Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 1498

In the kitchen, Bettany was cooking alongside Margaret.

Margaret suggested, "Mrs. Crawford, you should take a break. I can handle this."

Cooking for a large family was a lot of work, and Margaret was concerned that Bettany would tire herself out.

Bettany shook her head. "You know me. I take pleasure in preparing meals for the children myself."

Margaret replied, "Alright then."

Bettany continued, "This is the mantis shrimp Lilly brought back..."

Even though it had been meticulously cleaned and prepared, a single piece of mantis shrimp meat was larger than a king crab.

"Let's cook it with spaghetti!" she muttered to herself.

Margaret asked, "What about this beef... are we still stewing it?"

Bettany responded, "Yes, let's stew the beef with radish!" She added, "Have the radishes been washed?"

Margaret, busy on the other side, replied, "Yes, they have."

So, Bettany casually picked up a radish and placed it on the chopping board.

Just then, Radley jumped in through the window from the third floor, slipped, and knocked the radish off the chopping board. As it was about to get up, a hand suddenly held it down.

At that moment, she gripped the radish, lifted her knife, and started lowering it.

"Holy crap!" the radish exclaimed, recoiling in fright. "You can't cut me!"

Taken aback, she never expected the radish she was just about to cut to start talking. With a clatter, the startled Bettany dropped her kitchen knife, narrowly avoiding cutting off her toes.

Radley scrambled up in a panic and dashed outside.

After hearing the noise, Margaret turned around. In an instant, she spotted something rushing toward her, leading to an involuntary drop of what she was holding.

Outside the kitchen, there was a larger vegetable washing basin. The King of Styx had just finished washing the vegetables and was about to return to the kitchen. Upon hearing the commotion in the kitchen, he hurried in to see what was happening, only to have his basket of vegetables kicked away by the fleeing Radley.

The King of Styx exclaimed, "What the heck is that!" When he noticed his food about to be ruined, his eyes turned red, and his hunting instincts kicked in. He raised his hand, drew out a weapon, and slashed at Radley.

The radish pleaded, "Wait... wait a minute!" It wondered, Oh my god! Is it because I saw Lilly's uncle earlier? First a kitchen knife, and now a spiked club—this is too harsh. Swearing frantically, it continued, "I will never peek again! I absolutely won't target acquaintances again. Holy crap, stop!"

The commotion in the kitchen was so loud that Lilly appeared in a flash. What she saw was a complete mess. The King of Styx swung a big club, chasing and hitting Radley.

Suddenly, a white barrier lit up in the kitchen. Fearing that Radley would ruin all the food, the King of Styx immediately summoned a magical artifact to protect the dishes. This magical artifact seemed to be his trump card, and the radish didn't manage to escape in time. "I'll teach you a lesson for ruining my Christmas Eve dinner! How dare you peek at acquaintances? Let me give you a good beating!"

When Radley spotted Lilly, it pleaded, "Young master, save me..."
