Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Yena gently placed the small cake in front of Bettany, feeling assured that everything would go smoothly as long as she threw the
glass ball, just as her ghost mother had promised.
Her confidence soared.
“Grandma!” Yena held up the cake with obedience. “I noticed that you seem troubled. Have some cake!”
Bettany glanced at the cake with disgust in her eyes. “Take it away! I don’t like sweets!”
Yena pouted, adopting a childlike demeanor. “Grandma, please don’t reject Yena. My mother told me that eating sweet things
can make you feel better when you’re in a bad mood. Can you tell Yena why you’re unhappy? I’ll do my best to cheer you up!”
Bettany’s irritation escalated. “I get nauseous when I eat sweets. Take it away!”
Who knows she ate peanut butter-filled donuts for three months...
Undeterred, Yena reminded herself not to give up. Her ghost mother had assured her that everything would work out. The evil
spirits would focus on Lilly and spare the others, according to her ghost mother. Perhaps Lilly had already been torn apart by the
malignant spirits!
It did not matter if Mrs. Crawford did not want to see her now. Once everyone realized that they had been enchanted by Lilly,
they would surely be grateful to Yena.
“Grandma...”
Bettany initially did not want to be harsh to a child and ruin her image.
However, she did not expect Yena to be so persistent.
Bettany stood up, her gaze fierce. “Go away, can’t you understand me? Why are you calling me grandma? What connection do
we have?”
Mabel was startled by Bettany’s cold outburst. She had been disoriented by the previous encounter with the ghost, but now she
was fully alert.
Mabel quickly interjected, “Ah, Mrs. Crawford, why are you so angry! Mr. MacNeil and I are cousins, we’re relatives...”

“Yena is just a child, please don’t be upset with her!”
Lisa, wearing a blank expression, approached Yena.
With a swift motion, she reached out and forcibly escorted Yena out.
Yena, frightened by Lisa’s actions wanted to escape. Little did she know that Lisa was quite adept at handling such situations,
swiftly maneuvering past her and kicking her outside.
Mabel exclaimed, “You...”
Lisa turned around and repeated the same action, swiftly removing Mabel from the premises as well.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Both mother and daughter landed on the lawn outside, drawing the attention of onlookers.
Mabel, holding her legs, appeared tearful and pitiful. “Mrs. Crawford, I’m sorry, it’s our fault... Yena thought you were unhappy, so
I wanted to give you a cake. We didn’t know you disliked sweets...”
Yena choked back her tears. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Crawford. It’s all my fault!”
These two of them seemed to have forgotten about Bettany’s fierce reputation.
The crowd looked on, puzzled by the situation.
However, if someone offered a cake to Bettany, and she responded by kicking them out because she didn’t like sweets...
That seemed very inappropriate.
Bettany was troubled by her concerns for Lilly and was called by Anthony, she appeared upset.
She could not vent her anger.
Suppressing her frustration, Bettany cast a glance at Mabel.

“What are you talking about? Are you saying that I’m arguing with a child over a piece of cake? Are trying to make me look
unreasonable? I’m so old, why would I argue with a child?” Bettany retorted sharply.
Mabel tried to respond, “No, I didn’t mean that...”
Bettany nodded sarcastically, “Oh, it must be true then. After all, you tried to kill Shane’s ex-wife, right? What good does it do you
to slander an old lady?”
Mabel was at a loss for words.
The onlookers stared at Mabel with curious expressions.
So, it’s her!
The most unsuccessful mistress in the world!
She had spent her entire life trying to push Shane’s ex-wife away but ended up living a restricted life within the Hatcher family.
She even had to mortgage her own bracelet to buy another one. She frequently took her daughter to various afternoon tea
parties, both of them acting as if they were of high status, even surpassing the Hatcher family.
Bettany continued, “I heard that Shane has ordered you to give birth to a son this year. You’re truly miserable. You can’t even
raise your daughter properly and you can’t give birth to a boy. Unlike my daughter-in-law who bore two sons!”
Mabel could not find a response to this statement.
Bettany went on, “I know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid that Shane won’t want to see you, so you’re constantly trying to curry
favor with our family, right? I’ve already told you that when Blake was homeless when he was seven years old. He was searching
for you, but your family had already moved out. Our families are no longer related, and you have no connection to the Crawford
family. What’s wrong with your brain? Why did you reach out to the Crawford family?”
Mabel blushed and murmured, “I didn’t know about Blake looking for us back then...”
Bettany looked surprised. “You didn’t know? However, you once mentioned that you had a good relationship with Blake and that
you went to school together.”
Mabel remained silent.

Enough was enough...
Yena cautiously stood up, wearing a weak and pitiful expression. “Mrs. Crawford, please stop. It’s all my fault. I didn’t know you
didn’t eat sweets...”
Her eyes were red, and she nervously clenched her fingers, looking utterly lost.
Bettany’s face remained expressionless. “It’s not that I don’t want to eat the cake, but it depends on who brings it to me. What if I
ate it and you called me Grandma from that on?”
Laughter filled the surroundings as people understood the situation about Mabel and her daughter’s intentions to cling to the
Crawford family through their distant relationship with Blake.
“It’s truly unbelievable. A mistress will always be a mistress, no matter what she does. She’s just an embarrassment to
everyone!”
“Iems like her daughter has learned the same thing from a young age. It’s of no use. I wouldn’t even dare to eat the cake if it was
offered to me!”
Yena clenched her teeth in frustration. What kind of grudge did this old woman hold against her? Why did she always dislike her
so much?
Did they have to wait for Lilly to die so they’ll be aware of the situation?
Just then, a garbage truck pulled up, and Arthur jumped out of the vehicle. He swiftly grabbed Yena and Mabel and escorted
them out.
The truck’s owner said, “Take these two pieces of garbage off the island.”
It had to be done!
