Chapter 129: Discovered
The sound of crying was indeed familiar.
Quinn lowered his head and exchanged a glance with Lauren and both of them spoke simultaneously.
“It’s the woman who cried in the hotel room the other day.”
“It’s Cynthia Finley.”
It seemed like Cynthia was the one who came down earlier than them.
“Pauline, I really can’t take it anymore. I have to endure their torture every day. They are so picky with food. I can’t sleep at night, and I have nightmares about them every night.”
Pauline Walker!
Quinn thought to himself, I’m not ready to face Pauline yet!
“I’ve already told you these precautions. Since you agreed to it back then, you have to endure the torture now. And if they’re not satisfied, it’s definitely because you didn’t serve them well.”
The signboard hanging on Cynthia’s room had the words “YH” written on it.
Lauren placed her hand on the doorknob, and was about to open the door to take a look, but was stopped by Quinn.
“Don’t do that. It’s easy to be discovered if you open the door.”
However, it was Quinn’s words that exposed them.
Pauline, who was in the room, was extremely cautious. She immediately heard a voice outside.
“Who’s outside?”
The sound of high heels could be heard from afar.
It was too late for Quinn and Lauren to run. They could only watch as the door opened in front of them.
Pauline Walker appeared in front of them.
It was the same as last time. Pauline was dressed in white, and her hair was so disheveled that she could even play the role of a ghost.
“Quinn? Why are you here?”
Quinn was quick-witted. He put on an innocent look and extended his right hand to greet Pauline.
“Hey, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect you to be here as well.”
From this angle, they could already see Cynthia in the room. She was currently sitting on the floor with tears in her eyes. She looked extremely thin and weak.
Seeing Quinn’s eyes fall on the inside of the room, Pauline walked out a little and conveniently closed the door.
“How did you find this place? Who is this little girl?”
Pauline’s voice was not as calm as before. In fact, she sounded a little panicked.
Pauline looked at Lauren.
Quinn subconsciously took a step forward and blocked Pauline’s view of Lauren who was behind him.
A bunch of reasons flashed through his mind, but in the end, he decided to give Pauline a half-true account of why he was there.
“Pauline, since you asked, I’ll tell you the truthwqqqqqqqqqqq. I heard from Obmar a few days ago that there’s a way to quickly become famous, so I followed him and found out about this place. I came here to take a look at what it is today, but I didn’t expect to run into you.”
Pauline was still a little doubtful. Her gaze swept up and down as she sized up the two of them.
“My sister didn’t have anyone to look after her today, so I had no choice but to bring her here. Don’t worry, Pauline. The two of us will definitely keep our mouths shut and won’t say anything. Furthermore, my sister is a mute.”
“She can’t say anything even if she wants to.”
Lauren was speechless.
Fine, she actually became a mute after coming out for a while.
“Furthermore, my sister’s hearing is only 20% of a toddler’s. She needs to wear a hearing aid to be able to hear things, so you don’t have to worry about her hearing our conversation at all.”
Lauren was speechless once again. It was fine if she couldn’t speak, but now she couldn’t even hear anything!
‘Quinn is really a good brother,’ Lauren thought.
At this moment, Lauren and Quinn were still holding hands. Lauren tightened her grip on Quinn’s hand, and Quinn instantly felt as if the bones in his hand were about to be broken by Lauren.
‘Oh my god! Why is this girl so strong?!’ Quinn thought.
Pauline asked, “What’s wrong with you? You don’t look too good.”
“I…I just have a stomachache.”
Pauline had arrived late on the day of the banquet, so she didn’t know about the relationship between Lauren and Isaac Atkinson. She was very unfamiliar with Lauren.
In order to dispel Pauline’s doubts, Quinn continued, “I really want to be famous. I’m the second son in my family, and my family has never wanted me to enter the entertainment industry. My brother takes over the company, and my family always thinks that he is the most capable son in the family.”
“And I am always ignored by them.”
Quinn spoke sincerely. After all, he was indeed always neglected by others at the dinner table.
Seeing that Pauline’s gaze was no longer as aggressive as before, Quinn knew that Pauline was starting to believe him, so he kept up the effort.
