Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 393 The Victorious Parrot

Polly perched on Lilly’s head. It bobbed, talking to itself. “The evil has invaded our home with tricks up

her sleeve. Rise up, everyone. Stand against the invader and defend our homeland!”

Maryn was left speechless.

¡¡ ‘hat nonsense is this silly bird spouting? It doesn’t make any sense!

Then, Maryn praised smilingly, “This parrot is cute!”

Before Lilly could interject, Polly said immediately, “Rookie is also cute! Do you want to check it out?”

Maryn was surprised.

The parrot could converse with a human!

The parrot piqued Maryn’s interest. She exclaimed, “Who is Rookie?”

Polly called out to Bellflower, which was ready to pounce at any time from the stairs, “Rookie, go for it!”

Bellflower had enough of Polly’s attitude!

I’m not a rookie!

Bellflower leaped down the stairs. It meowed, using Maryn’s face as a soft landing to pounce on Polly.

Maryn was startled. She ended up sitting on the ground screaming, “Ah!”

Lilly was troubled by the mischievous antics of the pets.

Lilly quickly grabbed Polly in her hand to protect it. Then, she scolded the cat, “Bellflower! Stop! You

shouldn’t be hurting people!”

“Polly! You shouldn’t encourage the cat to do bad things!”

It was a commotion that flustered Lilly.

Bettany quickly ordered the servants to bring the first d kit to Maryn.

Blake was around to watch the scene. He leaned against the side with his arms folded. He spoke

nonchalantly, “It depends on who is the victim to determine if the cat is at fault.”

Maryn smiled awkwardly, and she broke into a cold sweat.

This man is dangerous. He has noticed my objective.

Bellflower happened to pass by Blake’s legs. Blake looked over and complimented, “Well done. I will

reward you with an additional codfish for dinner.”

Bellflower showed no response.

Bettany had a headache with Blake’s behavior. She tried to contain her annoyance, “Blake!”

Blake immediately stood upright. He raised his hand with a half-hearted smile, “My mistake. To make it

up, how about I have someone pick out the clothes and personally deliver them to you?”

1/3

Bettany felt a sense of resignation deep inside.

Crawford Holdings and D&R had some collaborations going on. The plan was to have Maryn present

the clothes so that the children could choose their favorites. It wouldn’t take more than ten minutes

before Bettany could send her off.

However, the cat had inflicted an injury on Maryn’s face. Bettany had to seek help to tend to her wound.

“Old Mrs. Crawford, I’m fine. I was merely startled.” Maryn quickly got up.

Maryn concealed her surprise. Blake? He isn’t a member of the Crawford family since his surname is

MacNeil. What a pity….

My priority is to stop Blake from taking away my opportunity to present the clothes.

When Maryn was about to speak, Bryson walked over because of the noises.

Maryn’s jaws dropped as she saw Bryson.

What is his birth order in the Crawford family?

He has a similar physique to Blake. Judging by his upright posture from regular training, he must be the

pilot!

Then, Maryn decided to cast the love spell on the pilot before her. He exuded a gentle demeanor,

making him the perfect target to approach.

Lilly held Bettany’s hand, and she whispered, “Granny, let’s not buy any clothes.”

Bettany patted Lilly’s hand..

Bettany noticed Maryn’s behavior resembled Peachy’s but she wasn’t surprised by Maryn’s reactions.

After all, most women were captivated by her son.

Bettany expected Maryn to be momentarily distracted. She could even tolerate Maryn trying to be

clever, but she sensed something was wrong.

However, the feeling was instinctual, and she could not explain it.

Bettany apologized, “I sincerely apologize. Our cat can be quite mischievous. Since you’re hurt, let’s

put the matter aside today. You may deliver the clothes next time. We don’t want to trouble you in

delivering us the clothes personally.”

“You should get medical attention as soon as possible. Our Crawford family will cover the expenses.”

“Put the clothes you have brought here. After we have picked what we want, we’ll arrange for someone

to return the remaining clothes to your store.”

Maryn was surprised by the bad news.

Maryn would be losing her opportunity!

Before Maryn could make a move, she was invited out because of a cat. Sure enough, she didn’t want

that to happen.

“I’m alright, Old Mrs. Crawford, Maryn pleaded, “You’re an important customer for D&R. If I return like

2/3

this, it will show the lack of professionalism on my side. D&R doesn’t allow that to happen…”

Lilly interjected, “Even if your company doesn’t allow it, are we required to cooperate with you? Are you

more important than a customer?”

Maryn did not know what to say,

“No, I don’t mean it that way…”

Bettany had already called Jack over.,

Bettany beat around the bush to avoid embarrassing Maryn.

However, Maryn’s pleading attitude would not change Bettany’s decision.

Jack gestured invitingly, “Ms. Mar, please come this way, Margaret will treat your wound. Feel free to

leave the suitcases there.”

Maryn could not do anything about the situation. She understood that persisting further would only

upset. Bettany.

Maryn could not allow that to happen. Her objective was to marry into the Crawford family. Bettany

would be her future mother-in-law.

Maryn would not want to leave a bad impression on her future mother-in-law.

Maryn apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, it was unprofessional of me. Please forgive me! I’ll leave the

clothes here. Feel free to reach out to me if you need anything.”

As Maryn spoke, she took out something from her pocket to wipe the wound on her face. Then, she

struggled to carry the suitcases.

Then, Maryn seized the opportunity to close her distance to Bryson.

“Oops!” Maryn stumbled toward Bryson.

Polly screamed, “She fell! She finally fell to the ground! It’s a penalty! What a remarkable sliding

tackle!”

Everyone, including Maryn, was surprised.

I hate this silly bird.

Maryn had envisioned many scenarios, like Bettany kicking her out because of her ulterior motive and

even getting caught when she stuck the talisman on someone.

However, she had never expected herself to fail because of the silly bird.

Maryn simply couldn’t accept it!
