She laughed. “Remember your Daddy, Lilly? Oh wait, he isn’t your daddy.”
“Your Mommy and Daddy never officially got married. There was no wedding. There was only a ‘wedding ceremony’…”
“I was the one who took your mother’s place that night in the bridal chambers! Hahaha…”
“I won! Your mother lost! I had her sent off to multiple men after that!”
“It’s a pity your mother was lucky enough to not have died at the hands of those old perverts!”
“Hahaha! You’re a bastard child, Lilly! Who knows which pervert’s child you really are?!”
The more Debbie thought about it, the more she found herself unable to accept her losses!
I was so naive!
I thought Stephen was the best choice for me because he was the wealthiest bachelor in town!
She plotted to become stronger. She defeated Jean Crawford, emerged victorious, and stopped feeling like a third wheel.
She obtained everything that Jean had failed to obtain.
It was a shocking mistake to discover that the man she had invested so much effort in was nothing more than a worthless person.
Lilly held onto Bunny more tightly.
She could barely comprehend what Debbie was saying, but she understood that her father was not actually her biological father.
My father is an old and unattractive man?
There are eight of them?
Debbie was cursing angrily. “You’re nothing but a little bastard! You’re the lowest of the low! It doesn’t matter if you’re the little princess of the Crawford family. The blood that runs through your veins still belongs to dirty trash from the lowest rungs of society!”
She held onto all that resentment within her. Every word that came out of her mouth was vicious and harsh.
Pablo frowned and with a snap of his fingers, he sealed her lips shut with a talisman!
“You have such a foul mouth,” Pablo said with disgust.
Debbie whined and whimpered now that she couldn’t curse anymore.
“Go take a shower and go to sleep, Lilly. I’ll handle her,” Pablo said.
Debbie’s resentful energy and aura were already being absorbed by the jar.
Her soul body could no longer maintain its form. She wouldn’t be able to harm anyone, but it was still better for her spirit to be extinguished.
Pablo didn’t want Lilly to be subjected to something like that.
Lilly seemed like she wanted to ask more questions, but decided against it. She obeyed and said, “Okay, Master.”
She ran into the room with Bunny in her arms, grabbed a set of pajamas, and went to the bathroom.
Pablo turned to Debbie. “I’m curious. How did you die?”
“You said Stephen did it, so how did he die?”
He stroked his chin with great interest as he observed her.
She stubbornly turned away.
He raised an eyebrow. “Hah, still being stubborn, are you?”
He waved a finger and extinguished half of her soul.
Debbie let out a muffled grunt of pain.
“I was just curious. I don’t really need to know. If you won’t tell me, I’ll just send you on your way.”
“…”
She didn’t really have a choice but to speak now, but that required him to remove the talisman!
It was only then that he realized his mistake. “Oh, I forgot the talisman was still on you.”
Fatigue and hopelessness washed over her.
Debbie no longer had the energy to fight back after the talisman was removed. She simply lay there like a fish on a chopping block.
“Stephen kicked me to death…”
It happened during Lilly’s birthday party. They had gone through the trouble of visiting the Crawford family from the South City countryside.
Anthony had mercilessly sent them off in a police car.
Stephen was screaming at her for getting in his way in the vehicle and had repeatedly kicked her head in his frenzy.
“The police car is a prison car specially designed to escort prisoners. There were seats on both sides of the car, surrounded by iron railings. Those railings are locked… Do you understand?”
His kicks were so ruthless that they sent her crashing against the iron railings head-first.
That was when her head made contact with the padlock.
The lock pierced right through her skull and ruptured her cranial arteries. That’s how she died.
“If I hadn’t died there, I would’ve just been locked up for a few days before being released for spreading rumors. I could’ve gotten plastic surgery once I was let go…”
Jonas Crawford, the golden boy of film, was going to be her target.
Once she changed her identity, her beautiful appearance would’ve allowed her to debut early. The early bird gets the worm, after all.
If that didn’t work out, she could always apply for a job as a nanny for the Crawfords. She could do anything to get close to Lilly…
She knew Lilly well enough to handle her without breaking a sweat.
Children were easily influenced.
Getting Lilly on her side, getting into the house, and finding a way to climb into Jonas’s bed… She could have become a member of the Crawford family!
Her plans were all cut short because she died!
Pablo chuckled and asked, “So, how did Stephen die?”
Debbie flashed a cold grin. “What do you think? I’m a resentful spirit who can scare people to death.”
Stephen had already been living a miserable life in prison.
The Crawfords had bribed the prison to “take care of him”. He was viciously oppressed. His only source of drinking water was the toilet. His meals were always leftovers that had been spat into.
She appeared before him several times to scare him into incontinence.
In the end, he took a brick and smashed his own head with it.
Pablo nodded. Lilly should be almost done by now. “Are you finished? You have no reason to stay anymore.”
Debbie began to protest. “Wait, I already told you everything I know. Why aren’t you letting me go?!”
He raised an eyebrow. “Oh, did I ever say I was going to let you go?”
Without waiting for her reply, he snapped his fingers and watched as she ceased to exist. The world would no longer suffer from a woman named Debbie Monroe.
The ghost baby continued to scramble about in a daze. Lilly rejoined them in the room wearing her cherry-print pajamas after her shower. “Hey, where’s stepmother?”
