Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers

Chapter 59: Guardians

Why were Franklin and Quinn here?

Lauren was stunned for a moment as she sat on the chair. Then, she realized that it must be the work of the “traitor” Ben.

Ben caught Lauren’s killing gaze. He immediately looked away and almost said something like “Look, there’s a plane over there” to change the topic.

Franklin was stoic, while Quinn was carefree. The two brothers had different styles, but they were equally eye-catching.

The moment the two of them entered, the office seemed to have suddenly become much taller and bigger.

When Catherine saw Franklin, she quickly went forward to shake hands with him.

“This…President Torres, why are you here? I’m really lucky today to have met two outstanding young masters of the Torres family in one go!”

She did not have the opportunity to speak to Franklin during the usual dinner parties. Now that she met him, she had to make herself known to him, so that in the future, she could brag about it when she was with other ladies.

Lauren secretly gestured to the supervisor. The supervisor understood and took Auntie Bowen and her daughter out, leaving the space for them.

After all, the topic of the Torres Corporation was very popular. It would inevitably cause a stir if today’s incident was leaked.

Franklin only glanced at Catherine and did not say anything. He walked to the sofa where Lauren was sitting and sat beside her.

“Hmph,” Lauren said softly and turned her head to the other side. It was obvious that she did not want to pay attention to Franklin.

Quinn also strode over with large steps.

The sofa was not big. Lauren sat in the middle while Franklin sat on the left. The only seat left for Quinn was on Lauren’s right.

As a result, Lauren had two guardians, one each on her side.

Catherine saw that the situation was clearly not right.

Didn’t they say that the youngest daughter was the most unloved one in the Torres family? Everyone despised her?

It didn’t seem so at the moment.

Lauren felt strange looking at either side, so she looked neither left nor right. She looked ahead and saw Catherine and her daughter.

She couldn’t possibly close her eyes!

“Why are the two of you here? Are you here to ride a roller coaster?” Lauren asked.

“Roller coaster? Who still wants to play such childish things? Only a little brat like you would like it,” Quinn spoke bluntly.

Catherine saw that Quinn’s attitude was so cold and his words were full of sarcasm. Her earlier hesitation from disappeared.

The rumors were indeed correct. The people of the Torres family really hated this little daughter!

Thus, Catherine decided to add fuel to the fire.

“That’s right, Master Quinn. This Lauren Torres is really self-righteous, and thinks she’s infallible.”

Franklin remained seated with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He did not say anything.

On the contrary, Quinn opened his mouth again, making Lauren wonder if he had woken up on the wrong side of bed today.

It had been a “surprise” to see him appear here in the first place. Yet, he was wasting his time now talking to Catherine.

Based on the experience from two days ago, Lauren did not think that Quinn was here for her.

“May I know who…”

“My surname is Brown. I’m Catherine Brown, the wife of Herbert Brown, the CEO of Brown Corporation. This is our daughter, Beth Brown. Come! Beth, quickly greet Uncle Franklin and Uncle Quinn!”

Catherine pulled Beth to her side.

The brown stains on the white dress had dried up. Beth was in a sorry state and was reluctant to speak.

Catherine kept urging Beth in a low voice, but Beth kept hiding. Catherine smiled awkwardly at Quinn, who was seated at the sofa.

“I’m really sorry. Beth usually isn’t like this. She must be unhappy because her dress is dirty.”

Quinn smiled. This smile was very superficial. He was just smiling with his mouth, not with his eyes.

“It’s fine. As for my sister, Lauren, I’d like to ask what makes you think that she’s self-righteous?”

It was not the first time that Catherine was blind to the situation. Quinn had asked her this question with a smile and she had thought that she had secured Quinn’s favor.

On the other hand, when Lauren heard the words “my sister” coming out of Quinn’s mouth, she actually had a strange feeling.

“Today, I had an argument with another person. Lauren stood up to uphold justice! This person…” Catherine said as she pointed at Ben who was standing at the side, “This person even used the name of your Torres family to pressure me.”

Ben, who was suddenly called out, opened his mouth angrily and complained to both Franklin and Quinn. “Masters, this woman called Miss Torres a wild child!”
