Chapter 13: Brother Was a Big Idiot
Chapter 13: Brother Was a Big Idiot
Lifting his blanket, Franklin rushed downstairs in his pajamas and with his hair still messy. He was worried that Lauren would be bullied, but when he went downstairs, he saw Mr. Hayes and Lauren sitting opposite each other.
Mr. Hayes was comforting Lauren. “Miss Lauren, this… whoever wins or loses with scissors, paper and stone depends on luck. I don’t want to win all the time.”
“Boo hoo, I don’t care. Grandpa must let me win once!”
Franklin was speechless.
He thought something had happened, but in the end, it was just because this little fellow had lost in the game of scissors, paper and stone.
He lowered his head to look at himself. He didn’t even have time to put on his slippers just now. How embarrassing! If his younger brother Quinn saw him in this manner, he would definitely be ridiculed for several years.
Just as Franklin was about to sneak back to his room, the maids had already noticed him.
“Good morning, Master Franklin.”
The maids who were cleaning the vases at the side had also observed him for a long time before they could confirm that this man in plaid pajamas was the Eldest Young Master who was always serious.
The other maids had also noticed Franklin.
Thus, more than ten maids on the first floor of the Torres residence shouted together, “Good morning, Master Franklin.”
…
After being yelled at by everyone, Lauren also knew that Franklin had woken up.
Sliding down from the high sofa chair, Lauren ran to Franklin barefooted, she grabbed Franklin’s hand and shook it.
“Brother, Grandpa bullied me. Sob, sob… I keep losing, I keep losing!”
[System Divine Nine: Host, why did you turn off the divination function? Turn on the divination function. You can win with any game, not to mention this game of scissors, paper and stone.]]
Lauren’s prophet level had already reached level 20. In the past when her level was low, her prophecy ability was weak and her accuracy was inconsistent, sometimes high and sometimes low.
But now that she was at level 20, she could already predict 100% in advance what would happen in the next five minutes.
Of course, the things she predicted would not be too specific, but she could identify dangerous things and stop them in time.
As her level increased, her control over this ability also became stronger. Lauren could now freely activate or disable this ability.
“Little Nine, play the game fair! You don’t even understand this!” Although she knew that losing was inevitable, Lauren was still very sad after losing more than ten times.
She didn’t even cry when she was bitten at the age of three while trying to get rid of two vampires. But now, she was crying like a baby.
Franklin lowered his head and looked at Lauren on his leg. Bean-sized tears were still hanging on her face, sparkling and translucent.
The little fellow had lived in the church for four years. She was raised well. At first, she looked sallow and thin, but now she was fair and chubby. One could tell that she was extremely healthy.
Subconsciously, Franklin wanted to use his hand to help Lauren wipe away her tears.
Her face was soft, and he really wanted to pinch it!
After living for twenty-two years, this was the first time Franklin knew there was such a passionate and wild side of himself.
Of course, he controlled himself.
“How can you blame Mr. Hayes for bullying you when you lose? Your skills are inferior to others.”
“That’s right, Master Franklin is right. Miss Torres, it really isn’t me bullying you,” Mr. Hayes echoed from the side.
Lauren’s big watery eyes swept between the two of them, tightening Franklin’s grip.
“I don’t care. Big brother, you play with me once, okay?”
Without waiting for Franklin’s reaction, the servants subconsciously took a deep breath. How was it possible for the Chairman of the country’s number one Torres Corporation to play scissors, paper and stone with a little girl.
Even if Franklin had fired Hubert King because of Lauren the day before, it was only to maintain the Torres family’s reputation. Franklin would definitely scold Lauren for making this request.
However, something shocking happened again!
Franklin Torres actually squatted down and played scissors, paper and stone with Lauren!
“Yay! I win! Hahahaha, you’re the big idiot, I am the smart one!”
Lauren jumped happily on the spot. The entire Torres residence suddenly seemed to be filled with vitality that was not there in the past.
Franklin returned to his room to wash up. When he saw his curved lips in the mirror, he realized that he was smiling.
He was a little embarrassed by this discovery. He rubbed his face and returned to his usual expressionless face.
The Torres Corporation was spread all over the world, but its headquarters was in country Z. As the highest-ranking decision-maker, Franklin had a lot of work to do. As usual, he changed his clothes and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
After Hubert was fired, he had yet to find a suitable chef for the time being, so this time, the breakfast was directly sent over by the hotel. All kinds of snacks were placed on the table.
In the past, Franklin was the only one eating. Now, there was an additional little fellow opposite him.
Although Lauren was already sitting on the chair, she was still very short. From Franklin’s angle, he could only see her round head.
