Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 117

A woman was standing outside the door and next to her was Blake.

Blake was holding a sharp knife against the woman's neck.

It was none other than Ashley.

“Don't move,” Blake said with a hint of killing intent.

Ashley's eyes widen and she said repeatedly said, “Don't chop off my head… Don't chop off my head…”

Blake recalled that she was also scared out of her mind when the kitchen knife flew toward her in the afternoon. She was also chanting the same words.

A normal one would be saying ‘Don’t kill me’ or ‘Help’ when a knife was against their neck.

This woman is weird.

“Who are you?” Blake asked.

Ashley looked paled as she answered, “I’m Ashley.”

Blake and Anthony looked at each other.

Anthony asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ashley stammered, “I… I couldn't sleep at night and happened to hear the commotion…”

Her eyes landed on Josh, “It seems to be the voice of Josh. Is he alright?”

“There’s nothing wrong. Go back.” Anthony ordered.

Blake heard him and withdrew the sharp knife.

Ashley let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Blake before saying, “Yes, I’m going back now.”

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Josh, “Dad, what's going on?”

Anthony lowered his voice, “The room where the servants rest is at the other end of the mansion. Even if you shouted, she couldn't have heard it and come over so quickly.”

The soundproofing effect of the Crawford mansion was very good. Otherwise, the rest of the Crawford family have been woken up by Josh banging on the door, except for the special Blake.

“Next, there are so many children in this mansion. How does she know that the person shouting is you?”

It was hard to tell who was who when little children screamed, not to mention the fact that the three boys have almost similar voices.

Ashley could know that it was Josh’s with a scream. Which was way too suspicious.

These two points were enough to prove that she was lying.

Josh linked the points and asked nervously, “Daddy, do you mean that it was her who was in my room?”

Anthony nodded and phoned Jack to ask him to check the surveillance camera.

However, they had no luck as the recording was stopped by someone.

Josh felt fearful. People with weird actions were scarier than spirits.

Anthony looked up at Blake and Blake looked back. They were thinking of the same thing.

Blake nodded his head and raised his voice slightly, “Then I'll go back to my room first.”

“Alright,” Anthony said.

“Dad, I want to sleep in your room.” Josh requested.

Anthony agreed and brought Josh to his room.

The Crawford mansion was silent again.

A few moments later, the door on the first floor was pushed open and a figure floated in silently.

Anthony was about to speak but he felt something. He turned and stared at the door.

Josh followed and tensed up.

A door would always have a small gap below otherwise it would create friction with the floor from opening and closing the door. They could see someone standing outside from the gap.

A few moments later the shadow moved toward the front and soon disappeared.

Josh nearly pissed himself due to the fright.

Lilly’s room.

She was sleeping soundly when a sudden gust of wind blew on her cheeks. Polly also made some deep squeaky noises on the balcony. Parrots would make this sound in the middle of the night when they were touched by other creatures that pose threats to them.

Soon, the sound was gone.

Lilly opened her eyes and blankly stared at the ceiling.

Her eyelids were half closed and she was half asleep.

The surroundings were quiet. When the door was gently opened, Lilly looked over in confusion as she heard it.

She saw a figure coming in, gradually approaching her…

Lilly could clearly see the figure walking to her bedside, staring straight at her.

Suddenly, Lilly asked out loud, “Aunt Ashley, what are you doing?”

Ashley was shocked by the childish voice in the dark. She shrieked.

“Ahh!”

She backed up hurriedly but ended up stepping on something that made a loud noise.
