The Princess to Eight Uncles (Lily And Mr. Crawford) Chapter 28

However, Zachary could not help laughing.

Lily was mad. “Don’t laugh!” she berated and stared at Zachary angrily.

Gilbert covered his mouth and coughed slightly. However, he could not hide the smile in his eyes.

Although everyone was worried about Lily, they still thought it was funny.

Only Bettany was anxious. “Stop laughing! Hurry up and help Lily out!”

Immediately, Liam said, “I’m calling 911 now!”

Hearing that, Lily was stunned. She refused at once. “No! Don’t call 911, Uncle Liam!”

Firefighters were Lily’s idol. When she was young, she saw them putting out a fire in South City. From that moment, firefighters were her heroes who could save the world.

For that reason, how could she let her idols see her like this?

However, Bettany did know what was on Lily’s mind. “Lily, it’s dangerous. Let firefighters help you to get out, okay?”

“No, Granny! I-I can come out. Wait a minute…” Lily resisted stubbornly.

With that, Lily took a deep breath and tried to squeeze her head out. However, she knocked on her head. It was painful.

Pablo was speechless. He could not help covering his face.

“Come on, don’t do that. You look stupid,” he said. “Try breaking the iron railings.”

Hearing that, Lily was stunned.

What? Break the iron railings? How is that possible?

Leaning against the railings, Pablo stared a Lily and said, “Come on! Try it for yourself! Why do you think I gave you the red bracelet?”

Hearing that, Lily looked at the red bracelet on her wrist.

Behind her, Winona stood at the door and glared at Lily.

How did she get herself stuck there? What a stupid girl!

Winona seemed unhappy when all family members were worried about Lily. Everybody was trying to help Lily out. Some came with a ladder. Some even got ready cushions on the ground floor.

Why are they so nervous? The garden lawn is so thick. She won’t die falling from the second floor!

Winona suddenly felt that the Crawford family was biased. They only cared for Lily. It was unfair to Hannah.

A huge air cushion was set up in the garden. Anthony and Bryson looked serious.

Bryson said, ”Children’s heads are bigger than their bodies generally. If their heads can get through, their bodies can get through too. Lily only needs to twist her body a bit to get out.”

“But it’s too risky. What if she falls down?” asked Anthony with concern.

Jonas pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled. “The air cushion is so thick. She won’t die falling from the second floor.”

Hearing that, everybody glared at him.

Jonas threw his hands up even though what he said was right.

Anthony and the rest had no choice but to tell Bettany their plan. Nonetheless, they were worried that Bettany could not accept it.

Bettany asked worriedly, “What if Lily fell and knocked her head? What if she sprained her neck? What if she hurt her eyes?”

Hearing that, Bryson had no choice but to comfort her. “Mom, don’t worry. Edward is bringing the pliers.”

Everyone was so worried that no one saw Lily bend the iron railings with her two small bare hands.

The red bracelet on her wrist emitted a dim light. Suddenly, the railings bent just like that.

Lily tilted her head and got out easily.

“I got out!”

Seeing that, everybody was shocked.

They did not see how Lily got out. Even Bettany who was holding Lily’s arm did not notice it.

Seeing the bent railings, everybody was amazed.

However, Anthony remained calm. He stood in front of Lily, blocking the bent railings behind him.

“Lily, go down and have breakfast with Granny!”

The others also quickly stood in front of the bent railings, blocking them unintentionally.

Winona was confused.

How did Lily come out? What are they hiding behind their backs? Are they blaming me for what happened to Lily now?

Thinking of that, Winona pursed her lips and went downstairs. She somehow felt isolated.

Gilbert asked, “Lily, you bent these?”

“Yes!” Lily nodded and blinked her eyes.

Hearing that, Gilbert suddenly recalled when Lily smacked Debbie away in Hatcher Mansion’s backyard previously. He did not pay much attention last time. He thought he was the one who kicked Debbie, but…

Gilbert exchanged glances with the rest. His face darkened.

Hugh squinted his eyes and said, “No one is allowed to say what you see today. Lily, don’t do that again, okay?”

Lily nodded obediently. However, she felt confused.

Why are they so nervous? Isn’t it great that I’m strong and powerful? I can help them!

Anthony asked in a low voice, “Where is Edward?”

Right then, Edward came in with a big plier. “Lily, don’t be afraid. Uncle Edward is coming to save you!”

“Uncle Edward, I’m here! I got out!” Lily looked up and replied.

Edward was stunned.

Gilbert quickly whispered in Edward’s ear, “Get rid of that bent iron railings over there!”

After that, he told Edward what happened just now.

Edward was shocked when he saw the bent iron railings.

“Lily, you’re so strong! How about working for me at the construction site?”

“Really? I want to go!” Lily was excited.

Hearing that, everyone was speechless.

After breakfast, Lily wanted to follow Liam and Edward to the construction site.

Everyone thought Lily was joking just now. However, it seemed that she meant it.

Gilbert had no choice but to explain, “Lily, it’s very dangerous at the construction site. Furthermore, unauthorized employees are not allowed to enter.”

“But I’m not an employee! Please, let me go with you!”

Hearing that, everyone could not help but laugh.

However, Lily was still a child. Even though she might seem to know a lot, she was still a kid.

Edward could not bear to see Lily keep begging. He picked her up and ran, “Let’s go, Lily. Uncle Edward will bring you there!”

However, Lily broke away from him and ran upstairs in a hurry. “Give me a minute, Uncle Edward. I want to go and change my clothes. Wait for me!”

Everyone returned to their work after that. Anthony was the person in charge of the company. He went back to work. Bryson returned to his company for the flight test, and Jonas went back to his production team.

Liam, who was quiet, and Edward, who was a hothead, worked at the same construction site. Their company was the leading construction company in the country.

Although Liam was an architect, he spent most of his time at the construction site.

Edward was the project manager. Not only he was responsible for the project, but he also had to inspect the safety of the construction site from time to time.

Lily changed into a yellow dress and carried a very cute satchel bag. She went down the stairs happily and met Winona who was going up the stairs.

Immediately, Lily stopped and greeted, “Good morning, Aunt Winona.”

Carefully, Lily glanced at Winona.

After activating her Third Eye, Lily found that Winona’s face exuded a dark aura, and her eyes were like a monster.

She suddenly felt Winona looked scary.
