Lilly spoke softly and calmly.
However, Lilly’s composed demeanor made Bettany want to cry.
What did Lilly do wrong? Why does she have to face so much adversity?
On camera, Lilly continued in a sweet voice.
“It was my first day of kindergarten, and the teacher asked me to introduce myself. I was so happy, and I said, ‘Hello, everyone, my name is Lilly, and I am glad to make friends with all of you.'”
“Ray made fun of me, calling me a Chubby Sweet Potato!”
“The teacher asked Ray to apologize, and he quickly said sorry. I didn’t want to forgive him because his apology wasn’t sincere.”
“I ignored Ray, but he pulled my hairpin during class.”
Lilly touched her head and said, “It’s right here. Ray grabbed my bunny hairpin and yanked it off. He pulled out some of my hair. It was painful.”
“I told him he shouldn’t do that, but he didn’t listen. He even pulled my braid and threatened to untie my hair.”
“I was angry, so I pulled his hair. He hit me, so I hit him back!”
Lilly’s eyes showed a hint of determination. “I don’t think I did anything wrong. Daddy said we shouldn’t bully others, but we must never let them think we’re easy targets when they bully us.”
Lilly had teary eyes as she continued, “Everyone says Lilly is to blame.”
“All of you say I’m a mischievous child.”
“My uncles are worried, and my dad is concerned. They have been trying to tell the truth, but you don’t believe them.”
“Lilly wants to ask, did you witness why Lilly and Ray got into a fight? Why do you label Lilly as a mischievous child when you don’t know anything?”
Lilly’s tears fell. She bravely wiped them away, but the more she wiped, the more tears fell.
Finally, Lilly cried out loud, “Why does no one believe me when I’m telling the truth, but so many people support those who make baseless accusations? Am I at fault here?”
In the video, Lilly cried sadly. She didn’t know what she had done wrong, and she couldn’t understand why everyone called her a naughty kid.
Lilly felt unjustly accused and confused about the world.
Feeling lost, Lilly mustered the courage to find a way out.
Josh hurried over and nervously handed Lilly tissues, saying, “Don’t cry, Lilly.”
Lilly’s tears continued to flow, and she sobbed uncontrollably.
“Josh, Lilly didn’t do anything wrong!” Lilly sobbed, “If Ray bullies me again, I’ll fight back.”
Josh didn’t know what to do, so he simply held Lilly in his arms.
“Yes, Lilly didn’t do anything wrong. If Ray does it again, I’ll fight him with you!” Josh
assured her.
“We’re not at fault!” Josh said firmly.
The video ended with Josh wiping away Lilly’s tears. Then, Josh realized that he had forgotten to turn off the camera, so he rushed over to do so.
No edits were made to the video, and it ended there.
After watching the video, the viewers fell into silence.
In the video, Lilly sat in a well-behaved manner with her hands neatly placed.
Lilly’s quiet demeanor evoked sympathy from the viewers.
Lilly had said, “Why doesn’t anyone believe me when I’m telling the truth, but so many people support those who make baseless accusations? Am I the one at fault here?”
Those words deeply touched the viewers’ hearts.
However, nobody could answer Lilly’s questions.
Someone hesitated, “Maybe we misunderstood something.”
“Look at the injuries on the girl’s face. They seem much worse than the boy’s.”
“I can’t help but cry. Why is this happening? Is what we saw on the Internet earlier the truth?”
“I don’t know what happened, but I believe Lilly! The pain in her eyes can’t be fake!”
“Yes, my heart ached when Lilly cried. If what she said is true, she’s not at fault for fighting back! If I were in her shoes, I would do the same!”
However, there were harsh voices mixed in with the well-intentioned comments.
“Oh, did the girl come forward to mislead us? The children of wealthy families are cunning! How long did she cry to achieve her goal?”
“Listen carefully. Can a child ask such a profound question? Someone must have scripted it for her!”
“She’s so young, yet she already has incredible acting skills. Haha, why don’t you join the entertainment industry? Oh, right, I forgot. Her uncle is a golden boy in the film industry!”
“No wonder she can act so well! It must be fake. If she’s telling the truth, I’ll livestream myself kneeling. Brothers, screenshot my comment, hahaha…”
“Did they deliberately turn off the video after the crying to make it seem more believable?”
Ray’s grandma, who was staying in the premium hospital ward, came across Lilly’s video.
Ray’s grandma burst into laughter after watching Lilly cry.
“Haha! Keep crying, brat. Is that all you can do?”
“Weren’t you acting high and mighty yesterday?”
“Without evidence, your tears mean nothing.”
Ray’s grandma was confident that the
Crawford family couldn’t clear their names without evidence!
“It’s a shame that there’s no surveillance at the kindergarten.”
Ray’s grandma laughed happily.
…
In the Crawford Mansion, Bettany hurried over to Lilly despite being in a wheelchair.
The uncles clenched their fists, feeling heartbroken.
Lilly had calmed down and sat on the sofa, staring blankly.
“Lilly… My sweet Lilly!” Tears streamed down Bettany’s face uncontrollably.
“Granny…” Lilly was surprised. “Granny, why are you crying? Don’t cry.”
Lilly panicked and grabbed a tissue, saying, “Granny isn’t feeling well. You shouldn’t cry!”
Bettany couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. Lilly was kind-hearted. Even when
Lilly was sad, she comforted Bettany first.
This made Bettany even sadder.
“Lilly, ignore the people on the Internet. Uncle Anthony will handle this matter.” Hugh said gently.
