Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 24

The door was pushed open, and Liam walked in.

His face darkened. “Come out!” He ordered.

Winona immediately walked toward Hannah.

No, I won’t go out!

She knew what Liam was going to say to her, so she hugged Hannah tightly. She knew Liam would not

dare to talk about divorce in front of Hannah.

“How long are you going to do this?” Liam berated.

Tears welled up in Winona’s eyes. “Do what? Didn’t I do everything for you and our family? How could

you blame me now? Have you ever thought about Hannah? Do you know how pitiful she is? Why didn’t

you protect her as a father just now?” Winona reproached and changed the topic.

Liam did not want to argue. “Divorce!” he exclaimed, straight to the point. He then threw the divorce

paper on the table and left the room without looking back.

Winona was stunned. “What did you say?”

She threw the needle away and screamed, “I won’t sign the papers! No way!”

Right then, Hannah’s grandmother, Helen, walked in. “What’s going on? You don’t want your wife and

daughter because of your sister’s daughter? You’re not a man! Damn! How did Lily who just move in

make her aunt and uncle divorce?”

“Shut up! Get out now! Go home!” shouted Winona.

Every time Helen came to Crawford Mansion, she would stay for a few days. She liked being served by

many servants.

Certainly, she was not going to leave since she had just arrived that night.

“Hey, Winona, calm down! You can always talk to Liam. Otherwise, we can find another way to…”

Winona’s eyes turned red. She pushed Helen out of the room and slammed the door.

“Hey, why are you angry with me?” Helen could not help knocking on the door.

What did I say wrong?

The birthday party could not carry on anymore. With a glass of wine in his hand, Bryson smiled. “Thank

you everyone for coming to Lily’s four-year-old birthday party. Lily is Jean’s daughter. We’ll not let Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

anyone bully her even though Jean was gone. By the way, I also want to take this opportunity to

announce that from today onwards, Lily’s surname is Crawford. Lily Crawford. Thanks again for

coming.”

After the speech, everyone left Crawford Mansion one after another.

However, they could not help but whisper when they walked out the gate.

“I have to say Lily is so blessed to have 8 uncles.”

“Yes, she must be spoiled by her uncles!”

Cheryl grabbed Tina, her mother’s dress when she thought of Lilly’s dress. She envied Lily. In fact, she

was jealous of her. She also wanted to be adored by many uncles.

Right then, Tina noticed some people were still lingering in the living room.

Seeing a friend rushing in, Tina quickly stopped him and asked, “Mr. Lewis, what’s going on?”

Mr. Lewis answered, “Mr. Lambert is here!”

Tina’s eyes lit up when she heard that.

Cheryl’s father, Thomas Miller, led Tina and Cheryl back into the house at once. They hoped they could

meet Lawrence Lambert too.

Cheryl sniffed and said cautiously, “Mommy, I’m sorry. I remember it wrong…”

Tina wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she said, “It’s not your fault. Let’s go. Don’t you

like to paint? Mr. Lambert is here. It’s your chance!”

Lawrence was a famous painter. It was difficult to see him in person. However, he was here today. Tina

thought they were so lucky.

If Cheryl could be chosen as Lawrence’s student, the whole family would be so proud. Everyone would

be envious of them.

Cheryl’s eyes lit up and asked, “Are you saying the world-class famous painter, Mr. Lambert is here?”

Cheryl knew him very well.

Tina nodded. “Yes, Cheryl. You should show your skills later! Your painting is awesome!”

Cheryl’s oil painting won the national junior art competition before. The country had been selecting

young and talented artists to join the National Art Council which oversees the development of arts in

the country.

Cheryl was full of confidence when her mother praised her. She knew she was the most talented young

artist among so many people.

I’m sure Mr.Lambert will choose me. By then, I can compete with Lilly. Drake will also notice me.

On the second floor, Hugh patted Lily’s shoulder and said gently, “Let’s go, sweetheart. I want to

introduce an old friend to you.”

Lily nodded. “Okay.”

Lily, who was only a kid, nodded seriously like an adult, which made Bettany laugh.

In the living room, a few people who were interested in oil paintings were talking with an old man.

“It’s really a great honor to meet you!”

“That’s right! We seldom have a chance to meet you in person. Are you going to be the judge for the

second national art competition?”

The old man who wore a green shirt shook his head with a smile. “No, no. I’m too old to become the

judge. I’m here to find a young artist as my student.”

Lambert was in a good mood. After seeing the paintings Hugh sent him, he was so excited that he

could not even sleep for two days.

Lily was talented. Lambert had not seen such a talented kid for decades.

When Hugh asked if he would like to take Lily as his student, he agreed at once.

In the living room, everyone was stunned when Lambert said that.

Mr. Lambert is looking for a student! A junior? Who is it?

Everyone was envious but excited as well. They kept guessing whom would that be.

Just then, Tina came in with Cheryl.

Everyone’s attention immediately fell on Cheryl.

Cheryl was one of the great junior painters in the community. At a young age, she won numerous junior

art competitions, and her works were kept in the National Art Council.

Without question, Lambert’s student could be her.

All of a sudden, everyone smiled and greeted Tina and Cheryl as they walked in.

Lowering her head, Cheryl behaved like an obedient girl quietly. However, she could not help but feel

proud of herself, thinking that Lambert would take her as his student.

Tina asked, “Mr. Lambert, heard that you’re looking for a junior as your student. We’re curious whom

would that be? Who is so lucky to become your student?”

“A very talented kid. She uses vibrant colors, and I’m impressed by her wild imagination in her

paintings. Her paintings were awesome! In fact, she’s the most talented artist I’ve seen in the past few

decades!”

Hearing that, Tina was overjoyed.

Cheryl always uses bright colors, and she’s imaginative! It must be her! Mr. Lambert comes here

personally for her!
