Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The sudden deaths of Pauline and Irene had left a lot of things unexplained.

For example, where did the other missing children go?

The number of cages in the basement definitely did not match the number of missing children. Could it be that the other missing children had really gone missing?

And where did Master Maverick’s long-lost curse come from?

How did Pauline and Irene die? Were they the only culprits? Was there no one else behind the scenes?

All the questions were now a mess in Lauren’s mind.

“Lauren, what are you thinking about? Why are you frowning?”

After leaving the police station, Franklin noticed that Lauren’s mood was obviously different from before.

“Hasn’t this matter already been resolved? Don’t think too much about it. Those children that were rescued have already been sent to the hospital.”

Lauren smiled and nodded. She did not want Franklin to worry either.

“I know, Franklin! I just feel that it’s very strange that Pauline and Irene suddenly died.”

She did not tell them about the doubts and guesses in her heart to avoid making them even more worried.

“Are we going home now? But I want to go to the hospital to see those children first.”

At this moment, Lauren suddenly remembered something.

She turned to Quinn, who was sitting next to her, and said, “Quinn, can you do me a favor? Ask those artistes from your company for the pendants. Those children need these pendants in order to wake up.”

Quinn nodded, indicating that he would take care of it.

“Pauline is only in charge of a dozen or so artistes, so there are not many pendants. But we have saved so many kids. What happened to the other kids’ pendants?”

Lauren shook her head, indicating that she did not know either. This was also one of the suspicious points that she was thinking about.

She did not rule out the possibility that some of the kids were used by Irene to preserve her youth.

Lauren had seen some information from the ancient books when she was trapped in the basement these two days.

Every time she saw Irene, Irene was wearing a very strong perfume. If Lauren guessed correctly, she was trying to cover up the stench on her body.

It was a method of preserving eternal youth created by evil men. These women made themselves young by eating food made from the placenta and some dead babies that died before the age of one.

However, there were some disadvantages to this method. First, the body would give off a bloody stench. Second, the placenta and the dead babies would also suck blood.
