Chapter 112: Smarter Than You

Just as everyone was wondering who this special guest was, they saw a cute little girl wearing a shiny black dress, and with the help of others, she walked onto the stage.

“Who is this! What a cute little girl!”

“Yeah, her face is so chubby, I want to pinch it!”

Two women, whom Quinn had never seen before, were chattering.

Quinn sighed in his heart. These two women were very animated, and were not calm and steady like an experienced actress should be. They were probably greenhorns.

At this moment, the self-proclaimed “calm and steady” Quinn looked towards the stage!!

‘Who is this?! Wasn’t he secretly ridiculing Lauren just now? Yet now, she is on the stage?! She was really capable!’ Quinn thought.

“Quinn, why is your hand shaking?” His assistant asked.

‘Was it shaking?’

Quinn looked at the goblet in his right hand. The red wine in the goblet was indeed shaking slightly.

Yes, his hand was shaking.

Quinn put down the goblet. He was not in the mood to watch what was happening on the stage.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Franklin. “Franklin, do you know where Lauren is?”

Franklin replied very quickly, “Yes.”

Quinn was speechless. Was this the answer he was looking for?

“Where did she go?”

“She said that a friend invited her to a small gathering.”

Quinn looked up at the well-dressed celebrities of the entertainment industry. Was this called a small gathering?

He secretly took a photo of Lauren on stage. In the photo, Lauren was waving to the people below the stage.

“Look, your sister is here! At my company’s annual meeting!”

“Nice picture.”

“You have nothing else to say? Aren’t you worried about her?”

“She’s four and a half, and you’re twenty-one, yet she’s already smarter than you. Why would I be worried?” said Franklin.

Quinn was expressionless and turned off the phone screen.

Perhaps to protect Lauren’s privacy, Isaac did not disclose her name. Moreover, as the content of today’s banquet was confidential, Lauren’s photo would not leak out.

Lauren said a few words in her baby voice on stage and made a few cute gestures and expressions, which attracted many excited cheers.

“My goodness, haven’t these people seen a child before?”

The assistant turned around and said, “Quinn, I’ve really never seen such a cute little girl before!!”

Quinn laughed in his heart.

He glanced down the stage and saw the actors and actresses that his assistant had pointed out to him earlier. They were extremely calm and were not like the others who were crazy about Lauren.

On the contrary, there was even a hint of disgust on their faces?

Quinn did not think too much about it. He was amazed that the people who Pauline nurtured were indeed different. They were very calm. With such an aura, it was no wonder that one or two of them could become popular celebrities.

After Isaac’s speech was finally over, Lauren left the stage. Her small figure quickly hid among the crowd.

Quinn’s assistant brought him around to meet people.

Soon, the dozen or so celebrities that Pauline had nurtured gathered together.

There were about a hundred celebrities in Golden Star. As there were not many of them, everyone was allocated resources.

“Other than a female celebrity who is currently filming overseas, all the other celebrities that Pauline had nurtured are here.”

Quinn looked around and saw that there were about thirteen people. They were sitting around and chatting.

The atmosphere was not too warm, but Quinn could still chat for a while.

As the annual party was a private event this year, many married celebrities would bring their children along to play.

While Quinn and his group were chatting, a little boy dressed in suit was playing on a nearby carpet.

He looked the same age as Lauren. According to his assistant, that little boy was the son of the female lead in the hit TV series “Wind and Clouds” ten years ago.

Quinn nodded his head in understanding. This TV series was indeed very popular. He was still young at that time, but he had watched it with his mother, who was resting in bed all day.

He still had an impression of the female lead, so he felt a lot more friendly when he looked at the little boy.

The other artistes, on the other hand, quietly rolled their eyes.

“This child is so noisy. Can’t he go play by the side?”

Quinn was a little speechless. It seemed that all of Pauline’s artistes had something in common — they didn’t like children.

The little boy seemed to have discovered something else. He got up from the carpet and jogged over to look for it.

However, he accidentally tripped over the carpet. The carpet was soft, so it was fine if he tripped over it. However, his hand knocked against the stereo that had been placed on the ground, and he immediately started crying.

The boy cried and called for his mother.
