Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Lilly glared at the tall boy in front of her, her anger simmering beneath the surface.

Although she did not know the details, she had a feeling that something was amiss with Ivan.

And this big boy in front of her seemed to be involved.

Alban locked eyes with Lilly, his gaze carrying a dangerous intensity. “What’s your relationship with Ivan?” he demanded.

Lilly fought to suppress the anger welling up inside her. Her father had always taught her not to judge someone as good or bad before knowing the truth. What if she was mistaken?

Lilly could not shake off the feeling that something had happened to Ivan. The last time she saw Ivan, he told her to tell Mr. Shaw that he would return later. Deep down, she believed that Ivan would come back.

Pursing her lips, Lilly maintained her unwavering gaze at the tall boy and replied, “He’s my brother’s friend, and he’s also my friend!”

Alban’s expression turned cold. He picked up Tia’s schoolbag and said icily, “Then we have nothing more to say”

Initially, he had thought that this little girl might be of the same kind, and he intended to approach her. However, if she was associated with someone like Ivan, there was no need to have any further interaction.

Alban scooped up the Tia, who was weeping, and began to walk away.

But Drake, Josh, and Zachary swiftly positioned themselves, blocking his path.

Alban’s eyes turned frigid.
