Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 23

Stephen was furious because he just realized Debbie had been using him all along.

He asked Debbie angrily, “Debbie, you wanted to leave me since the beginning, right? You wouldn’t be

able to leave me if the child was born, so you used Lilly to fake your miscarriage! Am I right?”

Debbie still wouldn’t admit it. She shook her head and kept crying.

Stephen was annoyed, but he figured this would be a great opportunity for him.

“You are so evil! I misunderstood Lilly because you have been lying to me… Lilly! It was all Daddy’s

fault! I was lied to by the person I trusted the most!”

Anthony snapped his fingers. Then, Jack showed a few documents on the screen.

The first document was Jean’s death certificate and Stephen’s marriage certificate.

Jean died in March, and Stephen married Debbie at the end of that month.

The second document was Lilly’s medical record when she was beaten up. The report stated the

following “Respiratory arrest, Shock, Fractures in the third, fourth, sixth and seventh rib, Fractured

humerus, Fractured right arm, Irreversible frostbite on the outer bend of the left leg tissue…”

Then, it was followed by a picture taken by a neighbour of the Hatcher family. Lilly, who was wearing

her pajamas, was buried in the snow…

Everyone was shocked.

The medical report showed how badly Lilly was beaten up by Stephen.

Everyone stared at Stephen angrily. How could he say he acted on impulse and hurt her because he

was too angry? Lilly even had to be rescued in the emergency room.

Bettany almost fainted after she saw the report.

“He was literally trying to kill her!”

“He forced her child to kneel in the snow and got frostbitten. I even pitied him for a moment. Bah!”

“He’s an animal! How could he call himself a father?”

Anthony chuckled, “Keep going.”

Jack showed an arrest warrant and explained, “The Hatcher group was involved in a major smuggling

case. Three people were killed because of that. The police have been investigating the case for the

past year. They have obtained evidence and are officially hunting for the prime suspect, Stephen

Hatcher.”

That means the Hatcher family didn’t go bankrupt because of the Crawford family’s revenge. They

were bankrupt because of what they did.

Stephen fell on the floor as well. He knew it was all over, and he was done for.

Everyone else was shocked by the truth.

The husband married another woman immediately after his wife died. He also ignored the fact that her

new wife had been torturing his daughter. He even attempted to kill her.

They even spread rumors saying everything was Lilly’s fault.

How could such a cruel father exist?

Everyone was scolding him.

“He doesn’t deserve to live! Scum!”

“Call the cops to arrest him!”

Stephen was nervous when he heard about people calling the cops. He tried to grab Lilly, so he could

use her as a hostage. Before he could rush towards Lilly, Anthony kicked him.

A few bodyguards in black suits carried Stephen and Debbie. They dragged him outside the mansion.

Debbie had no other choice but to cry and act pitifully.

Meanwhile, Stephen was shouting, “I raised Lilly no matter what! She wouldn’t be born if it wasn’t for

me! I am her biological father! The Crawford family is so ungrateful!

Anthony chuckled, “Lilly is not your daughter.”

Stephen was stunned, “What do you mean?”

Anthony stared at him and said, “The DNA test result shows that you are not Lilly’s biological father.”

Stephen couldn’t believe it. Even his only way out was gone.

He forgot how much he hated Lilly as his child. How he wished she was his daughter now… When it

comes to his personal benefits, he probably wouldn’t mind calling Lilly his father.

Stephen knew it was all over for him. He started scolding Jean, the Crawford family and Lilly.

Lilly stood in the crowd without saying anything as if she was swallowed by a whirlpool.

The members of the Crawford family knew she must have been hurt by the truth.

A bodyguard took off his socks and stuffed them in Stephen’s mouth.

“Shut up!”

All the bodyguards were close to the Crawford family. They couldn’t hold back and punched Stephen’s

nose until it was broken again.

Outside the mansion, police cars were waiting for Stephen. When he was handcuffed immediately after

he was thrown out of the mansion.

Debbie wanted to run, but she was also arrested for spreading false rumors.

Stephen would be facing at least 10 years of jail time and even a death punishment for smuggling and

murdering three people.

Stephen wondered what went wrong in his life. If he had treated Jean and Lilly better, he might be living

a luxurious life. He figured it was probably Debbie’s fault and kicked her.

“It’s all your fault, Bitch! I’ll kill you!”

Debbie was unaware and got her head smashed on the car door. Her head was bleeding, and she died

soon after.

Debbie’s soul emerged from her body. She finally realized that she was dead. She felt so aggrieved Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

and pounced at Stephen while screaming…

Back at the mansion, everyone felt justice was finally served.

Bettany carried Lilly and said, “Lilly, let’s go back.”

They no longer felt like celebrating Lilly’s birthday anymore. Everyone looked at Lilly with pity.

However, Lilly smiled and said, “Grandma, do you feel sad for me? It’s all right. I’m fine now!”

It was a sincere smile. She was supposed to be the person who got hurt the most. However, it turned

out that she was the one who comforted Bettany first…

Bettany was touched by her kindness.

Lilly patted her grandmother’s head and said, “Grandma, don’t cry.”

Bettany could not hold it anymore and started crying. Gilbert and his brothers pushed her back into the

house.

Anthony carried Lilly and asked, “Do you feel sad, Lilly?”

He didn’t want to expose the fact that Stephen wasn’t her father on her birthday. However, he needed

to deal with the issue as quickly as possible. Lilly’s reaction to this was the only factor that made him

hesitate.

However, Lilly shook her head and said, “I’m not sad, Uncle Anthony. I didn’t do anything wrong, right?

It was all Daddy’s fault, so he should be the one feeling sad.”

Anthony was shocked at how mature she was. He patted Lilly’s head and promised himself to not allow

her to be hurt again.

Anthony looked up and saw the person who let Stephen and Debbie in.

Winona was peeking by the window. When she saw the misunderstandings had been cleared, and

Stephen and Debbie got chased out, she didn’t feel happy at all.

Then, she saw Anthony staring at her with a grin. She felt a chill run down his spine.
