Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Mabel held back her indignance. “It’s true that amethyst isn’t that valuable. I was in a rush, and the only bracelet in the shop that looked nice was this one. It’s my fault…”

Bettany added, “Also, you’re not close enough with Blake to be on a first-name basis with him. I know you want in on our life, but this isn’t the way to go about it!”

Mabel bit her lip, her eyes reddening at once. “Did he say that to you?”

“Blake’s really gotten it wrong…” Mabel shook her head. “I never know how to explain every time I want to. He might have really gotten me wrong. I even remember going to school with him when we were little…”

“He loved sticking close behind me, calling out for me all the time. I’m heartbroken to see our relationship get to this stage because of a misunderstanding with my grandfather.”

Mabel sighed.

Yet a cold voice rang through the air. “Is it because you think I’m not here that you’re making up stories about my childhood to your heart’s content?”

Mabel got a shock, but quickly calmed down and lit up in joy. “Blake, you’re here too…”

She appeared calm, but her chest was thudding with panic as she forced out a smile. “Your sister-in-law’s been saying he wants to buy you dinner, but you’ve just been so busy.”

Blake’s gaze was ice-cold. “You’re kind of going overboard with the lies here.”

Bettany nodded. “I remembered that Blake was always with his parents when he was a kid. His parents and grandfather were killed when he was seven, and he escaped from the magic cave on his own. Where and how would he have the time to go to school with you?”

Mabel: …

F*ck, she had forgotten about that!

She thought that Blake wasn’t around, and had opened her mouth and blabbered!

“I’m sorry, it appears I’ve remembered wrongly,” Mabel said at once. “But we’re still siblings at the end of the day, oh Blakey…”

Before she could finish.

A lady walked out without making a sound.

Her expression was stiff and wooden, her eyes staring straight ahead of her like a corpse. Her skin was also a terrifying shade of deathly pale.

Mabel stopped short. “Who’s this…”

Lisa marched up to Mabel, reaching out and lifting her into the air before walking out, “Garbage… kick ’em out!”

Yena was scared witless.

How had things gotten to this?

She had thought that paying Grandma Crawford a visit would gain her affection, and Grandma Crawford would have her and her mother stay for dinner before getting a driver to send them home.

Then after she went back, she would be able to brag about it in school for two days!
Mabel held back her indignance. “It’s true that amethyst isn’t that valuable. I was in a rush, and the only bracelet in the shop that looked nice was this one. It’s my fault…”

Even her father was going to have to look at her differently. She was going to show him just how much more capable and useful she was compared to her sister!

She had never thought that this would end in getting kicked out!

Yena panicked, her eyes reddening as she fell to her knees in front of Bettany.

She sobbed, “Grandma Crawford, please don’t do this, please don’t do this to my Mom…”
