“Miss Torres, what…what is this?”
Lauren’s hand was still fiddling with the empty bag. She had just found a key and messed up everything inside. She was still tidying it up, she raised her head and said nonchalantly, “The key to the house in western suburbs. Didn’t I say that I am going to give you a house? Here, this is the address.”
She then handed Mr. Hayes a note.
The Whitecliff residential area in the western suburbs.
Mr. Hayes remembered that he had seen on the news last night that the house prices in the Whitecliff residential area were sky-high. The scenery there was picturesque, and many rich people wanted to buy a house there, so that they could find a quiet place to settle down.
But this…
Mr. Hayes looked at the indifferent Lauren and then lowered his head to look at the rather important key in his hand.
“Miss Torres, is this the real key?” Mr. Hayes asked in disbelief.
“Of course, I will get someone to transfer the ownership of this house to you. After that, you can go and live there. The willow trees in the western suburbs are really beautiful. You are so good to me. This is just a small token of goodwill from me. You must accept it!”
The key in his hand was like a hot potato. Mr. Hayes had countless doubts in his heart.
He did not want to believe that Lauren was lying. After all, such an innocent and cute child would not make up such a lie.
However…
If this key was real, how could Lauren, being a young child, get a house in the western suburbs? Every inch of land there was worth a fortune.
Even if one had lots of money, they might not be able to buy it.
Before he could ask any more questions, Lauren ran out of the main door.
“What’s wrong, Miss Torres?” Worried that something had happened, Mr. Hayes quickly followed Lauren’s footsteps.
There was nothing outside the main door.
“Mr. Carson is coming back. I am waiting for him here. We have to go somewhere together.”
Mr. Hayes looked at the garage and then looked at the straight road at the door. There was no sign of a car.
“Where are you coming back?” Mr. Hayes wiped his eyes.
A few seconds later, a black car slowly appeared at the corner of the road and drove toward the Torres family’s gate.
It was indeed a familiar license plate number.
“I am very powerful. Grandpa Hayes, I’m leaving!”
“Where are you going, Miss Torres? Are you coming home for dinner tonight?”
Lauren slipped into the car and rolled down the window.
Her eyes welled up again when she heard Mr. Hayes’s words. Dressed in the simplest of clothes, Mr. Hayes stood in front of the magnificent Torres residence and asked her if she wanted to come home for dinner.
However, this was never her home…
Lauren shook her head. “I’m not coming back for dinner. Grandpa Hayes, hurry up and go in! The wind is strong!”
Lauren handed Ben an address and asked him to drive.
The car that had just stopped drove off again, rolling up a few green leaves by the roadside.
[System Divine Nine: If Mr. Hayes finds out that you’ve left, he’ll definitely be heartbroken.]
“There’s no other way. If I tell Mr. Hayes, it’s as good as telling my brother…it’s the same as them knowing. I don’t want them to know.”
[System Divine Nine: Since you bring along the Torres family’s driver, the Torres family will definitely know where you are.]
Oh right, Lauren had forgotten about this matter.
“Mr. Carson, are you willing to be my full-time driver?”
“Miss Lauren, I’m willing to do anything. Can you help me with something first?”
“What is it?”
“Help me turn off the ability to see ghosts.”
“Oh.”
Lauren chanted a spell and reached out to wipe Ben’s eyes.
“It’s fine now.”
Ben opened his eyes. He felt that the color saturation of the world was better now. It was not like before, where it was always gray.
The best thing was that he would never have to see ghosts again!
“Mr. Carson, you just promised me that you would be my driver.” Lauren leaned forward and pulled the driver’s seat.
“I’ve always been your driver, Miss Lauren.”
“What I mean is, you will only be my driver from now on and follow me!” Lauren extended her right thumb and pointed at herself. “By following me, you will definitely earn more money.”
“Miss Torres, of course I will. If it weren’t for you, my wife and I wouldn’t have the chance to see each other again. You’re the benefactor of our family.”
Lauren nodded in satisfaction. “From now on, I will be your boss and you have to listen to me.”
