Filed To Story: A Little Princess's Journey from Darkness to Light Novel
Everyone became very excited when they saw Anthony reaching into the car as if he was about to help someone out, thinking they would finally meet his elusive wife.
All they saw was a little girl in a pink dress hopping out of the car.
Anthony steadily caught her. He walked toward the venue in long strides, holding the little girl in one arm and straightening his tie with the other hand.
Everyone was in a state of shock.
The little girl in Anthony’s arms wore her hair in two messy braids. She was dressed casually and carried a small fabric satchel…
That… That was like a square peg in a round hole!
Nonetheless, it was undeniably adorable!
The stern CEO, who was thought to have skinned all the senior executives alive during meetings, was now coddling and cuddling a cute little fluffball!
All of the reporters’ cameras were trained on Anthony and Lilly.
“Look here, little cutie!”
“Wow! The little princess is absolutely stunning!”
Lilly glanced over and made a peace sign for the camera.
Her brows curved as she grinned. She was so adorable that the reporters couldn’t help but be blown away!
Anthony hesitated for a moment before stopping in his tracks.
A bigshot CEO with a killer reputation was carrying a cute little girl and standing on the red carpet to let others photograph them.
Anthony was fearless in all situations. Jean had previously been kept hidden by the Crawford family, and she had never experienced the thriving world, even when she died. Even the world didn’t know she…
Lilly now deserved to be known to the entire world because she was the Crawford family’s favorite little princess!
Cheryl and her family, who had been left in the cold, felt awkward.
Cheryl was overjoyed at first, but her joy quickly faded when she noticed Anthony hugging Lilly and that everyone’s attention was focused on her.
Initially, everyone was taking pictures of her!
However, as soon as Lilly entered the picture, she took over all the spotlights.
Cheryl looked at Lilly’s messy hair and unremarkable outfit, which were incomparable to her. Why did everyone still think she was adorable? Was it simply because she had a powerful uncle?
Cheryl bit her lower lip and gave them a surprised look as she approached.
She wore a smile all over her face and remarked, “Ah, Lilly! Why does your hair look so bad? Did you tie it yourself? Why don’t I tie it for you?”
“At the age of three, I could tie my own hair! Take a look at my hair today! Isn’t it stunning? I did it all by myself!”
Everyone couldn’t help looking at Cheryl’s hair…
She wore her hair in a bun and adorned it with a slew of shiny crystal butterfly hair clips.
She was just a kid; even adults couldn’t do this hairstyle on their own. She couldn’t have done her hair all by herself, could she?
Cheryl was overjoyed when she noticed that everyone’s attention was once again focused on her.
Lilly touched her braided pigtails and pouted angrily.
Lilly knew Anthony had put much effort into tying her hair up prettily.
Cheryl’s insult to her hairstyle was equivalent to insulting her uncle Anthony!
“Your hair’s messier!” Lilly angrily refuted.
Cheryl felt satisfied after seeing Lilly getting flustered, but little did she know that Lilly’s hair was done by Anthony.
In Cheryl’s eyes, Lilly’s unkempt hair could only be done by herself instead of an adult.
Cheryl replied, “It’s true! Who did your hair? Come on down. I’ll help you out!”
Tina smiled and added, “Your hair is messy, Lilly! Why don’t you let us redo your hairstyle into a prettier one?”
Thomas chuckled along.
Kids were no big deal; they simply wanted to seize this opportunity to appease the Crawford family.
However, their smiles froze immediately when they heard Anthony say, “I was the one who did Lilly’s hair.”
Anthony Crawford styling a child’s hair…? Impossible!
Tina hurriedly said, “Oh… I’m sorry, we didn’t mean that… Cheryl was just used to helping out other kids, so…”
Anthony ignored her as he walked into the venue with Lilly.
Once they arrived at the venue, Anthony asked, “Who invited the Miller family?”
He clearly remembered that the Miller family was excluded from the guest list!
Panicked, the staff responded, “Only those invited can enter… Let me check with them…”
Anthony coldly replied, “Just kick them out.”
The staff nodded. “Yes, sir…”
The moment the Miller family walked into the venue, they were halted by the staff members.
“May I see your invitation card?”
Thomas took out the Shaw family’s invitation card and explained, “We are here on behalf of Mr. Shaw as instructed by Old Mrs. Shaw.”
The Miller family was being haughty even though they secretly picked the invitation up after Old Mrs. Shaw was sent back to her hometown.
The staff was taken aback as the invitation turned out to be valid…
While the staff was distracted, Thomas quickly brought Tina and Cheryl into the venue!
Since they had already arrived, they might as well have joined the event!
Meanwhile, backstage, a staff member was guiding a practitioner and his disciple into the event.
“Master Sullivan, thank you for joining us today! Please follow me!”
Master Sullivan nodded as he looked around the venue. “Impressive. The venue is decorated beautifully and faces the rising sun’s direction, and indeed an auspicious location.”
The staff laughed along. “It’s all thanks to your guidance, Master Sullivan.”
Sable added, “My master also has prepared a great deal for the ceremony.”
The staff chuckled after the comment.
Master Sullivan looked around one last time before saying, “Everything looks fine to me, but move the ceremonial ball to the east to correspond to today’s lucky time. Remember to also get a new pair of scissors for the ceremony. Bring a red string, a piece of yellow paper, and some incense candles.”
The staff immediately rushed to prepare, in which Master Sullivan was delighted to see his enthusiastic response.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was really simple to the point where Master Sullivan could relax. Nothing could go wrong under his guidance.
As Anthony carried Lilly into the venue, she saw the giant ceremonial ball move slightly to the side.
Lilly exclaimed, “Uncle Anthony, why are they moving the ball? I feel weird looking at it now!”
Anthony glanced at the stage. Indeed, the stage looked asymmetrical after the ceremonial ball was moved.
