Chapter 35: Found
Chapter 35: Found
Lauren gradually opened up to Franklin in the past few days. She knew that Franklin didn’t really hate her, so she dared to play with him.
Now, she was staring at him with her round eyes.
“Lauren didn’t go over just because she disliked the hair that Franklin tied.” Lauren put her hands on her hips and started to show off like before. “I just asked that auntie and she said there’s no no. 119 here.”
“We’re stupid too. Zelda must have had another purpose when she first joined the Torres family. How could she have put her real information there?”
Franklin narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything.
“Then what do we do now? This town doesn’t look small. If we go door-to-door to slowly look for her, we’ll definitely have to search for a long time. By then, Zelda would have already escaped.”
Lauren seemed to have no other choice. She stood beside Franklin with a bun on her head.
“I’ve got it,” Franklin said. “There are two methods. When Lambert’s accident happened, the Torres Corporation also contacted his family. I can ask the people there to look for information from that year.”
“The second method is more effective though. When Lambert’s accident happened, the people in this town will be talking about it. Maybe many reporters will go to interview him and ask the people here. I think some people will know the address of Lambert’s home.”
Even if they didn’t know the exact location, they should be able to get it by asking around.
“Wow, Franklin, you’ve become smarter! Great! As expected, people who often stay with Master Lauren will become smarter!”
“It’s not that I’ve become smarter, I’m just hiding my strength.” Franklin, who had finally shown his intelligence in this matter, raised his proud head.
“Ben, go ask for directions. We’ll wait for you in the car.”
“Yes, young master.”
Then, Franklin grabbed Lauren’s bun and walked towards the car.
After getting into the car, Franklin undid Lauren’s beautiful bun and said, “Look, your bun is in a mess. Let me put it on again for you.”
Lauren, who had seen through everything, was speechless.
She finally knew that the speechless sound of the Crows in the TV series was real. For example, the System Divine Nine was currently in Lauren’s brain, in three-dimensional form, and it was surrounding the crows.
Ben quickly returned with some useful news.
As he backed up, he said, “It turns out that we’re both in the wrong place. I heard from an uncle that Lambert’s family did live in this neighborhood before, but after Lambert passed away, his family couldn’t stand the harassment and moved to the town next door.”
The two towns were not far from each other. They arrived after walking a circle on the winding mountain road.
This time, they asked as they walked, and soon found Lambert’s family.
Ben walked at the front and knocked on the door according to the address given by the neighbors.
An old man’s voice came from inside, “Coming! Coming!” Then there was the sound of heavy and somewhat hurried footsteps.
The person who came to open the door was an old man in his seventies. His hair was white and his face was full of wrinkles, but he looked very kind.
A head popped out from behind him. It was a little girl with short hair.
Lauren thought that this must be Lambert’s father and daughter.
“Who are you?” This old man had obviously not seen strangers for a long time, let alone knocking on his door directly. He was a little flustered for a moment.
“Hello, is Zelda your daughter-in-law?”
“Yes, did something happen to her?” The old man was even more anxious.
“No, no, don’t worry. The person behind me is Franklin, Zelda’s current employer. We are here to ask some questions.”
It seemed that there were only the two of them at home. It seemed that Zelda had not come back yet.
Franklin had also sent people to check on Zelda’s travel records earlier. He found that Zelda had indeed used her own ID to buy a ticket home. She should still be on the way.
“Where’s Zelda?” The old man was still a little wary of these people. He stretched out a hand to protect his granddaughter behind him.
Ben was also nervous. This… How could he continue to lie? He couldn’t possibly tell the old man that Lambert’s ghost had been captured by Miss Torres and that Zelda had escaped, could he?
It was likely that he would be able to scare the old man into fainting.
Lauren took a step forward. It was time for Lauren, who was loved by everyone, to take action again.
“Hello, grandfather. My name is Lauren.”
The little girl who was hiding behind the old man walked out a little and looked straight at Lauren.
