“Fired together!” Baird Lane returned four words without mercy.
Gates was still a little worried, “But on the lady’s side …”
“You don’t have to worry about Christine White’s side, I’ll give her an explanation, you just need to do your thing, besides …” Baird Lane rubbed his brow, his eyes glazed over, “What about The Bort Family’s situation abroad?”
“Inch by inch.” Gates gave this answer.
Baird Lane raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?”
“The meaning is that Leo Bort wants to develop Chi in foreign countries, but the foreign market is already saturated, especially the piece of clothing industry, are monopolized by the major luxury brands, he wants to occupy a place in foreign countries, there is no possibility, now he has burnt out, and even …”
“What else, say!” Baird Lane frowned with some impatience.
Gates rubbed the tip of his nose and hurriedly organized his words, “He wants to go back to his country, and word has come back from the people I sent to spy on them that Leo Bort is preparing to go back to his country quietly.”
“How dare he!” Baird Lane grunted coldly.
Gates asked tentatively, “So President Lane, should I have someone warn him?”
“No, get him back!” Baird Lane said.
Gates froze slightly, “Come back? But you were …”
“He’s coming back so I can finish what I promised Christine White.” Baird Lane returned.
Leo Bort is abroad, he really can not take Leo Bort, after all, he is no more capable, it is impossible to put his hand abroad.
So the only way to get Leo Bort in jail is to get Leo Bort back.
He had been thinking before about what reason to use to summon Leo Bort back to his country, but he didn’t realize that Leo Bort himself had hit upon the idea, which saved him some effort.
Gates also knew what Baird Lane had promised Christine White, so at this moment he also reacted and took the initiative to propose, “Why don’t you President Lane, I’ll ask someone to reveal without a trace before Leo Bort’s heel that you and his lordship have already disregarded the news of that incident, and in this way, his return to the country will be faster.”
“Could be.” Baird Lane had a glint of appreciation in his eyes, “Double your bonus this month.”
Gates’ glasses reflected back the reflection and excitement was written all over his eyes, “Thanks President Lane, does President Lane have any more questions for you?”
He had a doggy look about him.
Baird Lane’s face got serious, “How’s Molly Bort doing these days?”
“She’s recovering nicely and can already get out of bed and walk around.” Gates answered truthfully, then nagged, “Only …”
“But what? Don’t hesitate, just say it!” Baird Lane increased his volume.
Gates sighed, “President Lane, it turns out Ms. Molly Bort lied to you all along.”
“What do you mean?”
“In fact ….. … Miss Molly Bort has been abroad for the past three years and has always had a boyfriend by the name of Toby Dean, a jewelry designer, and the two are very affectionate, and Miss Molly Bort didn’t even enter the Royal Academy of Ballet and Dance’s when she left the country, and she has always been with that Toby Dean.”
“What did you say?” Baird Lane’s grip on his cell phone writhed violently, “You’re saying Molly has a boyfriend abroad?”
“Yes.” Gates replied with certainty, “That’s the message that came back from the people we sent to spy on the father and daughter, and it can’t be false.”
At that, Baird Lane’s face hardened, and there was the slightest hint of deceived anger in his eyes.
Molly Bort has a boyfriend abroad and is still in a good relationship, so does that mean that she likes that man a lot?
Could he also assume that she didn’t actually have any feelings for him?
Why else would she have betrayed him in the first place so directly without even a moment’s hesitation, and left him to escape alone.
“President Lane, are you okay?” Hearing heavy, suppressed breathing on the other end of the line, Gates inquired with concern.
Baird Lane took a deep breath and pushed down the anger in his heart for the time being and said in a deep voice, “I’m fine, you just said that Molly Bort is very close to that Toby Dean, just how close?”
“I don’t know exactly, I heard from our people that the first day after Miss Molly Bort left the country, she had someone look for Toby Dean, who went to see her, and she told that Toby Dean that she had had a successful bone marrow transplant and wanted to reconcile with Toby Dean, and from that … ”
At this point, Gates lowered his eyelids, his volume unconsciously diminishing, “It’s evident that Ms. Molly Bort cares a lot about that Toby Dean.”
“Care …” Baird Lane whispered those two words, his voice as cold as an icy hell, and his eyes, looking out at the night scene, were even more beady.
From these words of Gates, he had been convinced of what he had just guessed, that the person Molly Bort really loved was that Toby Dean, not him!
But that’s okay, after all, they broke up back then too, whoever she wants to love is her freedom, he won’t interfere too much, but why did she tell him she loves him again and wants to make up with him again this time when she came back?
Baird Lane’s temples bulged with veins and he asked through clenched teeth, “What is that Toby Dean other than a jewelry designer?”
“Not much of an identity left, really, he’s good looking.” Gates thought for a moment before coming up with the only good thing about that Toby Dean.
The knot in Baird Lane’s throat slid up and down a little, and the icy words spilled out of his thin lips, “So it is!”
He finally understood, no wonder when he first asked Molly Bort why she didn’t stay abroad for treatment, how the medical level abroad was higher than at home, she stammered and couldn’t answer at that time, and he thought it was because she was mentally ill, and he didn’t make her answer necessarily.
Now that I think about it, that’s simply because she didn’t dare to answer, the reason why she came back to China for treatment was that she wanted to borrow his power to find suitable bone marrow resources, and when she said that she loved him, it was also because she wanted to tie him up, so that he would pay for her in a constant stream.
Instead, she used him to cheat him from the beginning to the end, and it’s ridiculous that he was so devoted and busy with her because of the feelings he once had that he even went so far as to count Christine White’s bone marrow in order to let her live, and even when her father caused him to lose his child in the end, he still defended her, and now it seems like he’s really the dumbest person under the sky!
At that thought, Baird Lane’s fists clenched and cackled, then with a sudden low growl, he hammered on the railing.
On the other end of the line, Gates, coldly startled, rushed to shout, “President Lane are you all right?”
“Gates, you’ve got five days, and I want to know everything that Molly Bort has been through these past three years, abroad.” Baird Lane ordered with a grimace.
He would have still been feeling guilty about Leo Bort over the fact that he was about to put her in jail.
But now it seems unnecessary.
Since she dared to use him to deceive him, she should not blame him for being ruthless.
“Okay President Lane, I got it, anything else?” Gates asked again.
Baird Lane closed his eyes hard, adjusted his mind a little, and blandly said, “No more, go do it.”
“Yes.”
The phone hung up and Baird Lane spent most of another hour on the balcony blowing in the night air, waiting until the anger in his head had subsided a little before he turned into his room.
He stood beside the bed, his head slightly bowed, his gaze guilty as he looked at Christine White on the bed.
He had never felt so guilty about her as he did in this moment, not even after learning that she was childless and had her bone marrow forcibly removed.
He thought that if he hadn’t asked about Gates out of the blue tonight, he might never have felt so sorry for her, and it was only then that he reacted to how innocent she was.
She just happened to come into his world and marry him, but because of him, she became a casualty between him and Molly Bort, and it was all, well, his fault!
Baird Lane could no longer repress his inner turmoil and leaned over to hug Christine White tightly.
That’s how Christine White woke up from his pressure and opened her eyes, startled by him, “What’s wrong with you?”
