Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

After the elderly woman sent a voice message to the owner group, several other owners started expressing their opinions.

Some tried to persuade everyone, saying, “It's not right for them to be running around during break time. We have to work tomorrow! Let's try to understand each other!” Others showed empathy, stating, “The most annoying ones don’t even consider the fact that children are living in the building! In the past, | had noisy neighbors upstairs who would curse at others in the middle of the night. Selfish runts, just because they can afford a villa, doesn’t mean they can act however they want! Nobody cares if they jump around like that!” The owner on the 15th floor raised suspicions, asking, “Are you sure it's the 17th floor...? | heard the noise coming from the 16th floor.” Similarly, the owner on the 8th floor was puzzled, commenting, “Is the soundproofing that bad? How can the noise from the 17th floor affect the 15th floor? This must be extremely noisy!” The elderly woman responded angrily through her voice message, scolding the 15th and 8th floors, “Are you siding with the 17th floor? They don’t even know you when they first moved in. You're siding with them because of their wealth aren't you?” The owner on the 15th floor became infuriated.

There had been a long-standing grudge between the 15th floor and the elderly woman on the 16th floor. Even before the 17th floor became vacant, the elderly woman's family had been troubled by the noise from the 16th floor.

Late at night, it was clear that it was the family from the 15th floor who caused disturbances by playing with a ball.

However, the elderly woman was boisterous, and whenever they tried to reason with her, they were scolded and forced to back down, leaving them with no choice but to endure their anger.

Bettany also witnessed the commotion in the group and was familiar with the situation involving the elderly woman on the 16th floor.

Once, when she and Margaret went out to buy groceries, the elderly woman intentionally approached them and asked what kind of vegetables they were purchasing.

Upon seeing that Bettany and Margaret were buying large lobsters, the elderly woman made a snide remark, saying, “Elderly people shouldn't consume seafood. It can increase the risk of gout.” Typically, Margaret would go out to buy a significant amount of vegetables, and the elderly woman assumed she was a relative.

Consequently, she confronted them with a sarcastic comment, “Why are you buying groceries for this family? Isn't that someone else’s responsibility?” Margaret explained that she was their helper responsible for cooking at home and taking care of both Bettany and Lilly. This statement further fueled the elderly woman's bitterness, causing her to exclaim, “Oh, you hired a helper. You must be from a wealthy family.” The elderly woman believed that the term “wealthy family” would serve as a mockery of the Crawford family. Little did she know that the Crawford family was wealthy.

Margaret ignored her, which fueled the elderly woman's anger even more.

Bettany maintained a serious expression, as she was preoccupied with her concerns for Lilly these days and had no desire to quarrel.

However, at that particular moment, her interest was suddenly piqued, and she felt the need to take a more serious approach.

The Crawford Mansion in Alfornada was quite extensive, with neighbors being separated by a lake, so conflicts were less likely to happen.

Bettany felt a tinge of excitement and anticipation. She opened the group chat and handed the phone to Hugh, saying, “You should start a live stream later! Oh, and remember to record the screen!” Hugh took the phone with a speechless expression and replied, “You're still so spirited even in your seventies. Why do you get so fired up?” Bettany gave him a disdainful look and retorted, “If you have nothing to say, then keep quiet!” Hugh chuckled and touched his nose.

Observing that Lilly, Blake, Lisa, and Drake had all joined the discussion, Bettany made a gesture for everyone to be quiet.

Despite her childish words, Bettany displayed a conniving nature in her actions.

Meanwhile, the knocking on the door persisted.

The elderly woman noticed that the live broadcast was being aired in the group, causing her to knock politely.

Bettany, with a stern expression, forcefully swung the door open. The elderly woman's hand almost hit Bettany’s face.

The elderly woman momentarily froze, then said, “You're all here, perfect timing! There’s something | need to discuss.” Bettany emanated a strong presence, her eyes piercing, and her face devoid of any expression. She coldly asked, “What is it?” The elderly woman was taken aback and hesitated for a moment. She nervously crossed her arms and stammered, “Y-you...

your children were running around in the middle of the night...” Bettany sneered, “And?” The elderly woman was once again taken aback, unable to muster her anger.

Look, how arrogant and impolite wealthy people are! They lack manners! Her children were running around and still didn’t know what they did wrong.

This was the perfect opportunity to showcase the quality of their household to the other owners in the group. It made sense to start a live broadcast! The group chat exploded with outrage, as they realized that the situation on the 17th floor was unreasonable.

The elderly woman placed her hands on her hips, displaying her strength, and exclaimed, “So what? We still need to sleep while your family is awake! Your children were making noise and playing ball in the middle of the night. How shameless!” Bettany coldly stared at her and retorted, “How would you know that you saw our children running around? Are you just basing it on the voice note you sent to the group? You created the disturbance yourself and recorded it, didn’t you!?” Bettany’s fierce response generated dissatisfaction among the sympathetic individuals in the group.

“The 17th floor is being unreasonable! Shouldn't they apologize?” one person exclaimed.

“I can’t believe it... the residents on the 17th floor have such low quality?” another person commented.

“Running around and playing ball in the middle of the night, and they dare to be so aggressive. There's a negligent parent behind every misbehaving child!” someone else chimed in.

Lilly gazed at the elderly woman, perplexed by what was happening.

However, all she sensed was a ghost hovering over the woman.

If Master were here, he would raise an eyebrow and exclaim, “Is this even possible?”
