Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 Meeting a Ghost

The old lady was in great pain and felt sorry for her daughter.

However, her son was not married yet, and his partner wanted a 200000 dollar dowry. If Claire did not help him out, what would happen to her son’s marriage?

She thought of a story and it was about an old lady’s eldest son selling umbrellas while her youngest son sold salt. The old lady was worried that no one would buy the umbrellas her eldest son sold if the weather was pleasant. At the same time, she was also worried that her youngest son could not sell salt if it was raining.

Claire’s mother felt like she was the old lady in the story as she was worried that her daughter was going to get divorced and her son would not be able to get married if her daughter did not pay for his dowry.

Claire’s mother was in so much pain.

The old lady was wiping her tears in her room while her husband continued nagging. He was blaming his daughter for not being willing to spend money on him and not knowing how to take care of her brother…

The siblings were arguing about money in the living room.

The foolish ghost clinging to the old man stretched comfortably while humming a tune. The more it. hummed, the happier he was.

It was difficult for evil spirits to find a host.

He was lucky enough to come across a handful of them.

Turned out he found a family of fools and would be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life!

The foolish ghost stretched himself thin and wrapped his feet around the man’s head. It was ready to cling to his next host, Claire.

After the old man died, it wanted to attach to Claire as it already filled Claire with a bad aura.

When it touched her, it heard a sizzling sound!

The foolish ghost withdrew his hand in, then looked at the talisman and sneered!

“It seems that I was targeted by a priest. Hahaha, I won’t be caught that easily!”

I’m not afraid of you!

The foolish ghost picked up the talisman and blew on it.

Claire and Ken could not reach an agreement, so she picked up her bag and left. She was living at her parent’s home as she was deciding on buying a burial plot for her father.

After the old man was discharged from the hospital, she often came over to cook for the old man. Ken had no money to buy vegetables, so he ate with his parents. She was afraid that her mother could not afford to buy good food, and that her father could not eat well.

She thought of her three–year–old daughter, whom she had ignored for a long time…

Before her daughter’s holiday, she sent her to kindergarten in the morning, went to work during the day,

and rushed back to her parent’s house at noon and evening to cook for them.

During the holidays, Claire could not take care of her, so she sent her daughter to the countryside with her grandparents.

She sacrificed so much, but her family members took it for granted.

Claire could not stop crying upon thinking of this.

Her house was a few blocks away from her parents‘ house. Claire was upset and did not want to take a car, so she walked home in a dull mood.

Usually, she could hear the sound of cars. However, Claire felt something amiss.

The area was quiet, there were no pedestrians and no cars too.

Westalia Road was a road opposite the community, and that community was located between Virbank River and Westalia Road. There were no schools or business districts, so there were very few people at night.

However, there was a traffic light on Westalia Road. There would usually be cars around but there were no cars at that moment.

Claire realized that today was the Ghost Festival, and felt scared.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew and stroked her hair. She found that her hand was covered with soot!

Claire was so frightened that her face turned pale, she took out her phone and called her husband.

“I… I’m on Westalia Road, can you pick me up…”

Her husband answered indifferently, “I don’t have time, I’m in a meeting,”

After that, he hung up the phone.

Claire felt her heart sting, and tears rushed out.
