Lauren started to suspect.

Was Quinn really Bryce’s biological brother?

Why would a biological brother want to set up his own brother and put him in danger?

Lauren was worried about her own safety.

Lauren looked at Franklin. He didn’t say anything throughout the whole process. It was as if he had tacitly agreed to this ridiculous plan.

“Franklin, do you agree to this plan?”

Franklin nodded.

“In any case, there’s no other way now. Although this plan looks pretty bad, it’s still worth a try.”

“Alright then. Since both of you said so, then I’ll just do it.”

“What’s the specific plan?”

“It’s simple. We can imitate it based on previous experience. Franklin was almost hit by a vase last time. Let’s use something to hit Bryce this time.”

“But what if something really happens?” Lauren asked.

She could not guarantee that her prophet ability would be effective at a time like this.

Quinn rubbed his chin.

“That’s true. After all, the vases and handicrafts here are probably quite valuable. If I accidentally smash them, I might even get scolded.”

Lauren was speechless. When she talked about accidents, she was obviously not referring to the vases.

She was referring to Bryce!

Fortunately, Quinn was still rational.

“However, I’m afraid I’ll get scolded for smashing Bryce’s head.” He looked around. “Is there anything that can be used to smash people without hurting them?”

“I got it!” With that, he put on his slippers and went downstairs in a hurry.

Lauren had never seen Quinn so enthusiastic.

Franklin calmly explained, “Quinn has always spared no effort in tricking Bryce. He’ll put in his best effort.”

Soon after, Quinn came upstairs again with a yellow object in his hand.

“A balloon! Let’s fill it with water and make it into a water balloon! What do you think?”

“This…seems like a good idea.”

Quinn was very efficient in handling this matter, so he immediately assigned the task.

Franklin was responsible for keeping a lookout in the garden. As soon as Bryce stepped out of the house, he would notify Quinn, who was holding a water balloon on the second floor.

After that, Lauren would use her prophet ability to save Bryce.

“So I will do whatever I want?” Lauren asked.

“That’s right. When you see Bryce coming out, it’s about time for you to get ready.”

Lauren nodded. Their plan had begun.

Franklin stood in the garden and pretended to be on the phone. Quinn was already standing on the balcony on the second floor, with a red water balloon. Lauren was sitting on a single sofa near the main door.

The three of them waited for a long time before Bryce finally came downstairs.

As he was already in his third year of high school, he would stay in his room to do his revision whenever he was free. However, he would come out to relax every few hours.

At this moment, Maria and Sean were resting in their room.

Just as Quinn had predicted, because Lauren was in the living room, Bryce would not stay in the living room.

Lauren’s heart was thumping wildly. She felt as if she was about to do something bad. However, other than nervousness, there was also an inexplicable excitement!

She felt as if she was playing a prank with her brothers!

Bryce stretched as he went downstairs. He originally wanted to sit on the sofa in the living room for a while, but when he saw Lauren, he changed his direction and headed towards the small garden.

Franklin’s expression changed slightly.

However, the strange thing was that Lauren did not feel anything.

She tried to open her spiritual consciousness, but she was still unable to sense anything dangerous happening.

Hmm…

Then she could only react accordingly to the situation!

At this moment, Bryce had already walked out of the door. Lauren did not know when Quinn would throw the water balloon. In order to avoid missing it, she could only shout, “Be careful!”

Bryce was very obedient and he stopped moving, then he looked back at Lauren, his eyes filled with doubt.

Lauren didn’t know what to say and was stunned.

Franklin saw there was a change in the situation, so he hurriedly signaled to Quinn, who received the signal and suspended the water balloon in the air, ready to let go.

However, at this time, Bryce has lost patience with Lauren, he turned around and continued to walk out.

Splash…

The water balloon landed spot on Bryce’s head.

Bryce was stunned.

The other three were also stunned.

Bryce looked up angrily. Quinn immediately retracted his head and looked up at the sky.

At that moment, Franklin continued to pretend to be on the phone with someone.

As a result, this was the first time Lauren heard her name being called out by Bryce.

“Lauren, did you do this?! You deliberately told me to be careful so that I would stop. That was the secret signal. Then, you joined forces with Quinn to hit me with the water balloon!”

Lauren sat motionlessly on the chair and placed her hands on her knees. The whole incident had backfired..
