Chapter 42: Ran Away From Home
Chapter 42: Ran Away From Home
Lauren could not figure it out, and she did not want to continue thinking about it.
Quinn’s attitude made her unhappy, but Franklin’s attitude made her feel even more disappointed and wronged.
The phone in her hand suddenly rang again, and she pressed the answer button.
“Is it Miss Lauren?” It was Ben’s voice on the other end. Ben’s voice had already returned to normal, and there was no longer the fear and panic from before.
After the incident just now, Lauren almost forgot about Ben. She restrained her emotions.
There were still many things in this world that were worth her hard work. The Torres family did not like her, but the people she had saved would be grateful to her.
“It’s me, Uncle Ben. What happened to you just now?”
“About this…I’ll tell you about this when I get back. I’ve already gotten the videotape, and I’m on my way to the Torres Mansion now.”
“Okay, Uncle Ben, drive carefully.”
After hanging up the phone, Lauren jumped off the bed and began to pack her things.
[System Divine Nine: Host, what are you doing? Are you planning to move out?]
Lauren’s hands moved non-stop. She had only been here for a few days and did not have much. She put all the dolls that she had brought back from the amusement park that day into her little pink bag.
“That’s right. It’s not like I don’t have a place to stay. Since my brothers…since they don’t like me, I wouldn’t like them either! I am going to live at Dream Villa. I heard from Mr. Scott Kennedy, the manager, that Dream Villa is very beautiful now. It’s full of cherry blossoms.”
Without Lauren’s dolls, the room suddenly became much emptier.
This room was originally the guest room of the mansion. Without Lauren’s little pink toys, it lost its vitality in an instant, leaving behind a monotonous black, white and gray.
[System Divine Nine: Do you want to tell Franklin about it? ]
Climbing up and down, Lauren huffed and puffed as she tidied up. Her small face was flushed and her eyes were a little swollen from crying just now. Anyone who saw her would probably want to go up and pinch her cheeks.
“No! He doesn’t care about me anyway. He should be very happy that I am gone, right?”
System Divine Nine was also silent.
This time, Lauren had not intended to return either. When she was back, she wanted to use her own ability to save Maria Julian, but the members of the Torres family did not know her intentions at all.
If it were anyone else, they probably would not swallow this grievance. Not to mention Lauren had been doted on since young?
Although Lauren was still a little kid, she was stubborn. The System Divine Nine was well aware of her master’s temper, so it did not try to persuade her much. In any case, she always had a way.
For all the rewards she had collected over the years, it was possible for her to build a business empire that was similar to the Torres family’s and find a place to settle down by relying on her own abilities.
After looking around the room and confirming that nothing was left behind, Lauren went downstairs.
Ben had not arrived yet, so Lauren took the opportunity to look for Mr. Hayes.
She could feel Mr. Hayes’s sincerity and love for her. Lauren could never bear to hurt someone like him.
The moment Mr. Hayes saw Lauren, he rushed forward.
“Miss Torres, how…how are you feeling? Don’t take the words of Master Franklin and Master Quinn to heart. They are only worried about Madam’s health. They didn’t mean to say that on purpose.”
Mr. Hayes’s body was a little hunched. His eyes were filled with kindness as he looked at Lauren.
“Grandpa Hayes, I have a present for you.” Lauren blinked, not wanting to recall what had just happened.
Mr. Hayes said, “For me? What is it?”
Lauren’s chubby little hand reached into the small pink bag and started digging again.
“Miss Torres, I see that you always carry this bag on your back. Do you like it very much? If you like it, I’ll get someone to make you a few more identical ones.”
Mr. Hayes liked Lauren very much. He could not help but laugh when he saw Lauren furrow her brows and search for something in detail.
“No, it’s different. My bag is unique! Ah, I found it!” Lauren fished out the item with a swish.
A silver object was reflecting the light from the chandelier. It was a little blinding.
It was not until Lauren placed the object in Mr. Hayes’s hand that he finally saw what it was. It was actually a key.
It was not an ordinary key. It had the same appearance as other keys, but it was obvious that it was made of expensive materials. It looked extremely exquisite and had the three letters “TLL” on it.
