At this moment, it was as if Lauren and Quinn were connected in spirit.
“Pauline, may I take a look at the child inside?”
Pauline was stunned for a moment, but she did not reject Quinn.
“That’s good too. If you talk to her, she won’t have so much resentment, and it will help you better on the road to success. However, this child can’t talk, and you can’t touch her either.”
Quinn let out a sigh of relief, things had gone unexpectedly smoothly.
“Master, please come out for a moment. I have some questions I’d like to consult you about.”
Perhaps they were confident that nothing would go wrong, so Irene and Pauline allowed Quinn and Lauren to be alone with each other.
The master had just walked out from the other side of the folding screen when Quinn walked in from the other side.
When Quinn saw the child in the cage, he was shocked beyond words.
He did not expect them to put a child in the cage.
However, the child was wearing black clothes and a mask. Quinn was not sure if this person was Lauren.
There was someone else on the other side of the folding screen. Quinn could not say anything that would expose their identity. He couldn’t make any strange noises, or else they would definitely find out.
Quinn stood in front of the cage, not knowing what to do.
He squatted down, wanting to take a closer look.
As he didn’t want to make the people on the other side of the folding screen suspicious, Quinn began to talk.
“I heard that you can help me on my path to fame more smoothly. I hope that you can bless my future star path to be smooth, and I will worship you well.”
Quinn repeated the same words over and over again.
As he spoke, he tried to find an opportunity to confirm the identity of the child in the cage.
However, before Quinn could think of a solution, the child in the cage reached out her hand and grabbed Quinn’s hand that was holding onto the railing.
In that instant, Quinn was able to confirm that the person in the cage was Lauren.
He did not know how he was able to confirm it, but his heart told him that it was her.
Lauren’s small hands were still very warm, but they were stained with dust and were a little dirty.
Quinn raised his other hand and placed it on Lauren’s hand.
In just a few short seconds, both of them had gained a lot of courage from each other.
If they dragged on, they would arouse suspicion.
Lauren hurriedly touched the lock on the cage and made a motion to turn the key.
Quinn immediately understood Lauren’s intention.
However, before they could continue their conversation, Pauline spoke up.
“It’s almost time. Quinn, come out. The ceremony is about to begin.”
