Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1145

Serene did not know why Lilly could not tolerate her.

Emperor Prosper could cut flesh and blood for his legitimate daughter, self-destruct three thousand orders, and could pamper Lilly gently.

But why couldn't he show me more sympathy? Even to strangers, he wouldn't be so cold-blooded and cruel!

Blake, who had already left, suddenly returned. A glimmer of hope floated in Serene's heart. However, she saw him raise his hand, and the painting she had always cherished fell into his hands! Serene instantly understood what he wanted to do and yelled, "Father, don't!"

Blake glared at her coldly and destroyed the signature and his portrait on the painting.

He threw the painting back into Serene and said coldly, "Don't let me hear you calling me Father again! Lilly doesn't like it. I don't like it either. It'll cause misunderstanding and trouble to our family." As Serene was a victim, he did not attack her again.

He had settled everything with Serene. From now on, he had nothing to do with her. He would naturally not care about a passerby if she did not pester and provoke him again.

Serene slumped on the ground while staring blankly at the painting.

The painting was still the original, but Blake's portrait was now blank, and Blake's signature was gone.

He had tried his best to leave Serene a complete painting. After all, it was an heirloom left by Serene's mother, so he did not tear it up.

To a painting, he's so sensible with understanding and relief. Why is he cruel to me?

No one was around, and Serene did not want to be laughed at by the mortal. She took the painting and walked on the street in a daze.

The family of three in the painting lacked the role of the father. Gradually, Serene's mind turned into a blurred truth.

She did not know what the truth was, but the face of Emperor Prosper became evident in her mind.

Blake was not her father. Her obscure emotions suddenly came out after taking off this relationship.

Her three thousand years of guarding and waiting was no real paternal love. Everything depended on her fantasy.

Once she removed the father's role from Blake, combined with the shock of seeing the real Emperor Prosper, Serene's feelings suddenly reversed.

"Emperor Prosper..." Serene stopped. She stared at the painting in a daze.

She suddenly understood. Was she waiting for her father for three thousand years?

To her, Emperor Prosper was no longer an ordinary existence. Others had awe and admiration for him. But she already had a different destiny entanglement with him three thousand years ago. Even if her mother misled her, no one else had such an experience.

It showed that she had a fate with Emperor Prosper!

Serene's eyes lit up with hope again, and she became cheerful. "I'll cultivate harder..."

I want to become powerful. I don't need to stand beside Emperor Prosper. I only want to watch him quietly all the time!

Serene could not wait to go back to the underworld. She had been snubbing her cultivation too much lately. She must start redoubled efforts to cultivate now!

Serene was looking for the way back to the underworld but unexpectedly met Alban.

Of course, she did not know Alban. In her eyes, Alban's strength was no different from the mortal's, so she ignored him and hurried past.

Alban, who had escaped prison, immediately followed Serene. "Wait!"

"How did Alban Knox escape from prison!" Someone's voice in an office was full of anger.

The person on the other end of the phone explained, "It's not a prison after all. He's fifteen... Youth detention center..."

The Crawford family sued for the burglary. In the end, Alban was sentenced to a lighter sentence because he was underage. He got sentenced to five years but ran away. "Even though it's the youth detention center, you can't relax the monitoring!"

"Sorry! It was our mistake!"

"Go keep an eye on Tia Knox's side."

Alban did run away. But now he was a wanted criminal.

He wanted to see her sister and live with his sister openly, but it became his bondage and invisible pain.

By the time Lilly returned to the Crawford family, Bettany had finished cooking.

Bettany said she cooked casually, but the table was full of dishes.

Jean's eyes lit up. "Wow! So many dishes! They look delicious!"

She floated over immediately and sat on the side eagerly.

Liam, Edward, and Gilbert were back, and Anthony was on the way. He got backlash, so Lisa left the Crawford Mansion after giving birth. Anthony was worried and followed her.

Of course, Lisa must have returned after hearing that Lilly was back.

Liam lowered his head and seriously loaded Lilly with pasta.

Edward complained to Lilly, "I peeled the shrimp all afternoon! Look at my split nails!"

Gilbert served the food up and said, "Don't take credit! Liam peeled the most shrimp."

Hugh said, "You all are childish." They were already adults but still took the credit.

Lilly took the fork and food for Jean and inserted an incense.

Before Jean left, the Crawford family would do the same, but knowing that Jean would no longer stay in the mortal world after leaving, they put away Jean's tableware. They no longer placed her tableware on the dining table.

They would put out all the tableware whenever there were festivals. It was like Jean came back to celebrate the festivals together.

Seeing Lilly's familiar actions, the Crawford family froze.

After Margaret and the others went to the other side for dinner, Bettany asked Lilly, "Who is coming back?"

She thought it was Lilly's master or her friends, but she heard Lilly say, "Granny, it's Mommy!"

Pa! The fork fell from Bettany's hand.
