Chapter 273: How Did You Know Samuel?
Ruby was surprised for a moment. "How did you know that the little girl was Rene? Did you see the words on the back?"
Lauren wasn't sure if Ruby wanted her to see the words on the back. Therefore, Lauren chose to keep it a secret. "Huh? What are you talking about? I have seen this little girl before. My eldest brother is studying at Thomas Johnson High School. One of his classmates is called Samuel, whose sister's name is Rene."
Ruby was excited, but Lauren had no idea it was because of Samuel or Rene.
"Your eldest brother knows Samuel?" asked Ruby.
Lauren nodded. "Yeah. My eldest brother and Samuel are good friends in high school. They even participated in a lot of competitions together. I have many photos of them at home."
Lauren saw Ruby's hand that was clutching the blanket turned white. Ruby seemed very excited.
She looked up at Lauren, and her eyes lit up.
"Then can I stay with you?" Ruby asked.
"Of course! I want you to." Lauren said happily.
Then, she hesitated for a moment. "But can I ask you a question? How did you know Samuel?"
Lauren didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Ruby was a little flustered.
"Well, I met Rene when I was in kindergarten. We used to play together, so of course I know her brother. Rene and Samuel are both very good people!"
When Ruby said this, a smile appeared on her face.
Lauren didn't know how to describe Ruby's smile in words.
Ruby had a very nostalgic and warm smile as if she was an elder.
Lauren nodded. There was a doubt in her heart, but she didn't say it.
Since Ruby said that Rene was a good person, Lauren couldn't understand why Ruby crossed out the words on the back of the photo. Wasn't Ruby good friends with Rene?
Who did it if it wasn't Ruby?
No matter what, the thing was settled.
When Lauren returned home, she told the good news to Franklin excitedly.
"Ruby agreed to live with me. That's great. She can play with me. Franklin, let's go to the mall to buy some new clothes for Ruby!" said Lauren.
Lauren kept talking.
Franklin nodded. "Okay, okay, okay. It's all up to you."
Lauren was so happy that she whimpered.
When Lauren and Franklin reached home, Quinn just arrived. However, Quinn wasn't unscathed.
There was an obvious bruise on his forehead, and it was so swollen that he grimaced in pain.
When Hublot saw this, he quickly went up to Quinn and asked someone to bring the first-aid kit down.
"Mr. Quinn, your forehead is so swollen. Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup? I'm worried that you will be disfigured," demanded Hublot.
Quinn waved his hand. "It's not a big deal. I just got hit by a lamp that suddenly fell. Boil an egg for me and rub it on my face."
"What happened?" Franklin glanced at Quinn. "Wasn't the studio just gentrified? How come the lamp would fall off?"
Quinn had been running around recently. Every morning, he had to go to the studio to observe the renovation process.
Hublot applied some potion on Quinn's wound. "I don't know either," Quinn answered. "This is weird. The lights were installed by those workers yesterday. And today, the lamp suddenly fell down when I was setting up the studio. If I hadn't reacted quickly, the lamp would have hit somewhere else. I'm so lucky!"
A servant brought the boiled egg over, wrapped it in a cloth, and handed the egg to Quinn. He took the egg and rubbed it on his forehead.
After that, Quinn took out his phone.
"Oh! Do you guys know the trending topic of today?" he inquired.
Franklin shook his head. "I don't know."
Lauren shook her head as well. "I don't know either."
"Well, I know that you are busy people," jeered Quinn.
Franklin picked up the newspaper, sat on the sofa, and casually flipped through it. Then, he said nonchalantly, "Yeah, I'm really busy today. I earned 16 million dollars. Oh! There was more than that. I also sold a piece of land at the price of 8 million dollars."
Lauren was in a playful mood. She picked up the tabloid newspaper that the servants enjoyed reading and then sat down next to Franklin.
"Well, it was indeed a busy day today. I learned a little bit about linear algebra in class," said Lauren.
The newspaper was very big.. When Lauren smoothed it out, she was covered up by the newspaper.
