Chapter 11 Jasper's expression changed as he felt something was off , " Are all these people here to adopt Laura ? " There were too many of them ! Laura might be good - looking , but this was getting excessive . Xander picked up his phone and checked , and then smirked when he saw the trending topic on Twitter . " They're not here to adopt Laura ; they're here for the money . " Laura's appearance had caught the attention of a highly acclaimed director , who had posted on Twitter asking for her contact information . He wanted her to play the role of the male lead's daughter in a disaster film he was preparing . All Hestryans knew how influential this director was . The male lead was also a winner of numerous awards . If Laura started out alongside the best actor , there was no limit to her future . Now , her name was trending all over the internet . Laura wasn't just a pitiful little girl ; she was also an emerging child star and a massive cash cow ! Jasper was fuming . " If they can't adopt her , they shouldn't pretend to ! Adopting her for money and taking her home … Who knows if they'll treat her well ! " Antonio watched as this group of people entered the orphanage with selfie sticks , acting like tourists as they smiled at the cameras . His eyes narrowed , and suddenly , he walked in . His three sons were bewildered . " Dad ? What are you doing ? " His tone was resolute . " Bringing her back home . " Laura sat in Grace's lap , sobbing uncontrollably , her head spinning . She couldn't understand why she wasn't Antonio's daughter . She thought , " I didn't make a mistake , but why am I not his daughter ? " She couldn't figure it out . " Did my mother lie to me ? " she thought . Grace wiped away her tears and snot with tissues , patiently consoling her , " Alright , alright , Lala , stop crying . You're breaking my heart with your tears . I know you're sad now , but if you cry like this , you won't look pretty anymore . " Laura was heartbroken , her chest aching and making it hard for her to breathe . Laura looked up at Grace with a pitiful expression . " Ms. Mitchell , I will never have a daddy again , right ? " Grace's expression changed , and she held Laura's hand . " How can that be ? You're the smartest child in our orphanage , and smarter than all . the other kids combined . You will have a daddy who is even better than this one . Alright ? " 1/2 Chapter 11 Laura wasn't comforted . So what if there was a better one ? She just liked that man . He looked exactly like her . Seeing Laura fall silent , Grace knew she wasn't making her feel better , She was about to say more when the hallway suddenly erupted with noise . " Everyone from the live - streaming channel , I'm in the hallway now . Let's go find Lala , okay ? " Laura blinked and looked toward the door , where people holding selfie sticks were looking around . Suddenly , someone locked eyes with her . " Found her ! " Startled , she tried to get up , but the adults hurried over , filming her with their phones . " Oh my goodness , darling ! You must be Laura ! You're even more beautiful in person than in the pictures . You're stunning ! " While they were saying these words , they didn't really look at her . They were just looking at the image of her inside their live - streaming channel . Laura was baffled , glancing at Grace with a sense of fear . Grace immediately shielded her and spoke with caution . " Where did you all come from ? Who let you in ? Do you not understand the rules ? No filming is allowed here . Turn off your livestream immediately ! " The live streamer exchanged glances , then put on smiles . " What are you doing , Ms. Mitchell ? We're here to adopt this child . We're just seeing which one of us has a connection with her so we can take her home and take care of her . She's an orphan , isn't she ? " Laura's heart skipped a beat at their words . " They're here to adopt me ? " she mused . She looked at the shrewd - looking adults , as well as the unfriendly older siblings . She shook her head in resistance . " I don't want this ! They're not good people ! " she thought . 2/2
