Yena's eyes brimmed with tears as Bettany's words pierced her with bluntness. In her embarrassment, she slapped her own face.
She noticed a garbage truck nearby. Without uttering a single word, a man approached and forcefully pulled Yena and her mother out.
Ten minutes earlier...
Upon receiving the "gift" from Yena, Blake told Arthur to take out the trash.
Arthur arrived with a garbage truck. He effortlessly flung Mabel and Yena onto it and proceeded to transport them out to sea.
Fifteen minutes later...
A resounding "Boom!" echoed through the air as Mabel and Yena were thrown to the ground.
The speedboat had been moving at a fast pace, subjecting their faces to painful scratches as they could feel their ears ringing.
Neither of them regained their composure.
Mabel's hair was disheveled, while Yena's once soft and cascading locks were now askew.
Their faces felt numb from the wind, their expressions dull.
After a while, Mabel regained her senses, trembling with fury. "How dare they... How dare they throw us out like this! We're guests! What's the meaning of this?!"
Her anger surged, and she remained seated, voicing her grievances aloud. "Is this the way Saffron Island treats its visitors? We came here to support the local economy, yet just because of a minor mistake, the Crawford family kicked us out!"
Passersby paused in astonishment, taken aback by the scene.
Mabel fanned the flames, accusing the employees of Saffron Island of mistreating their guests. They were kicked out of the island, embarrassed. She was going to file a complaint.
As Yena continued speaking, she drew more attention to herself.
Suddenly, the large electronic screen in front of the ticket office flickered unexpectedly, displaying Mabel's entire fawning encounter with the Crawford family. The footage even captured her sour expression as she left the banquet hall, uttering spiteful words. "No wonder Lilly's the Crawford family's princess. I hope she dies and the Crawford family would be devastated."
The onlookers saw Mabel and Yena in a different light.
"I initially thought Saffron Island was mistreating people, but it seems someone else brought this upon themselves. "
"So, she's a mistress? No wonder. Mistresses aren't welcome anywhere."
"Wishing death upon someone's child during her birthday party? They deserved to be beaten up! The Crawford family was being too merciful!"
"What a lunatic! She has such a foul mouth and lacks any sense of shame. She cries foul and throws dirty accusations when she's kicked out, yet she's laughing so smugly now."
The crowd looked at Mabel with disdain, they distanced themselves from her.
Caught off guard and unable to win the fight, Mabel hastily gathered her belongings and fled with Yena.
Yena wanted to cry, she did not expect things to turn out like that!
While even villains in TV series often manage to avoid facing consequences for several episodes, Yena, on the other hand, was abruptly cast down just as she had begun to rise. This sudden turn of events made her feel like her efforts were meaningless tasks.
She was supposed to be the main character!
Why did she and her mother always end in such humiliation?
Yena wept all the way back home, unwilling to stay with Mabel anymore. Her thoughts drifted toward her departed mother.
Fortunately, she had fulfilled her task assigned by her ghost mother...
…
On Saffron Island, in the banquet hall, Lilly savored the final bite of her cake, placing the plate down with a satisfied expression.
The malignant spirits, frozen in place by her powers, glared at her with resentment.
"Lilly, what else should we practice?" Lilly asked, gently massaging her father's fingers.
Blake thought for a moment, unsure of what else to work on.
The little one, frustrated, pounded their tiny hand on the ground, and in an instant, a massive talisman emerged, instantly immobilizing all the malignant spirits.
You're already so strong, why would you wanna train some more?
Zachary, taken aback, closed his gaping mouth and uttered slowly, "This... is a powerful move…"
He added a line to Lilly's skill description.
"Giant Talisman- SSS level. Drawbacks are…"
Zachary glanced at the notes on her desk and wrote, "Drawbacks are high energy consumption, requires the consumption of three cakes to replenish energy."
Blake pondered, "This move is powerful, Lilly. Release them and let's try it again."
After all, there were countless evil spirits, about a hundred of them.
Blake wondered how the other party had managed to gather such a large number of ghosts. They must have exhausted their resources, so wasting this opportunity was out of the question!
Lilly nodded eagerly, saying, "Okay!"
With those words, the little one slammed her hand on the ground once more!
