236: Bloody Handprint

Bloody Handprint

When the woman in red heard someone call her Auntie, she seemed to be angry.0

She was obviously very young. Her facial expression changed.

"You little girl, who are you calling Auntie?"

Ruby Cromwell ignored her.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know music. Music is created for everyone. You can enjoy it. But please don't flaunt the little knowledge you know in your ignorance. Otherwise, it will be very embarrassing."

After saying that, Ruby Cromwell left. Lauren Torres and Ben Carson were left behind, looking at each other in astonishment.

The audience who had not yet dispersed all burst into laughter.

The woman in red felt very embarrassed after being commented on by a child.

She said in exasperation, "Hey, whose child is this? You are so ill-mannered!"

However, Ruby Cromwell had already walked quite a distance away.

Lauren Torres quickly grabbed Ben Carson's hand and chased after her.

At this moment, Ruby Cromwell was standing quietly with her hands crossed in front of her body.

Her back looked thin but was straight.

When Ruby Cromwell said those words just now, Lauren Torres felt that she was not a child at all. She was more like a guardian of music.

Moreover, she did not have any stage fright when facing an adult. This really made Lauren Torres look at her in a new light.

Lauren Torres ran faster and caught up with Ruby Cromwell.

"Ruby, you were so awesome just now! How do you know about those things?"

Lauren Torres knew nothing about symphonies.

In the past few years, Lauren Torres had always been learning whatever she was interested in. However, she had never touched symphonies.

"Oh, I just happened to know something about it."

Ruby Cromwell's eyes seemed to flicker.

'Alright.'

Lauren Torres shrugged and accepted the perfunctory answer. She did not ask further.

Ruby Cromwell always seemed to have many secrets.

Lauren Torres pulled Ben Carson along and asked him to bring them to Mcdonald's.

Lauren Torres liked McDonald's hamburgers the most. She directly ordered two children's meals.

Ben Carson did not like to eat these things. So he went next door and packed a box lunch.

While Lauren Torres was eating a hamburger with big bites, Ruby Cromwell was just staring at her meal in a daze. She had no intention to eat it.

"Ruby, why aren't you eating?"

"I don't like hamburgers and French fries."

Lauren Torres was shocked once again. There was actually a child who did not like hamburgers and French fries!

Ruby Cromwell was really the strangest child she ever knew.

After the meal, Lauren Torres did not want to return to the Torres mansion so soon. After all, there was no one at home to play with her.

Therefore, Lauren Torres dragged the two of them to Star Dream Amusement Park.

"Miss Torres, why are you going again? Didn't we accompany you to the park on the weekend two weeks ago?"

"But none of you played with me. With Ruby around, I'll have a playmate. We can play the carousel together."

Of course, this time, Lauren Torres was also disappointed again.

Ruby Cromwell was just like those adults. She just watched Lauren Torres play by the side as if she had no interest at all.

Thus Lauren Torres played the carousel again by herself.

She was not sure if it was a happy day.

After sending Ruby Cromwell home, Lauren Torres and Ben Carson drove back home. They spent a lot of time on the road. It was almost 6 o'clock when they reached home.

During weekends, Franklin Torres would not work late when working overtime. Thus when Lauren Torres saw Franklin Torres at home, she was not surprised.

What surprised her was Bryce Torres was also home.

At this moment, Bryce Torres was telling Franklin Torres about the strange things that happened in the school.

When Lauren Torres changed her shoes and walked into the living room, Bryce Torres glanced at her and continued to talk to Franklin Torres.

Lauren Torres ignored him and sat down by Franklin Torres's side. Franklin Torres reached out his hand and touched the back of her head as a gesture of greeting.

"Brother, didn't I tell you last time that strange noises were coming from our dormitory? It's getting more and more mysterious these few days. We were in class when the power suddenly went out. After a few seconds, the power came back again, and then the power went out again. We sent an electrician to check it, but we didn't find anything wrong."

Franklin Torres asked, "Your class was suspended for such a small matter?"

"Of course not. When we were all preparing to go to self-study this morning, a girl found a red handprint at the entrance of the girls' dormitory. She was scared to death."

After the investigation by the school, they found out the handprint was not painted on. It was a real blood handprint. They then called the police, who had surrounded the school for investigation. Therefore the class was suspended.

Bryce Torres had nowhere to go, so he could only come home.

"Nowadays, there are several versions of ghost stories circulating in the girls' dorm."

Bryce Torres said in a serious tone.
