nBright sparks burst forth, looking exceptionally beautiful in the dark.

nLauren waved the sparklers continuously, one in each hand, while she twirled around on the grass.

nLauren was the happiest she'd been in the past ten days.

nNo matter how many people cared about her, be it Scott or James, nothing was comparable to have her family by her side.

n

"Lauren, come back to stay in the Torres family.

" Franklin's sudden words stunned everyone present.

nLauren subconsciously glanced at Quinn.

n

"As for what happened that day, it was Quinn's and my fault. No matter what had happened, we shouldn't have blamed you. You were still a child at that time. In other words, you shouldn't bear all these grudges.

"

nAfter Lauren ran away from home, Quinn also regretted what happened that day. Although he didn't like Lauren, he had never thought of chasing her out of the Torres family.

nAfter all, her surname was Torres. Most importantly, Quinn realized that ever since Lauren left, Mr. Hayes had never given him a good attitude!

n

"I don't know either.

"

nMany things could be categorized as either black or white, but when it involved family and its members, it was difficult to draw a clear line between them.

nAlthough Lauren always claimed to be a master, she was also in a difficult position when it came to such matters.

nShe was willing to go back. When she returned to the Torres family, she could watch TV with the maids, chat and play chess with Mr. Hayes. She could also have dinner with Franklin.

nBut...

n

"Come back then!

"

nThis sentence more or less surprised everyone, because the person who said this was actually Quinn.

nHe did not look at anyone when he said these words. Instead, he turned his head to face the Crystal Lake. His entire posture looked extremely awkward.

nLauren blinked her eyes. She suddenly wondered if Quinn had been possessed by a ghost as well.

n

"Why are all of you so surprised? I...I don't like you. I'm just concerned that Franklin has to pay for you to stay here! There are so many rooms in the Torres family, having you doesn't make much of a difference.

"

nIt was only then that Ben remembered that these two young masters did not know that Lauren was actually the owner of Dream Villa.

nOf course, it was not just Dream Villa. Lauren was also the owner of Star Dream Amusement Park and Everlasting Legacy.

nHowever, it was best that Lauren revealed it herself. Ben suddenly felt a little proud. He was the only one that knew so many little secrets of Lauren.

n

"Mr. Carson, do you think I should go back and stay?

"

nLauren raised her head to look at Ben, and Ben could feel Franklin's gaze fixed on him as well.

nAfter receiving Franklin's signal, Mr. Carson quickly joined the battle team.

"Miss Torrres, of course, you have to go back. You don't even know how much Mr. Hayes misses you.

"

nSeeing that Lauren was still hesitating, Franklin quickly helped Lauren make a decision.

"Ben, why don't you help Lauren pack her things?

"

nFinally, Lauren gave in to the three men's persuasion.

nAlright, since the situation was set, Lauren wanted to say goodbye to Scott.

nLauren, who was cute and exquisite, walked in front. Franklin and Quinn, each of different styles yet both handsome, followed behind. They attracted the attention of many guests.

nBefore they even entered the hall, they could hear the sound of glass bottles being smashed. They could also hear both the voices of men and women mixed together.

nLauren sped up and ran in. Franklin and Torres also followed suit.

nThe floor of the hall was filled with broken wine bottles. They could see a slightly chubby middle-aged man who was in a drunken frenzy. He kept smashing the wine bottles.

nHe had almost smashed all the wine on the wine cabinet.

nScott and a few other security guards were trying to stop the man, but the glass bottle in the man's hand was jagged and sharp, so no one dared to step forward rashly.

nHowever, what was more dangerous was that on the other side of the hall, there were two children, holding toys in their hands, standing in a corner, trembling with fear.

nThe two children did not dare to come over, and neither did the staff on the other side.

nThe drunk man had lost control. He was holding the broken bottle in his hand and flailing about wildly. The floor was also filled with glass shards.

nAfraid that if this continued, the two children would be hurt, Lauren planned to go around the man and subdue him. Although she was short, she had great strength.

nHowever, her plan did not work out. The drunkard staggered to the side of the wine cabinet and tried to grab the wine bottle on it. But he lost his balance, the wine cabinet was about to fall.

nEveryone cried out in alarm. If the wine cabinet fell, the two children would most likely be hit.

nSome people had already run forward to catch the cabinet, but it was too late!
