“Huh?” Half of the bun in Lauren’s hand fell on her nightdress. “How is this possible? I’ve seen their family photos in the living room at Ruby’s house. That person is Ruby’s father.”

Lauren and Franklin looked at each other. In an instant, Lauren recalled the melodramatic scenes in the eight o’clock TV series.

The reason why Ruby was so familiar with Samuel was that he was her biological brother.

Lauren was shocked by this discovery.

Franklin took out all the photos that had Samuel’s father in them and put them aside.

“It’s better if Ruby doesn’t see these photos. After all, this is her private matter.”

Lauren nodded and looked at the photos. Although the handsome man in the photos looked to be in his forties, it was not difficult to tell that he must have had a different style when he was young.

She found it hard to imagine that such a man would actually be two-timing.

Lauren shook her head. “As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“But Rene and Samuel have both passed away. What about their parents? Why hasn’t Ruby’s father visited her for so long? I’ve seen her family photo before. Both Ruby and her parents looked very happy in the photo.”

Franklin pinched his eyebrows.

“I don’t know the details. After graduating from high school, I rarely saw Samuel’s parents. I only saw them once at Samuel’s memorial, but...Samuel’s mother also committed suicide a few days after the memorial.”

Samuel’s mother also committed suicide?

“If that’s the case, then this family really has completely broken down,” Lauren said with regret.

Franklin stared at the stack of photos that he had picked out and placed aside. “I’m afraid it had already broken down before this. It was just that I didn’t hear about it. I’m sure Samuel doesn’t know about it either.”

So, Ruby had befriended Rene...

Lauren did not want to maliciously speculate about Ruby. However, it was really too much of a coincidence. Rene and Samuel definitely did not know that they had the same father as Ruby.

‘But why does Ruby like Samuel and Rene so much? Logically speaking, shouldn’t Ruby hate them?’

‘What does Ruby’s mother, Susan, think about this matter? Did she know that Ruby was a good friend of Rene and Samuel?’

‘Could Ruby’s attitude toward Susan have something to do with this matter?’

Suddenly, Lauren could not believe her previous judgment. There were too many twists and turns, and there were a lot of things about Ruby that could not be explained.

The sudden change in Ruby’s temperament, as well as Susan’s description of Ruby having mentioned Ruby’s sudden mastery of mathematics, made Lauren feel that Ruby must have been hiding something.

The change in temperament could be due to a physical and psychological blow, or...

Lauren remembered that evil aura. If she remembered correctly, every time the evil aura appeared, it was when she was with Ruby.

The evil aura appeared when Ruby fainted inside the kindergarten, in the hospital, and in the Torres family last night.

The evil auras always had the same characteristics. They were faint and very weak. They came and went very quickly.

Could this have something to do with Ruby?

Lauren immediately made a decision. She wanted to ask Susan about it.

All along, she had only heard the one-sided story from Ruby. Even what she knew about Susan was also heard from Ruby’s mouth.

Perhaps Susan had a different version.

However, Ruby was here today. It was not possible for Lauren to abandon Ruby on the first day. It was better to arrange another time in the future.

Quinn did not go to work today. His hand was injured yesterday and his forehead was injured the day before yesterday. Today, Mr. Hayes ordered him to rest at home. He woke up even later than Lauren.

Lauren had already finished eating two bean buns and drinking a large glass of milk before Quinn came downstairs.

Quinn sat across from Lauren at the dinner table.

Quinn glanced to his left and right. When he saw no one else, he said, “Lauren, is what you said yesterday true?”

“What did I say yesterday? I said a lot of things every day. Which one are you referring to?”

“Oh, which other one could I be talking about? You said yesterday that the house might not like me, and there are some...” Quinn licked his lips as if he did not want to say that word.. He said, “There are some strange things.”
