Lauren felt a little guilty.
‘Do I really look like an eggplant?’ she thought.
“Although children should wear lively and cute clothes, they still represent the family. It’s better to be more composed. You should also teach her some manners. Don’t go out and embarrass the Torres family. Tina is well-known among us to be a person who abides by the rules.”
“No matter what, the reputation of a family should not be decided by a child. Madame White should not have to worry about what my younger sister is wearing. If Madame White has such intentions, why don’t you take a look at the recent strategic plans of the White Group? I heard that your eldest son is interested in buying that piece of land in the south of the city recently? I suggest you do a good background check. You can’t just buy land as and when you want. We’ll make a move first. Have a good time with your granddaughter.”
After he finished, he led Lauren away, with Bryce following closely behind.
As Lauren was led away by her brother, she suddenly felt like the heroine in a film, feeling safe and secure as she was saved by the hero.
It was not until they turned a corner and entered another shopping area that Lauren gave a thumbs up to Franklin.
“Brother, you were so awesome just now!”
“What about me?”
Bryce’s voice came from behind.
What Bryce said just now had indeed given Lauren a shock. She did not expect Bryce to be so tough and dared to directly retort Sophia.
Lauren turned around and said, “You’re fantastic too!”
Bryce felt a little uneasy as this was the first time Lauren said that he was fantastic.
He brushed his fringe from his forehead to distract himself.
“Of course, I’m not trying to help you. I’ve always had a problem with that old woman. She nags every time she sees me.”
‘I don’t know whether Bryce is telling the truth or not, but he should still hate me, and I doubt he is really speaking up for me,’ Lauren thought.
“Franklin, who was that Madam White just now?”
Lauren especially emphasized the words ‘Madame White’ in order to show her ‘respect’.
Franklin initially thought that after being ridiculed by Sophia, Lauren would be a little unhappy. After all, she mentioned the foster care incident from four years ago.
However, Lauren unexpectedly took it well.
Franklin thought for a moment and found the simplest explanation.
“She is Grandma’s friend.”
Oh…
Lauren understood now.
She recalled the first time she saw her grandma in the Torres Mansion.
No wonder she found Madam White a little familiar. The temperament of these two old people was exactly the same.
Even the fact that they hated her was exactly the same. It was as if shad had been their enemy in their previous lives.
“But is my outfit really ugly? Does it really look like an eggplant?”
As Lauren spoke, she became less confident. She felt that this outfit would make her look fresh and lively.
They walked into another clothing store as they spoke. A salesgirl overheard what Lauren said.
The salesgirl said, “How can that be? You look really good in this dress, and this color makes you look very fair.”
Lauren was elated when she heard this. She immediately decided to buy her clothes in this shop!
The clothes in this shop were indeed great. Moreover, they were in the lively and cute style that Lauren liked. One of the dresses even had a bear and strawberry pattern printed on it.
Lauren kept trying on dresses in the store while the two men outside waited quietly.
When she reached the 6th item, Lauren suddenly remembered, “Oh my, didn’t I come here today to buy a dress for Ruby? But I don’t know what size Ruby is.”
Bryce, who was sitting on a chair and writing math problems, looked up. “You don’t need to think about it. She is definitely skinnier than you.”
The next second, Bryce was hit in the back by a small pink bag the size of a palm.
In the end, Lauren still bought a dress for Ruby. She picked a total of six dresses, picked the correct size for herself, and picked out a smaller size for Ruby.
Ruby was about the same height as Lauren, but slightly thinner.
Lauren changed out of the purple dress and put on a bright yellow dress.
The moment she changed out of the dress, Bryce had just finished a question. He raised his head and asked, “Hey, why are you wearing a banana?”
Lauren was speechless.
‘Both of you are foodies. All you think about is eating!’
When they left, they bumped into Sophia and Apolline in the parking lot.
What made them even more amazed was that Apolline was carried into the car by the bodyguard next to her.. The bodyguard looked extremely cautious, as if he was afraid of hurting a single strand of Apolline’s hair.
