Chapter 10 Teach You a Lesson

Eight security guards rushed up and yanked the Hatchers away when they saw Anthony’s signal. They complained as they dragged the Hatchers out of the mansion.

“Mr. Anthony asked you to leave. Are you deaf?”

“Why are you causing trouble everywhere? What a bother!”

The commotion generated by Crawford’s entrance piqued the interest of the nearby houses. Some purported to have tea on their balcony, while others pretended to take their dog on a walk. They were all expecting the Hatchers to make a fool of themselves.

Richard and Paula were red-faced with embarrassment and rage. This is my house. How dare the Crawfords chase us out? They are so unreasonable!

The Hatchers were accustomed to living the good life and could not stand such disrespect. However, they had to tolerate the mistreatment as they were dealing with the reputable Crawford family. They had to stand at their gate and wait for the Crawfords to leave their house.

Meanwhile, Lilly continued to humor the parrot now that the Hatchers were no longer present to distract her. “Come on, Polly! Look at this!” She lifted her palm and revealed half a piece of apple. She hid the apple that Gilbert had peeled before leaving the hospital this morning.

Polly started swirling on the branch as though it was assessing the Crawfords, who stood at a distance. Hugh gripped his walking cane solemnly, albeit there was a glint of apprehension in his eyes. Gilbert was also concerned about the situation. He hoped he had wings so he could grab the parrot. He felt sorry for Lilly for raising her arms until they hurt.

“Here’s some delicious grains. Do you want it?” Gilbert managed to find some parrot feed and held it in his palm.

Lilly nodded fervently and said, “Uncle Gilbert is a good man. Come down so that we can leave, Polly.”

The Crawfords watched Gilbert and Lilly’s close interaction with sullen envy. They had no idea when the pair became so well-acquainted.

Suddenly, Polly flew away from the tree and landed on Gilbert’s head. The Crawfords looked at Lilly in disbelief when she giggled at the amusing sight. Since they met her, she had spoken with no intonation and behaved like an emotionless robot. She remained a straight face and was cautious of her actions during the ten-day stay in the hospital.

Hugh’s eyes glistened with tears; he believed that old age had made him more emotional, and he frequently found himself sobbing uncontrollably.

“Bastard! Bastard!” Polly croaked as he flapped his wings delightfully. It appeared arrogant to have succeeded in making Lilly grin.
