Chapter 174: A Young Man
Franklin was also surprised. Back then, when Mr. Hayes told him about this matter, he was puzzled. Then, something else occupied his mind, and he had forgotten about it.
Now, he suddenly used that key to open the door of this villa.
He knew that Lauren was not an ordinary girl. She had some wonderful abilities and connections. For example, she had left home and stayed in the hotel that was the most difficult to book in the country.
It was not hard to imagine that Lauren had a lot of connections.
However, he did not expect Lauren to own a villa here.
How much more was this little girl hiding?
Since the key was in their hands and the door was open, Franklin brought Mr. Hayes into the villa.
However, what surprised them was that the interior was furnished with a very well-matched style.
There were a complete set of large pieces of furniture, as well as a complete set of small pieces of various supplies, including hot pots, electric cookers and many others.
Mr. Hayes walked into the living room and saw a piece of paper on the coffee table.
He bent down and picked up the paper. When he saw the contents, he quickly called Franklin over.
“Master Franklin, come over and take a look.”
Franklin came forward. As he read the paper’s contents, he could tell that those words were written by Lauren. He could already recognize Lauren’s handwriting.
Looking at these words, he could imagine the expression on Lauren’s face when she said these words.
“Mr. Hayes, all the furniture here is brand new. I am giving you this house and I hope you will be happy living here.”
No one knew when Lauren prepared these things.
Franklin smiled.
However, Mr. Hayes looked fearful.
“Master Franklin, does this house really belong to Miss Torres? How did Miss Torres get a house here? This one must be worth tens of millions, right?”
“I’m afraid so.”
Other than the little surprise in the beginning, Franklin was very calm now. He would not be surprised if he found something new about Lauren.
Hearing Franklin’s affirmation, Mr. Hayes quickly put the key in his hand into Franklin’s hand.
“Master Franklin, I can’t have this house. It’s too expensive.”
Franklin put the key back into the hands of Mr. Hayes.
“Mr. Hayes, since Lauren gave this to you, you should take it. Even if you don’t, I plan to buy a house for you to retire in.”
Mr. Hayes, who was just out for a walk, suddenly owned a small villa worth $60 million.
When he returned from his walk, he was still in a daze.
Lauren and Quinn had already woken up and were playing cards in the tent.
“You’re cheating!”
“You’re the one cheating! How can there be five fives in a deck of cards?!”
Before they even got close to the tent, they could hear the two of them arguing again.
Seeing that Franklin and Mr. Hayes had returned, Lauren went out to greet them.
“Franklin, what’s wrong with Mr. Hayes? Why does he look like he’s in shock?”
Franklin looked at Lauren with a half-smile and nodded.
“Mm, he’s indeed in shock. He’s in shock because of you.”
Lauren opened her eyes wide, indicating she was innocent.
“But I haven’t done anything bad!”
Franklin stretched out his hand and knocked Lauren’s head.
“You didn’t do anything wrong. You did a good thing, but you scared Mr. Hayes.”
Lauren tilted her head and still couldn’t figure it out.
“What about the villa you gave Mr. Hayes?”
Lauren came to a sudden realization. So this was what they were talking about.
“How did you get a villa here? Every villa here is worth more than fifty million dollars on average, right?”
Franklin said this in an affirmative tone, not as a question.
Lauren rolled her eyes and finally managed to squeeze out the words “it’s a secret”. This made Franklin very uncomfortable, but he did not pursue the matter further.
Lauren would say it when she wanted to.
Later, they played cards for a while before driving home.
As the maids were on vacation, so no one was cooking at home. They went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for the hotpot tonight.
“Meat! I want to eat meat!”
Quinn pushed the shopping cart and watched as she kept putting beef and mutton into it.
“Lauren, you eat so much meat, our family can’t afford you!”
Lauren put a bag of meatballs in the car. “I don’t need you to feed me. I have plenty of money.”
Quinn hummed disdainfully, he thought that Lauren was joking. Walking behind them, Franklin had his hands in his pockets.
He thought to himself, ‘Lauren is telling the truth.’
In the end, Franklin and Quinn each had a big bag in their hands, while Lauren walked in the middle with an ice-cream cone in her hand. She licked the ice cream slowly.
Mr. Hayes and Ben did not go with them. They waited in the car.
“Time to go home!”
However, about two blocks away from the Torres Mansion, Lauren suddenly asked, “There’s a young man squatting in front of our house. Who is he?”
