Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

After Bettany understood what Lisa was trying to say, she immediately turned her gaze to Josh.

Josh angrily exclaimed, “Grandma, don’t hit me with your bare hands!” Bettany was speechless.

When did she even mention hitting someone? She glared at Josh and asked, a bit flustered, “Normally, | always tell you not to use foul language! Just think, what kind of person does that make you?” “Lilly never used to curse, but now she’s doing it because of your influence. How ladylike do you think she appears now?” “Next time | hear those words from you, I'll make sure you lose your front teeth!” Bettany said sternly.

Josh lowered his head, “Grandma, I'm sorry!” Lilly quickly bowed her head and said, “Grandma, I'm sorry!” Bettany’s heart immediately softened.

Oh well... She's just so adorable. What's the harm in a few foul words...

Alright, she can say it! Even though she secretly relented, the old lady maintained a stern expression and turned her attention back to teaching Lisa.

With someone in the family who would obediently listen to her, endure her nagging, and not talk back, everyone suddenly felt a sense of relief and their burdens seemed to lighten.

At that moment, Jack hurriedly entered the room.

“Sir, there are several police officers and three individuals claiming to be from the McCarthy family outside...” Anthony's face turned icy, and he responded coldly, “Let them in,” The gates of the Crawford Mansion swung open.

The police officers occasionally cast glances at Veronica and Steward, while a man of similar age to Steward stood beside them.

He had a goatee and a serious expression on his face.

Veronica had a hat on and wore a mask, and she had a limp on one of her legs.

If she were to speak at that moment, others would notice that she was missing her front teeth and molars.

Steward wasn't faring much better either. He had a bald head and was also missing all of his teeth. Veronica still had a few teeth left, but he had lost all of his.

Veronica limped with her left leg, while Steward limped with his right leg.

Furthermore, Veronica's right ring finger was missing, and Steward’s left ring finger was also missing.

Veronica whispered, “Second Elder, can we go in...” The second elder of the McCarthy family, who possessed healthy limbs and believed himself to be mysterious, uttered in a low voice, “Be quiet!” The Crawford family allowed the McCarthy family to enter as they please, so why were they not allowed? Lisa fell silent, feeling a deep hatred within her. She felt as if she had experienced a deathly ordeal in the desolate mountains, where malevolent spirits excelled at tormenting people.

If only she could make them endure all the methods of death she had experienced. Even now, Lisa still felt a throbbing pain in her head, discomfort in her internal organs, and blood seeping from her seven orifices...

Having narrowly escaped death, when she returned and looked in the mirror, she beheld her missing front teeth and molars, and baldness in the center of her head.

With a twisted grin, she appeared quite unattractive.

She would have preferred if they had pulled out all her teeth! Or even plucked out all her hair! But they insisted, claiming that this appearance suited her well.

Arthat moment, Jack ushered in a police officer. The second elder of the McCarthy family maintained his silence but openly regarded the police officer as his ally, following closely behind him.

Veronica admired the Second Elder from the depths of her heart. He truly had a way with things.

Unbeknownst to the Crawford family, they were unaware that the McCarthy family members had arrived separately from the police officer. They assumed that they were all together and welcomed them inside.

However, as they entered the premises, Veronica suddenly caught sight of a very familiar face among the guards.

An elderly man with a prominent mustache was leering at her.

Veronica thought to herself... Isn't that the blind watchdog at the elementary school gate? She clenched her teeth.

Alright, it was fine to come to the Crawford family. Once she became the head of the family, she would have the opportunity to deal with him in due time! “Please have a seat,” Anthony greeted the officers at the entrance of the main building and led them inside. “We received a report alleging that someone from your Crawford family was involved in a murder,” the police officer stated with a grave expression. “Where were all of you at 5 o'clock this morning?” Josh, Drake, and Lilly felt a jolt in their hearts.

Joshwen finally realized the reason. It wasn't their uncle’s memorial day today...

It was their anniversary...

Now he understood why his uncle suddenly wanted to visit the grave and asked for time off...

Neither Hannah nor Zachary needed to go; it was just him, his brother, and Lilly.

And they were all waiting here! Bettany wore a puzzled expression and spoke, “At five in the morning? We were all at home, and no one would be awake at that hour,” The police officer furrowed his brows and replied, “Some individuals reported seeing someone dragging a lifeless body into the Crawford Mansion!” Bettany was taken aback and exclaimed, “What? Who dragged a corpse? What corpse?” The police officer was left bewildered by her reaction. It seemed that she was genuinely unaware of the situation...

The two police officers scrutinized the elderly woman standing before them and cautioned, “You better be honest and not help the murderer in covering up the crime. This makes you an accomplice! Do you understand what being an accomplice means?” Hugh's face darkened as he interjected, “Nonsense! Don't frighten my wife. We do not know any accomplices or corpses!” He couldn't comprehend why they were intimidating his wife so harshly. She was frail and delicate, she could not even carry heavy objects or perform strenuous tasks. There was no reason to frighten her with such severity.

Furthermore, the entire family was fast asleep at five o'clock in the morning. Who would venture outside at that hour? Seeing their denial, the police officer showed a few photographs.

The police officer presented the family with several surveillance screenshots. “This is a screenshot from Cherrygrove Road. This is a screenshot from Lumiose Road. And this is a screenshot taken on Phoenix Road in front of the Crawford Mansion!” In the photos, @a man was seen riding a motorcycle with two dogs perched on the back. Attached to the motorcycle was a “corpse” that appeared to be rigid and slightly arched.

The police officer reprimanded, “The corpse is stiff! You can’t simply make excuses!” Hugh grew increasingly agitated. “Don’t yell! Stop bothering my wife!” The police officer was speechless.

Damn it, is it time to show your affection? You're the murderers! This is a serious situation! Veronica stood on the sidelines, her head lowered as she sneered. The brim of her hat concealed half of her face, making it challenging to discern her expression.

She took pleasure in their predicament, feeling a twisted sense of satisfaction and excitement.

Her elder sister must have entered Crawford Mansion, she just took a quick look around but didn’t see it, it must be Crawford Mansion that hid her.

Veronica could not help feeling uncomfortable with how fiercely the Crawford family defended her sister. However, she could not deny the thrill she experienced as well.

What the Crawford family didn’t know was that, as descendants of the family of witches, each member had parasites implanted within their bodies.

Her sister did not die when she entered the Crawford Mansion.

But there was a catch. Who knew if she would survive or not? Both the first elder and the second elder had the power to control the parasites and could easily end Lisa's life at any moment.

Once her sister died, the Crawford family would be held accountable for murder! If they wanted to avoid being involved in this crime, they would have to comply and negotiate terms with them obediently.
