Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 68

The vanity spirit kept feeding off Cheryl's vain. He was so bloated like a giant mosquito who just filled itself with blood.

Cheryl only felt a chill on her neck before feeling a little dizzy. There were dark circles under her eyes.

The teacher started to give a lecture on the podium, "Remember, no matter who your parents are or how rich they are, you always follow my rules here!"

Then, she looked at Josh and sneered, "Josh, is she your sister? I heard she caused a divorce between your uncle and aunt soon after she started staying in your house." The teacher was being sarcastic. She thought she was a straightforward and upright person.

She did not like Josh because he was an excellent science student who was bad at language arts. Now that he brought a sister who had special rights in the academy, she thought it was only right to teach Lilly a lesson. She continued arrogantly, "Someone should teach a rich child like your sister some manners. You mustn't learn from your sister."

The teacher thought she should warn Josh as his teacher. She was surprised when Josh stood up and slammed his book on the table.

He said coldly, "You have no right to scold my sister. As a teacher, you should teach instead of gossiping about other people. You are the worst teacher ever. I hope you look up Nobelium, Boron, Radium, lodine, and Nitrogen on the periodic table of elements. They are the elements that form people like you."

He packed his bags and added, "Also, my uncle and aunt's divorce was caused by my aunt and not my sister! My aunt is still in prison. Do you want to be her cellmate?"

The teacher was stunned. She did not expect Josh to talk back to her. Before she continued, she was also trying to figure out what Josh said about the periodic table of elements.

Josh walked past the teacher and said, "Regarding the elements, their symbols are No, Br, A, I, N."

Then, he walked out with his school bag. Everyone else in the classroom admired and applauded Josh.

The girls in the class thought he was very cool.

Cheryl saw how the other girls admired Josh and thought he was actually not bad.

The teacher almost passed out from anger. She shouted, "Don't try to step into my class ever again! I don't have rude students like you!"

Outside the corridor, Lilly held her tortoise above her head while Polly stood on the tortoise's shell. Lilly sighed. Polly sighed too.

Pablo was bored, so he went around the school.

Theo was dejected, but he laughed when he saw Lilly.

Josh walked out of the classroom and saw Lilly standing obediently against the wall.

He said, "Let's go."

"Where to?" asked Lilly.

Josh said, "Weren't you looking for hamburgers just now? Let's go and eat."

It was difficult to replace hamburgers in school, but Josh knew there was food that he could not order as long as he had money.

Lilly's eyes lit up. She looked inside and saw how bad Cheryl's condition was. She thought about it and said, "It's all right to leave for a moment." Cheryl was not her friend anyway. Eating always comes first. Lilly grabbed her school bag and stuffed the tortoise and Polly inside. "Let's go," said Lilly.

Theo looked at the teacher inside the classroom before turning to look at Lilly.

He envied Lilly, but he dared not follow her.

Josh took Lilly around the academy. Lilly asked, "Josh, where are we going?"

Josh replied, "To the canteen."

Animaux Private Academy had tight security. No students could leave the school without their parents picking them up. Josh wondered if he should call his father to pick them up. However, he needed a phone which was not allowed in school. That meant he had to ask his class teacher if he wanted to call his father.

Josh took a glance at Lilly and decided to feed her first. He took Lilly to the canteen and went towards "Food Street"

The canteen had a mini supermarket section and a section called "Food Street". The food in the academy was very good, but it was very expensive as well.

The shops in Food Street were not street food stalls. They were in small shops with floor-to-ceiling windows and sofas.

"Boss, give me two hamburgers and two sets of fries."

Lilly added, "Order some shrimps. Tortoise needs to eat too."

Josh was speechless, but he still placed an order for a plate of live shrimps.

The shop owner said, "What? It's too early. Our ingredients are still..."

Josh flashed his meal card and said, "I'll pay double."

The owner said, "Sure! Give me 15 minutes!"

Lilly looked at Josh with admiration, "Josh, you are so amazing!"

For some reason, Josh felt proud. "You're so troublesome," said Josh proudly.

Soon, the food was served. Lilly took the tortoise out of her bag and fed her a shrimp. Then, she fed Polly some apple slices. Polly held the apple slices in its beak and walked beside the tortoise before it started eating.

Lilly reached out and grabbed the hamburger. She said, "It's my turn to eat."

Josh frowned and asked her to wait.

Lilly looked up and saw Josh giving her a pair of disposable gloves. The gloves provided at "Food Street" were for children, so Lilly could easily wear them.

"Thank you, Josh!" Lilly said while drooling from the smell of hamburger.

Josh was speechless.
