“Finished with the show, ma’am?” Aunt Lucy saw Christine White walk into the living room and asked with a busy smile.
Christine White nodded slightly, “Well, after reading that, Baird’s back, isn’t he?”
She asked rhetorically.
Aunt Lucy pointed upstairs, “It’s in the study.”
“I’ll go get him then.” Christine White stomped up the stairs.
She was going to tell him as soon as possible about the information she had asked for at Molly Bort’s.
Also there’s Molly Bort’s cell phone, she just looked at it and it has a combination lock, she can’t open it, and when she gives it to him, he can still have it unlocked.
Maybe there are some usable clues in that cell phone.
Dang!
Christine White knocked on the door to Baird Lane’s study, “Baird.”
“Come in.” Baird Lane’s cool voice came from inside.
Christine White unscrewed the lock and entered, “Are you busy?”
Baird Lane was tapping away at his keyboard when he heard her question and looked up at her slightly before quickly burying his head back down, “Gathering information on some plots.”
“Land?” Christine White blinked, “You’re buying land again?”
Baird Lane hmmm’d, “With this incident in the villa area, there are already a lot of people who don’t trust the quality of the villas, and in order to salvage their credibility it will be necessary to overturn and rebuild all of them, so I’m in the process of picking out a new site.”
“So.” Christine White stroked her chin in a daze, probably understanding what he meant.
Although she hadn’t studied architecture, she understood that high-end villas were built differently from ordinary properties, with specially designed foundations, so once she had to overturn all the villas and rebuild them again, she would definitely have to overturn all the foundations together as well.
In this case, it will take a short time to clear the debris, and if we wait until the debris is cleared and then rebuild, we will definitely not be able to catch up with the opening date of the next quarter, so it would be better to buy a piece of land to repair the villa.
At that thought, Christine White walked over to Baird Lane and looked curiously at his computer, “Do you have your eye on any of the lots?”
“That’s not a bad piece.” Baird Lane clicked his mouse twice and details of a parcel popped up on the screen.
Christine White poked her neck forward and narrowed her eyes as she skimmed the area before being somewhat surprised, “North Shore? Isn’t that a suburb over there?”
“Well, but it’s got a nice view, and a little development would make it a good place to fix up a cottage.” Baird Lane returned faintly.
Christine White shrugged her shoulders, “Well, I don’t know much about all that, so work it out for yourself, I came to see you because I have something to tell you. ”
“Yes?” Baird Lane let go of the mouse and turned his gaze to her.
“It’s like this, didn’t I go to the fashion show today and then I met Molly Bort there and got some words out of her.” Christine White said with a half-truth and dodgy eyes.
How could Baird Lane not notice that she was being vain, her brow peaked, “What’s the catch?”
“Uh … Just asked her who The Bort Family is allied with.” Christine White twisted her fingers around the corner of her coat.
Baird Lane leaned back in his chair, “She answered?”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded.
Baird Lane narrowed his eyes, “Did you do something to her or she would have answered you?”
Christine White’s smile was forced, “Well I admit it, I did do a little disciplining on her.”
She squeezed a little bit of movement out of her fingers.
Baird Lane looked askance, “What did she answer?”
“Eh?” Christine White froze, “You’re not going to ask what kind of discipline I did to her?”
Baird Lane dropped his eyes and said in a faint voice, “Not interested.”
“Yeah?” Christine White looked at him a little skeptically.
Baird Lane pursed his lips in displeasure, “Christine White, is it true that you don’t believe anything I say?”
“No no.” Christine White waved her hands in a huff, “I just think it’s a little … when you say you’re not interested when it comes to Molly Bort.”
“Okay.” Baird Lane interrupted her with a raised hand, “I don’t want to hear that, just get to your point.”
“Oh, I know.” Christine White answered with her tongue out.
Since he said he didn’t want to know what she did to Molly Bort, she’s just not going to say anything.
So Christine White really did not tell what she did to Molly Bort, but only told Baird Lane what Molly Bort had explained at the time.
After saying that, she took out Molly Bort’s cell phone from her pocket and handed it over, “I grabbed this from Molly Bort, I think she is Leo Bort’s daughter anyways, there should be some kind of clues in the cell phone, have someone unlock it and take a look.”
Baird Lane’s eyes sank as he looked at the pink phone in his hand, “Christine White.”
He suddenly called out to her.
Christine White blinked at him, “What’s wrong?”
Baird Lane’s face darkened, “And you ask me what’s wrong? What did I tell you before, I told you to stay out of these things, but you’re good, not only do you have to care, but you actually grabbed the cell phone.”
“Grabbing a cell phone … Is there something wrong?” Christine White beamed with some aggression.
Baird Lane’s thin lips pursed, “From what you’re saying, you’re still doing it right?”
“I’m just trying to help.” Christine White returned the favor.
Baird Lane threw his cell phone on his desk with a thud, “I don’t need your help, I told you to just protect yourself, this is The Lane Family’s feud, don’t get involved too much, luckily you just grabbed Molly Bort’s cell phone this time, if you grabbed someone else’s, do you think you’d be able to get away with it? ”
She wanted to help him, and he could understand that.
But he didn’t want her to get hurt again.
Christine White could hear a hint of concern in Baird Lane’s words, in addition to anger, and couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sweetness in her heart.
“I’m sorry, I’ll pay attention next time …” She tugged on his sleeve and hurriedly apologized to calm his anger.
Baird Lane looked at her coldly, straight to the point that she lowered her head before he removed his eyes with a cold snort, “The next time, I’ll just send you overseas and wait for all the troubles at home to be resolved before I recall you.”
“This …” Christine White stared incredulously, “It’s still possible, huh?”
“Nothing’s impossible if I want it to be, all right, you’re out.” Baird Lane gave his expulsion order.
Christine White looked at Molly Bort’s cell phone, her mouth opened to say something, but then she saw his cool side face and finally said nothing and closed her mouth and went out.
After she left, Baird Lane pinched his brow as he grabbed his own cell phone and dialed out, “Gates!”
“President Lane,” Gates’ voice rang out from the phone.
Baird Lane closed his eyes wearily, “Come to the villa, I have a cell phone here that I need you to take out and decode to see if there is any usable information in it.”
“I know, I’ll be right over.” Gates answered.
Baird Lane hmmm’d and cut the call off, then dropped his phone to continue browsing through the parcel information.
Time passed quickly into the evening.
Baird Lane finally got out of the den and came downstairs.
Christine White saw that he looked tired, and busily poured a cup of tea for him, “Are you done?”
Baird Lane took the cup of tea and sat down beside her, “What are you looking at?”
“Photos.” Christine White fiddled with the camera in her hand and returned without looking up.
Baird Lane was a little upset when he saw that her full attention was on the camera and she didn’t share a bit of it with him, and his voice sank much deeper as he spoke, “What pictures?”
“I took this at the show today, I haven’t finished organizing it yet, do you want to see it?” Christine White asked him as she shook the camera in her hand.
Baird Lane looked away disinterestedly.
Christine White saw this and put the camera down, “Okay, I’m being redundant, pretend I didn’t ask.”
She spread her hands in disinterest.
Baird Lane, however, swept her off her feet and snapped, “How’s the venue set up for your business alliance?”
