Chapter 175

The endless ding of Harvard’s phone was like music to his ears.

His video was in the top searches, and had surpassed five million views in just half an hour.

This was just the beginning!

Harvard took the chance to upload a second video:

“The Full Story: Part Two – Man Sneaks Down To River, And Someone Calls For Help Right After That… Drowned Girl Fakes Death, Real Or Supernatural?!”

The video was uploaded, attracting a slew of netizens instantly.

“I was recommended this video because of its quality! This creator is amazing, I’m subscribing!”

“That’s strange, isn’t that little girl Lilly Crawford? What does she have to do with any of this?”

“That tall man went down to the banyan tree to put the body there, I’m sure of it! Hear me out: he killed this girl, and was trying to get rid of the body…. And made it look like there was paranormal activity to distract everyone!”

“Uh, that’s kind of ridiculous. Who the hell would get rid of a body with so many people standing around? Look at all those streamers nearby. Why would he risk getting caught?”

“I don’t think he was getting rid of the body, but I’m certain he had something to do with the paranormal activity.”

The discussions got more and more heated as the traction skyrocketed. Harvard rode on Lily and Blake’s borrowed popularity, and made it past five hundred thousand subscribers with eat.

He had turned into one of the biggest creators overnight!

With these new fans, he may not get millions of videos in his future videos— but a few twenty or thirty thousand likes would be in the bag for sure. That would be enough for him already.

He uploaded the third video.

“The Full Story: Finale – Internet Superstar Lilly Crawford Has No Reaction To Cold Dead Body. Is There More To The Little Girl Who Questioned The Internet In Tears?”

“This video was even more scandalous, containing edited clips of Lilly standing by the riverbank quietly watching on. Lilly was just being a good, well-behaved little girl, but was edited to look like a heartless onlooker…”

Lilly had amassed a great amount of protective, mother-like supporters from the last time she went viral online, and they came to her defense at once upon the release of Harvard’s video.

Of course, there were also people who called her terrifying.

The virality skyrocketed even more…

“My, my, Lilly Crawford, you really are my money-maker!” Harvard was more than overwhelmed.

No one in the Crawford family was on social media then.

After all, this whole ordeal was considered to be ‘other people’s business’. The Crawfords did not see how Lilly could be related to all of this.

They were just concerned for Blake now…

The Crawford family crossed their arms, taking in the sight of the ‘high lady’ walking down the stairs…

Well. She was high for sure, considering how tall she was. It was pretty wild to look at, to be honest.

Anthony came in from outside. “The boat’s already…”

He then saw a crossdressing Blake, and had to fight the urge to laugh.

Was this really the God of Battle he knew?

Blake’s eyelid could not stop twitching. “Darling, how about I get you someone else to dress up.”

Lilly was already too far gone, holding up a few bottles of nail polish excitedly. “Sit down, Dad!”

Blake was forced onto the couch.

Lilly held the nail polish, painting all ten of his nails different colors. She even took his shoes off, and painted his toenails too.

Jerome scowled, tutting out loud. “Ridiculous.”

Was he really just giving into a child and letting her mess around with his nails just like that?

Edward said, “Yes, but… Lilly can paint his nails if she wants to!”

He did not help with the situation, merely adding to it. “Use the bright pink, Lilly!”

Lilly suddenly turned to Edward.

Edward was annoyed. Sure enough, the little demon said, “Sit down, Fifth Uncle…”

Edward remained silent.

He was regretting his initial enthusiasm now.

“I think I’m good…” Edward mumbled. “I haven’t got very nice fingers…”

Lilly fixed him with a pitiful stare, puppy eyes and all. “You should do it too, Fifth Uncle!”

Edward replied, “Alright…”

Jerome shook out the newspapers he was holding. “No principles whatsoever…”

And yet, karma came his way. Lilly finished painting Edward’s nails, and her eyes then landed on Jerome nearby.

“Which color would you like, Grandpa?”

Jerome remained silent.

He frowned. “I don’t…”

Lilly said, “Grandpa…”

Jerome said, ” …Blue.”

Little girls loved playing around like this, dressing up their dolls, styling their hair, painting their nails…

Lilly, deeply engrossed, took out the blue nail polish at once and painted it on Jerome.

Anthony backed up slowly, pretending to answer a call.

Liam suddenly remembered that Hannah needed another page of homework, and hurried upstairs.

Blake glanced over. Come on, good times were to be shared, guys!

“Lilly, I think your Uncle Anthony would look great in the bright pink. As for your Uncle Liam… hm, I think he’d look pretty good in black.”

They were just concerned for Blake now…

The Crawford family crossed their arms, taking in the sight of the ‘high lady’ walking down the stairs…

Lilly’s eyes twinkled. “Yeah, yeah! Uncle Liam, Uncle Anthony! Come on down!”

Those two were speechless.

Bettany held back her laughter, watching this group of guys failing to turn a little girl down.

What a turn of tables!

The lights had just gone up.

Three people were acting very strange around the garden’s boat-renting area.

Three men were clad in coats and hats, their hands rammed deep in their pockets as they got on a boat quietly.

Behind them was a little boy, hopping and prancing about.

Behind the little boy was a woman in a long red dress. She was covered in makeup, but looked rather strange…

Behind all of them was a girl of college age, having the time of her life taking pictures.

The three men were Blake, Anthony and Edmund. The made up lady had been called last minute, a reluctant Layton currently regretting his life choices.

Jean was practically in stitches at the sight. Despite Blake not crossdressing in the end, him and the other guys had all sported manicures. Lilly even insisted on making them wear flip flops to show off their dazzling toenails.

Said toenails were currently digging hard into their flip flops.

Jean hooked an arm around a twitching Layton, beaming. “Hey, pretty lady. Out alone tonight?”

It was a shame Layton couldn’t see her. He’d be fuming otherwise.

The boat was a small ferry. Upon entering the cabin, Blake and the rest took out their hands, and their toes stopped digging into the bottom of their flip flops.

How the hell had they walked the entire way like this?

Layton’s expression returned to normal as well. “What’s the mission today, Mr. MacNeil?”

He had only received an emergency call for him to come here for a mission.

Who would have expected for the Crawfords (specifically, Edmund and Lilly) to force him into women’s clothing…

Blake said, “Here, put this necklace on.”

This was a custom-made necklace Lilly had made to ward off evil spirits.

Layton in his crossdressing outfit was confused.

Following that, he saw the Crawfords’ brightly-colored nails.

Even their toenails were manicured.

Anthony and Edward had the same treatment. Anthony’s nails were bright pink and preppy, while Edward’s were black…

Uncle Edward stared at his nails, pretty satisfied with them. “Heh, I think they look pretty good actually.”

Layton was confused.
