Hearing Victoria's voice, Lauren hurriedly said, "Victoria, I heard about you. Congratulations. I'm really happy for you. You achieved your dream and accomplished what many women can't. You're really amazing."
Victoria replied. "Lauren, I don't think you're calling me to congratulate or praise me, right? You must have heard about what happened in Orlando, that's why you're calling. I know the Howards' stance, but I can tell you clearly that no one can stop me from doing what I want right now."
Lauren said, "You've misunderstood. Victoria, I don't want to stop you. I know that you're a kind person. You've lived in Orlando for so long and love the citizens of Orlando more than I do. Those people are like your family. How could you hurt them? I'm calling to ask if you've seen Jordan? I couldn't get through to him. I wonder if you've seen him since you left Immortal Lake?"
