They were totally in different circles. Joel could not possibly know the Crawford family was the richest family around. Most people in the Dudroinia would not be able to identify who was the richest man, let alone knowing them in real life. All Joel did was scrolling through his phone and looked at videos of pretty ladies dancing; so he was totally ignorant about it. He said enviously, "Tsk, you’re so rich. You’re a young lady from a rich family; it’s such a torture for you to visit our poor place." He then turned and talked to Huxley, "Uncle Huxley, why are you still spacing out? Serve them your best tea!" He then picked up the tea on the table and said in dissatisfaction, "Where did you get this tea, this smells like a cheap tea! How dare you serve it to a young lady from such a wealthy family? No wonder someone splashed it just now!"
Lilly was speechless. Uncle Gilbert splashed it because this uncle was the one refilling his tea. She pouted and muttered, "Master, I dislike this man." Plabo said, "I know right? He’ll be beaten up to death someday." Lilly totally agreed with his words.
Huxley was anxious, he did not expect Gilbert to be someone this rich when he invited him over! "Mr. Gilbert, I’ll get a cup of new tea for you…" Gilbert pressed his shoulder and said it with a smile, "It’s alright, this tea is nice. I just didn’t want to drink a tea poured by a son of a b*tch." Everyone was shocked hearing his words; they all remained silent in awkwardness, but they actually felt happy as someone actually stood up to Joel; they did not do it because they were all relatives.
Gilbert stood up and said, "Lilly, let’s go and see what we can help them with." Everyone tried to stop him, but he did not want to sit here anymore, so he chose to bring Lilly to walk around. After he walked away, everyone was blaming Joel. "Joel, have you lost your mind? How dare you speak like this to our guest?"
"You’ve always enraged people with your unkind words; and now, you just had to humiliate our guest?"
"We should have asked Ruby’s cousin to sew your mouth!" Huxley reprimanded Joel for half an hour; and he was a shame. So, he used an excuse to walk away too.
Gilbert brought Lilly to the field behind the house, and she was stacking some stone into a playhouse. Suddenly, there were some movements in the grass. There was a cat popping out from the grass and stared at her in alert, and it meowed. Lilly exclaimed, "Uncle Gilbert, it’s a cat!" He squatted down next to her and asked, "Do you like cats?" She nodded and said, "Yes, I like them!" He then asked, "What about I buy one for you as a pet?" She shook her head and replied, "It’s okay. The cats like to catch the birds; I’m worried that Polly will be chased around."
He was amused by how gentle and sensible she was. The cat suddenly got annoyed and it meowed again before running away. She turned and saw Joely stood behind them and smiled weirdly. "Hey, little girl, are you playing with stones here? This is so dirty, let me bring you to play by the river!" He acted like a pervert; Lilly rejected him instantly by saying, "I don’t want to!" He felt uneasy and he regretted his actions. He did not know that they were so rich; he would not make fun of them if he knew it at the first place. He would establish a good rapport with them to build his connections. He offended them and they ignored him now. He felt an imbalance thinking about how much money Lilly had in her account…
Pablo stared at the malignant spirit and said coldly, "Tulip, it’s your showtime! Time to catch a malignant spirit!" Lilly stared at Joel while holding a stone. I must catch it! The spirit felt unsafe when it was glared at by the two of them. He felt like his ending had arrived!
"Go now!" It wanted to control Joel to make him leave. Joel suddenly felt blurry but he did not move, and he was saying vicious things, "Haiz, you must be looking down at us! We’re just ordinary citizens after all. Uncle Huxley was so not sensible asking the two of you to come to his house to eat; he should have treated you two to the restaurant…"
They did not expect Joel to be saying such vicious things while the karma spirit was about to leave. Suddenly, Lilly threw the stone in her hand! It landed on Joel’s voice, and his mouth was injured and bled, and one of his teeth fell off. Joel exclaimed in pain, and he held onto his mouth; he almost cried out loud.
Pablo said, "Lilly, go for it!"
Lilly was aggressive and dashed right at it!
