Christine White was slightly surprised, “How did you know?”
“It’s written all over your face.” Baird Lane looked at the road in front of him and trailed off.
Christine White rubbed the tip of her nose, “So.”
“I didn’t really talk to her much, just said what needed to be said and confirmed some things I guessed.”
“Guess what?”
“Good, I guessed before that she never loved me, and it turns out that I was indeed right, plus I confirmed whether or not that incident was her idea or not, and she admitted it.” Baird Lane said, looking apologetically at Christine White.
Christine White lowered her eyes, “What happens after you admit it? Are you going to put her in jail too?”
“If she goes to jail, she’s bound to do something like kill herself, her life was bought with your bone marrow and our children’s lives, and I wish her well to live with her sins on her back, but I’ll make it all double on Leo Bort for what she’s done.” Baird Lane murmured back.
Christine White’s mouth opened to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
To be honest, she was a little less than pleased with his handling of this.
Without knowing that Molly Bort was also involved in this matter, she naturally only wanted Leo Bort to go to jail.
But now, she wanted both the father and daughter to go to jail, but she also had to admit that he was right, and that if Molly Bort did kill herself in jail or something, then her child had died for nothing!
“What are you going to do with Molly Bort after this?” Christine White asked, tilting her head and looking up the cold side of the man’s face.
The man’s thin lips pursed lightly, “Afterward, you’ll be a stranger.”
“Really,” Christine White nodded, not speaking.
Not far away, Molly Bort stood in the doorway of the lounge, looking at the backs of the two in front of her as they left with each other, and her heart was suddenly filled with jealousy and hatred.
She clenched her fists in death, her nails embedded in her hands, itching to separate those two figures.
But her reason told her she couldn’t now, she knew what she had done had been exposed and Baird Lane must not have any feelings for her anymore, but so what, if she couldn’t have the man she couldn’t have, she wouldn’t allow anyone else to have him either, just wait, she wasn’t going to let it go at that!
Christine White had no idea that she was being watched by Molly Bort again, she was currently looking anxiously at the items on the auction table, and was on the verge of sitting on the edge of her seat with nervousness.
Baird Lane could even feel her shaking and couldn’t help but squeeze her palm, “What are you nervous about?”
“Of course it’s the next auction item… you just said you were going to put that necklace up for auction in my name, so …”
“So you’re nervous” Baird Lane ruffled his eyelids lightly.
Christine White nodded, “All those people who took pictures of things before were watched, I’m worried I’ll be like that in a few moments, I’m actually scared of the feeling of being watched.”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Baird Lane looked at the auction table in front of him, “With me here, what are you afraid of, just pretend these people don’t exist.”
Christine White staggered, “Is that okay? Wouldn’t that be rude?”
“No, you try, take a deep breath first!” Baird Lane encouraged her.
Christine White did as she was told, and after taking several deep breaths, her heart did calm down a lot, and she was less nervous.
“Well?” Baird Lane asked her.
Christine White raised a smile at him, “Much better.”
“That’s fine.” Baird Lane hmmm’d and stopped talking.
At that point, the auction item on the stage changed again, and it was the very necklace that Baird Lane was going to auction in Christine White’s name.
The necklace was provided by Mrs. Chen, a string of top quality luxury emerald necklace, the starting price is five million dollars, each increase shall not be less than one million dollars.
Baird Lane handed Christine White the raised card in her hand and told her to raise her own bid and make sure she got the necklace.
Christine White naturally had no worries when she heard him say that, and anyway, as long as others shouted the price, she followed the increase.
But when she added it to the end and heard the auctioneer shouting that the necklace had become fifty million dollars, her heart and liver trembled a few times.
“More to add?” Christine White looked carefully at Baird Lane.
It’s fifty million dollars. If it goes up any further, she won’t dare to raise her hand.
Even though she said she wasn’t the one paying for it, she felt the meat of it.
“Plus!” Baird Lane gave her the word blandly.
“But it’s all five thousand.” Christine White’s small face expression was extremely reluctant.
Baird Lane laughed softly, “Is fifty million dollars a lot? Go ahead and raise it, it doesn’t matter if you raise it to a hundred million!”
“You … are so rich!” Christine White stifled a comment, then left him alone and continued to raise the price.
Anyway, he said it didn’t matter if it was a hundred million dollars, so what was her concern.
In the end, Christine White managed to auction off the necklace for a total of sixty-five million dollars.
When she heard the applause of the whole audience in awe, her little face was almost red and dripping blood, and she was even more embarrassed in her heart.
After all, the person who should be enjoying the applause and the honor at this moment shouldn’t be her at all, but Baird Lane.
But she enjoyed it, and couldn’t tell the truth, making her feel like she’d stolen something from someone else.
She remained sullen until the end of the auction, when she took the necklace from the staff and walked out with Baird Lane.
“What’s wrong?” Baird Lane looked sideways at the woman beside him.
The woman handed the necklace into his hand, “Here you go.”
Baird Lane raised an eyebrow, “Give me what for?”
“Didn’t you buy this?” Christine White looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Baird Lane gave a low chuckle, “It was originally bought for you.”
“What?” Christine White was stunned, “For me?”
“Yes!”
“Then I can’t have it.” Christine White waved her hand and shook her head back and forth.
Baird Lane frowned, “Why not?”
“It’s so expensive, over sixty million dollars.” Christine White exclaimed.
Baird Lane rubbed his brow, “Is sixty million dollars a lot? Here, just take it, you’re the only woman in The Lane Family, you don’t want to keep this for dust?”
“But …”
“No buts, let’s go.” Baird Lane forcefully let the box slip from his hands into hers, pulled open the door and got into the car.
Christine White stood outside the car, looking at the box in her hands with complicated eyes, feeling only a thousand pounds.
He just gave it to her and wasn’t afraid she’d take it and sell it?
Smiling helplessly, Christine White had no choice but to put the box in her bag and follow it to the car, intending to wait until she got back to deal with the necklace.
She definitely won’t wear it, 65 million dollars, she thinks her neck will be bent if she puts it on, and she will be easily robbed.
Back at the apartment, Baird Lane took off his jacket and went to the balcony with his cell phone.
Christine White looked at him and put her things away before grabbing her pajamas and heading to the bathroom for a shower.
I don’t know who he was talking to on the phone, and when she came out of the shower, he was still answering it, and looking at his expression, it was very serious and heavy, so I guessed that something else had happened.
The last time he was like this, something happened at the headquarters of The Lane Family Group.
This time, is it the same again?
“Hey …” After thinking for a while, Christine White was not sure if something had happened to The Lane Family or not, so she did not continue to think about it, and after sighing, she went to the kitchen to make two bowls of sober soup.
She drank one bowl for herself and left the other on the coffee table, intending to give it to Baird Lane when he finished his call.
As a result, she waited for a few more minutes, and when she saw that he still had no intention of ending the call, she simply stopped waiting because her head was starting to spin.
She got up, stumbled back to her room, and fell back to sleep.
The next day at noon, she was woken up by Aunt Lucy.
Aunt Lucy shouted with an excited look on her face, “Good news, ma’am!”
“What’s the good news?” Christine White asked, yawning and confused.
