“Lilly, what are you doing?” Liam asked curiously.
Lilly looked up, “Not much. I’m just helping the Ugly Aunty wipe her face.”
In Lilly’s drawings, she often gave inanimate
objects names, like ‘Uncle Grass’ and ‘Flower Lady’…
Liam thought Lilly was referring to the plastic bag and was amazed by her imagination.
Pablo said, “Soul-shifting is a difficult skill. It’s incomparable to the activation of the Third Eye. How about you give it a try? It’s okay if you fail.”
Lilly nodded.
Pablo performed some spells and pointed at the female spirit, “Go!”
“Shoo…”
In just a few seconds, the Female Spirit was attached to the plastic bag.
“…”
“Can you remember the spells?” Pablo asked.
Lilly tilted her head and looked extremely confused.
She stretched out her little fingers and counted the words.
So many words… A hundred in total! Master is so fast!
Pablo looked at her disappointedly, “If it’s too much to remember, that’s fine then…”
Before he had the chance to finish his words, the female spirit flew out of the plastic bag.
“Shoo…”
“Oh? She’s out?” Lilly was confused.
Pablo was speechless as well.
Suddenly, Lilly’s eyes sparkled as she finally realized that she had memorized the spell in reverse.
“Oh, I’m sorry. It was supposed to be the other way around! We’re supposed to let her go in!”
She then proceeded to mutter the spell correctly.
“Smack!”
The Female Spirit finally attached to the napkin in the plastic bag successfully.
She was speechless.
She could even feel the parrot poo on her face!
Pablo was completely stunned by her ability.
Oh my god! Not only did Tulip memorize the entire spell instantly, but she could also cast the spell correctly on the first attempt.
And…she could even cast the spell in reverse!
Pablo fell into deep thought…
“We’re here. Let’s go down!” Liam said as the car stopped.
He carried Lilly out of the car while she was still holding the plastic bag.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the plastic bag flew away…
Lilly was trying her best to seize the plastic bag.
“It’s fine, Lilly. We have cleaners here.” Liam said.
Lilly squeezed her fingers guiltily.
She was actually going to take the napkin with Polly’s poo and throw it away…
After Edward parked the car, he closed the car door and stretched out his arms to Lilly.
“Come here, Lilly. Let Uncle Edward carry you!”
Liam pursed his lips and immediately turned away from him.
“I don’t think a rough guy like you knows how to carry a child.”
Edward quickly defended himself, “Why are you underestimating me? You have two kids, so what?”
Liam totally ignored him and proceeded to carry Lilly to the office upstairs.
His colleagues who passed by them asked curiously, “Mr. Crawford, is that your daughter?”
Liam’s eyes glinted with joy, “This is my niece,” he replied happily.
Edward butted in, “My niece is so cute, right?!”
They then proceeded to introduce Lilly to everyone in the office.

On the other hand, Winona went shopping with her mother. They were having breakfast together.
Helen asked, “Why the sour face?”
Winona complained, “My mother-in-law claims that I’m not a good mother and that I did not raise Hannah well enough…she wants me to get a divorce.”
She put down her cup angrily, “I don’t understand… Hannah is my child and I’m the only one who has the right to raise her. How can she say that I did not raise her well?”
Hannah is a good girl!
She is just slightly bad-tempered, so what?
Girls should not be too friendly. It sets their standards higher in the future when they are looking for a partner.
Girls who have no attitude can be easily bullied. Moreover, she is born into such an affluent family, so she has every right to behave any way she wants!
“Did she really say that? How can she interfere in your marriage? I guess there isn’t a single good mother-in-law in the world!” Helen said furiously.
“I’m telling you, don’t ever surrender to this kind of evil in-laws! How can she tell you to divorce her son? She is such an evil person!” Helen ranted endlessly.
Winona added, “Even Liam is not on my side. He even brought Lilly to his workplace.”
“What is Lilly doing there…Liam is not even her father. Why does she keep following him everywhere?” Helen questioned.
“You see, I told you that child is ambitious. Ever since the day she came, she snatched everything from Hannah, even Hannah’s father!”
“Stand up now! We’re going to the construction site to find Liam.” Helen pulled Winona up from her seat aggressively.
“I don’t think this is a good idea…” Winona said reluctantly.
“How is that a bad idea? This matter is between you and Liam! No one from the Crawford family has the right to meddle in this!”
Helen and Winona then rushed to the construction site hurriedly.
