Chapter 537 A Grand Gift
Lisa had never experienced such a game before. Lying alone in the pit while Anthony who was shining
in her eyes buried her in the soil.
For the past eight years, she had been confined to a cold and lonely coffin, enveloped in darkness. But
now, on the sunny beach with its soft sand, everything felt entirely different.
Amused, Anthony chuckled and remarked, "Do you enjoy being buried?"
Lisa suddenly stared at him, and after a long pause, she uttered, "I like it...you bury me."
In her dying moments, she pleaded that she would not be nailed into a coffin by the people she hated,
just like before. She longed to beid to rest by someone she cherished so that even in eternal
slumber, she would feel the warmth.
Anthony gazed into Lisa''s pure white eyes and suddenly knew what she was trying to express. His
hand that was holding the small shovel halted.
He wanted to say something but did not know what he should say.
At that moment, Lilly, Hannah, and Josh rushed over, gleefully joining in as they witnessed Anthony
burying Lisa.
Anthony was so immersed in burying her. His smile grew wider, and he continued to bury Lisa until only
her head was exposed.
Hannah eximed joyfully, "Let''s create a Mickey Mouse figure on top of Aunt Lisa''s head!"
The children cheerfully molded a pair of Mickey Mouse ears and sculpted a Mickey Mouse shape
around Lisa.
Anthony took out his phone and snapped pictures of their creation.
As the day grewte, ke called them back to the hotel.
Lilly, feeling hungry after their ytime, happily scampered along the garden path, clutching a small
bucket and a shovel, and headed towards the hotel.
Anthony handed the phone with the photos he took to Lisa. When she saw herself in the images, she

momentarily froze.
Then, she erupted into gleefulughter, tightly gripping the phone and refusing to let go as she
continued to admire the photos.
Lisa, Lilly, Hannah, Drake, Josh, Zachary, and Anthony were in the picture, with Anthony holding the
mobile phone close to the camera.
However, as Lisa observed the photo, the screen turned off.
She quickly tugged on Anthony, gesturing for him to turn on the screen once again.
Anthony helped her turn the phone on.
Lisa stared at it intently, and after a brief pause, Anthony helped her unlock it again.
During their journey back to the hotel, Anthony took the phone and casually mentioned, "The password
to unlock the phone is 0315. Remember that."
Lisa raised her eyes and gazed at him with a nk expression.
Anthony held one of her fingers, pressing it gently against the screen, and patiently instructed, "0-3-1-5
represents March 15th, which happens to be Lilly''s birthday."
His hands were strong and well-structured, he held Lisa''s delicate and pale finger, tapping the four
numbers on the screen.
The phone screen flickered to life.
Anthony turned off the phone again and repeated the process.
"Did you get it?" he inquired.
Lisa suddenly understood.
She got it!
Clutching the phone in her hand, she clumsily entered the password. Each time the screen turned on,
she gleefully turned it off and tried again… Repeating the sequence with enthusiasm.
Anthony did not mind and allowed her to y with the phone. Lisa even refused to take a bath when
she was asked to do so. She was obsessed with the phone.
Upon seeing her aunt like this, Lilly shook his head and said, "Oh no!"
Josh expressed surprise, saying, "I never expected my mom to be this addicted to phones!"
Who would have thought that unlocking the screen would be this interesting?
Drake took the phone from Lisa and said sternly, "Go and take a shower. I''ll give you the phone after
you''re done."
Lisa red angrily at Drake and then turned her gaze towards Lilly, feeling aggrieved.
Lilly waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Don''t look at me. I listen to Drake!"
Lisa nced at Anthony once more.
Anthony pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "Go and take a bath."
But I don''t want to…
Bettany appeared at that moment and took Lilly in her arms, bringing her away to take a bath and
change her clothes. Noticing Lisa was dirty, she was surprised and eximed, "Did you roll in the
sand? Go and take a bath quickly. We''ll celebrate Lilly''s birthday once you''re done."
Lisa obediently left to take a bath.
As expected, no one could escape Bettany''s authority.
The hotel was opulent and grand, built to a tinum five-star standard. In the lobby, there was a
musical fountain, and the hotel spanned 30 floors, with guest rooms located above the fifth floor and a
shoppingplex below.
Despite being on a small ind, it felt like it was first ss.
Lilly''s fifth birthday party was held at the State Banquet Hall on the fifth floor. The hall was spacious,
covering several hundred square feet, and all drinks and food were free.
Among the guests were children aged three and above, still innocent, cute, and adorable. The four-
year-olds were mischievous, cute, and a bit peculiar.
There were also photos of Lilly taken recently, who had just turned five. Her beautiful eyes appeared
even livelier. Additionally, there were group photos featuring her with her father, siblings, uncles,
grandparents, and others.
Mabel heard that the restaurant on the fifth floor was offering free service that today, so she brought
Yena downstairs, only to realize upon arrival that it was Lilly''s fifth birthday party.
"It''s really luxurious," Mabelmented sourly.
Yena had changed into clean clothes, her hair freshly washed and adorned with bowknot hair clips on
both sides. The rest of her long hair flowed freely, giving her adylike yet adorable appearance.
As they made their way through, Yena garnered attention from passers-by. However, once they arrived
at the party...
Everyone was captivated by Lilly''s photos!
Just the photo of Lilly took away her brilliance…
Yena could not help but feel envious as she gazed at thevish scene before her. Everyone cheered
and celebrated Lilly''s birthday with great enthusiasm.
Lilly, adorned in a pink tutu skirt and a princess crown, was surrounded by her father, uncles, and
grandparents. Her radiant smile won the hearts of everyone present.
Why couldn''t Yena be the one shining so brilliantly?
Yena lowered her head, holding the ss ball in her hand with a tinge of resentment.
A stage was set up in front of the restaurant. Anthony delivered a speech, weing everyone to
Saffron Ind and exining that it was Lilly''s birthday, referring to her as the little princess of the
Crawford family. He expressed his hope that everyone would have a wonderful time.
Then, a grand cake with multipleyers was brought forth, and the audience erupted into joyfulughter
as they sang the happy birthday song.
The moment Lilly blew out the candles, the crowd erupted in cheers and apuse. Some even twisted
their bodies in celebration, causing sequins to scatter across the stage.
Lilly held the microphone and spoke in her innocent voice, "Thank you, everyone! I also wish all of you
peace and happiness, I hope all of you will be happy forever!"
Mabel took a bite of the soft cake and scoffed, "She didn''t wish everyone properly. Who would wish
everyone peace on their birthday?"
Yena silently urged her mother, "Mom, please stop."
Mabel frowned, "You''re the same as Lilly. Why are you so different? Some people were just destined to
live a good life."
Yena''s thoughts turned to the reflections she had seen in the mirror.
Was Lilly truly destined to have a fortunate life and a blessed existence?
The ghostly figure iming to be her mother had revealed that it was Lilly who had altered the Book of
Life, stealing all the good things for herself.
As Yena looked at the birthday celebration unfolding before her, suddenly, Lilly''s face transformed into
her reflection.
This was meant to belong to her.
Initially, she was destined to be born into the Crawford family with ke as her father and Jean as her
mother. However, Lilly took her rightful ce, causing ke to be her uncle instead.
Yena reached her breaking point and angrily tossed the ss ball she held in her hand.
Was it some extravagant birthday celebration? Yena did not want Lilly to bask in her pride!
She desired to present Lilly with a grand gift, fueled by the jealousy concealed within her eyes.
Yena silently observed as the ck ss ball rolled away...
