“The buyers were appeased, but after this, The Lane Family’s reputation is definitely going to be tarnished, and several media outlets had already rushed there and were broadcasting live before I got there.” Baird Lane sipped his tea and spoke back in a hushed voice.
Christine White’s eyes widened roundly, “That means the villa collapse has been reported by the media?”
Baird Lane gave a noncommittal hmmm.
Christine White frowned, “How did it happen so fast, how did those media outlets get the news?”
“Someone informed.” Baird Lane’s eyes went cold.
“Who?” Christine White looked at him.
Baird Lane showed a cold face, “Gates found out that the manager in charge of the construction of the villa area is related to the mole who stole the group’s secrets, these two people also fled at the first time after both were in trouble and couldn’t be found, who else could it be but The Lane Family’s enemies?”
“Hiss …” Christine White huffed backward, “So that manager also intentionally embezzled money for materials and then bought a batch of foam building materials with the intent to cause a collapse and discredit The Lane Family?”
“Not bad, so the money that rolls away and the purpose is served, a plan to kill two birds with one stone.” Baird Lane heaved his teacup toward the coffee table.
Christine White looked at the few drops of spilled tea and sighed darkly, “Baird, it seems that old man, is trying to disintegrate The Lane Family step by step.”
Baird Lane pursed his thin lips, “I won’t let him accomplish his purpose.”
“The Lane Family lost a lot this time, didn’t they?” Christine White looked at him.
Baird Lane narrowed his eyes and didn’t answer, a grim face.
As she said, The Lane Family did lose a lot of money this time, the money for the materials that were swept away is more than a billion dollars, and those villas that collapsed, had to be rebuilt, but in that case, they would not be able to catch up with the scheduled opening date, and would have to compensate those buyers, which, in turn, would amount to billions of dollars.
So when you add up the top and bottom, you’ve lost billions of dollars, and now the group’s shareholders are up in arms.
“Baird, are you alright?” After waiting for Baird Lane’s answer for a long time, Christine White already understood that The Lane Family had really lost a lot this time, otherwise he wouldn’t have shown such an expression.
“I’m fine.” Baird Lane took a breath and returned wearily.
Christine White is still a little worried, “After losing so much, Grandpa …”
“I didn’t tell him at Grandpa’s, and I asked Fubar to keep it from him as well.” Baird Lane rubbed his brow.
Christine White lowered her eyes, “But that won’t stay hidden for long, will it.”
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “Hide it for as long as you can, if grandpa knows at this time, he might get irritated, I will settle this matter as soon as possible to add back the lost funds, so I won’t accompany you to the fashion show tomorrow.”
“It’s okay, I can go by myself, you seriously go about your business, don’t worry about me.” Christine White waved her hand and spoke with a smile.
At the juncture of such a big event in The Lane Family Group, she was already happy that he could still remember that he was going to accompany her to the fashion show tomorrow.
And she wasn’t someone who didn’t know the difference; if something happened to the group, she naturally knew which side he should go to.
“Well, make it up to you later.” Baird Lane reached up and pinched Christine White’s nose.
Christine White slapped his hand away, “It hurts.”
Baird Lane gave a low chuckle, “Finished reading?”
He was asking if she’d finished the book in her lap.
While he was in the shower, she had a costume design book handy and was reading it.
“Not yet.” Christine White held the book up, indicating that she still had a good chunk of it unread.
However Baird Lane snatched the book as soon as it was closed and dropped it right on the coffee table, “Stop reading and rest.”
He took her hand and stood up.
Christine White couldn’t argue with him, so she had to follow him up the stairs.
The next day, Baird Lane was really early.
Christine White ate breakfast, then turned on the TV in the living room, ready to watch some random program, I did not expect that the TV just turned on, jumped out is Baird Lane’s three hundred and sixty degrees without dead angle handsome face.
“If it isn’t Mr.?” Aunt Lucy, who was mopping the floor, also saw Baird Lane and uttered a surprised voice.
Christine White didn’t answer, her eyes fixed for an instant on the TV screen.
“This looks like the launch.” Aunt Lucy added.
Christine White nodded, “That’s right, it should be the launch of yesterday’s villa incident, there was a collapse incident, and it was also reported by the media, causing a bad impact on The Lane Family, as the president of The Lane Family Group, he always has to come out to explain. ”
“What an abomination!” Aunt Lucy dropped her mop with an exasperated look, “What on earth does that old man have against us, The Lane Family, that he has to resort to these tactics to diabolize people.”
Christine White smiled at that, “Who knows what kind of vendetta, only until we figure out who he is and catch him.”
“How long will it take, the old man is hiding like a rat, he can’t be found, not even by Leo Bort and the two traitors who betrayed The Lane Family, so you can see how well he’s hiding.” Aunt Lucy bristled.
Christine White pondered for a few seconds and stroked her chin, “Actually, there might be a way to find Leo Bort… I guess as long as we find Leo Bort, we won’t be afraid of not being able to find that old man.”
“What way?” Aunt Lucy was very curious.
Christine White squeezed the remote control in her hand, “It’s to capture Molly Bort and use Molly Bort to force Leo Bort out, Molly Bort is his daughter, I don’t think Leo Bort would not care.”
“That’s a good idea.” Aunt Lucy’s eyes lit up and she urged, “Ma’am, what are you waiting for, tell Mister.”
“Baird won’t do it, I’m afraid.” Christine White shook her head, her eyes a little obscure, “There’s another reason he cares so much about Molly Bort that he shouldn’t listen to me, and I’m sure he’s thought of this solution for a long time, he just hasn’t implemented it because of that reason.”
Aunt Lucy was a little upset when she heard this, “Sir is really not thinking things through sometimes, is it The Lane Family or that Molly Bort that is important.”
Christine White lowered her eyes, “Aunt Lucy, don’t say that, Baird he has a point, it’s just that I’m curious as to what the other reason is that he cares about Molly Bort, Aunt Lucy do you know?”
Last time she asked Baird Lane, Baird Lane wouldn’t say anything.
So it has been very uncomfortable for her.
He was always like that, hiding everything from her.
“Another reason to care about Molly Bort?” Aunt Lucy scratched her head in confusion, “What are you talking about, ma’am?”
Christine White’s eyes flashed and she barely tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Nothing.”
Looks like Baird Lane is hiding so deep, even Aunt Lucy doesn’t know about it.
“So.” Aunt Lucy nodded, seeing that she wouldn’t go into details.
Christine White turns off the TV, puts down the remote control in her hand, and bends down to pick up the mop from the floor again to give to Aunt Lucy.
“Well Aunt Lucy, it’s almost time, I’m going out.” She pointed to the large pendulum clock in the corner.
Aunt Lucy knew she was going to the fashion show and didn’t stop her, sending her out of the villa.
In the car, Christine White clutched the fashion show tickets in her hands, her heart full of excitement, so excited that her little face was red.
She never thought she would get to go to a live show so soon.
Well, it’s all thanks to Baird Lane.
Christine White thought gratefully, whirling around and carefully placing the tickets back in her bag before taking out her cell phone and dialing a call out with her fingers flying.
The phone rang a few times before being answered.
Christine White didn’t wait for the person on the other end of the line to say anything before asking in a rush, “Hey, out and about?”
