Chapter 307 Lilly’s Plea

Lilly was eating watermelon when she noticed everyone saying goodbye. She then raised her head, “Huh?”

Why are we going back now?

She did not want to go home…

Lilly missed the opportunity to hir Grace, or rather, she missed the chance to discuss the doll with her.

Jonas. “Alright then, goodbye,”

Sporting a faint smile, he donned a black suit adorned with exquisite, shimmering diamonds, an ensemble that exuded a subdued yet opulent aura. Despite his courteous appearance, there was still a hint of roguishness about him.

It did not look like he was afraid of that place and wanted to leave at all…

Lilly thought about it for a moment, “Whatever,”

Jonas was her uncle after all.

If Jonas wanted to go home, Lilly would take him home.

She would talk about the doll with Gracie… No, Grace the next time!

“Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Woods!” Lilly waved, “Goodbye, Quinnie!”

At that moment, Grace was staring at Lilly silently by the railing.

Lilly rolled smiled and waved at her, “Goodbye, Gracie!”

Grace was speechless.

I told her my name isn’t Gracie!

Despite her parents and sisters referring to her as Gracie, Lilly’s usage of that name only intensifies her disdain for it.

Lilly looked for Josh the moment she reached home.

“Spring Friends Community?” Josh was stunned, “What’s wrong with them?”

Lilly whispered in his ear, “They make dolls using human ashes,”

Josh was taken aback.

Instead of leaping to his feet, a shiver ran down his spine, causing goosebumps to cover his body. He could even sense the hairs on the top of his head bristle with an unsettling sensation.

“Spring… Friends right?”

Josh powered up the computer, mustering the strength to steady his trembling fingers, and proceeded to type the name into the search box.

On the internet, Josh came across a brief introduction to the doll community. What struck him as odd was that numerous doll clubs provided detailed self–introductions and showcased a wide array of completed doll images.

Apart from their address, phone number, and a handful of pictures featuring classic dolls, there was nothing else of substance available.

As Josh revisited the forum, he looked at it carefully and said, “This doll community has chosen a niche path… It’s pretty popular, and their dolls are highly realistic and they have lots of positive reviews from the customer… However, each doll comes with a hefty price,”

He pointed to one of the photos, “This doll is very popular on the Internet. It is very famous in the doll lovers‘ community. It’s made by Spring Friends too. The doll’s name is Coco. The price of the doll is one million dollars…not including costumes and accessories,”

Josh delved deeper into his research on the doll, meticulously factoring in the costs of accessories and other additional items. To his astonishment, the total price amounted to over five million dollars.

Although the people in the doll lovers‘ community liked dolls very much, there were not that many people who could spend that much money to make a doll.

Lilly looked at the photo and gasped, “This is Quinnie’s doll!”

Josh reacted, “Uhh…”

The dolls were of good quality. However, the people who made them had bad intentions.

He asked Lilly, “Would you like to visit their store?”

Lilly nodded, “Yes.”

Josh to check the time and route, “It’s in the central office building of Pearl District, we can have a look.

tomorrow,”

Lilly asked, “Can we sneak over the wall?”

Josh’s mouth twitched.

That won’t work…

Although his uncle was awesome and could carry both of them on his shoulders while climbing the wall, he would be busy during the day, just like the other uncles.

If they asked their Grandma to go with them, she would watch their every move and it would be difficult for them to act.

“Let’s go find

go find my brother!”

Even though they were both children, their grandma seemed to view his brother differently. In her eyes, his brother was perhaps perceived more like an adult.

Drake was in the room.

Upon hearing their plans to go shopping at Pearl District the following day, he did not even bother to raise his eyelids as he curtly replied, “No.”

He did not like shopping and crowded places.

Lilly begged, “Would you please take us there, Drake? I’ll bring you to a less crowded place!”

She also knew that Drake did not like crowded places.

She would take him to a place filled with ghosts and guarantee that there would not be too many people
