Whitney fixed her stare on Laurel as her gaze exuded a sense of comfort. “Laurel, they’re the foster daughters that my daddy and mommy adopted into the family. They’re all brave heroines. You’ll definitely get along well with them.”
The girls stared at Laurel happily. They all gossipped among themselves. “This young girl looks extremely familiar,” Lil Ten said with a chuckle.
Sis Andy chuckled and said, “It’s Miss Laurel’s first time meeting us. How could we be familiar with each other?”
Lil Ten said, “Although I’ve never seen her before, she seems extremely friendly. Besides, she’s a fan of martial arts as well. Therefore, she gives off a strong sense of familiarity.”
“You’re right, Lil Ten. Miss Laurel likes fighting for justice. She has a really likable personality. Why don’t we treat her like our younger sister?” Sis Andy suggested.
Sis Rosie stared at Rosie. She suddenly chuckled and said, “Sis Andy, you’d like to treat Miss Laurel like your sister because you like her. However, have you ever thought about how we might bring Miss Laurel a lot of trouble if we do so?”
Sis Andy smacked her mouth and said, “I spoke without thinking. That wasn’t a good idea. Miss Laurel is a good girl. She has to lead a peaceful and joyous life. She shouldn’t have an unstable life like us.”
Laurel stared at the sisters. Upon noticing how lively, cheerful, and kind they were, her respect for Sir Ares and Madam Angeline grew at once.
She exclaimed, “I heard that all of you grew up in a family of gangsters. However, you all look just like daughters from noble families. You all seem knowledgeable, well-mannered, gentle, and virtuous. You don’t seem like gangsters at all. It’s evident that you foster parents taught you really well.”
The girls giggled happily.
Rosie said, “Miss Laurel, you speak really maturely despite your young age. Your personality is exactly the same as that of Jens.”
Whitney cast a deep gaze at Laurel. The suspicion she had toward Laurel intensified.
Laurel knew that it would be inappropriate for her to say so. She tried explaining herself at once. “Sisters, my results at school are terrible. I picked the wrong words to say. Don’t laugh at me.”
The sisters burst out into laughter as soon as she said that.
