Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278 What Was Supposed to Come Has Come

Lilly was curious. “There are so many tears in this world. Isn’t it easy to collect them? Grace, you’ve regressed!”

When the destined rivals met, Lilly could not help but tease Grace again.

Grace rolled her eyes at Lilly angrily. “The last tear is a tear of love!”

Lilly responded, “It’s so easy to find! There are so many people crying for love in the world!”

Grace said nothing more. Lilly won’t understand it! I need to collect my tears of love!

Grace was almost pissed off. She felt that she would never be able to achieve her goal in her lifetime.

What love could she have that she would weep for a man? It was possible in her previous lives but was impossible in this life!

She had sealed her heart and would not fall in love with a man. She even wanted to laugh when she read those love stories.

Lilly looked sad. “It’s over. You’re going to become an old granny!”

Grace instantly slapped Lilly’s head unceremoniously.

Lilly held her head and yelled, “Ah! You cheated! How could you do a sneak attack!”

How dare she hit the King of Hell’s head!

Josh was very protective. He was fine to see Grace arguing with Lilly, not fighting.

He ran over to protect Lilly and half-jokingly said, “Don’t bully my sister, or don’t blame me for beating you!” D

Josh pumped his fist. Unexpectedly, Grace gave him a condescending look and said contemptuously, “You can’t defeat me!”

Josh was pissed off!

Lilly quickly grabbed Josh. “Forget it! It’s New Year!”

Josh shouted, “Don’t stop me! I’m going to beat Grace up!

Grace said provocatively, “Come on! Beat me up if you can!”

The arrival of the Woods family washed away a lot of hidden sadness. It was lively for a few days. In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day.

Starting from the eighth day, people had to return to work. Anthony had to go to the company. Edward, Liam, Gilbert, and Bryson must return to work.

Edward asked strangely, “Bryson, aren’t you going back to work?”

Bryson did not say that he specifically asked for leave. He only said, “I haven’t taken any leave. all year round. I still have 15 days of annual leave. It’s a waste if I don’t take it.”

Edward looked at Liam. “How about you? Why don’t you leave!”

He took his briefcase and waited for Liam. Unexpectedly, Liam, who was efficient in the was now delaying.

Liam frowned. “I’m leaving. Forget it. It’ll be weird if I don’t leave. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Liam looked at Cloud talking to Bettany and occasionally hesitated to speak but quickly. covered it up.

Liam felt depressed and walked out silently. Edward could only catch up with him. “Hey, you’re so weird. Wait for me!”

Idiot. Liam secretly cursed. But when he thought about it, sometimes it was better to be stupid than clever.

Bryson looked at Jonas and asked, “What about you?”

Jonas said, “I’m not in a hurry.”

Anthony and the others could hide their acting skills from Bettany, but not him. He had been acting for many years. There would be traces in all their performances.

Jonas observed for two days and gradually felt desperate, and he silently adjusted and recovered.

past,

Quinnie was originally going to live with the Crawford family for a while, but thinking of what they would face later, Jonas let her return.

When the house gradually became quiet, Bettany felt something was wrong.

“Cloud, what do you want to say?” Bettany wondered. “Just say

it!”

Cloud knew he could not hide it anymore. Judging by the time, the military department would notify family members to pick up his body today.

He could not stop trembling, and his eyes turned red.

Bettany’s heart tightened. “What’s going on? Did something happen? Don’t worry. Your brothers will help you…”

Cloud suddenly knelt upright and was full of guilt. “Sorry, Mom! I…

Bettany’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt the bad premonition again. Her heart beat rapidly.

“Cloud, you…”

Before she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps outside. “Mr. Crawford, Mrs. Crawford, someone from the military department is here…”

Standing on the stairs, Lilly suddenly felt cold. What was supposed to come had come. Could Bettany be able to accept the truth?

Lilly panicked and ran downstairs. She threw herself into Bettany’s arms and hugged Bettany. tightly.

Bettany only felt her heart sinking deeper.

Her eyes were already red, and she forced a smile. “Is there someone from the military department? They’re here to appoint Cloud, right? Margaret, hurry up to prepare tea. You all don’t stand here! Tidy up! The leader is coming!”

Jonas turned his face away and felt his throat clogged.

Anthony and Liam returned at some point and stood at the door silently.

Bryson quickly looked up to prevent his tears from falling and to avoid being laughed at by

his brothers.

Bettany kept a smile and joked, “What are you doing? The military department isn’t here to catch traitors! Cloud isn’t…”

Cloud suddenly cried out in pain. “Mom!”
