Chapter 134: Slight Change in Impression

In the beginning, Quinn did not trust Lauren at all. However, after today’s incident, his impression of Lauren had changed a little as well.

As an adult man, he was scared to death. Yet, this girl was actually so calm. Moreover, she was quick to adapt to the situation. She did not give herself away even after exchanging blows with Pauline.

In that case, he might as well force himself to form a temporary alliance with Lauren.

“I see that the relationship between the two of you is not as tense as it used to be. I heard from Ben that the two of you had quite a good chat in the car today.”

Perhaps it was because he recalled the harsh words he had said to Lauren and the things he had done to Lauren that made Quinn feel a little embarrassed.

However, he still stubbornly refused to admit it. “What’s so good about it? Anyway, we have to live under the same roof.”

Franklin had lived with Quinn for more than twenty years. How could he not know what Quinn meant?

Quinn was clearly admitting defeat, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

Franklin raised his eyebrows but did not expose Quinn.

Quinn quickly changed the topic and shifted the focus of the discussion.

“Oh right, why isn’t Bryce back? It’s been so long since school started.”

Bryce Torres was the third son of the Torres family. He was also Franklin and Quinn’s biological younger brother, and Lauren’s biological older brother.

He was currently in high school, and he attended a boarding school. Logically speaking, he should be able to return home on weekends. However, ever since school started, Bryce had not returned home once.

Franklin’s head hurt even more when Bryce was mentioned. He pinched the space between his eyebrows.

“What do you think? He has the same reason as you. None of you can make me feel at ease.”

“Why are you talking about me again? is he not coming back because of…her?”

Quinn nodded in the direction of Lauren.

“Yes. He called me when he heard that Lauren was coming to the Torres family. As long as Lauren is still in the Torres family, he will never come back.”

“If you have time, try to persuade him, since you know what Lauren is like now. Please call him and talk to him when you have the time.”

Quinn rolled his eyes.

“How would I know what Lauren is like?!”

Franklin rolled his eyes at him.

Quinn immediately shut his mouth and nodded to show that he understood.

It was almost 10 o’clock after watching the TV series with the maids, and Franklin urged Lauren to go to bed.

Lauren obediently followed Franklin upstairs, and Franklin covered her with the quilt before closing the door to her room.

Lauren was also sleepy now, as she woke up early and went out with Quinn in the morning. She lay in the warm quilt, and within a few minutes, she was dozing off.

Everyone outside seemed to be asleep, and the Torres family was quiet.

At this time, Lauren suddenly heard something moving. She looked for it and found that the soul storage device in the nightstand was shaking.

She reached out for the soul storage device from under the blanket.

Generally speaking, if the soul storage device moved in this manner, it meant that there was a ghost inside that wanted to come out.

Lauren would usually not pay any attention to it. It must have been those captured ghosts who were unwilling to be locked up inside, so they kept causing trouble.

However, Lauren was worried that George had something to tell her, so she opened the soul storage device.

As expected, George’s ghost came out of the soul storage device and stood in front of Lauren’s bed.

Lauren rubbed her eyes and asked, “What happened, George?”

“The mission finally came. We went to the old place this afternoon and found that someone left a mission there. It should have been left there this morning or at noon.”

Upon hearing this news, the drowsiness that had just accumulated in Lauren’s mind disappeared in an instant.

“Really? So now we can carry out our plan?”

“Yes, it just so happens that all of your conditions are in line with the person he’s looking for in the mission. This time, he’s looking for a little girl, four to six years old.”

“That’s great. The gods are really helping me.”

At first, Lauren had thought that if the other party was looking for a boy, she would have to turn herself into a boy.

But of course, it would be best to use her own body. In this way, she would be able to unleash her abilities to the maximum.

“The mission instructed me to bring this child to the warehouse at four in the afternoon.”

“Four in the afternoon…” Lauren sorted out all the things she had to do the next day and nodded. “Four in the afternoon is no problem.”
