BXBX NOVEL Chapter 81 - Undermined
Chapter 81: Undermined
Lauren was already standing in a corner. She turned around and quickly took out an amulet from her empty bag while no one was looking. This amulet was usually used on humans, but it could also be used on objects.
Her lips moved quickly, and the amulet disappeared.
The moment the amulet disappeared, the falling speed of the cabinet that was about to fall slowed down. A few men managed to hold onto the cabinet in time.
Franklin and Quinn were among those who helped.
“Go away! All of you, go away!” The man staggered and aimed the broken bottle in his hand at the people beside him.
Lauren was about to step forward when she saw Quinn, who was the closest to the man, step forward and snatch the glass bottle from the man’s back.
The drunkard was caught from behind and kept struggling. Franklin and Scott also rushed forward to help stabilize the culprit.
With the help of the few of them, the security guards successfully controlled the drunk man and the two children were finally safe.
The entire hall was in a mess. Scott called for the waiter to clean it up.
“Mr. Kennedy, I’m going home.”
“Aren’t you going to stay for a few more days? You haven’t stayed for very long!” Scott said regretfully.
Lauren was cute and lively. Moreover, when she was here, she always brought fun and delicious food for everyone. Everyone liked her very much.
Even some of the customers knew that there was a cute little girl in their Villa. Sometimes, they would specially visit Lauren at night.
“We’ll all miss you.”
“Yeah, yeah!” Some of the waiters around them also came over when they heard the news.
“I will come to visit you guys in the future. We can then play together when the time comes!”
Another waiter brought a small bag of candy for Lauren. “Lauren, eat in the car. If someone bullies you, we’ll be here waiting to help you at any time!”
For some reason, Quinn felt that this “someone” was referring to himself. Was Lauren really so popular here?
Quinn had the urge to take off his mask to steal Lauren’s limelight. However, he was rational enough to control himself.
When Ben returned with the luggage, he saw this touching farewell scene. He put the suitcase aside, he couldn’t help but to tear together with them!
Finally, they embarked on the journey home.
Franklin intended to ease the relationship between Lauren and Quinn, so he deliberately let the two of them sit in the back seat while he sat in the passenger seat.
“Everyone, please sit properly. We’re going home!”
Ben shouted, but of course, no one paid him any attention. He silently drove the car into the night.
The two people in the back row did not like each other. One sat close to the left while the other sat close to the right. They wished there was a galaxy between them. Their movements were also very similar. They both looked out of the window and absolutely did not look at each other.
Franklin sighed. As their brother, he had to endure too much. Now, he even had to find a topic for them to talk about.
“Ahem. That was a close call. That cabinet almost smashed the child.”
“Quinn, you are not bad. You were very brave just now. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know how to end this.”
Quinn was a person who would not be swayed by force, but once he was praised by others, he also felt embarrassed.
After he got into the car, he took off his mask and hat, revealing his exquisite chin.
The sky was completely dark, and the lights in the car were not turned on. Only the flickering lights on the roadside shone on Quinn’s handsome face. Every frame could be used as a poster.
Of course, that was only if he did not speak. Some people look pretty good until they open their mouths.
To Lauren, that “some people” was Quinn.
Upon hearing Franklin’s praises, he said proudly, “Of course, being a hero has always been my weakness. Franklin, do you still remember when the fat boy next door was hit by a basketball? I was the one who took him to the infirmary on a bicycle.”
Franklin did not hesitate to undermine him. “You were the one who threw that basketball.”
Lauren could not help but laugh out loud.
Quinn’s face was a little embarrassed. He racked his brain and thought of another matter. “Then, that time Mr. Hayes fell, I carried him to the hospital and ran for twenty minutes!”
Franklin exposed him again, “At that time, I was afraid that you would feel guilty and did not tell you. Mr. Hayes fell because you dropped your pen on the ground and did not pick it up. Moreover…the hospital was ten minutes away from us, but you took a long detour.”
Although she felt sorry for Mr. Hayes, Lauren still couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Quinn’s expression turned from sunny to dark.
