She raised her eyebrows and scolded Nicole, “And you! If you want to eat, eat properly! Or I’ll throw you out!”
Nicole, Lydia, and Harry were stunned.
Elliot, who came out and saw the overturned side table, was also shocked.
It was their first time seeing Rebecca like this, and they felt annoyed.
Harry shouted angrily, “Rebecca, are you crazy? Speak nicely to Aunt Lydia!”
Rebecca stepped forward and slapped Harry hard, feeling aggrieved.
Pa!
“Speak nicely to me first!”
In the jade necklace, an undetectable red light passed by to support Rebecca.
She raised her chin arrogantly and defiantly.
Harry was trembling with anger. “You… Get out of here!”
Rebecca slapped him again. “Don’t forget this house is mine too! You’re the one who should leave!”
Lydia opened her mouth in shock and dropped the small cake she wanted to give to Nicole on the ground.
Elliot, who was about to say something, couldn’t speak.
Harry was furious. He stood up ferociously and raised his hand.
Rebecca sneered. “Come on, hit me! Hit me here!”
Harry’s chest heaved. In the end, he gave up on hitting Rebecca. He picked up the car keys, gritted his teeth, and said, “Don’t regret it!”
Rebecca indifferently glanced at Lydia and Nicole on the ground.
Lydia quickly picked up Nicole and ran out.
Elliot was furious. “Rebecca, you’re out of control…”
Rebecca grabbed a jade vase from the table and threw it at Elliot, cutting her off.
Out of control? Every time we have an argument, they always say I’m out of control! Today I’ll show them what being truly out of control means!
The jade vase shattered under Elliot’s feet, exposing the soil inside. Elliot trembled with anger.
After stomping her feet, she also angrily chased after Harry. Before leaving, she slammed the door hard.
Lydia shook her head. “I’ve never seen a woman like this! We were doing it for her own good! Why did she lose her temper? She didn’t appreciate us at all.”
Elliot was full of anger. “Let’s not worry about her! She’ll regret it later!”
Elliot thought Rebecca would beg them to come back. She was confident that Rebecca wouldn’t find another good man like Harry, who cared for the family. He didn’t waste money, gamble, or fool around. He only went fishing. Since Rebecca had children with him, Elliot thought Rebecca wouldn’t divorce Harry and wouldn’t have a chance to remarry another man.
They drove back to their hometown angrily. Inside the house, Rebecca made a phone call. “Hello, Mr. Cooper. I want the Victorian villa you showed me yesterday! I’ll sign the contract right away. Also, help me sell my current house!”
Harry and Elliot thought they had a say in the matter, but Rebecca was about to shatter their dreams.
In the afternoon, Rebecca bought the villa for 5 million dollars. It was her favorite with exquisite decorations.
After buying the house, she went to transfer the ownership right away. Her son and daughter were both listed as residents. The transfer was convenient and fast, taking less than an hour.
During the transfer, she hired a housekeeping team. She used to clean the house herself, but now she could have the new villa cleaned and disinfected without lifting a finger.
She also hired a moving team to move all her and her children’s belongings. As for Harry and Elliot’s things?
Rebecca wasn’t heartless. She packed up their belongings and sent them back to their hometown.
Soon, she changed into a new outfit, put on beautiful makeup, and carried the Chanel bag she had bought for herself to pick up her children from school.
She took her children to their new home, then went out to have a big meal. Her children were stunned.
“Mommy, you’re amazing!” exclaimed Rebecca’s daughter. Rebecca’s son inquired, “Mommy, where are Daddy and Grandma?”
Rebecca smiled. “Your daddy and grandma believe that the countryside is preferable, so they have chosen to live there. Would you like to live in a villa with me or go and live with them?”
The two children eagerly raised their hands. “We want to live in a villa!”
Rebecca chuckled.
It wasn’t as difficult as I had anticipated! And it’s so wonderful!
Rebecca felt a sense of relief. It became apparent that earning money did not equate to living a good life. She could only find happiness when she possessed confidence and strength.
On their way home, Lilly suddenly hugged Anthony and asked, “Uncle Anthony, are you feeling unwell?”
Anthony paused for a moment. “It’s okay.” He gently touched her head. “I’m fine.”
In the past few years, he had been physically and mentally exhausted since his sister Jean disappeared. He had made every effort to gather information and find Jean, but he couldn’t calm down enough to make decisions.
Meanwhile, Crawford Holdings was going through a critical period and needed his attention to develop. As a result, he could only work quietly at night. Gradually, he developed a habit of staying up until three or four in the morning.
As a result, he now suffered from severe sleep disorders. He had health problems and often experienced headaches and dizziness.
Lilly asked solemnly, “Uncle Anthony, have
you been having trouble sleeping at night?”
Anthony was taken aback. “How did you know?”
Lilly shook her red bracelet. “Ms. Ugly told me. She goes for walks at night and sometimes likes to lie on the window sill and watch you.”
Lilly didn’t hide anything from her most trusted Uncle Anthony.
Anthony was speechless. He glanced at the red bracelet on her wrist and imagined the scene. He was focused on his work while a female ghost lay on the window sill, staring at him.
Anthony coughed to hide his fear. “Lilly, do you know any charms or spells?”
Lilly nodded. “Yes, what kind of spell do you need?”
Anthony replied, “I need an exorcism spell.”
Upon hearing this, Lilly looked at Anthony curiously. “Uncle Anthony, are you afraid of ghosts?”
Anthony didn’t change his expression and spoke calmly. “Nope.”
Lilly patted Anthony as if she understood him. “Uncle Anthony, it’s okay! I understand!”
Anthony felt helpless with Lilly’s mischievousness.
…
Back at the Crawford family, Bettany called them to eat.
After the meal, Hugh looked serious and called Anthony into the study.
Lilly accompanied Bettany for a chat while pinching her legs, then she ran back to her room. Bettany smiled. She always felt very relaxed after Lilly massaged her legs, as if she could stand up at any moment.
Meanwhile, Lilly returned to her room and lay on the table to draw.
In the first painting, Bettany was sitting in a wheelchair. Lilly muttered, “Granny has weak legs.”
In the second painting, Anthony was busy with work, and outside the window were the stars, the moon, and a female ghost. Lilly muttered again, “Uncle Anthony can’t sleep.”
