However, today, Lauren Torres found out that Ruby Cromwell didn’t show up for class.
She had been suspicious of Susan Harding, and now that Ruby Cromwell didn’t show up for class, she hurriedly ran to the office after class and asked Carina Bailey what had happened.
However, Carina Bailey didn’t know either.
“Ruby’s mother just called to ask for a leave of absence. She didn’t say what happened, but Ruby should be coming to class tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Lauren Torres was a little worried.
Therefore, on the day Ruby Cromwell was absent, Lauren Torres helped Ruby Cromwell collect all the things the teacher had given to her. She placed them in the drawer.
Due to the closure of Thomas Johnson High School, the math class under the talent program had relocated to the kindergarten. They found the largest classroom and put all the desks together.
This was the first time Lauren Torres entered this classroom. This classroom was supposed to be used to store trophies and photos. There were many cabinets with photo frames and trophies on them. The photos were all group photos of children.
When Lauren Torres arrived, it was still very noisy in the classroom. When the children went to a new place, they would feel fresh. The children, who were usually engrossed in studying and solving problems, were now chattering with each other.
Since Ruby Cromwell did not come today, Lauren Torres had no choice but to be alone.
She felt a little bored, so she looked around in front of these cabinets.
There were many group photos taken during some competitions in the kindergarten. They were the photos of the top ten young singers, the top three in the origami competition, and so on.
The children in the photos were all beaming with sunny smiles. They were like the rising sun, reminding one of endless hope.
However, one of the photos caught Lauren Torres’s attention. It was taken during the award ceremony of the oral calculation competition held by the kindergarten affiliated with Thomas Johnson High School.
The little girl who won first place in the oral calculation competition was a girl with short hair and bangs. She looked very smart. She was petite and looked very lively and cute with a good temperament.
Two boys were standing next to the little girl. The certificate in the little girl’s hand showed that it was the first prize.
Behind the top three children stood their parents.
Behind the little girl was her mother. She had long hair and looked very dignified and elegant. She should be an intellectual.
What actually attracted Lauren Torres’s attention was not the little girl’s appearance, but the name written on the photo.
Rene Sullivan.
Rene Sullivan?
Wasn’t this the name of Franklin Torres’s good friend, Samuel Sullivan’s younger sister, whom Franklin Torres had mentioned at home the other day?
Looking at the date, the photo was taken more than a year ago. At that time, Rene Sulivan was only around three years old, but she was able to get first place in the oral math competition. It was evident that she was highly talented in math.
Rene Sullivan was indeed an outstanding child. When Lauren Torres looked further at the photos, she noticed that Rene Sullivan had also appeared in various performances at the kindergarten.
In one of the photos, she was wearing a pure white muslin dress. She was sitting on a piano chair and playing the piano. The lights from the stage shone on her face, giving her a childlike yet incomparably holy feeling. She was like a little angel.
The photo frame should have been cleaned by someone regularly. It was very clean and did not have any dust on it. Rene Sullivan’s face was very clear.
Lauren Torres could not help but feel that it was such a pity. A photo could retain a person, but… it was just a photo.
They had started learning the mathematics content of middle and senior high school. According to John Zander, the elementary school’s Olympiad math was only used to expand their mathematical thinking. They still had to learn the necessary content step by step.
Lauren Torres had already acquired the knowledge of middle and senior high school. So she had finished the exercises that John Zander had assigned within 10 minutes.
She had even more important things to do later on, which was to go to her library and find out what happened yesterday.
This was the first time Lauren Torres had encountered such a situation. She could not see the ghost with her heavenly eye. Even with the most traditional method, she could not lure the ghost out. There were also those objects that were shaking non-stop in the room yesterday. Everything really puzzled her.
So, after she finished doing the math questions, she entered her spiritual consciousness and prepared to do the research.
She finally understood why she had been given such a long time for this mission. It was due to something she had never understood before.
After the completion of Mission 3, Divine Nine had also leveled up. However, after the level-up, its physical appearance was still that of a fox. The only difference was that the color of its fur had turned completely white. It now looked like a flying fox on a snowy mountain. It looked so noble.
It made Lauren Torres feel that she was looking at a noblewoman when looking at it..
