Chapter 105
Spoiled (Lily)
Giuliana smiled stiffly. âLilly, you canât say weâre fake. Cousins are also brothersâ¦â
Jerome echoed, âYeah, we all have the blood of the MacNeil family!â
Blake snorted coldly. âThe blood of the MacNeil family? Unfortunately, you donât deserve it!â
His eyes were cold, without any emotion.
âWhen my grandpa and my parents died, I went to South City to look for you. But what was the result?â
Blake smiled mockingly. âYou were afraid of being implicated. So, when you knew that I had arrived at the bus station, you quickly asked someone to drive me out of the city. The next day, you all moved to the coastal area overnight!â
Blake could not find them at all. When he was seven, the fear and confusion of losing his loved ones dominated his instinctive search for shelter from his relatives. It was a pity that they did not help him.
Destiny was always in constant change. Who would have thought that he survived?
Lilly did not know why the sadness in her heart slowly overflowed when she listened to Blake talking about the past indifferently.
It turns out that Daddy used to be like me. He has no relatives and parents, and others regard him as an unlucky child.
Lilly pursed her lips and hugged Blakeâs neck without saying a word. Feeling Lillyâs support, Blake was stunned.
âHmm?â Blake raised an eyebrow.
Is she comforting me? Lillyâs comfort made his heart soften and warm.
As Blake dismantled the MacNeil familyâs lie, they did not know what to say and could only smile embarrassedly. âUh⦠there must be some misunderstandingâ¦â
After hearing Blakeâs words, everyone finally figured it out. It turned out that Jerome and Erick were cousins! Knowing that Erick was exposed and killed, Jerome was afraid of danger, so he drove Blake away and moved overnight.
That was not what the MacNeil family said when they arrived in Clodston. Jerome told everyone that Erick was miserable and wished he could replace his brother. When sending the invitation to the guests, Jerome and Giuliana also emphasized the God of War was their grandson.
Their behavior caused the guests, who were unclear about the details, to think that the sacrificed Erick was Jeromeâs elder brother.
âThere is a layer of the relationship between grandchildren and grandpas between brothers, let alone great-grandpas of cousins. They belong to distant relatives.â
âThey ran so fast to avoid getting hurt, but they took the medal of honor! They hadnât looked for their grandnephew for ten years, but when they heard he became the God of Battle, they rushed to approach him again!â
âTheyâre so shameless!â
âWould they still meet with Chief MacNeil if he was only a normal guy?â
âOf course not. Didnât you see that? The Crawford family brought Little Miss here, but the MacNeil family didnât acknowledge her. They are arrogant and think only government officials are qualified to deal with them.â
Listening to everyoneâs undisguised discussions, Giuliana only felt embarrassed and aggrieved.
Jerome blushed when Blake exposed their lies. They had lost their face and did not know what to do.
Rylee reacted quickly and said, âGrandpa Jerome, Blake must be tired. Letâs go in to talk!â
He looked at Blake and smiled warmly. âBlake, what do you think?â
Giuliana quickly echoed Rylee, âYes, Blake! Letâs go in first!â
Jerome also said, âBlake, you must be tired! Come in firstâ¦â
The MacNeil family felt ashamed, so they wanted to invite Blake in.
They did not want to reveal their disgrace. No matter how embarrassed they were, others would not laugh at them anymore if they continued the conversation inside.
Unexpectedly, Blake looked at Lilly again.
âLilly, want to go in?â Blake asked.
Before Lilly could speak, Giuliana hurriedly advised, âLilly, letâs go in first, okay? Look, I prepared cakes for you! There are many toys inside. We have dolls!â
Lilly shook her head. âI donât want your cakes and toys.â
Although Lilly liked to eat cakes, she did not eat strangersâ cakes. She had vigilance.
Giuliana felt like she was about to vomit blood. Just now, Giuliana wished she could drive Lilly away.
Giuliana did not expect herself to ask Lilly to go in so soon, and Lilly refused! If she had known Lillyâs identity earlier, she should not have been so fierce to Lilly.
Blake said, âLayton, go get my grandpaâs medal of honor back.â
Layton Davenport was Blakeâs subordinate. The leaders had asked Layton to supervise Blake to prevent Blake from making trouble, but Layton failed.
Layton sighed secretly, then quickly walked in to pick up the medal of honor.
Let alone other things, Erickâs medal of honor was not suitable to put in the MacNeil family. It was dishonoring the hero!
Jerome and Giuliana never expected Blake would take Erickâs medal of honor.
They had gotten the reputation due to the merits brought by Erickâs medal of honor. What should they do if Blake took it away?
Giuliana quickly followed in.
Jerome said urgently, âBlake! Youâve gone too far!â
A man who had distorted views whispered, âYeah, Chief MacNeil is gone too far! It has been so long since his relatives refused to help him. Why does he hold grudges? He is blessed if his relatives help him, but they arenât obliged to.â
Hearing that, Lilly felt strange. Now my Long Legs Daddy only wanted to get back his things. Isnât that normal?
Blake asked arrogantly, âWhat did you say?â
He looked at that man and said coldly, âIâve never been generous, so I donât accept your view. In what capacity did they get my grandpaâs medal of honor? Itâs more reasonable to keep it!â
He only took Erickâs medal of honor and did not hit them. He had been generous enough, so others could not ask too much of him.
The man who muttered just now looked embarrassed and immediately stopped speaking.
Meanwhile, Layton came out with the medal of honor, while Giuliana followed behind. She kept trying to stop Layton and was eager to snatch it back.
Blake looked around blankly and said to the guests, âI want to make it clear today. I have nothing to do with them.â
Then, he warned Jerome and Giuliana, âFrom now on, if you dare to use my grandpaâs name to deceive others again, donât blame me for being rude!â
Lilly nodded heavily. âYes, donât blame him!â She grinned and tried to show a fierce look.
Blake smiled. He held Lilly while throwing Erickâs medal of honor onto the SUV.
Then, he gently put Lilly on the seat. âCome on, Lilly. Iâll take you home.â
Anthony, who observed calmly from the beginning to the end, suddenly returned to his senses.
Sh*t! He wants to take Lilly away!
âWait!â Anthony immediately chased after them.
The arrogant and wild SUV crashed into the crumbling iron gate of the MacNeil family, then disappeared into the night.
Anthonyâs expression darkened.
Layton was also shocked. Mr. MacNeil, Iâm not in the car yet.
