Aunt Lucy danced with excitement, “Of course it’s that Leo Bort thing, he … He …”
“What’s wrong with him, you tell me.” Christine White cried and laughed.
Aunt Lucy took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down first before saying under her breath, “He’s in jail!”
“What?” Christine White sat up violently from the bed, her head, which was still a bit groggy, was completely awake at the moment, and the only thing in her mind was Aunt Lucy’s words just now, “He’s in jail, you said?”
Aunt Lucy nodded her head back and forth, “Yeah, they were taken early this morning, the results came out in the morning, and now the whole town knows about it, it’s on the news.”
“How did it go so fast?” Christine White staggered, “Doesn’t any of this require going streamLand?”
“Of course need.” Aunt Lucy laughed, “But with Mister intervening, the flowLand or whatever, it’s not that important, anyway, even if the result of going through the flowLand is still imprisonment, it would be better to skip the flowLand and directly let him go to jail.”
“Aunt Lucy you’re right.” Christine White cried tears of joy and couldn’t agree more with that statement.
As Aunt Lucy would say, instead of going to some stream Land, straight to jail would be best for someone like Leo Bort.
What’s more, it takes a certain amount of time before a judgment is handed down, so what if something unexpected happens in the meantime?
The Bort Family may not be as good as The Lane Family, but a thin camel is always bigger than a horse, and if Leo Bort had found some contacts to save him during his time away from the Lane, it would have been better to just let him go to jail, so as not to cause any more trouble, and Baird Lane finally did something efficient this time around.
Christine White’s body trembled slightly with excitement at the thought, “Aunt Lucy, where’s Baird Lane?”
She asked.
Aunt Lucy looked at the time and replied, “Sir should still be over at the police station at this time and not back.”
“So.” Christine White nodded that she knew.
Aunt Lucy, however, suddenly asked tentatively, “Ma’am, now that Mister has done you justice, you should forgive him, right?”
At those words, the joy on Christine White’s face slowly solidified without a word.
Aunt Lucy sighed when she saw this, “It’s me who was in a hurry, ma’am, don’t take my words just now to heart.”
“No it won’t, give me your phone for a second Aunt Lucy, I’ll check the specific news.” Christine White held out her hand.
Aunt Lucy held out her bedside cell phone to her.
She picked it up, opened the website, and with little searching, the home page was high on news about Leo Bort’s jail time.
She clicked right in and looked it over carefully.
The above is the same as what Aunt Lucy said, Leo Bort was arrested in the morning and sentenced already at noon, to five years in prison for kidnapping the wife of a certain magnate.
The penalty, for a well-known businessman like Leo Bort, is still serious – after all, the taint of jail time for the chairman of a publicly traded company means it will be abandoned by consumers.
Consumers are the most rational and realistic group of people, they will be based on Leo Bort jailed this point, to doubt The Bort Family’s products are not also problematic, and even boycott The Bort Family’s products, and over time, the market value of The Bort Family’s company will fall to the bottom of the barrel, and even bankruptcy may occur.
So Christine White was pretty happy with the result, the only thing she wasn’t happy with was that nothing happened to Molly Bort.
Obviously Molly Bort is the real murderer, but because of Molly Bort’s body, as well as the fear of Molly Bort in doing such things as suicide, actually let Molly Bort escape, really makes people heart unhappy!
“Ma’am, what’s on your mind?” Aunt Lucy couldn’t help but be concerned when she saw Christine White’s indignant face.
Christine White shook her head, “It’s okay, I was just thinking about Molly Bort.”
“Think about her for what.” Aunt Lucy bristled.
Christine White smiled and said nothing more as she continued to skim the rest of the news.
After reading it, she pressed the phone tightly to her heart and murmured tearfully, “Baby, your revenge mommy finally avenged you some …”
As for the rest, she wouldn’t miss it if she had the chance!
Aunt Lucy was standing right next to the bed, naturally she heard Christine White’s low murmur just now clearly, her eyes also followed the sour, and her heart was also a little bad, “Mrs. …”
“I’m fine Aunt Lucy, is there anything to eat? I suddenly feel so hungry, I must have an extra bowl of food later, after all, good news like today’s is a rare thing to hear, don’t you think so?” Christine White raised her small face and gave Aunt Lucy a strong smile.
How could Aunt Lucy not see that her so-called toughness was just a forced pretense, and how hard it might be in her heart?
After all, that child was a permanent pain in her heart.
But since she didn’t want to explicitly talk about the sadness in her heart, Aunt Lucy thought it would be better for her to pretend she didn’t know anything about it either.
“Yes, I’ve made a lot of food, ma’am must eat more in a while, just as a celebration!” Aunt Lucy said as she wiped the wetness from her eyes.
Christine White hmmm’d, “Good advice, thanks Aunt Lucy.”
“You’re welcome, then ma’am, you get up and wash up first, I’ll go and get ready, dinner will be ready in a while.” Aunt Lucy said and left the room.
Christine White looked up at the ceiling and adjusted her mindset a little before lifting the covers and getting out of bed, and just as she was putting on her shoes and getting ready to leave the room, the cell phone in her hand suddenly rang.
She stopped and lifted her cell phone to look at it, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.
Why is he calling?
Without much thought, Christine White put her cell phone directly to her ear and answered it, “Ives.”
“Christine, congratulations, Leo Bort is in jail.” Ives Norton’s familiar voice came through the phone.
Christine White smiled, “Thanks.”
“What are you going to do after that? Drop the hate for the original Baird?” Ives Norton asked suddenly, his tone much more positive.
Christine White was silent for a moment, “I don’t know, I did think before that I would forgive Leo Bort as long as he went to jail, but …”
“But?” Ives Norton narrowed his eyes, “Is there a change in something?”
Christine White hmmmed, “Molly Bort came back, just yesterday.”
“What?” Ives Norton exclaimed, “She’s really back?”
“Yes.”
“No wonder …” Ives Norton trailed off.
Christine White tugged at the corner of her lips, “Seriously, Molly Bort’s appearance yesterday made me panic a bit, and I also felt that Baird Lane still has Molly Bort’s presence in his heart, though not as deep as before, but it’s still there after all … ”
“So you’re worried about Baird he still cares about Molly Bort?” asked Ives Norton.
Christine White bit her lip, “Something like that.”
“There’s really no need for you to worry, maybe things won’t happen the way you think they will yet.” Ives Norton reassured.
Christine White’s mouth curled into an unconfident smile, “Maybe.”
“Well, don’t think too much about it, and if Baird does anything really confusing, just let me know and I’ll clean him up for you.” Ives Norton said.
Christine White was amused, “Seriously?”
“Really!” On the other end of the line, where she couldn’t see, Ives Norton’s eyes softened, “Whatever happens, I’m on your side.”
“Eh?” Christine White was startled for a split second by his comment.
What do you mean, you’re on her side no matter what?
Why is he defending her so much?
For a moment, Christine White vaguely sensed something, but couldn’t quite put her finger on that point, except that Ives Norton’s words were a bit odd, so odd that they made her uncomfortable, and after a snort, she hurriedly sidestepped the topic, “Did you call to tell me congratulations?”
