Chapter 298
Spoiled (Lily)
Chapter 298 Will Claire Inherit the Property?
Lilly defeated the foolish ghost casily.
She was so happy and asked excitedly. âJosh, am I awesome? Iâm so strong, right?â
Josh was so shocked that he was dumbfounded.
She was not just powerful⦠She was incredibly powerfulâ¦
How did his sister improve so much?
She had only learned how to use the spirit compass and now she was able to use the purple sledgehammer.
Josh replied in a daze. âYouâre so strong⦠Incredibly strong!â
His sister was so amazing, his admiration for her was getting more intense.
Lilly was overjoyed.
âDaddy, I defeated the foolish ghost!â Lilly exclaimed to Blake.
Blake caressed Lillyâs head and praised without hesitation, âYouâre the best, Lilly!â
It was a pity that she could not see her defeat the ghost.
A trace of complexity flashed across his eyes.
Blake checked the time again and it was already six oâclock.
The sky was bright and he could vaguely hear the old couple greeting each other.
He said, âItâs time to go back. If your grandma finds out that youâre missing, sheâs gonna kill me,â
Lilly put the four ghosts into the jar of souls and stretched her body. She said with a childish voice, âOkay,â
It was hard to believe that Lilly was the one who defeated the evil ghost with a purple sledgehammer!
Claire was still arguing with her husband in the kitchen.
The two kept their voices down. While Claire was complaining, her husband was sneering, and neither of them was solving the problem.
Lilly sighed, shook her head, and said, âMiss Claire, weâre heading home now!â
Only then did Claire remember that she was boiling water, and quickly said, âAh, youâre going back?
Let me make some tea for you,â
Lilly waved her hands and dissipated the bad aura from her body.
After thinking about it, she said, âMiss Claire, you shouldnât regret the decisions youâve made in life!
Donât get confused or youâll be targeted by ghosts!â
After speaking, she turned to Claireâs husband, âSir, my Grandma said that someone who knows how to blame people instead of doing something to help is useless!â
Lilly finished speaking, waved goodbye, and left with her father.
Claire and his wife froze.
Claireâs husband sat on the sofa in silence. After a long pause, he finally said, âI think you should set boundaries with your parents and your brother,â
âYou paid for your brotherâs house,â
âYou paid for your fatherâs medical bills and your father wants you to buy a burial plot. Do you think youâre gonna be supporting your family financially for the rest of your life?â
Claire but her lips. âNo, I swear this will be the last time I spend money on my dadâ¦â
Her husband sneered, âOh really? What if your mom fell sick and your brother has no money? Would you pay for it? Or, what if your brother has a baby and there was an accident, and asks you for money?
Would you lend them your money?â
Claire choked, she was speechless.
Her husband continued, âI didnât want to interfere with your familyâs affairs because theyâre too annoying. But I think Lilly had a point, I was wrong as well,â
âHowever, you need to take advantage of this time to set a boundary. The plot is 250,000 dollars, right?
Weâll only pay 150,000 dollars. This is my suggestion, and if you donât take my advice, letâs divorce. Iâll take Lola with me too,â
Claire panicked.
Seeing that she was crying, Claireâs husband turned around and said gently, âItâs not that I want you to cut, ties with your parents or neglect them. Do you think itâs worth it to sacrifice so much for them? I just want you to understand your responsibilities and set a boundary with them,â
Claire was silent for a long time and was about to speak.
At this time, the door opened. Ken came out yawning, and asked, âClaire, have you made breakfast?â
He was so angry with his sister last night that he did not eat yesterday. He was hungry now.
âHow strange, why are you here?â Ken remembered his brotherâinâlaw persuading her sister not to pay the burial plot and asked sarcastically.
After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at him and went into the kitchen to look for food. He frowned and said, âHavenât you made breakfast yet, Claire? Iâm so hungry, can you buy me some food downstairs? I wantâ¦â
for Claireâs husband sneered, âGo buy it yourself, youâre not a little kid anymore. Stop being a brat and donât pester your sister anymore,â
Ken was unhappy.
Itâs none of his business.
He hated his brotherâinâlaw the most. He was mean and indifferent, spoke harshly, and interfered with everything, even his sisterâs money.
Ken looked down on him as he thought he could be arrogant because he could earn a living.
He thought that wealthy people were snobbish and his sister was being manipulated by her husband.
âCan you not interrupt me when Iâm talking to my sister? Sheâs like a mom to me, whatâs wrong with me being coquettish with her?â
As soon as he finished his sentence, Claireâs mother came out of her room. She saw Claire and her husband. She then said, âOh, Samâs here, have you eaten?â
Usually, Claire would come back from buying groceries at this time. However, the atmosphere seemed to be a little off.
The old man was targeted by the evil spirit and almost lost his breath. He turned over and coughed.
violently.
Claire heard him coughing and wanted to get him water.
Ken held a glass of water and said, âAllow me,â
The coughing did not stop for a while, and the old lady followed in and helped the old man up.
âSamâs here? Itâs so early though, whatâs the matter?â
Sam spoke bluntly, âMom and Dad, I came here today to make things clear, donât blame me for being straightforwardâ¦â
He paused for a moment, then suddenly asked. âWill this house belong to Claire in the future?â
Everyone was stunned.
This topic was confusing.
But the old man felt uncomfortable. He was alright with it if Claire did not want to buy his burial plot in Greenhill Cemetery. But now, he was asking if Claire would get the house after he died.
He hesitated and said, âYour mother and I bought this house together⦠Claireâs married to you anyway and I donât think both of you need this houseâ¦â
Claire was stunned.
Although she never thought of getting her parentsâ house if they diedâ¦. they never thought about herâ¦
She looked at her mother.
The old lady did not have time to think about it too much, so she stammered, âClaire, weâre not saying that we wonât be giving this house to you. Itâs just that your brother doesnât have any savings⦠You and Sam are capable enough to afford your own houses⦠So, weâre giving it to your brother. I know that you must feel wronged⦠But your brother isnât married yet and what if he wants kids in the future.
Claire was dumbfounded.
Although she did not think of inheriting the house, that answer sent a chill down her spine. She did not know that this was just the beginningâ¦.
