Chapter 46: Saw the Little Ghost Again
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This little brat actually learned how to run away from home?
Ben was in a dilemma. What should he say? Miss Torres was now a boss?
“Master Franklin, we are at the Dream Villa now.”
“Dream Villa?” Quinn, who was sitting beside Franklin, raised his eyebrows.
Last year, the Torres family’s year-end banquet was held at the Dream Villa. Franklin had asked his secretary to make an appointment half a year in advance. In just one night, he had spent several million dollars.
“Why did you go there?” Franklin lowered his head to look at his watch. It would take about an hour to rush to the west side of the city. “You guys stay there and don’t move. I’ll be there right away..”
Ben was about to agree when his trouser leg was pulled.
He looked down and saw the expressionless Lauren. If he took a closer look, he could see the anger in her eyes.
Lauren stretched out her hand and gestured for Ben to give her the phone.
“Miss Lauren, Master Franklin is worried about you…”
Before Ben could finish his sentence, he felt himself being pulled and fell to the ground. Lauren snatched the phone away.
Fortunately, the floor was covered with carpets, so it did not hurt.
Although he had experienced Lauren’s “high-altitude projectile” once before, Ben was still afraid of Lauren’s strength when he experienced it again.
“Hey, don’t come looking for me,” Lauren said dryly.
Franklin pinched the space between his brows. “Lauren, don’t make a scene. You must never do something like running away from home again.”
“I didn’t run away from home. That place isn’t my home.”
“Anyway…don’t come over! I am very unhappy today!” After hanging up the phone, she threw the phone back to Ben. She glared at Ben angrily and returned to the office.
“Master Franklin, Miss Torres is now in a bad mood. Don’t come over first. I’ll send you a message later.” After Ben sent this message, he put on a flattering smile and went back to the office.
Apart from coaxing her himself, what else could he do if he angered his master?
After having a sumptuous dinner, Scott brought the two of them to the room.
“Boss, this room has always been reserved for you. No one has ever stayed in it before.” Scott opened the wood carving door. It was spotless inside. With a look, one could tell that it was often cleaned.
“Mr. Kennedy, you’ve worked hard. You should go back and rest early.”
After everyone had left, Ben started to touch here and there.
After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Lauren remembered another important matter for today. “Mr. Carson, where’s the surveillance tape?”
There was a time limit to the mission. If the time limit was exceeded, the reward would be discounted.
Ben took out the CD he copied from his bag and placed it into the computer.
“Miss Torres, the missing Lily definitely didn’t get lost on her own. You…you’ll know once you see it.”
The video was not long. Ben only copied the part of the video where Lily appeared.
In the video, it could be seen that Lily’s mother was shopping that day. Lily, who had been standing obediently at the side, suddenly walked away. As if she knew the way, she smoothly found the entrance of the amusement park and successfully left.
The video ended there. This was what the police saw when they called the police back then.
But this was only what ordinary people saw.
Lauren saw that from the time Lily started walking, there was a little girl pushing her from behind.
This little girl was a ghost.
No wonder Ben was so scared on the phone today. Because his heavenly eye had not been closed at that time, he could naturally see the little girl in a white dress.
“Mr. Carson, you’re so timid. It’s because of this that you asked me to help you turn off your heavenly eye, right?”
Ben sat at the side and rubbed his hands.
When he thought of the little girl he saw at the police station today, that eerie feeling came back.
When the police said that Lily was the only one walking around the entire time, Ben realized that he was the only one who could see the little girl in the white dress.
“Miss Torres, if this ghost was my wife, I definitely wouldn’t be afraid. If it was any other ghost…I would be very scared.”
“I know. You guys are very taboo on the topic about ghosts.” Lauren expressed her understanding.
Later on, she watched this video a few times.
[System Divine Nine: This ghost is so young. Why did she come out to do evil?]
Ben asked, “Miss Torres, do you see any clues?”
“Yes…this little ghost looks the same age as Lily, and she definitely doesn’t have any enmity toward Lily. She definitely didn’t mean to push Lily away.”
Ben replied, “Oh…”
[System Divine Nine: So the Host suspects that this mission is the same as Franklin’s mission, there’s a mastermind behind it?]
“Yes, and I think this little ghost is a repeat offender. She’s so familiar with this amusement park, she must have done the same thing many times.”
Ben asked, “Miss Lauren, are you…are you talking to me?” Ben looked left and right in horror.
