“What?” White’s father the White’s mother was stunned, half in shock.
Baird Lane leaned forward slightly, gazing at them like a towering monarch, “Do you know why I had you brought here?”
White’s father the White’s mother shook her head in horror.
Baird Lane looped his arms, “Because I want to know, whose daughter is Christine White anyway?”
He deliberately asked this question to test whether the couple was clear in their minds.
“Whose daughter …” Father White the White’s mother looked at each other before the White’s mother nervously spoke, “Son-in-law …”
“Shut up, I’m not your son-in-law!” Baird Lane chided with a grimace.
Before, he didn’t recognize himself as the couple’s son-in-law, and even less so in the future.
the White’s mother’s body shook at Baird Lane’s yell, and her face blanched as she shut her mouth.
Baird Lane didn’t bother to look at her and turned his attention to Father White, “You tell me whose daughter Christine White really is!”
Father White couldn’t help but shiver even as he met his icy pupils, but he was much more calm than THE White’s mother, at least he wouldn’t be too frightened to open his mouth, “I … We don’t know, that woman she didn’t tell us who she was.”
“A woman?” Baird Lane narrowed his eyes.
Father White nodded, “Yes.”
“What was the woman’s name?” Baird Lane asked in a hushed voice.
Father White thought for a moment, not thinking, and nudged THE WHITE’S MOTHER beside him.
the White’s mother rushed back, “Ella Smith, her name is Ella Smith!”
Ella Smith!
Baird Lane blushed slightly.
Sure enough, it’s Leo Bort’s ex-wife.
“So how did you meet Ella Smith, and how did Christine White become your daughter?” Baird Lane gripped the arms of his chair.
White father did not dare to hide, and quickly told the story of that year, “That year, my wife and I went to the hospital to check the body, on the way to meet a car accident, a sedan knocked down a pregnant woman, the pregnant woman was knocked down and covered with blood, we were scared, hiding on the side of the road did not dare to come out …”
“Why are you afraid to come out?” Baird Lane’s brow furrowed as he heard what was wrong in that statement.
the White’s mother picked up, “Because we saw the minivan, it was intentionally going to hit that pregnant woman, and after that pregnant woman was knocked down, there was someone else in the car who came down to check to see if that pregnant woman was still alive.”
“Yes, yes, yes, the man checked it out and made a phone call, but we didn’t hear much at that time when it was too far away, we heard the man say that the mission was complete and the people had been solved, and we were afraid that we would be killed by the man who found out about it all together, that’s why we didn’t dare to come out.” Father White said.
Even though it has been more than twenty years since this incident, whenever I recall it, I still have more than a little fear in my heart.
Baird Lane’s mind raises a huge, unsettling wave, “And after that?”
“After that the car left, we went over to check on the pregnant woman, we thought that the pregnant woman was really dead like the man said, but we didn’t realize that the pregnant woman was still alive and begged us to save the child in her womb, which we didn’t want to do.” Speaking of this, Father White’s voice was much fainter all of a sudden.
Baird Lane’s forehead veins jumped impatiently, and he spat out one word indifferently, “Speak!”
White father swallowed, only to continue to say, “that pregnant woman said as long as we save her child, she will give us two hundred thousand, where we have seen so much money ah, so immediately agreed to go down, sent her to the hospital, unfortunately …”
“Too bad she had a bad life.” THE WHITE’S MOTHER picked up the end of the sentence, “The third day after that child was born, she didn’t make it through and died, and after she died that child was left, and we didn’t know who she was so we kept the child because we never had any children as a couple at the time.”
“More than that reason, right.” Baird Lane folded his legs, his voice cool and indifferent, “I’m afraid it’s because you guys saw that Ella Smith could casually come up with two hundred thousand dollars, and then guessed that she’s not an ordinary person, so you thought of raising Christine White, and then claiming a hefty amount of alimony when she recognizes her ancestor, am I right?”
“This …” Father Whitethe White’s mother’s old face doubled over and stiffened.
Baird Lane took one look at them like that and knew he had indeed hit the nail on the head and couldn’t hide the disgust on his face, “Where’s Ella Smith’s body?”
“We sent him to be cremated, and the ashes have been kept in the funeral home for twenty-five years, and they should be expiring soon.” Father White replied.
Baird Lane stood up, “I won’t do anything to you as a couple for raising Christine White, but I can’t just let go of the debt for abusing her as a child, I can’t just let go of the debt for the sins that you have created, let your son take the blame, after all, your son hasn’t bullied her much either.”
“You … What are you trying to do to Mick?” THE WHITE’S MOTHER was in a hurry when she heard that her son was going to suffer.
Father White didn’t say anything, but his eyes were equally very worried.
Baird Lane coldly hooked the corner of his lips, “Don’t worry, I don’t do things that will kill people, but it’s still possible to waste a hand, this hand, consider it as your compensation to Christine White, from now on, she will have nothing to do with you, The White Family, she doesn’t owe you anything, and you don’t look for her anymore. ”
“No!” The White’s mother repeatedly slapped her thighs and cried out, “President Lane, you can’t do this! At least Mick and Christine White are siblings, you can’t do this.”
“I’m desperate?” Baird Lane pursed his lips expressionlessly, “But if you guys had ever been nice to her, I wouldn’t have to do this to you, alright, I’ll give you two choices, put Mick White in jail or maim one of his hands, your choice.”
“Old man …” the White’s mother handily grabbed Father White’s arm and signaled him to think about what to do.
Father White is a man in the end, much calmer than THE White’s mother, and at the moment is torn between what exactly to choose.
Baird Lane waited for about a minute, and did not wait for a result, began to be a little impatient, hand in his pants pocket coldly spoke, “There is one more thing I want to tell you guys, Mick White not only has a gambling conviction, but also has the experience of sucking up, once in jail, will be ten years to start, so …”
“No jail time!” Father White interrupted loudly, looking terrified, “No jail time for Mick.”
Ten years to start, what future does that out Mick have?
“Looks like you’re choosing to handicap Mick White with one arm, huh?” Baird Lane raised an eyebrow.
Father White closed his eyes and nodded his head sorrowfully, “Mutilating a hand is better than going to jail, and maybe he won’t gamble in the future.”
“Old man you …”
the White’s mother was about to speak when Father White took her by the hand and gave her a warning shake of the head.
The White’s mother had never seen such a serious White’s father, and was immediately stunned, na na na swallowed back the unfinished words.
Baird Lane saw this and lifted his chin in satisfaction at their knowledge, “In that case, you may leave, but remember, don’t contact Christine White again or watch out for Mick White’s other hand.”
“Yes yes yes.” Father White, with a white old face, hurriedly responded.
Baird Lane waves his hand and Gates, who has been acting as the invisible man, steps forward and takes both men out with one hand and one collar.
A few moments later Gates returned, “President Lane, I’ve had them sent back, and I’ve sent someone over from Mick White to take care of it.”
“Uh-huh.” Baird Lane nodded, indicating he knew.
Gates stood behind him and suddenly lamented, “This is not expected, the lady’s life will actually be like this, no wonder Leo Bort did not hold Ella Smith’s funeral back then, it turns out that the body is not in his hands at all.”
Baird Lane’s eyes twinkled for a moment, “What I want to know now is, was Leo Bort responsible for Ella Smith’s car accident, or did Loring do it, or did they conspire together?”
