After Franklin went to the company, Lauren started the operation of “protecting big brother”.

This male ghost’s cultivation was not high, so there must be someone controlling him from behind. Therefore, Lauren decided to lay a trap for him.

[ System Divine Nine: Host, how can you be sure that this male ghost will come again? Moreover, we still don’t know the background of the person behind this. What if after you get him into your trap, you actually put yourself in danger? ]

“Lauren, I’ve already thought it through! I need to set up a talisman array in brother’s room and study first. Only a person or a ghost with a single aura can enter these rooms.”

As Lauren spoke, she continuously took out yellow talisman papers from her small pink bag and pasted them on the four corners of the room.

“That male ghost that wanted to harm brother didn’t succeed last time. This time, he’ll definitely do it again!”! “This way, when the male ghost enters the room, the talisman will take effect. The other aura that is attached to the male ghost’s body — that is, the aura that is being controlled — will not be able to enter!”

After pasting the talisman on all four corners of the room, Lauren ran to the middle of the room. She bent her left hand and stretched out her right hand. The index and middle fingers of her right hand were placed together. When she closed her eyes, the tips of her fingers emitted a golden glow.

She began to chant an incantation. Her right hand was also moving, drawing a pattern in the air that was the same as the one on the talisman paper.

The moment she finished drawing, a golden glow burst out from her fingertips and spread throughout the entire room in a shooting pattern. A few seconds later, everything returned to normal.

“Alright, now that this enchantment has been set up in brother’s room, let’s go to the study!”

Lauren had never been to Franklin’s study room before because Mr. Hayes had told her that Franklin did not like others touching his things. Therefore, even the servants had to clean it once a week. They did not dare to go in every day for fear of messing up something.

Franklin’s study room was also on the second floor. Lauren had to stand tiptoe to reach the door handle.

The interior decoration was also in line with Franklin’s personality. It was mainly in black and white colors. Both sides of the walls were bookshelves filled with all kinds of books in all kinds of languages.

Although Lauren was not tall enough, her eyesight was excellent. In a pure place, she could clearly see things within fifty meters. She could capture even the smallest details.

As she slowly walked past the two large bookshelves, she also discovered many books that she had read before.

“Critique of pure reason, econometrics of Quantity, principles of financial markets and financial institutions. Lauren has read all the books that brother has read! We are indeed brother and sister!”

[ System Divine Nine: Host, the library that you have is the largest library in the entire Z nation or even the entire world. You have read all the books that Franklin has read. In a few more years, you might be able to finish reading all the books. ]

“I can’t help it. Lauren’s strength is just that outstanding. If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear the weight!”

The mischievous Lauren started to get narcissistic again.

However, it was still more important to get down to business. After setting up the array, she still had another thing to do!

According to the array that she had just set up, she also set up this enchantment in Franklin’s study.

Just as she was about to tiptoe away, Lauren noticed some photo frames placed on Franklin’s desk. She climbed onto his office chair and leaned her entire body on the mahogany desk, carefully looking at these photo frames.

The first frame contained a middle-aged man and a woman. Although they did not look too young, they had good looks. The woman had a classic and gentle appearance, while the man had sharp features. Both his brows and eyes were handsome and uninhibited.

Even though Lauren had no memory of what her parents looked like, it was not difficult to deduce that they were Franklin’s parents. Of course, this meant that they were also her parents.

“Big brother looks like both of them. His eyes and nose are like mom’s, and his mouth is like dad’s! No wonder big brother is so good-looking. Our parents are so good-looking!”

“Lauren will definitely be very beautiful in the future, just like mom.”

The next frame was a personal photo of Franklin, and the next frame was a photo of Franklin and the other two boys. The three of them had similar facial features, but their personalities were completely different.

[ System Divine Nine: The other two boys should be your other two brothers. You’ve been back for a few days, but they haven’t shown up, not even a greeting. ]

“Humph, they don’t ask about Lauren, and Lauren doesn’t care about them either. Lauren only has one brother!”
