Aku Seorang Kuadriliuner by Xiruo Huang

Yena gently placed the small cake in front of Bettany, feeling assured that everything would go

smoothly as long as she threw the glass ball, just as her ghost mother had promised.

Her confidence soared.

“Grandma!” Yena held up the cake with obedience. “I noticed that you seem troubled. Have some

cake!”

Bettany glanced at the cake with disgust in her eyes. “Take it away! I don’t like sweets!”

Yena pouted, adopting a childlike demeanor. “Grandma, please don’t reject Yena. My mother told me

that eating sweet things can make you feel better when you’re in a bad mood. Can you tell Yena why

you’re unhappy? I’ll do my best to cheer you up!”

Bettany’s irritation escalated. “I get nauseous when I eat sweets. Take it away!”

Who knows she ate peanut butter-filled donuts for three months…

Undeterred, Yena reminded herself not to give up. Her ghost mother had assured her that everything

would work out. The evil spirits would focus on Lilly and spare the others, according to her ghost

mother. Perhaps Lilly had already been torn apart by the malignant spirits!

It did not matter if Mrs. Crawford did not want to see her now. Once everyone realized that they had

been enchanted by Lilly, they would surely be grateful to Yena.

“Grandma…”

Bettany initially did not want to be harsh to a child and ruin her image.

However, she did not expect Yena to be so persistent.

Bettany stood up, her gaze fierce. “Go away, can’t you understand me? Why are you calling me

grandma? What connection do we have?”

Mabel was startled by Bettany’s cold outburst. She had been disoriented by the previous encounter

with the ghost, but now she was fully alert.

Mabel quickly interjected, “Ah, Mrs. Crawford, why are you so angry! Mr. MacNeil and I are cousins,

we’re relatives…”

“Yena is just a child, please don’t be upset with her!”

Lisa, wearing a blank expression, approached Yena.

With a swift motion, she reached out and forcibly escorted Yena out.

Yena, frightened by Lisa’s actions wanted to escape. Little did she know that Lisa was quite adept at

handling such situations, swiftly maneuvering past her and kicking her outside.

Mabel exclaimed, “You…”

Lisa turned around and repeated the same action, swiftly removing Mabel from the premises as well.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Both mother and daughter landed on the lawn outside, drawing the attention of onlookers.

Mabel, holding her legs, appeared tearful and pitiful. “Mrs. Crawford, I’m sorry, it’s our fault… Yena

thought you were unhappy, so I wanted to give you a cake. We didn’t know you disliked sweets…”

Yena choked back her tears. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Crawford. It’s all my fault!”

These two of them seemed to have forgotten about Bettany’s fierce reputation.

The crowd looked on, puzzled by the situation.

However, if someone offered a cake to Bettany, and she responded by kicking them out because she

didn’t like sweets…

That seemed very inappropriate.

Bettany was troubled by her concerns for Lilly and was called by Anthony, she appeared upset.

She could not vent her anger.

Suppressing her frustration, Bettany cast a glance at Mabel.

“What are you talking about? Are you saying that I’m arguing with a child over a piece of cake? Are

trying to make me look unreasonable? I’m so old, why would I argue with a child?” Bettany retorted

sharply.

Mabel tried to respond, “No, I didn’t mean that…”

Bettany nodded sarcastically, “Oh, it must be true then. After all, you tried to kill Shane’s ex-wife, right?

What good does it do you to slander an old lady?”

Mabel was at a loss for words.

The onlookers stared at Mabel with curious expressions.

So, it’s her!

The most unsuccessful mistress in the world!

She had spent her entire life trying to push Shane’s ex-wife away but ended up living a restricted life

within the Hatcher family. She even had to mortgage her own bracelet to buy another one. She

frequently took her daughter to various afternoon tea parties, both of them acting as if they were of high

status, even surpassing the Hatcher family.

Bettany continued, “I heard that Shane has ordered you to give birth to a son this year. You’re truly

miserable. You can’t even raise your daughter properly and you can’t give birth to a boy. Unlike my

daughter-in-law who bore two sons!”

Mabel could not find a response to this statement.

Bettany went on, “I know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid that Shane won’t want to see you, so

you’re constantly trying to curry favor with our family, right? I’ve already told you that when Blake was

homeless when he was seven years old. He was searching for you, but your family had already moved

out. Our families are no longer related, and you have no connection to the Crawford family. What’s

wrong with your brain? Why did you reach out to the Crawford family?”

Mabel blushed and murmured, “I didn’t know about Blake looking for us back then…”

Bettany looked surprised. “You didn’t know? However, you once mentioned that you had a good

relationship with Blake and that you went to school together.”

Mabel remained silent.

Enough was enough…

Yena cautiously stood up, wearing a weak and pitiful expression. “Mrs. Crawford, please stop. It’s all

my fault. I didn’t know you didn’t eat sweets…”

Her eyes were red, and she nervously clenched her fingers, looking utterly lost.

Bettany’s face remained expressionless. “It’s not that I don’t want to eat the cake, but it depends on

who brings it to me. What if I ate it and you called me Grandma from that on?”

Laughter filled the surroundings as people understood the situation about Mabel and her daughter’s

intentions to cling to the Crawford family through their distant relationship with Blake.

“It’s truly unbelievable. A mistress will always be a mistress, no matter what she does. She’s just an

embarrassment to everyone!”

“Iems like her daughter has learned the same thing from a young age. It’s of no use. I wouldn’t even

dare to eat the cake if it was offered to me!”

Yena clenched her teeth in frustration. What kind of grudge did this old woman hold against her? Why

did she always dislike her so much?

Did they have to wait for Lilly to die so they’ll be aware of the situation?

Just then, a garbage truck pulled up, and Arthur jumped out of the vehicle. He swiftly grabbed Yena

and Mabel and escorted them out.

The truck’s owner said, “Take these two pieces of garbage off the island.”

It had to be done!
