Seth quickly stood up and said, “Okay, take care, Mr. Torres.”
After taking a few steps, Franklin turned back.
“Oh right, I hope that the news about my brother will not spread in the school.
The truth has yet to be found out. This kind of rumor is the biggest threat to
the Torres family’s image.”
“Okay, I will inform the students about it.”
It was already the second lesson in the afternoon. There were no students in
the corridor, so it was a good opportunity to have a chat.
Bryce was like a withered eggplant. He lowered his head and did not say a
word.
They stood in the corridor, leaning against the railing.
“What are you thinking about?” Franklin looked at Bryce.
“T’m not thinking about anything. I just don’t understand why that person
would frame me.”
Franklin rubbed his temples. He did not understand either.
What was going on in the world today?
“Actually..t might not be a frame-up. Maybe what he said is the truth?” Lauren
said.
Bryce stomped his foot when he heard what Lauren said.
“What do you mean? If what he said is the truth, then it proves that I’m lying.
Are you saying that I hit someone? Then why did you defend me so much in the
office just now?
Lauren realized that Bryce had a unique characteristic when he talked. He did
not listen to what others were saying. Instead, he just went on and on without
listening to any explanation.
That’s not what I meant! It’s possible that neither of you lied.
This..Franklin! Look at Lauren! She’s crazy! What she said makes no sense.”
Lauren shook her head. It seemed Bryce simply didn’t understand her at all.
Luckily, Franklin, who had been with Lauren for nearly two months,
understood what she meant.
On top of that, the only thing that could get her attention must be a ghost.
You mean someone hit Jaxxon and then framed Bryce?
Lauren nodded and then shook her head.
“Not just anyone. I mean a ghost framed him
“A ghost framed me?” Bryce repeated Lauren’s words in a daze. He knew all
four words, but he did not fully understand what she meant.
Lauren looked at Bryce’s confused expression and shook her head. She had no
intention of explaining it to Bryce as she did not have much time left.
Since Fiona had something to do with this matter, she only needed t
Fiona.
“Let’s go!
Lauren said to Franklin and Bryce. Then, she took the lead and walked toward
the school’s field.
“Where are we going? Bryce asked as he caught up with Lauren and Franklin.
On the other hand, Franklin trusted Lauren very much. He did not ask any
questions and simply followed her.
There was no one on the field at the moment. Lauren took out Fiona’s test
paper from her pocket dimension. She had previously retrieved it from the
archive.
Now that the matter had come this far, Bryce finally understood what Lauren
wanted to do.
He walked up to Lauren.
Even though there was no one around, he still whispered to Lauren, “Lauren,
you’re crazy! It’s still broad daylight and you’re doing all this in the middle of
the school. What if someone sees you? How do you explain it?
“I suspect that Fiona is the reason why you were framed!”
Then, Lauren told Bryce about her speculation.
“So, if we want to find out the truth, we have to summon Fiona. There’s no one
on the field right now. It’s the best time!
Although it was broad daylight and it was difficult to summon a ghost, it was
still possible for Lauren to summon a ghost with the help of a primordial spirit.
Therefore, Lauren took out the aura cane from her pocket dimension. She had
used this aura cane many times before and it allowed her to use her aura to
find the direction of the ghost.
In the past, Lauren had been able to capture the direction of the ghost
successfully each time. However, the aura cane did not move at all this time.
Lauren was not able to find the direction of the ghost.
Lauren frowned and reactivated the aura cane. However, the aura cane was still
motionless and lifeless. It looked no different from an ordinary piece of wood.
“What’s going on? It shouldn’t be!”
With her tiny frame, Lauren held the aura cane that was even taller than her.
She stood there, frowning and muttering to herself.
Franklin had seen this aura cane before, but this was the first time he had seen
how it was used.
“What’s wrong?
Lauren raised her head, her face full of confusion.
“This aura cane can’t detect any aura from Fiona. This is impossible. As long as
this ghost is still in this world, it can definitely be detected. Could it be that
Fiona’s soul has dissipated?
