Chapter 167: Going Through a Flashback
Lauren snapped out of her daze. From the sound of footsteps, she could tell that it was Quinn.
At this moment, Lauren was in a playful mood. She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, pretending that she did not know someone had entered.
When the man walked up to the bed, Lauren’s eyes widened and she jumped up from the bed.
“Ah!”
As expected, Quinn was shocked and took half a step back.
“I scared you!” Lauren laughed out loud.
Quinn quickly turned on the lights in the room and patted his chest.
“You scared me to death. I thought you were just going through a flashback.”
Lauren was speechless. Was this how a flashback was used?
She was not going to die soon.
After eating her fill, she had closed her eyes and rested for a while. With this commotion, Lauren no longer felt sleepy, and she was now in high spirits.
Seeing that Lauren had recovered a little, Quinn was relieved.
Lauren sat cross-legged on the soft bed.
“Did you get the pendants back?”
Quinn nodded. “I did. I didn’t expect Pauline to sign on only with thirteen artistes, and that included me. Eleven of them actually had this pendant. I also heard that Cynthia has been sick recently and has been in the hospital.”
Lauren was not surprised by this news. The first time she saw Cynthia, she realized that she was ridiculously thin and her face was extremely pale.
After learning about the pendant, Lauren guessed that Cynthia must have used her own blood to feed the pendant, which was why she was so weak.
“Without these pendants, those people will be fine very soon.”
“I really don’t understand. In order to become famous, these people actually thought of such a method. It’s so immoral.”
Quinn shook his head as he spoke.
Lauren replied, “People’s desires and greed are limitless. Having desires is a good thing, but if you can’t control your desires, not only will these desires not help you grow, but they will lead you astray. Pauline and Irene are the best examples.”
“By the way, are you alright? You don’t even know how nervous Franklin and Mr. Hayes were when you fainted. Mr. Hayes looked like he was about to cry.”
“Are Franklin and Mr. Hayes the only ones nervous? Aren’t you nervous?” Lauren teased.
Quinn pretended to cough and looked away before he stood up again.
“I’m not nervous at all.”
“If you’re not nervous, why did you come to visit me in the middle of the night?”
“I just came to see if you’re dead.”
‘Come on, you’re just being stubborn but soft-hearted, aren’t you?’ Lauren thought.
Of course, Lauren allowed Quinn to maintain his cold personality and did not expose him.
“Alright, have a good rest. I’ll go back first. I’ll give you the pendant tomorrow.”
Lauren returned to her bed.
“Okay, good night, second brother.”
It was easy for her to call Quinn “second brother” now, and Quinn seemed to have gotten used to it.
Lauren’s door was closed again.
She was fighting Master Maverick on the basement floor of Golden Star Agency in the morning, but now she was lying in a comfortable and warm bed.
Lauren felt that the past two or three days were like a dream.
It was difficult at that time, but now that she thought about it, it seemed like it was just a moment.
She tossed and turned, but she could not fall asleep. Lauren kept thinking about the various scenes that happened today.
She thought about how she was almost drained of her energy by the spell that Master Maverick wrote. Fortunately, the group of ghosts suddenly rushed in to help her stalled for time and saved her.
At the thought of this, Lauren got up and took out her soul storage device.
She knocked on the soul storage device and opened it. Four ghosts floated out of it.
These were the few ghosts that had survived among the dozen or so ghosts.
George was still there.
George was the one who had been grabbed by the neck. Fortunately, Lauren had chanted the spell in time and George had successfully escaped.
“Uncle George, we meet again!”
In the past, when all the ghosts were out of the soul storage device, they would have filled up Lauren’s room. However, there were only three or four of them left now. Lauren instantly felt a little lonely.
George seemed a little unhappy as well. George was holding on to a boy in his right hand.
Lauren remembered that this boy was also helping to hold Master Maverick’s leg back then.
George looked at Lauren.
“Are you okay?”
Lauren shook her head. “I’m fine. I just needed to rest for a while.”
“That’s good!”
