The second mission had temporarily come to an end.

On the return journey, Lauren told Franklin about the aunt she met at the amusement park.

“I want to help that poor aunt find her daughter Lily! Brother, can you help me?”

“You’re just a child, why do you care so much? You have to help everyone. Do you really think you’re the savior?”

“That’s right. Lauren is the savior. Wasn’t Franklin saved by Lauren?”

“I…” Franklin’s mind raced, but he could not think of anything to refute her words.

If it were not for Lauren, he might not have been able to escape this calamity.

Lauren thought that Franklin would not agree and continued to act coquettishly, “Lily is so pitiful without her mother. Children should grow up happily with their parents.”

Hearing this, Franklin’s heart tightened.

Lauren grew up without her parents or even relatives.

Was she happy? She was jumping up and down every day. She should be quite happy.

She would shout when she was hungry, laugh when she was happy, and act coquettishly when she was unhappy. She should still be a healthy child.

“Alright, since you saved me once, I’ll help you once. How?”

Franklin was already prepared to use his intelligence to subdue Lauren, but her next sentence was, “We want to get the surveillance footage from the police.”

‘I thought you had taken a liking to my brain, but I didn’t expect you to only take a liking to my relationship.’.

“When auntie called the police, the police said that there was nothing unusual about the surveillance footage. But I kept feeling that there must be something fishy going on. Why would that little girl leave on her own for no reason?”

“I’ll make a call and ask Ben to go to the police station later to get it directly.”

“Alright, I’ll go get it after I drop you off at the Torres residence.” Ben had yet to come out from the “ghost story” earlier, and his voice was still nasal.

When they returned to the Torres residence, it was already nearly four o’clock in the afternoon. The car had just parked outside the Torres residence when Lauren quickly opened the car door and got out. As she looked for Mr. Hayes, she shouted,

“Grandpa Hayes, Lauren is hungry! Lauren wants to eat meat!”

Just as she was about to run into the main door, Lauren’s head was blocked by a hand.

“Little girl, are you permitted to enter this house?”

Lauren’s head was pressed down. She could not raise her head and could only see her two legs.

Just as she was about to use some “special methods” to deal with this uninvited guest, the hand on her head moved away.

Lauren raised her head and saw that it was Franklin who had pulled the hand away.

“Quinn Torres, what are you doing? You’re bullying a child,” Franklin’s tone carried a hint of reproach as he shook Quinn’s hand away.

“I don’t bully children, I only bully jinxes. It’s only been a few days and you’ve already switched sides?” Quinn’s voice was very pleasant to hear. It was not as cold as Quinn’s, but his words were even colder than ice.

Lauren held onto Franklin’s leg and raised her head to look at Quinn.

He was also very good-looking. From Lauren’s angle, she could only see his chin, but it could not hide the fact that Quinn was also a handsome man.

In the next second, Quinn lowered his head.

He was indeed very handsome. His eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Franklin’s, but his outline was slightly gentle. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his nose was tall. Compared to Franklin’s icy face, he was more likable to everyone.

“What are you looking at? I know I’m very handsome, but don’t think too much. I won’t acknowledge you as my sister.”

“Uncle, what are you talking about? I’m not blind, why would I think that you’re handsome? Please make way, you’re too fat, blocking the door!”

[ System Divine NIne: Host, this Quinn Torres is your second brother according to blood relations. However… he looks even more difficult to deal with than Franklin. ]

“Hmph, Lauren doesn’t want him to be Lauren’s brother either!”

Quinn was about to explode when he heard Lauren’s words. As an international supermodel and a super male celebrity with fans all over the world, he was actually called fat?

“You dare to call me fat? Why don’t you take a look at your own bun-shaped face?” After saying that, Quinn wanted to reach out and pinch it.

Before he could even touch it, Lauren started to cry loudly. Mr. Hayes and the servants in the room heard the crying and hurriedly ran out.

“Boohoo Grandpa Hayes…”

[ System Divine Nine: Host, when did you learn to act without telling me? The tears are so real. ]

Lauren will not tell Little Nine, these tears are true feelings.

Even if and Quinn did not get along, they are still related by blood. Even so, Quinn still called her a “jinx” right in front of her, which really made Lauren feel very sad.

Her nose turned sour, and tears began to flow down her cheeks.
