Lauren shook her head contemptuously. The other two kids beside her also shook their heads.

“I’ve been holding the pen for too long. My hands are stiff. Let’s stretch out the arms and legs.”

Bryce, the so-called king of the game, could not stand being looked down upon like this. He focused his attention and began the next round.

The equipment in this amusement arcade was really tricky. An expert like Bryce could not even pick it out after playing three rounds.

Fortunately, the doll was slowly approaching the exit.

Bryce stuffed the last coin into the machine. The doll was only a step away from the exit.

Lauren was so nervous that she held her breath.

The two children who had been watching from the side were now behind them.

When Bryce started to control the direction, Lauren felt as if she was watching the finals of a sports competition. She tensed up the whole body.

The moment the claws caught the doll, Bryce carefully turned the joystick to the left.

The holding power was still not enough, so the doll dropped in an instant.

However, it just happened to fall into the hole!

Lauren instantly cheered as she raised her two small hands and jumped around.

“Oh! I got a new doll. Great!”

The two children who felt disappointed had an unhappy look on their faces as Lauren carried the doll out. Lauren cracked a big smile with the doll in her arms. She was so proud of her brothers who stood by her side. Being pampered by others was such a nice experience. It was really great.

After that, Lauren spent the rest of the coins in this amusement arcade and then went to the children’s clothing section which was located on the fourth floor.

There were many famous children’s clothing stores on this floor. The clothes inside were all very beautiful.

Lauren was surprised when she took the escalator up.

“Wow, this dress looks so pretty! That dress looks good too, and so does this small handbag.”

Lauren rubbed her chin with her fingers.

Well, it would be great if she could buy the entire store. Although she had enough money...

She glanced at the two young men standing next to her. She was afraid that they would be frightened if she showed how rich she was. It was better to keep a low profile.

Franklin pulled Lauren into the nearest children’s clothing store.

This clothing store sold the clothes which suited the girls from noble families. The dresses inside were very elegant.

Lauren wrinkled her nose. She was not very interested in this kind of dress. She held onto Franklin’s hand and turned around, wanting to leave.

Unexpectedly, Franklin met someone he knew. The person they encountered was also an acquaintance of the Torres family.

It was an old lady who was the same age as Madame Torres. She was accompanied by a few men in suits, who looked like either assistants or bodyguards. This old lady was holding the hand of a little girl who was about three years older than Lauren.

The little girl stood upright beside the old lady, just like a small model in a shop window.

“Hello, Madame White. What a coincidence to meet you here.”

Madame White was the matriarch of another large corporation.

The White Group was not as great as the Torres Group, but it still had a good reputation. Moreover, Madame White and Madame Torres had a very deep friendship. It was said that they had known each other for more than fifty years.

Therefore, Franklin and the others in the Torres family respected Madame White very much.

Every year when they had time, they would visit Madame White with Madame Torres.

Madame White was also a very mighty woman. Like Madame Torres, she would not deal with affairs of the White Group, but she still affected the running of the company indirectly.

Moreover, if any big things happened, she would be the one to handle them.

Speaking of which, Quinn and Bryce were afraid of Madame White a lot. This was because every time they visited her, Madame White always said that Bryce’s bearing was not good and that Quinn was too talkative. Therefore, when they faced her, the two of them would become statues, not daring to move or speak.

This was why now Bryce did not want to utter a word in front of Madame White. He was very respectful. After greeting her, he stood by the side, falling silent.

Usually, when Franklin met someone familiar, Lauren would also stand beside him obediently, afraid that she would cause trouble for Franklin.

Madame White glanced at the few of them and fixed her gaze on Franklin’s face.

Although she was already old, she still maintained her elegance and dignity. Her face was still covered with makeup, and she wore many rings and bracelets.

“Franklin, what a coincidence. I’m surprised to see you here today. Are you here to inspect the shop? I heard that the Torres Group recently sold another piece of land. Not bad.. It was a wise choice to sell that piece of land.”
