Hannah wielded the shovel and repeatedly hit Yena’s head, producing a banging sound. Luckily, it was a small
plastic shovel; otherwise, her skull might have been cracked open.
A few boys trembled, shocked by Hannah’s violence.
Lilly’s head swayed back and forth in synchronization with the shovel’s movements, and she counted a total of six
hits.
“Wow…” Lilly was speechless.
Yena was beaten to the point where her mind was filled with pain, and she cried uncontrollably.
“Don’t hit me… Waaah, don’t hit me…”
With teary eyes, she looked at Josh and pleaded, “Josh…”
Josh’s fist clenched tightly. “What? I’m not your brother. Mom, she’s making trouble!”
Lisa had been squatting on the side from the beginning, diligently digging a sand pit efficiently. Now she had dug a
hole 1.6 feet deep.
Upon hearing Josh, she stood up, frowned at Yena, and said, “Bury her! Send her… back to her hometown!!”
Without hesitation, she tossed Yena into the sand pit.
General looked at the situation, how could he miss this opportunity to bury her?
Using all four claws, he vigorously covered the hole with sand.
Tortoise, who had been sunbathing, sneezed and covered Yena’s face with saliva.
Lilly and Josh widened their eyes in astonishment. Tortoises could spit!
Before Yena could get up, she was covered with sand and Tortoise’s saliva. She did not dare to stay there any
longer and ran back crying.
Hannah shouted, “Don’t come back! Don’t make me do it again, you hear!”
Once it was over, she huffed, “That’s how you deal with someone like her! Lilly, let’s continue playing!”
Lilly was dumbfounded.
Lilly was confused.
Is that it?
I haven’t even had a chance to do anything…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYena sobbed as she ran towards Blake, exclaiming, “Uncle Blake, Lilly hit me…”
Feeling frustrated that she was driven away within seconds of approaching the others.
She did not have the opportunity to showcase her intentions before being rejected.
Her face was covered in sand, and her once beautiful dress was now ruined. She looked disheveled and far from
pretty.
It was an embarrassing and infuriating situation for her.
So, when she complained to Blake, she purposely made it sound like Lilly was responsible for all of it, hoping to get
her into trouble.
Blake sneered, surprised that Yena had come to him to complain. Who did she think he would support?
He responded coldly, “Did you see her hit you? Lilly didn’t do anything. Are you saying that I can’t see what’s
happening right in front of me?”
Yena stumbled over her words, “Uh… I was mistaken… It was the girl next to her…”
Blake retorted, “Go complaint to their parents. Why are you coming to me?”
Yena was speechless.
She glanced at Anthony.
Anthony was occupied with his own tasks and did not bother to look up.
Blake continued in a cold tone, “Don’t look at him, it wasn’t his child who hurt you.”
Yena and Mabel were left speechless by his response, not expecting such a dismissive reaction.
Even though Hannah was not Anthony’s biological child, she was still part of the Crawford family. How could they
ignore the situation?
If it were someone else, Mabel would have fiercely argued, but when it came to Blake and Anthony… she did not
dare to do so.
The older ones ignored them, the younger ones refused to play with them, and even the dogs paid them no
attention.
Feeling embarrassed, Mabel had to find a way out on her own.
“You look busy, we’ll go back to the hotel first and we’ll join you later.”
Blake did not even spare her a glance.
Anthony paused his meeting and looked up at Mabel.
Mabel felt a glimmer of hope, wondering what Anthony was about to say.
However, to her surprise, he pressed his Bluetooth headset and made another call.
“Tell them Shane’s family, especially Mabel and her daughter, are blacklisted on Saffron Island.”
Mabel was speechless.
Yena clenched her fists, unconsciously slipping her hands into her pockets and gripping the black glass ball tightly.
One day, they would beg for her… She swore it!
Yena lowered her head as her mother dragged her away.
Anthony furrowed his brows. He had come here to make up for Lilly’s birthday and did not want to be bothered by
these people.
He was about to call the hotel and ask them to escort Mabel and her daughter off the island, but Blake stopped him.
“Let them stay for one night,” Blake said. “I have a feeling Lilly’s target has been met.”
Anthony remained silent.
The children continued to have fun on the beach, while Lisa remained squatting, diligently digging holes.
There was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes as each hole was meticulously dug as if she was burying something…
Anthony set aside his computer and walked over, casually putting his hands in his pockets and smirking.
“Are you done digging?” he asked.
Lisa looked up at Anthony, her eyes suddenly sparkling with excitement.
She then proceeded to dig an even bigger hole!
Initially, Anthony did not pay much attention to it. As he observed, he saw how diligently Lisa was digging.
Meanwhile, Lilly and Hannah had built a small castle, about 1.6 feet tall, complete with walls, bricks, and even
visible details.
Lilly happily exclaimed, “Uncle Anthony, look! We built this castle. Isn’t it beautiful?”
Anthony nodded in surprise, “It’s very beautiful.”
From a distance, he had seen the well-formed castle shapes, but he did not expect them to be so detailed up close.
Lilly proudly introduced, “Zachary helped us with the design, Aunt Lisa dug the sand, Drake and Josh carried them
to us, and Hannah and I built it together!”
She pointed at the two dogs, Tortoise, and Polly, saying, “General and Bailey helped with digging the sand, Tortoise
didn’t do anything, while Polly is the project manager.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTortoise thought to himself. What do you mean by nothing? I spat saliva on her…
Anthony found it quite amusing and said, “It seems like you all had a great time.”
Just then, he felt his sleeve being tugged.
Lisa stood behind him, and her face was covered with some sand, but her beautiful eyes were gazing up at him with
anticipation.
“What’s the matter?” Anthony was puzzled.
Lisa pulled him towards the hole she had just dug.
Anthony saw her excited expression and assumed she wanted him to praise her as well.
So he smiled and said, “You did a great job too! You dug such a big hole in such a short time.”
However, Lisa seemed dissatisfied and pointed at him, then at the pit.
Anthony was confused.
Lisa said, “Lie down… You… Bury!” Upon seeing this, Anthony smirked.
He was confused as to why Lisa wanted to bury him.
He gently caressed her hair and uttered, “Please don’t cause trouble.”
However, Lisa was not easily dissuaded. She insisted that he needed to be buried in the sand. Noticing Anthony’s
confusion, she pointed at the tourists.
In the distance, they witnessed a tourist sitting in a sandpit while his companions buried him and laughed.
A realization suddenly struck Anthony. “You want to join in the fun?” he questioned.
Lisa nodded eagerly, resembling a chicken pecking at grains of rice.
Anthony smiled as he looked at his neat clothes and said, “I don’t want to do that, you can if you want to.”
As the president of Crawford Holdings, he had countless projects worth millions to be approved every minute and
he had no time to have fun.
However, Lisa dragged him toward the sandpit.
Reluctantly, Anthony complied with her and walked over, gazing into Lisa’s beautiful eyes.
Eventually, he found himself squatting halfway near the sandpit, expressing his helplessness. “Lie down, and I’ll
bury you,” he conceded.
Lisa’s eyes lit up, and she promptly stretched out on the ground, awaiting for Anthony to bury her.
Anthony paused. He supported her head, lifting it slightly.
“You silly girl,” he muttered, “If you lie down, the sand will cover your face. Leave your head exposed, okay?”
