nAfter Lauren’s departure, the Torres family seemed to have returned to their usual calm.

n

nThe Torres Group prepared for the 50th-anniversary party in an orderly manner. Quinn’s acting studio also started to accept jobs. Sean and Maria also moved back to the villa to continue recuperating.

n

nLauren was photographed by the reporters on the day she left the Torres family. They made a big deal out of it, adding all kinds of exaggerated speculation.

n

nHowever, their main theme was the same, which was the youngest daughter of the Torres family was once again abandoned.

n

nOf course, all of this had nothing to do with Lauren.

n

nAfter returning to the church, Lauren had no further contact with the outside world, and there was not a single piece of news about her. This four-and-a-half-year-old girl seemed to have vanished into thin air.

n

nHowever, Lauren’s departure and disappearance did not occupy the headlines of the news for long. Soon, supernatural and bizarre phenomena took over the daily headlines.

n

nFor example, it snowed in May. Everyone woke up one day and discovered that it was snowing, for which the meteorologists were unable to provide scientific explanations.

n

nAnother example was the mysterious disappearance of nearly a hundred acres of arable land in the suburb overnight, turned into barren soil.

n

nNo one could explain it. Everyone treated it as a supernatural phenomenon and could not do anything, apart from being surprised.

n

nHowever, Lauren did not think so.

n

nEver since she received that phone call, she had been working with other hosts and systems to track down the GRW organization. Moreover, all these strange phenomena started after the phone call.

n

nSo, she speculated that this organization must have started to wreak havoc on the human world.

n

nAs Lauren combed through the clues, she penned something down in a notebook.

n

nSystem Divine Nine: Host, when I saw you leave the Torres family without looking back, I thought you were really angry with them. I didn’t expect you to use this method.

n

nLauren blinked her eyes. Before she could reply, a line of words that did not belong to her appeared in the notebook that she had just written.

n

nGrandma hasn’t been out much lately. Everything is stable.

n

nLauren bit the tip of her pen.

n

n“Divine Nine, this was a diversion. We could not alert the enemy. Besides, my brothers and my mother treated me so well. Why would I be angry? It’s just that I needed to make those people lower their guard, so returning to the church was a natural choice.”

n

nThat was right, it was just a show that Lauren had left the Torres family so decisively back then.

n

nShe left a small note in her room as she knew that Franklin and the others would definitely go to her room, and that was why she wrote down her plans on the note.

n

nAs it happened, the other notebook was still with Quinn, so Lauren could continue to contact Franklin and the others through this magical book.

n

nSystem Divine Nine: Do you really think Tina is behind this?

n

n“I am just speculating. Otherwise, why would she go to great lengths to make sure Lauren comes back? It seems that she doesn’t want me to intervene.”

n

nLauren continued to write on the paper, “Alright, Franklin. What about Mr. Hayes?”

n

n“I’m Quinn. Franklin has gone to pick up the phone. After he left with Grandma, he never came back.”

n

nLauren said, “I see…alright.”

n

nAfter that, Lauren kept in contact with the Torres family to obtain information about the outside world. On the other hand, she had been working with the other hosts to track down traces of this organization.

n

nDivine Nine had yet to complete its “upgrade” and was still in that small box.

n

nTherefore, Lauren spent most of her time in the church talking to Lauren Torres in that small box.

n

nDays passed by one after another. The Torres Group’s 50th anniversary was just two days away.

n

nIn the past two days, the Everlasting Legacy’s staff had hosted many foreigners and served many roast ducks. Dream Villa was also full of foreign guests. These foreigners were handsome men and beautiful women of different ages and styles, and they attracted the attention of many people on the road.

n

nMany passers-by even took photos with them and posted them on Instagram.

n

nOn the 23rd of May, the day of Torres Group’s 50th anniversary. In order to give back to society and its many consumers, all the Torres Group’s companies had discount activities, and there were also many lucky draw gifts. The whole country was bustling with activity on this day.

n

nThe Torres Group’s most luxurious hotels were constantly frequented by many luxury cars that carried celebrities and famous entrepreneurs.

n

nThe 50th-anniversary party would be held in this hotel today.

n

nAs the chairman of the Torres Group, Franklin would definitely go on stage to give a speech. Quinn and Bryce were also present.

n

nAt this moment, Quinn was eating an apple and talking to the stylist, Tony. “Cover up the pimple on my brother’s forehead a little better. Ever since Lauren left, his condition has been getting bad to worse.”

n

nTony looked at Franklin carefully and nodded.

n

n“Indeed, you need to cover up more blemishes. After all, you have to appear on all the major television stations.”

n

nFranklin was speechless.
