Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 668

Lilly witnessed a shocking sight, causing her to retreat instinctively. Now she was unable to understand what she saw and wanted to take another look, but the world she saw was nowhere to be found.

Zachary swiftly asked, "How was it, Lils? How was the pen?"

Lilly was confused and muttered, "I just saw a group of people clocking in... numerous people clocking in."

Zachary was confused.

What does that mean?

Were they office workers clocking into work?

He could not understand what she was saying, but Lilly remained silent for an unknown reason.

Lilly could not understand the situation unfolding before her.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of that world, like a reflection in a mirror, impenetrable and mysterious.

This time, Pablo was also perplexed and asked, "What's wrong, Lilly?"

Lilly simply shook her head.

For some reason, she knew that she should not say anything about it.

Lilly put away the pen, stood up, and said, "I'm hungry... Zachary, let's go downstairs to eat!"

"Let's go, Master!"

Zachary and Pablo were dumbfounded.

Only when Lilly had left did Zachary say, "Ah, oh, alright."

As Lilly went down the stairs, she noticed her uncle had come back.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of those voices from earlier.

They mentioned that Mr. Stark should not receive any money...

Lilly stepped forward and hugged Anthony's thigh.

Just as Anthony was about to lift Lilly, Lisa swiftly stepped in, scooped her up, and held her in her arms.

"Lilly's... mine!" she exclaimed happily.

Anthony let her go, but he sensed that something was amiss with Lilly. In the past, if Lisa hugged her like this, Lilly would surely laugh and join in the joy.

He inquired, "What's wrong, Lilly?"

Lilly pondered for a moment and replied, "Uncle Anthony, some people are saying that Daddy has bad intentions."

Blake had just brought a bowl of pork for the elderly lady when he overheard the conversation. He interjected, "What bad intentions?"

Lilly pursed her lips and continued, "They were talking about Daddy giving money to Mr. Stark."

Blake paused and furrowed his brow.

The fact that he paid Barry's salary was strictly confidential, and the one-million-dollar advance payment had not yet been transferred to Barry's account.

Logically speaking, no one should be aware of it.

Anthony asked, "Who said that?"

Lilly replied, "I can see another world, and it's what the people in that world said."

"They said they disagreed with it. If you give it to him once, will you keep giving him money? Will you give away money to everyone in the world?"

Anthony and Blake exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of where she heard it from.

Who said those words?

Why did it feel weird...

Nevertheless, Anthony responded earnestly, "Uncle Anthony can't possibly help everyone. It's unrealistic, but I just happened to see the situation and lend him a helping hand."

"It's like walking down the road and coming across a manhole cover that has been washed away by heavy rain. We can cover it up. There are thousands of manhole covers in the world that we haven't encountered or can't control, so we can't cover all of them up."

"All we can do is cover the manhole right in front of us, and that's enough."

Anthony never goes out every time it rains, nor could he come across every manhole cover that gets washed away.

Some manhole covers were already repaired and did not require his attention, while others are broken, and covering them would only mislead others, so he chose not to cover them.

But if everyone sees uncovered manhole covers, or if everyone witnesses situations where a little effort can make a difference but does not do anything... Anthony felt that this world is not a beautiful place.

He believed in doing what he could, focusing on what is within his reach.
