Nothing could stop Blake!
…
After the incident went viral, the other siblings of the Crawford family hurried back home upon learning that Lilly was being cyberbullied.
Gilbert was infuriated. He couldn’t believe that his well-behaved niece was being framed in such a manner!
Edward was so angry that he smashed a dent in the car hood.
The film industry’s golden boy, Jonas, stood up for Lilly. This attracted many haters…
Everyone gathered in the study. Anthony instructed them not to disturb Lilly.
They didn’t want their emotions to affect Lilly.
Edward glared angrily and said, “Brother, are we just going to let this go? I will find that old lady and teach her a lesson.”
Jonas crossed his arms and pushed his glasses up. “Count me in.”
Anthony said coldly, “Public opinion is heated. We need to take things one step at a time. We mustn’t act recklessly.”
The opposing side could always retaliate, no matter what the Crawford family did, putting them in a difficult position.
The Crawford family couldn’t resort to violence either.
If the Crawford family went against the law, it would only prove the public’s opinion right.
The Crawford family couldn’t allow that to happen.
Even if the Crawford family were to threaten the old lady into changing her story, the public wouldn’t believe it without surveillance footage. People would continue to say hurtful things about Lilly.
Anthony didn’t want Lilly to get hurt anymore…
The Crawford brothers were filled with anger.
…
Lilly remained depressed in her room.
Lilly had been taught many life lessons, but she couldn’t make sense of the world.
Pablo sat cross-legged in front of Lilly and asked, “Lilly, do you have the courage to defend yourself?”
Lilly raised her head and asked, “Can I?”
Pablo continued, “You have to believe in yourself! Your courage is the light that can defeat all the monsters in this world.”
Pablo even recounted superhero moves from cartoons to comfort Lilly.
“You can confidently say no to those online bullies. You can bravely stand up and defend yourself.”
“There are many things you can do. Even if the storm is heavy, there’s nothing to be afraid of if you have courage.”
Lilly listened to her master’s words, and she felt the fire in her heart reignite.
No one knew it, but this would be the most crucial turning point for Lilly…
Lilly clenched her fists and said with determination, “I can do it. I want to explain for myself.”
Polly flapped its wings and squeaked, “You can do it, Lilly! You should speak up for yourself!”
Lilly replied, “Yes! I should speak up for myself!”
Pablo twitched his mouth.
“Lilly, speak for yourself, which means expressing your opinion. It’s not ‘squeak by yourself’…”
Lilly rushed to Josh’s room in her slippers.
Josh’s hair was disheveled from pulling at it during an online argument.
Josh looked tired and dizzy.
Seeing Lilly, Josh quickly put away his phone and asked, “Lilly, what’s wrong?”
Lilly said, “Josh, you don’t need to hide it! I know everything.”
Josh fell silent. He quickly thought about how to comfort Lilly. “Lilly, don’t listen to them. These people don’t know anything. Dad will resolve everything!”
Lilly shook her head. “Josh, I want to speak for myself.”
Josh was surprised. “What?”
Lilly raised her voice. “I want to speak for myself.”
“I haven’t done anything wrong, and I have the courage to explain myself!”
“They can’t bully me!”
Daddy told me not to silently endure any injustice!
Josh’s mouth hung open. The fire in his heart was ignited. “Alright! I will prepare the equipment for you!”
The children began preparing the equipment for video recording.
There was no hesitation.
If Lilly approached Anthony, he wouldn’t allow it.
However, children sometimes didn’t think about the consequences like adults do.
Children moved forward with courage. Even if they made mistakes and got hurt, they had an unwavering spirit.
When Anthony realized that Lilly was about to speak for herself, it was too late to stop her.
The Crawford family had downcast expressions in the study. Everyone racked their brains to solve the problem at hand.
Unexpectedly, they received a new notification.
Upon opening it, the Crawford family was shocked.
Lilly sat in front of the camera, behaving well. She folded her hands in her lap.
Lilly blinked nervously, showing her anxiety.
Then, Lilly asked, “Is everything alright? Can I begin?”
Josh’s voice came from the side, “All good.”
Lilly gazed at the camera and said, “Hello, everyone…”
“I’m Lilly, the mischievous child you were talking about.”
Lilly bit her lip. Initially, she was too scared to look at the camera. However, as she spoke, she grew braver.
“I did hit Ray, but I don’t believe I’m to blame.”
“During breakfast, Ray called me a Big Belly. He also said I ate too much and left nothing on my plate. Ray even claimed that I couldn’t do anything right.”
“Lilly was angry, so she asked Ray to stop, but he continued.”
“Lilly ignored Ray and went to report attendance.”
