Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 1272 Covering Each Other

Jean was stunned as she felt something off. On the one hand, I was afraid that Mom would discover the truth; on the other hand, I could not bear the thought of her finding the truth in a few days. She would definitely be upset…

Tears welled up in Jean’s eyes, and she began to burst into tears. She wanted to say something but was interrupted when Anthony quietly interrupted her.

However, Anthony could not think of anything to say either, and that’s when Lisa suddenly leaned in with a smile.

“Mom! Jean is upset about something! Here, try this vegetable!” Lisa said cheerfully.

Bettany was puzzled and said, “What’s all this secrecy about?” I could not tell whether Jean was crying or laughing as she covered her eyes.

Then, Bettany reluctantly took a bite of the vegetable Lisa had offered. But the next moment, she choked on it, and tears streamed down her face.

“What in the world is this?” Bettany exclaimed while drinking water. “Why is this so spicy?”

Bettany felt unwell and somehow dizzying.

Edward laughed and said, “Wow, Lisa, you’re fearless! Mom, she even dares to pull a prank on you!”

Jonas was utterly speechless. He said, “I wondered why Edward sneakily hid this dish earlier. Now it all makes sense.”

Max said, “I was tearing up just like this a moment ago! It’s too early to reveal the truth, I wanted to see Anthony’s reaction after eating it all!”

Gilbert was astonished and said, “You’re really brave, Lisa.”

Cloud was stunned as well and said, “Lisa…“
