Chapter 135 Lilly''s Courageous Growth
Hugh frowned, and he said coldly, "Is the surveince system really broken?"
Anthony handed the investigation report to Hugh.
"ording to regtions, public kindergartens are required to install surveince devices in public
areas to ensure that incidents involving children can be investigated. However, there is no requirement
to install such devices inside ssrooms."
"Animaux International Kindergarten is a private kindergarten that leans toward the idea of reducing
surveince while putting more trust in the teachers. The public areas are installed with surveince
devices, but the surveince devices in the ssroom have always been in a damaged state."
Hugh coldly mmed the investigation report on the table.
"Continue with the investigation! Nothing can stop the Crawford family from investigating for the truth!"
Upstairs, Lilly leaned over the table, and she stroked Polly''s feather.
Lilly asked softly, "Master, why are those people like that?"
Pablo replied, "The world is filled with darkness, noise, and chaos. We can''t control what other people
say."
The public had different views. Many people chose to follow the views blindly.
People would tend to believe that what they saw was the truth, but they were unaware that sometimes
what they saw was intentionally revealed by others for them to see.
Lilly felt wronged, and she said, "I didn''t do anything wrong."
Lilly would hit Ray if it happened again.
This was the first time Lilly experienced online harassment, and she did not understand why the world
operated in this manner.
Lilly did not understand why people were saying things as if they were true, even though she did not do
anything wrong.
Sometimes, Lilly was even confused if she had done those things…
…
ke stood at the door, silently watching the unhappy Lilly.
In the end, Lilly is hurt…
ke turned around, and he left. He changed expressionlessly into ck clothes, leaving the Crawford
Mansion at night.
The kindergarten wascking in terms of the surveince system.
However, there could be satellite surveince monitoring the kindergarten''s area.
Satellite surveince was unlike the typical surveince system. The satellite surveince was in the
hands of the officials to maintain public order.
Satellite surveince offered a high resolution. It could zoom in to the point of seeing the bird''s nest on
a tree.
ke could utilize his authority to check on the satellite surveince nearby. He might be able to piece
together the incident if he were lucky.
Nothing could stop ke!
…
After the incident went viral, the other siblings of the Crawford family hurried back home when they
learned that Lilly was being cyberbullied.
Gilbert was infuriated. He could not imagine that his well-behaved niece was framed in such a manner!
Edward was so angry that he smashed a dent in the car hood.
The film industry''s golden boy, Jonas, stood up for Lilly. It attracted many haters…
Everyone gathered in the study. Anthony forbade them from disturbing Lilly.
No one wanted their emotions to affect Lilly.
Edward stared angrily, "Brother, are we going to leave it like this? I will find that olddy, and I will beat
her to death."
Jonas crossed his arms, and he pushed his sses up, "Count me in."
Anthony said coldly, "The public opinion is heated. We need to take things one at a time. Don''t act
recklessly."
The opposing side could always retaliate no matter what the Crawford family did, putting the Crawford
family in a challenging spot.
The Crawford family could not resort to murder either.
If the Crawford family went against thew, that would prove the public''s opinion correct.
The Crawford family would not allow that to happen.
Without surveince footage, even if the Crawford family were to threaten the olddy into changing
her story, the public would not believe it. The people would continue to say hurtful things about Lilly.
Anthony did not want Lilly to get hurt anymore…
The Crawford family''s brothers were fuming with anger.
…
Lilly remained depressed inside the room.
Lilly was taught many pearls of wisdom, but she could not make sense of the world.
Pablo sat cross-legged in front of Lilly, and he asked, "Lilly, do you have the courage to defend
yourself?"
Lilly raised her head, and she asked, "Can I?"
Pablo continued, "You have to believe in yourself! Your courage is the light beam that can defeat all
monsters in this world."
Pablo even recounted the superhero moves from the cartoons tofort Lilly.

"You can say no loudly to those online bullies. You can bravely stand up and defend yourself."
"There are many things you can do. Even if the storm is heavy, there''s nothing to be afraid of if you
have courage."
Lilly listened to her master''s words, and she felt the fire in her heart rekindle.
No one knew, but this would be the most crucial breakthrough for Lilly…
Lilly clenched her fists, and she said in determination, "I can do it. I want to exin it for myself."
Polly pped its wings, and it squeaked, "You can do it, Lilly! You should squeak for yourself!"
Lilly replied, "Yes! I should squeak for myself!"
Pablo twitched his mouth.
"Lilly, speak for yourself, which is to express your opinion. It''s not squeak by yourself…"
Lilly rushed to Josh''s room in her slippers.
Josh''s hair was in a mess because he pulled his hair while he was in an online argument.
Josh was tired and dizzy.
Seeing Lilly was here, Josh quickly put away his phone. Josh asked, "Lilly, what''s wrong?"
Lilly said, "Josh, you don''t need to hide it! I know everything."
Josh went into silence. He quickly thought about how tofort Lilly, "Lilly, don''t listen to them. These
people don''t know anything. Dad will resolve everything!"
Lilly shook her head, "Josh, I want to speak for myself."
Josh was surprised, "What?"
Lilly raised her voice, "I want to speak for myself."
"I have not done anything wrong, and I have the courage to exin for myself!"
"They can''t bully me!"
Daddy told me not to suffer any bitter loss quietly!
Josh opened his mouth widely. The zing fire in his heart was ignited, "Alright! I will prepare the
equipment for you!"
The children started to prepare the equipment for video recording.
There was no hesitation.
If Lilly approached Anthony, Anthony would not let it happen.
However, children would not think of the consequences sometimes, unlike adults.
Children moved forward in courage. Even if they made mistakes and got hurt, the children had fearless
momentum.
When Anthony realized Lilly was about to speak for herself, it was toote to stop her.
The Crawford family had a downcast expression in the study. Everyone cracked their brains to solve
the problem at hand.
Unexpectedly, they received a new notification.
After tapping it open, the Crawford family was shocked.
Lilly sat in front of the camera in a well-behaved manner. Lilly folded her hands on thep.
Lilly blinked her eyes, showing her nervousness.
Then, Lilly asked, "Is everything okay? Can I start?"
Josh''s voice sounded from the side, "All good."
Lilly stared at the camera, and she said, "Hi, everyone…"
"I''m Lilly, the naughty kid you talked about."
Lilly bit her lips. At first, she was too scared to look at the camera. However, she became braver as she
spoke.
"I have indeed hit Ray, but I don''t think I''m at fault."
"At first, when I was having breakfast, Ray called me a Big Belly. Ray added that I ate too much, and I
didn''t leave anything on my te. Ray also said I couldn''t do anything right."
"Lilly was angry, so Lilly asked Ray to stop, but Ray continued doing it."
"Lilly ignored Ray, and Lilly went to report attendance."
Lilly spoke softly and calmly.
However, Lilly''s calm demeanor made Bettany want to cry.
What did Lilly do wrong? Why does she have to face so much adversity?
In the camera, Lilly continued in a sweet voice.
"It was my first day of kindergarten, and the teacher asked me to introduce myself. I was so happy, and
I said, Hello, everyone, my name is Lilly, and I am d to make friends with you all."
"Ray made fun of me, calling me a Chubby Sweet Potato!"
"Teacher asked Ray to apologize, and Ray quickly said sorry. I didn''t want to forgive Ray because Ray
was not sincere."
"I ignored Ray, but Ray pulled my hairpin during the ss."
Lilly touched her head, and she said, "It''s right here. Ray grabbed my bunny hairpin, and he pulled it
off. My hair was pulled out. It was painful."
"I told him he shouldn''t do that, but he didn''t listen. He even pulled my braid, and he said he would
untie my hair."
"I was mad, so I pulled his hair. He hit me, so I hit him back!"
Lilly''s eyes were filled with a hint of tenacity, "I don''t think I did anything wrong. Daddy said we should
not bully others, but we must never let them think we''re easy targets to pick on when they bully us."
Lilly had teary eyes as she continued, "Everyone said Lilly is at fault."
"All of you said I''m a naughty kid."
"My uncles are anxious, and my dad is worried. They have been trying to tell the truth, but you don''t
believe them."
"Lilly wants to ask, did you witness why Lilly and Ray are in a fight? Why do you say Lilly is a naughty
kid when you don''t know anything?"
Lilly''s tears fell. She bravely wiped them away, but the more she wiped, the more tears she dropped.
In the end, Lilly cried out loud, "Why does no one believe in me when I''m telling the truth, but so many
people support those who make baseless usations? Am I at fault here?"
