Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Aimee's staged suicide had been completely exposed, and the initial sympathy that netizens had for her turned into anger.

Meanwhile, a perplexing question circulated online.

‘Why did Aimee's appearance change so drastically? Initially, she was plain-looking, but over the past year, she became increasingly beautiful, yet no one could find any signs of plastic surgery! However, during the live broadcast of her suicide attempt, her face suddenly distorted.

This was truly bizarre, and people couldn't comprehend it.

Aimee's attempt to gain attention had attracted significant scrutiny from numerous bloggers who immediately jumped on the trend, delving deeper into the matter. Gradually, they uncovered the cosmetic surgery clinic in Renovara that Aimee visited. Soon after, they discovered a peculiar cosmetic ritual performed by this clinic. Before undergoing surgery to resemble someone, the individual had to bring some mysterious items, such as blood, from the person they wanted to emulate. This ritual supposedly transferred the other person's beauty onto them.

In no time, someone claiming to be a former staff member of a certain TV production leaked information that Quinnie had a hand injury on the last day of shooting before her pregnancy. The discarded bloody gauze was picked up by Aimee. To make people believe, the staff member scoured through old footage and finally found a hidden corner where Aimee was sneakily rummaging through the trash and taking the blood-soaked gauze.

The enthusiasm of onlookers reached new heights. The more this story unfolded, the more mysterious it became, with an increasing amount of evidence. Even celebrities in the entertainment industry came forward to confirm that the Renovara clinic did indeed perform such a ritual.

'Oh my god! Aimee is really scary; | can't even imagine such a thing!" 'If this is true, then Aimee is seriously malicious. She portrayed herself as innocent and harmless before—what a hypocrite!" ‘Does this mean she faced repercussions for her actions? Well, she deserves it!" Aimee desperately tried to turn the tide, but now, she was firmly stuck at the bottom of the pit. Moreover, her irreversible facial changes left her unable to find a benefactor among the big bosses. They were all avoiding her. Not only that, but she also faced substantial breach-of-contract penalties.

Alas, Aimee had reached rock bottom.

After witnessing the entire process of Aimee's downfall, Lilly shook her head.

"Master," she asked, "why do people knowingly do things that are wrong? Even when they feel uneasy doing it, why do they still proceed?" "It's the influence of greed,” Pablo replied nonchalantly.

Lilly understood that the word "greed" could lead to undesirable consequences.

Jonas embraced Quinnie and said, "Alright, your husband helped you reclaim your reputation. Do | get a reward?" Quinnie glared at him. "Lilly is still here; have some decency!" Jonas innocently touched his nose. "I didn't say what | wanted, did 1?" Lilly promptly excused herself. "Oh my, you two!" She slipped out of the room and coincidentally saw her grandmother playing with baby Riley. "Riley, say hi!" Riley, just over four months old, with round eyes, looked at Bettany and made baby noises, attempting to mimic speech, "Ha- ee... Ha-ee!" Bettany chuckled. "Did you understand me? What a brilliant baby you are!" At that, Matthan protested while lying on Bettany's lap, "Matthan is clever! The cleverest!" He held onto a milk bottle, wearing a diaper that made his bottom chubby.

Bettany affectionately patted his head. "Yes, yes, our little Matthan is the cleverest. Both of you are clever!" Hugh teased, "Already so competitive at this age? Send him to boot camp to be more competitive when he grows up!" Bettany gave him a playful glare. "Matthan is barely even a toddler; no need to talk about such matters.” Matthan raised the milk bottle and exclaimed, "Strong! Matthan is the strongest!" Feeling warm and fuzzy, Lilly mused, This must be what having children and grandchildren around your knees means.

Turning her head, she noticed Blake holding a phone, seemingly filming something.

"Dad?" Hearing the voice, Matthan immediately turned around. Seeing Blake's actions, he promptly threw away the milk bottle in his hand, looking angry.

Blake smirked. "Nothing, just capturing the beautiful moments of life." Are you sure you're not documenting my baby brother's secrets? Lilly mused.

You better watch it, you old foot! Matthew swore. I'm going to dunk you in the toilet when I grow up! Suddenly, Bettany turned to Hugh. "We should ask Quinnie again if we should host a wedding ceremony for them." Hugh nodded. "Certainly." People outside were discussing why Jonas and Quinnie didn't have a wedding when they got married, and some even speculated that Quinnie wasn't valued by her in-laws.

Since Jonas' identity was revealed, and with the grand wedding of Anthony and Lisa, everyone knew he was the fourth son of the prestigious Crawford family of Clodston.

Although the Woods family was also affluent, they were much more low-key than the Crawford family. Many people said that Quinnie married into the prestigious Crawford family through scheming—claiming she secured her position by getting pregnant, a rise from humble beginnings to a wealthy household.

Lilly exclaimed, "That sounds great!" When she returned last year at New Year, Quinnie was already pregnant, and Lilly had missed it. This time, she couldn't afford to miss it again.

Thinking about the palace at the bottom of the evil eye, Lilly hadn't collected everything inside. Recalling the treasures she obtained in Emperor Greenbow's cave, she was sure there were nice treasures in the palace at the bottom of the evil eye.

She wanted to get her hands on those treasures sooner rather than later. However, she was worried that if she went down now, by the time she returned to the Human Realm, another year would have passed, and Jonas and Quinnie's wedding would be further delayed.

"Well, no one else can go down anyway..." Lilly pondered. "One month in the Human Realm is also only a few days in the Underworld. Let's sort out Uncle Jonas’ wedding first..." At the bottom of the evil eye, the massive wheel still existed. Waiting for a few more days shouldn't be a problem. Most likely, no one would go down early to plunder the treasures...
