Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 77

May Lee burst into tears after being spat out.

"She ate me! She actually ate me!"

"We're both spirits that have been caught but here she is trying to bully me."

The vanity spirit was pinned down by an invisible pressure that rendered her immobile. She smiled coldly. "I do what I want! None of you are getting any kind of peace."

Her eyes were red as she stared at Lilly…

Pablo suddenly smacked the back of her head,

"That's my disciple you're trying to threaten there!"

The vanity spirit's head came flying off from the impact and rolled to Josh's feet.

Lilly gaped as she watched the stray head tumbling up to her cousin.

Josh gulped. "What are you looking up…?"

Lilly pointed at the vanity spirit's head: "Ms. Sumo Wrestler's head fell off. It's under your feet right now!"

"..." He abruptly stood up and sat down next to Lilly.

"The seat isn't very comfortable. I think I should just stay here instead."

She nodded. "Okay."

He wasn't even going to try explaining himself anymore.

With a flick of Pablo's wrist, the head flew back over to him.

He sat cross-legged, propped up his chin, and asked, "How did you die?"

The vanity spirit scoffed. "I'm not telling you anything."

He smacked her head and sent it bouncing before tugging it back again. It was as if he were toying with a yo-yo.

"Why did you die?"

The spirit's head was buzzing.

She could rip her head off just fine but it didn't mean she could get out unscathed with Pablo smacking her around. It was clear he was no ordinary spirit!

"What…" The vanity spirit grew irritated.

Pablo braced himself to do it again. "Oh, you still won't talk?"

"..."

Were they playing?

Lilly watched them with wide eyes.

You can do that…?

What am I learning all this for?

"Come here, Tulip." Pablo beckoned Lilly.

The vanity spirit, recalling Lilly had wrestled her to the ground immediately said, "Alright. I'll talk! Don't hurt me."

Lilly was far more frightening compared to Pablo…

She had no chance against the little girl.

She helplessly began, "My name is Roxanne Larson. I was a rich woman who came from old money…"

Lilly suddenly asked, "Really?"

The vanity spirit held her breath before ultimately saying, "I worked my way up the ladder…"

Both Lilly and Pablo didn't believe her.

Lilly's intuition told her that the spirit was lying.

Pablo was speechless. The vanity spirit was worthy of her name. She was vain even when threatened.

The spirit finally had no choice but to offer the truth. "I was an employee at a printing factory when I was still alive."

It turned out she indeed worked at a printing factory and spent her days at the workshop.

Luck was on her side. One night, she ran into the manager's daughter who was kind enough to offer her a ride home. The two became fast friends.

That batch of clothes allowed more luxury dresses to come her way.

She wore a halter dress from GUOLHJ, carried around a YSHGD bag, and wore shoes by DHEJ.

A mere cup of Starbucks cost her a day's worth of wages!

"How can such a man still live in that ten-room dormitory at the factory? It's not worth it to me at all!"

Pablo was speechless.

She forgot who she really was after having the luxury of clothing right at her door.

"What happened after?" Lilly propped up her chin as she listened to Roxanne retell her story.

"I wanted to rent a home. The housing agent noticed how I was dressed in luxury items and introduced me to high-end apartments…"

The agent's fawning and envious glances, as well as compliments on her pale skin and beauty, gave her a ruthless satisfaction of vanity.

Of course, she was pale. She was in the printing factory day in and day out, leaving at 7 in the morning and returning at 11.

How could she not be pale?

She really thought herself to be a rich woman amidst the barrage of compliments.

"So, I rented an apartment for five thousand a month…"

She regretted it after signing the contract but there was nothing she could do when the agent was watching her with such eagerness.

Despite having wasted a decade away at the factory, all her overtime only amounted to three thousand a month…

Lilly started to count. "Your salary is three thousand, the rent is five thousand. That means you still need…"

Josh answered, "Two thousand."

Lilly was shocked. "That's so much money! How did you make up the difference?"

Roxanne smiled bitterly. "Yes. How did I make up the difference…"

She had to pay a deposit of three months, leading to her having to fork out twenty thousand from the get-go.

All she had was a thousand…
