“They won’t look down on me if I become famous. So, I won’t complain no matter what price I have to pay to become famous. I just want to become famous.”
Quinn was close to tears. His acting skills were excellent.
Pauline knew the temptation of power and money as she had been in the entertainment industry for many years.
She didn’t doubt Quinn’s desire to become famous. She thought that he was just another person who wanted to take a shortcut to become famous.
Therefore, she opened the door of the room and let the two of them follow her in.
“Didn’t you always want to know what was the shortcut I mentioned? I’ll show you now.”
After saying that, Pauline said to Cynthia who was in the room, “It’s already time for breakfast. Hurry up and feed this little angel who brings you good luck.”
In a place where Pauline could not see, the corner of Quinn’s mouth twitched.
A little angel? This doll is so scary.
“Quinn, you stay here and watch.”
Of course, Quinn could only nod, but also not forgetting to show a very interested and very eager expression.
Then Pauline said, “It’s better for children not to watch this.”
She took Lauren by the hand and walked to another corner.
Quinn didn’t even have time to stop it.
Cynthia wept tiredly on the ground. When she heard what Pauline said, she had no choice but to stand up shakily and perform the ritual of offering breakfast.
The table was already covered with all kinds of food.
Quinn had watched Obmar perform the rest of the process before.
Cynthia dropped her blood into the bowl of porridge and knelt down to the plastic doll. Quinn noticed that Cynthia had removed a pendant from her neck.
He narrowed his eyes and found that the pendant was similar to Obmar’s.
Cynthia placed the pendant on the altar and placed the snacks in a circle around the pendant.
Cynthia looked very frightened. She was crying as she did these things.
Quinn was a little fascinated by the scene and found it quite interesting.
However, he did not know that Lauren was currently in the corner, being subjected to Pauline’s probing.
“What’s your name, young girl?”
Pauline squatted down and spoke to Lauren gently.
Lauren had no impression of Pauline. At most, she had met her once in the banquet hall.
Pauline squatted down to talk to Lauren, allowing Lauren to see her face clearly.
Pauline looked very shrewd, and there was coldness in her eyes. Although she had a smile on her face, she was not friendly at all.
Lauren remembered her script.
She pretended that she could not hear Pauline’s question and shook her head anxiously.
She wanted to make a sound, but she could only make a few inaudible sobs.
Pauline stretched out her right hand to touch Lauren’s face. Although Lauren was not afraid, she was still frightened by the sudden movement and took half a step back.
‘There’s a weird lady here,’ Lauren thought.
Pauline smiled slightly. She did not feel that her movement was offensive. Instead, she followed Lauren and took half a step forward.
In the end, her hand touched Lauren.
Although Pauline’s movements were very gentle, Lauren felt that Pauline was going to strangle her in the next second.
Of course, reality proved that Lauren was overthinking things.
Pauline pinched Lauren’s cheek, then stroked Lauren’s hair. She even praised Lauren for being a cute girl.
In the past, Lauren would sweetly give thanks whenever she heard someone praise her.
However, facing Pauline’s compliments, Lauren was not happy at all.
Lauren pretended to be confused again and shook her head.
At this moment, Quinn finally noticed the two people in the corner.
Worried that Lauren would be exposed, Quinn quickly ran over to help her.
“Pauline, my sister can’t speak and can’t hear anything. She won’t understand you at all.”
“What a pity. Your younger sister is so cute.”
Lauren felt that Pauline’s gaze was not only complimenting her cuteness, but was also trying to turn her into a living dead. Lauren took half a step back, hugged Quinn’s leg and hid behind him.
“Then how do you communicate with her at home?”
Quinn reacted quickly and replied, “My younger sister knows sign language. There are people who specialize in sign language at home to translate for us.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Pauline nodded her head in understanding.. Then, her hands started to make gestures.
