After Bettany understood what Lisa was trying to say, she immediately turned her gaze to Josh.
Josh angrily exclaimed, "Grandma, don't hit me with your bare hands!"
Bettany was speechless.
When did she even mention hitting someone?
She glared at Josh and asked, a bit flustered, "Normally, I always tell you not to use foul language! Just think, what kind of person does that make you?"
"Lilly never used to curse, but now she's doing it because of your influence. How ladylike do you think she appears now?"
"Next time I hear those words from you, I'll make sure you lose your front teeth!" Bettany said sternly.
Josh lowered his head, "Grandma, I'm sorry!"
Lilly quickly bowed her head and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry!"
Bettany's heart immediately softened.
Oh well... She's just so adorable. What's the harm in a few foul words...
Alright, she can say it!
Even though she secretly relented, the old lady maintained a stern expression and turned her attention back to teaching Lisa.
With someone in the family who would obediently listen to her, endure her nagging, and not talk back, everyone suddenly felt a sense of relief and their burdens seemed to lighten.
At that moment, Jack hurriedly entered the room.
"Sir, there are several police officers and three individuals claiming to be from the McCarthy family outside..."
Anthony's face turned icy, and he responded coldly, "Let them in,"
The gates of the Crawford Mansion swung open.
The police officers occasionally cast glances at Veronica and Steward, while a man of similar age to Steward stood beside them. He had a goatee and a serious expression on his face.
Veronica had a hat on and wore a mask, and she had a limp on one of her legs.
If she were to speak at that moment, others would notice that she was missing her front teeth and molars.
Steward wasn't faring much better either. He had a bald head and was also missing all of his teeth. Veronica still had a few teeth left, but he had lost all of his.
Veronica limped with her left leg, while Steward limped with his right leg.
Furthermore, Veronica's right ring finger was missing, and Steward's left ring finger was also missing.
Veronica whispered, "Second Elder, can we go in..."
The second elder of the McCarthy family, who possessed healthy limbs and believed himself to be mysterious, uttered in a low voice, "Be quiet!"
The Crawford family allowed the McCarthy family to enter as they please, so why were they not allowed?
Lisa fell silent, feeling a deep hatred within her. She felt as if she had experienced a deathly ordeal in the desolate mountains, where malevolent spirits excelled at tormenting people.
If only she could make them endure all the methods of death she had experienced. Even now, Lisa still felt a throbbing pain in her head, discomfort in her internal organs, and blood seeping from her seven orifices...
Having narrowly escaped death, when she returned and looked in the mirror, she beheld her missing front teeth and molars, and baldness in the center of her head.
With a twisted grin, she appeared quite unattractive.
She would have preferred if they had pulled out all her teeth! Or even plucked out all her hair!
But they insisted, claiming that this appearance suited her well.
At that moment, Jack ushered in a police officer. The second elder of the McCarthy family maintained his silence but openly regarded the police officer as his ally, following closely behind him.
Veronica admired the Second Elder from the depths of her heart. He truly had a way with things.
Unbeknownst to the Crawford family, they were unaware that the McCarthy family members had arrived separately from the police officer. They assumed that they were all together and welcomed them inside.
However, as they entered the premises, Veronica suddenly caught sight of a very familiar face among the guards.
An elderly man with a prominent mustache was leering at her.
