Chapter 57: No Match for the Wild Child
[System Divine Nine: There are more children here today. Perhaps that little ghost will make her move today.]
“That’s right. That’s why I need to stay alert and keep a close watch.”
Ben’s heavenly eye had been switched off. There was nothing he could do by sitting here now. He took out his phone and reported the latest developments to Franklin. Then, he began to play the game ‘Fight the Landlord’ on his phone.
Lauren was not feeling bored either. In the past few years, she had often sat alone in the church.
Suddenly, there was a clamor from the line at the snack bar.
“Your daughter dirtied my daughter’s dress and broke her headband. Do you have any idea how expensive this headband is? The diamonds on it are all real diamonds!”
The crowd was bustling with activity. Lauren was short, so she could not see what was happening in the middle of the crowd. However, the voice sounded familiar.
She pulled Ben and squeezed to the front. As expected, the person who had just cursed was Beth’s mother, whom she saw at the entrance.
Her daughter, Beth, was standing at the side and crying. There was a large brown stain on her white dress, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
An ice-cream cone was thrown on the ground. It seemed that the stain on her dress was chocolate-flavored ice-cream.
Beside the ice-cream cone, the headband on Beth’s head was broken into two pieces, and there was some brown ice-cream on it.
Beth’s mother was also scolding a mother and her daughter.
The mother was in her thirties, and she had a kind face. Her daughter looked frightened by Beth’s overbearing mother, and she was hiding behind her mother, not daring to speak.
“Don’t talk nonsense. We didn’t even touch your daughter.”
“What a joke! Don’t tell me I’ve wronged you? Don’t talk so much. Pay up and apologize to my daughter. Otherwise, I’ll get my lawyer to sue you!”
The people around did not dare to move forward. Many of them even took out their phones to take pictures.
The two mothers did not back down. Beth’s mother was very aggressive and kept pointing at the other mother and scolding her.
“Like mother, like daughter. Look at how you’ve taught your daughter!”
These words were so harsh that Lauren could not help but frown.
At this moment, a little girl standing next to Lauren said softly, “Mommy, that girl was obviously the one who accidentally spilled the ice cream on her own dress. Why did she scold the other person?”
The little girl’s mother let out a “Shhhh” and gestured for the little girl to stop talking.
“This woman doesn’t look like she’s easy to mess with. Let’s not get involved in this mess.”
The two of them conversed in a low voice, so no one beside them could hear them. However, Lauren’s hearing and vision were better than others, so she could hear them clearly.
As the saying went, ‘children’s words carry no harm’ was not without reason.
There would always be people who saw the truth and dared to say it.
Lauren had long disliked Beth and her mother. This mother and daughter pair dared to cause trouble here?
As the owner of Star Dream Amusement Park, of course, she would not allow it!
Lauren shook off Ben’s hand and ran forward. She first ran to the front of the wronged mother and daughter.
“Auntie, may I know your surname?”
When the woman saw the little girl who had suddenly appeared, she was lost for a moment.
However, she told Lauren her surname.
“So it’s Auntie Bowen.” After getting the answer, Lauren turned to Beth’s side.
“This old Auntie, you keep saying that your daughter’s skirt was dirtied by Auntie Bowen’s daughter. May I know what evidence do you have?”
Catherine Brown recognized Lauren at a glance. “Why is it you again, wild child!”
Ben could not take it anymore. He rushed forward and shielded Lauren behind him. “Who are you calling a wild child!”
Catherine was shocked. “What? A man is bullying a woman?! If it’s not your business, then stay out of it!”
At this moment, a group of staff ran over. After they evacuated the crowd, they stayed at the scene to understand the situation.
Without the surrounding crowd, Catherine became even more arrogant.
“I want to call the police! These two girls bullied my Beth!”
This time, it was really slander.
“Do you know who she is? She’s the youngest daughter of the Torres Group, Lauren Torres!”
Worried that Lauren would be hurt, Ben hurriedly mentioned the Torres family.
When the staff and Catherine heard this, they were both stunned.
Catherine reacted for a moment and actually smiled disdainfully.
“I thought it was some wild child, I didn’t expect it to be worse than a wild child! Do you know which family we are from? We are the Brown family! The Torres Group even has business agreements with us!”
“Who doesn’t know that the Torres family has a daughter who was not pampered and loved by others?! So she’s here?”
After listening to Catherine, Ben now then remembered where he had seen her and her daughter.
