Looking at the SUV going away arrogantly, the MacNeil family was regretful and felt like vomiting blood.
The MacNeil family had nothing left! If they had known Lilly was Blake's daughter, they would have welcomed Lilly! They could not help but blame Blake as he was ruthless to them, even if they were his relatives. Not only did he take away the medal of honor, but he also said harsh words. Who else would respect them in the future? He intended to force them to disaster! Sure enough, when the people around saw Blake driving away, they also left. They even took away the birthday gifts. If it were someone else, the guests would not do that, but that person was Giuliana.
Giuliana was so angry that she anxiously stopped them. “You... you guys! How can you take back the gifts? Don’t leave!” The MacNeil family was desperate. They looked down on others just now. Now they had no choice but to explain politely to the guests. However, the guests did not appreciate it.
“Let's go! Bah! What bad luck!” “They are all liars! Luckily we discovered the truth!” “They're so shameless!” “Hahaha! So shameless!” In less than a moment, everyone was gone.
Meanwhile, Colton arrived after he finished the work and reports. He got out of the car and glanced around.
“Let's go.” Colton stepped forward and covered Melody with a coat.
An army coat with Colton’s temperature draped over her body. Melody pursed her lips and turned her face away.
Ivan’s face was stern, and he still stared in the direction where Blake and Lilly were leaving.
The MacNeil family seemed to see lifesaving water. They hurried up to block Colton and Melody. “Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw... please stay!” “Mr. Shaw, you and Blake are comrades, right? Please tell Blake it was a misunderstanding!” “We didn’t expect...” Colton’s expression was cold, and his eyes were stern. “Do you know the consequences of offending the military department?” Hearing that, the MacNeil family dared not to speak anymore.

Shame on you all!” Colton was stunned.
The MacNeil family was in confusion as they did not even say anything.
Soon, the Shaw family also drove away.
Giuliana looked at the mess on the floor and recalled the scene where she had received the gifts. There were so many priceless things, and they were gone! She felt heartache.
Jerome even felt distressed to see the antiques shattered to pieces.
They thought the birthday banquet was the beginning of their prosperity. Unexpectedly, they did not earn a penny and lost hundreds of millions as all the antiques had broken. They all fell into despair.
After Lilly sat in the car, she forgot about Anthony because she kept looking back at the back seat. She wondered why Blake had those stuff in his car.
Blake drove the car while calling Layton.
“Layton, take Lilly's uncle back.” He paused and added, “Tell him we'll return tomorrow.” Layton, who received the call, would have preferred Blake to speak to Anthony.
Layton glanced at Anthony beside him. Anthony stared at the phone screen for a long time as if thinking about making a phone call.
Blake explained, “I just wanted to take Lilly home sooner.” Lilly was the daughter of the Crawford family and also Blake's daughter.
He wanted to take her to the gravestones of her grandfather and parents, then told them to rest assured.
He had a family now. He had a child and would never be alone for the rest of his life, and he also had concerns.
If he went through the process of the Crawford family, he must at least pass the test first. In short, it would take several days. So he could only take Lilly away without prior notice.
Blake looked slightly relaxed. He looked at Lilly beside him and reminded her, “Sit well.” Upon hearing that, Layton asked anxiously, “Mr. MacNeil, did you let Little Miss sit in the passenger seat?” “Yes.” Lilly could only sit in the passenger seat. After all, he did not have a child seat in the car. If she sat in the back seat, he would become uneasy when he could not see her. Besides, someone died in the back seat before. So he would not let his lovely daughter sit in the back.
Layton’s mouth twitched. It means | must be ready to pay the fine anytime! After hanging up the phone, Layton took a deep breath, smiled, and said to Anthony, “I'm sorry, Mr. Anthony. Although Mr.
MacNeil often does things out of common sense, he never does things out of proportion.” Otherwise, such a rebellious person would not be willing to fight for the country.
“Mr. MacNeil said he'll bring Little Miss home tomorrow. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to Little Miss.” Even if Blake lost his life, he would not let anyone hurt Lilly.
Anthony snorted coldly. He got into the car and left gloomily.
Charlie asked Anthony in doubt, “Uh, Mr. Anthony, are you going back?” Anthony pressed his brows. He knew he would get scolded by Hugh and Bettany if he returned without bringing Lilly home.

The black SUV passed through the city and drove into a quaint Victorian villa.
The villa imitated the architectural style of the old era, with blue-gray brick walls and tile roofs. Most of the beams, doors, and windows were natural-colored, which looked elegant. It looked graceful, rigorous, beautiful, and different from Blake's temperament.
Blake left the car, opened the passenger's door, and picked Lilly up. He also picked up Erick’s medal of honor.
Lilly lay on Blake’s shoulder and looked at the looming white shadow that followed them. A female ghost held her head. Her red nails were long, and her eyes moved blankly. She stared straight at Lilly.
Lilly was not afraid, but Pablo was not there, so she could not recognize the type of that ghost in front of her.
“Mr. MacNeil!” When they entered the door, a man in a dark gray suit bowed and greeted them.
Blake handed the medal of honor to the man. “Hang it up at the main hall.” “Yes, Sir.” The man in the gray suit responded and went in with the medal of honor.
On the way, Lilly saw many people in gray suits on duty at night.
Lilly's eyes widened as if she had stepped into a TV show. Blake was like a president, and those who wore gray suits were like bodyguards.
Seeing Lilly's puzzled eyes, Blake rubbed her little head.
“This is our home,” Blake said, “Lilly, we're home.”
