“I think your granddaughter’s name is Apolline. She was a flower girl for your son Jack at the wedding banquet last year.”

Apolline smiled and nodded at Franklin when her name was suddenly mentioned.

“Hello, Mr. Franklin. My name is Apolline White. I’ve heard so much about you from Grandma. It’s my honor to meet you here.”

Lauren stood rooted to the ground. How could a six-year-old girl say such a thing? Why was she so formal?

Upon hearing what Apolline said, Sophia patted her on the back. It was as if she was praising her.

Franklin smiled. “Apolline is really polite.”

Sophia did not hide her satisfaction.

“Yes, I’ve taught this child etiquette since she was young. She’s doing very well now.”

After saying that, she cast a casual glance at Lauren. However, her gaze only lingered on Lauren for a moment before she turned to look at Franklin.

Naturally, Franklin understood what Sophia meant. He waved at Lauren, and Lauren ran to his side and leaned against his leg.

“Madam White, this is…”

“I know who she is. You guys placed Lauren in someone else’s care for a few years, right? Why is she back? I remember Tina saying that Lauren was a threat to the Torres family and could never be brought back. Why is she suddenly back now?”

The news of the Torres family sending their granddaughter away had caused quite a stir back then, so everyone was well aware of the reason behind it. This was especially true for Sophia, who was also a good friend of the matriarch of the Torres family, Tina.

Even though the old lady in front of Lauren looked rather scary and overly serious, Lauren did not care.

She raised her hand and waved at Sophia. “Hello, Grandma. I’m Lauren.”

Sophia opened her mouth slightly. Apolline, who was beside Sophia, had an even more exaggerated reaction. She actually raised her hand and covered her mouth with it, as if Lauren’s actions just now were extremely unbelievable.

Lauren felt a little upset in her heart. They were not living in the 15th or 16th century. Was there a need to act like this?

It was obvious that Sophia could lower her head and talk to Lauren, but she refused to do so. She raised her head high and then lowered her eyes as if looking at Lauren would taint her eyes. Clearly, she did not have the slightest respect for Lauren.

Of course, her words were equally infuriating.

“You don’t have to call me grandma. You can just call me Madam White.”
