” Blake asked.
Before Lilly could respond, Giuliana hurriedly suggested, “Lilly, let’s go inside, okay? Look, I’ve prepared cakes for you! There are many toys inside. We have dolls!”
Lilly shook her head. “I don’t want your cakes and toys.”
Although Lilly enjoyed eating cakes, she didn’t eat cakes from strangers. She was cautious.
Giuliana felt like she was about to explode. Just a moment ago, she wanted to drive Lilly away. She didn’t expect to invite Lilly inside so soon, only to be refused! If she had known Lilly’s identity earlier, she wouldn’t have been so harsh on her.
Blake said, “Layton, go and retrieve my grandpa’s medal of honor.”
Layton Davenport was Blake’s subordinate. The leaders had instructed Layton to keep an eye on Blake to prevent him from causing trouble, but Layton had failed.
Layton secretly sighed and quickly went inside to retrieve the medal of honor.
Apart from everything else, Erick’s medal of honor was not suitable to be kept by the MacNeil family. It dishonored the hero!
Jerome and Giuliana never expected Blake to take Erick’s medal of honor.
They had gained their reputation thanks to the merits associated with Erick’s medal of honor. What would they do if Blake took it away?
Giuliana hurriedly followed inside.
Jerome urgently said, “Blake! You’ve gone too far!”
A man with distorted views whispered, “Yeah, Chief MacNeil has gone too far! It’s been so long since his relatives refused to help him. Why does he hold a grudge? He should consider himself lucky if his relatives do help him, but they’re not obligated to.”
Hearing this, Lilly felt perplexed. Now my Long Legs Daddy just wants to reclaim his things. Isn’t that normal?
Blake arrogantly asked, “What did you say?”
He looked at the man and said coldly, “I’ve never been generous, so I don’t accept your perspective. In what capacity did they obtain my grandpa’s medal of honor? It’s more reasonable for me to keep it!”
He only took Erick’s medal of honor and didn’t harm them. He had already been generous enough, so others couldn’t demand more from him.
The man who had muttered earlier looked embarrassed and immediately fell silent.
Meanwhile, Layton emerged with the medal of honor, with Giuliana trailing behind, desperately trying to stop him and eager to snatch it back.
Blake looked around blankly and addressed the guests, “I want to make it clear today. I have no connection with them.”
Then, he warned Jerome and Giuliana, “From now on, if you dare to use my grandpa’s name to deceive others again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Lilly nodded vigorously. “Yes, don’t blame him!” She grinned, attempting to appear fierce.
Blake smiled. He held Lilly and tossed Erick’s medal of honor onto the SUV.
Then, he gently placed Lilly in the seat. “Come on, Lilly. Let’s go home.”
Anthony, who had been observing calmly from the beginning to the end, suddenly snapped back to reality.
“Oh no! He intends to take Lilly away!” Anthony exclaimed.
“Wait!” Anthony immediately started chasing after them.
The arrogant and reckless SUV crashed into the dilapidated iron gate of the MacNeil family before vanishing into the darkness.
Anthony’s expression turned grim.
Layton was equally taken aback. “Mr. MacNeil, I haven’t gotten into the car yet.”
As the SUV arrogantly drove away, the MacNeil family felt regretful and infuriated.
The MacNeil family had nothing left! If they had known that Lilly was Blake’s daughter, they would have welcomed her with open arms!
They couldn’t help but blame Blake for his ruthlessness towards them, even though they were his relatives. Not only did he take away the medal of honor, but he also spoke harshly. Who would respect them now? He intended to bring them to ruin!
True to their fears, when the people around saw Blake driving away, they also left. They even took back the birthday gifts. If it were someone else, the guests wouldn’t have done that, but it was Giuliana.
Giuliana was furious and anxiously tried to stop them. “You… you guys! How can you take back the gifts? Don’t leave!”
The MacNeil family felt desperate. They had looked down on others just moments ago. Now they had no choice but to politely
explain to the guests. However, the guests didn’t appreciate it.
“Let’s go! Ugh! What terrible luck!”
“They’re all liars! Thankfully, we discovered the truth!”
“They have no shame!”
“Hahaha! So shameless!”
In less than a moment, everyone had disappeared.
Meanwhile, Colton arrived after finishing his work and reports. He got out of the car and surveyed the scene.
“Let’s go.” Colton stepped forward and draped a coat over Melody.
Melody, with Colton’s warm coat wrapped around her, pursed her lips and turned her face away.
Ivan’s face was stern, and he continued to gaze in the direction where Blake and Lilly had left.
The MacNeil family saw a glimmer of hope and hurriedly blocked Colton and Melody. “Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw… please stay!”
“Mr. Shaw, you and Blake are comrades, right? Please tell Blake it was a misunderstanding!”
“We didn’t expect…”
Colton’s expression was cold, and his eyes were stern. “Do you understand the consequences of offending the military department?”
Upon hearing that, the MacNeil family dared not speak any further.
Colton embraced Melody, who was about to get into the car first, and reminded the MacNeil family, “Don’t be shameless again.”
Then, he turned to Melody with a softer tone. “Melody, you…”
Melody didn’t wait for Colton to speak and scolded the MacNeil family, “Take a good look at yourselves in the mirror! You should be ashamed!”
Colton was stunned.
The MacNeil family was left in confusion as they didn’t even utter a word.
Soon, the Shaw family drove away as well.
