Spoiled by Eight Uncles Summary pdf

Everyone was annoyed by the parrot’s antics. At long last, they managed to chain the parrot and leave

the Hatcher mansion.

Lilly patted the parrot and whispered in its ear, “Don’t worry, it’s just a chain. You look great in it, Polly!

I’ll take it out for you once we reach home.”

Hugh leaned on his walking stick and surveyed the mansion. This was where my precious daughter

lived before she died. I wonder if they fed her well. Did she sleep well? Did anyone care for her when

she was ill? Did she often play in the backyard? Did she often stare out of the window to look at the

trees?

The old man’s heart wrenched when he thought of Jean; the Crawford brothers felt a sting of

melancholy when they saw their father in a miserable state.

The Hatchers went up to the Crawfords when they saw them exiting the mansion. They decided to try

their luck with Lilly, given that the Hatchers ignored them.

Richard praised, “Our in-laws are brilliant indeed. They managed to catch the parrot!” Stephen added,

“Does Lilly like parrots? I promise to buy you many more parrots in the future, okay?”

The little girl lowered her head to avoid looking at her father’s pretentious smiling face. She hugged her

rabbit and parrot tightly as she thought, I don’t want many parrots. All I longed for was a hug from

Daddy ever since Mommy died. But instead of showing me concern, all he had done was hit and scold

me. I thought Daddy was going to beat me to death the other day. I always believed Grandma’s

remarks that I was an unlucky girl loved by no one. However, during my stay at the hospital, my

grandpa and uncles were extremely good to me. They chatted with me and said it wasn’t my fault. I… I

don’t want Daddy anymore.

Lilly did not know if it was wrong to harbor such ill thoughts. However, she mustered her courage and

said, “No! I don’t want you to buy parrots for me. I don’t want you anymore.”

Stephen was stunned by his daughter’s sudden outburst. Richard and Paula were also astonished at

Lilly’s decision to turn her back on them; they thought she had been drawn by the Crawford’s wealth.

Stephen frowned and bellowed, “Lilly Hatcher!” Although he was aware that his daughter was obstinate

and would only cave into beatings, he made an effort to avoid physical lectures in front of the

Crawfords.

Paula sighed, and said disapprovingly, “Even though your father may be a little strict with you, you

shouldn’t have said such disrespectful words! Every child needs a father.”

Richard tried to change the topic by suggesting, “What an ignorant child! Shall we have lunch, our dear

in-laws? We can take the time to get to each other better.”

“That’s right! It’s so rare for us to meet. Jean hardly talks about all of you,” Stephen added merrily.

The Hatchers took turns to pander and emphasis their close relationship with the Crawfords.

Edward could no longer control his rage when he heard Stephen narrate his fond memories of Jean

and how he had been a good husband. He cracked his knuckles and grabbed the man by the neck to

slam him hard on the mansion gate.

He yelled, “Are you done with this nonsense? You are unworthy of being our in-laws! Stop with this

nonsense.”

The force of being struck against the metal fence caused Stephen’s head to bleed heavily.

“We will wait in the car.” Gilbert carried Lilly and left without looking back.

The Crawford family did not condemn Edward’s actions. If they did not have to concentrate on Lilly and

her parrot, they would have pulled the blows themselves.

Stephen was shocked at the sudden attack. He was mindful of his words and did not know when he

had offended the man.

“Stop!”

Boom!

“Please, stop!”

Boom! Boom!

Richard and Paula watched in horror as their son had been beaten to a pulp. It was evident that an

architectural engineer like Edward did not care about his mannerism as he repeatedly grabbed

Stephen’s head and smashed into against the wall.

Paula cried aloud, “Stop! Let’s speak like civilized people. We are family!”

“Please calm down, Edward,” Richard urged.

Edward glared at the elderly couple and threatened, “I don’t usually hit women and the old. However, I

may do so if the situation calls for it. Don’t blame me for being nasty if you dare speak another word.”

He spat on the ground and mustered his strength to smash Stephen’s head against the wall once

more. He then kicked the victim in his vulnerable spot, which hurt the most.

Many neighbors came to watch the commotion when they heard Stephen’s loud wails reverberating

throughout the estate. Finally, Edward had settled scores. How dare you betray my sister. You shall

suffer for the rest of your life. You shall never have children ever again.

As they saw their son being tormented, the elderly couple’s bodies grew cold with fear. They only dared

burst into tears when the Crawfords left.

“Are they crazy? How can they be so nasty!” Paula shrieked.

Richard, too, was startled because he had never met such an irrational individual as Edward. He

instructed, “Stop crying. Let’s hurry to the hospital.”

Paula immediately whipped out her phone to call an ambulance. Her phone line was disconnected

because of the late bill payment, much to her chagrin.

The Hatchers could only watch Stephen suffer as they had no money to see a doctor.
