In the Crawford family, Bettany overheard that two days ago, it seemed that a thief came in over the wall, and the dogs barked in the servant building.
During breakfast, she nagged, "The servant said on July 15th, a thief came in over the wall and seemed to be carrying two sacks, but the servant didn't find anything missing, and he didn't see anyone else… Did any of you lose anything?"
Lilly and Josh were taken aback for a moment.
Two sacks?
Hugh frowned, "Did you check the surveillance? Are you sure he came in with two sacks or did he leave the mansion with two sacks?"
A thief came in by climbing over the wall? That's impossible.
Wealthy people lived in that area and the security was tight. Not to mention that the Crawford family also hired a security team to guard the mansion.
Besides, even if they were robbed, the thief could never bring everything out of the house…
Bettany's face was strange, "Don't you think that it was a coincidence that the surveillance system was down last night?"
Josh choked and coughed violently.
Blake placed a glass of water in front of Josh and said calmly, "I'll see if I can recover the footage later,"
Bettany nodded, "Please do so. I feel like it's pretty weird, and it would be best if nothing happened,"
Blake agreed.
Josh was dumbfounded.
How did his uncle not react when Bettany said it to him?
It was he who climbed over the wall that morning.
And the two sacks on his shoulders were him and Lilly.
Drake and Anthony were expressionless as if they knew everything.
Lilly put down her cutlery, and said obediently, "Grandma, I'm full!"
Josh followed her and said, "I'm full too!"
Bettany was startled, "But you've only eaten a little,"
Lilly replied, "I'm celebrating Quinnie's birthday with Uncle Jonas today!"
She did not want to be full because she wanted to have cake.
Bettany seemed to have remembered something and patted herself on the forehead, "I almost forgot about it. Uncle Jonas is on the set today, and I will send you there later."
Ghost Festival was over, everyone had gone back to work, including Bryson and the others.
Liam and Edward went to the construction site early, and Gilbert was incredibly busy.
Lilly nodded and ran upstairs, "Grandma, I'm going to change my clothes!"
Bettany was also full, she put down her cutlery and followed her. She reminded Blake, "Remember to check the surveillance!"
Blake nodded lazily as if saying, "Don't worry about it,"
It is impossible to investigate the matter, or else he might reveal the truth.
He must not let the old lady know that he took Lilly out that morning and came back to the Mansion by climbing over the walls.
The old lady would have strangled him.
When everyone left, Josh asked nervously, "Uncle Blake, you won't restore the footage, won't you?"
Blake replied, "Hmm, what do you think?"
Josh was quiet.
Blake stood up and rubbed Josh's head gently, "We're men, we should be calm when something happens,"
After finishing speaking, he flicked his green coat and walked out in a carefree manner.
After a while, he drove an SUV and vanished as he drove further.
Josh muttered, "I'm not a man, I'm a little boy,"
Hmph, little boys aren't bad.
…
Lilly changed into a little black dress and thought it was not appropriate for the occasion since she was celebrating Quinnie's birthday.
She changed into a red dress.
Lilly thought that it was not appropriate to wear red since Quinnie was the protagonist of her party.
She immediately changed into a blue tutu skirt, and she was satisfied.
Polly stood on the table, tilted his head and looked at Lilly with beady eyes, and sang sweetly, "Black, white, red, yellow, purple, green, blue, gray… There are so many styles to choose from…"
Lilly giggled, found a pair of white loafers and put them on, then picked up a comb to tie her hair.
