Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 88

In the dark room, one could see the man in black, his dark eyes under the dim moonlight. His slightly curly hair hung over his eyebrows, and his eyes reflected the moonlight.

His phone rang, so he picked up the phone. A voice from the other side could be vaguely heard. "Mr. Rosewood passed away today at 3.50 pm. It was his neighbor, Valentine, who discovered him. The ones who went to the Rosewood residence together are Anthony, Josh, and Lilly from the Crawford family and Charlie Brown… About the corpse under the Animaux Private Academy's field… The police records show that Mr. Rosewood went over previously to report that he was certain that corpses were buried under the field…"

The man in black laughed. Old Mr. Rosewood went over to solve the case? He could not believe that.

"Why did the Crawford family go over?"

The other party replied, "The Crawford family were planning on going to the Taylor residence…"

Once the other party finished speaking, the man in black said coldly, "Investigate everyone who went to the Rosewood residence today and send me their information." He then hung up the phone and put his phone into his pocket.

He was Blake MacNeil, whose name was given by his grandfather, who had passed away 18 years ago. Before his grandfather passed away, his grandfather met Mr. Rosewood coincidentally and asked Mr. Rosewood to find Blake.

Blake only discovered this after some time, so he was too late when he returned. There were many things he wanted to ask Old Mr. Rosewood about, but he would never have the chance to do so anymore.

Blake soon stood up and disappeared into the night.

Lilly had a great sleep that night. She dreamt that a man taller than a door frame admitted to being her father. Then, he bumped his head into the door frame as he was about to step through the door, causing Lilly to giggle.

As Pablo returned, he saw Lilly giggling in her dreams, revealing her sweet dimples. He was dressed in a white robe and showed a rarely-seen gentle smile as he patted Lilly's head. "Silly little one."

The next day, Lilly slept until it was 9.00 am. Bettany quietly walked in, seemingly worried, and wanted to check if Lilly was still there. She then saw that Lilly had washed up and changed. Lilly was already wearing her shoes.

"Good morning, Granny!" Lilly said with a bright smile.

Bettany's mood immediately brightened, and she smiled. "Lilly, why are you up so early?"

Lilly replied, "Polly woke me up!"

On the balcony, Polly leaned against the mosquito net while singing a song. Bettany's mouth twitched upon seeing this. She disagreed with Anthony when he said he wanted to create a tropical rainforest room beside the balcony because she thought the parrot was too noisy.

Lilly was growing up, so she had to have a peaceful sleep. What if the parrot woke her up at midnight?

Bettany nagged and complained that Anthony was insensible even though he was all grown up.

Lilly could not help but laugh. She held Bettany's hand and walked out, following the wheelchair. "Granny, Polly won't be noisy at night."

Parrots were the same as humans. They could not see anything at night if there was no light. Moreover, they would sleep quietly at night and not make any noise unless someone disturbed them or there was danger.

Downstairs, Anthony, Drake, and Josh had their breakfast at the dining table. One of them was looking at the tablet to handle work, another was reading the news in the newspaper, and the last of them was reading an arithmetic book, thinking and eating at the same time. They did their own things without disturbing each other.

Hugh put the teacup aside and said with a stern expression, "Eat properly. Why are you all doing so many things at once?"

Since Lilly returned, the Crawford family had not had their "morning meetings" for a while.

Hugh was a strict person who usually did not speak much. However, everyone would be obedient once he spoke. Anthony put down his tablet while Drake and Josh put down their book and newspaper. Hearing the noise from the stairs, Josh thought it was Lilly and immediately looked over. Instead, he saw Hannah running down with slippers.
