Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1272

Jean was stunned as she felt something off. On the one hand, I was afraid that Mom would discover the truth; on the other hand, I could not bear the thought of her finding the truth in a few days. She would definitely be upset…

Tears welled up in Jean’s eyes, and she began to burst into tears. She wanted to say something but was interrupted when Anthony quietly interrupted her.

However, Anthony could not think of anything to say either, and that's when Lisa suddenly leaned in with a smile.

"Mom! Jean is upset about something! Here, try this vegetable!" Lisa said cheerfully.

Bettany was puzzled and said, "What's all this secrecy about?" I could not tell whether Jean was crying or laughing as she covered her eyes.

Max protested, "Dad, it was Lisa’s idea, not me."

Hugh turned to Lisa, who was nervously fidgeting with her fingers. Hugh’s expression softened, and stared at Anthony instead.

"Look what you've done!"

Anthony was speechless. Well, I am not surprised for getting scolded…
