Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 34

“Please allow me to help with the pie, Mrs. Crawford,” Margaret looked concerned. Bettany shook her head, “It is the least I could do for Lilly.”

Bettany had always wanted to make Jean’s favorite food after she got better, but Jean never did. Now with Jean’s daughter here, Bettany felt she needed to do her best to take care of Lilly.

Margaret sighed. Bettany was about to bring out the pie when Lilly rushed into the kitchen. “Granny!” Lilly ran toward Bettany.

“What’s the matter?” Bettany asked. Before Lilly could reply, Winona’s voice rang through the kitchen, “Lilly! Where do you think you are going?”

Bettany frowned. Winona stepped into the kitchen and was surprised to find Bettany there. She looked at Bettany, wide-eyed. “Bettany! You are here.”

“Where would I be?” Bettany scowled at her, “What are you trying to do behind my back?”

“I am not doing anything behind your back,” Winona panicked, “I was simply asking Lilly to pick up the apple core she threw on the floor, but she used foul language at me.”

“I did not think it was appropriate, so I wanted to explain why to her. That was when she ran away to the kitchen,” Winona continued.

“Bullshit!” Bettany threw her oven mitts at Winona, fuming, “Get lost! I don’t want to see you here.” She did not believe a word Winona said, and she had no doubt if she hadn’t been here, Winona would have had the nerve to hit Lilly.

Winona was furious. Lilly knew Bettany was in the kitchen, and she made Winona follow her to the kitchen. What a scheming little bitch! Winona tried again, “Bettany, it is not right to spoil Lilly. She should learn right from wrong at this age already.”

Lilly bit her lip and looked at Bettany and Winona. “I don’t think I have said anything wrong. Aunt Winona said I brought bad luck to her, but it was her slanted shadow that brought her bad luck. I told her the fact, and she wanted to punish me for it.”

Bettany’s face fell. She turned toward Margaret, “Gather Winona’s stuff and throw them out! She does not belong to our family anymore.”

Winona could not believe it. “Whatever! Let Lilly do and say whatever she wants! She will never learn and she will always be a spoiled brat.” She stomped out of the kitchen and went straight to her bedroom.

Winona locked the door behind her. Nobody can make me leave! It was clear as day the little shit deliberately said those things to turn Bettany against Winona, but everyone just let Lilly do and say whatever she wanted.

At the same time, Bettany was infuriated. “What a bitch! She wouldn’t allow us to lecture her kids, and yet she had the nerve to lecture my Lilly.”

Margaret coughed and reminded Bettany of Lilly being in the same room. Lilly gently touched Bettany’s back and said, “It’s okay, Granny. Please don’t get angry.”

Lilly felt sorry for upsetting her Granny. She promised Mommy she would make Granny happy, but she had failed.

Bettany sighed and decided she would deal with Winona after this. She brought Lilly pie and then waited until Lilly fell asleep before going after Winona.
