“There’s nothing impossible, I’m telling the truth, my husband is Baird Lane, do you think he’ll spare you if you poisoned his grandfather?” Christine White looked at Debby York like she was looking at a dead man.
Debby York could no longer withstand the pressure, plopped down on the ground, “Christine ….. … Christine you save me, I beg you to save me, I know it’s wrong, I really know it’s wrong, I don’t want to go to jail, I really don’t want to go to jail, you help me okay, beg with President Lane …”
“How can I plead for you, I can’t help you.” Christine White interrupted her with an expressionless face, “If I help you, I become one of the murderers who poisoned my grandfather, what’s more, you committed the crime in the first place, and instead of thinking about what you should do to make amends, you think about getting out of the crime, are you still the same Debby York as you used to be?”
“I’m not trying to get off, I really can’t go to jail …” Debby York is crying a lot.
Christine White took a deep breath, “I know the biggest reason you don’t want to go to jail is because of your aunt and uncle, but what would your aunt and uncle think if they knew what you did?”
“No!” Debby York stood up from the floor as if she had been spurred on by something, “You can’t tell my parents, I can’t let them know that I’ve done something like this, they’ll disown me as their daughter if they find out.”
“But you can’t have it both ways if you want to, you can’t escape the law, and you can’t escape The Lane Family’s retribution, you’ll turn yourself in with me and maybe the punishment will be a little lighter, if you’re going to get my husband to do something about it then it’s going to be more than just jail time.” Christine White said kindly.
Debby York was still too deadheaded to listen to her, “No she won’t, she said she would help me, if you don’t save me, she will.”
“Molly Bort?” asked Christine White, narrowing her eyes.
Debby York stopped her tears, “That’s right, I did what I did for her, she and I are one and the same, she would never abandon me, never!”
Christine White looked at Debby York who trusted Molly Bort like this and felt nothing but sadness in her heart, “So you’d rather trust Molly Bort than me?”
“I’m sorry Christine, there is no way I can trust you, you want me to go to jail and I don’t want to go to jail so I have no choice but to trust someone else.” Debby York said stubbornly.
Christine White let out a long sigh, “So, I see, then you can expect her to come to your rescue, I came to you this time, apart from wanting a truth, I wanted to persuade you to turn back to the world, but now it seems that why should I bother to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, so be good to yourself.”
With those words, she stopped looking at Debby York and turned to walk out of the suite.
After going out, Christine White was no longer as strong as she was a moment ago, her eyes reddened and tears flowed out abruptly.
Bess Camp handed her a clean white tissue, “What’s wrong?”
Christine White took the tissue and casually wiped her tears, squeezing out a smile that was worse than crying, “It’s okay, it’s just that I won’t have any more confidantes in the future, so I didn’t hold back and cried, I’m sorry for making you look at me funny.”
“No.” Bess Camp shook her head, “Anything else next?”
“No more.” Christine White returned.
Bess Camp nodded, “Let’s go then.”
“Wait a minute.” Christine White called out to him.
Bess Camp stops in her tracks, “Huh?”
“I’ll make a call.” Christine White pulled out her cell phone and waved it around.
Bess Camp made a gesture to go ahead.
Christine White smiled gratefully before flipping out Hugh Dong’s number and dialing it.
“What’s the matter?” Soon, Hugh Dong’s yawning voice, which sounded like he hadn’t woken up, came through.
Christine White glanced at Debby York’s suite door number before returning, “Hugh Dong, can I ask you a favor?”
“Oh?” On the other end of the phone, Hugh Dong came to be interested and raised his eyebrows, “Rare, you would actually take the initiative to ask me to help you, tell me, what kind of favor?”
“I’m at the oneworld hotel that you own, and I’d like you to send two people to guard a suite for me, so that no one in the suite gets away, or is taken away.” Christine White said with a cold little face.
Since Debby York was so desperate for Molly Bort’s rescue, she cut Debby York off from that thought.
And once Debby York was rescued, then Debby York would be wanted by Baird Lane for the rest of her life, and once wanted, she couldn’t imagine how Baird Lane would torture Debby York.
So in order for Debby York to not end up in a more miserable situation, she would rather Debby York go to jail, at least jail is better than torture.
“Guard the suite?” Hugh Dong was a bit dumbfounded, “Who’s in the suite?”
“That’s all you need to do, do me this favor.” Christine White begged.
Hugh Dong tsked, “It’s not impossible to help you, but why would I do you such a favor for nothing?”
Christine White was silent for a moment, “So what do you want?”
“Sensible, so quick to react, but as for what I want, I haven’t thought about it yet, let’s wait until I do.” Hugh Dong laughed lowly.
Christine White frowned, “What if you make excessive demands?”
“Don’t worry, I, Hugh Dong, am not the type to take advantage of a fire.” Hugh Dong yawned again.
Christine White heard this and pondered for two seconds, her mind already made up, “Okay, as long as you don’t make excessive demands, as long as I can do it, I’ll agree.”
“Cool!” Hugh Dong clapped his hands, “I’ll have the hotel side send someone to your place.”
“Okay, I’m here on the thirty-second floor, suite 3205.” Christine White gave out the door number.
Hugh Dong hmmm’d and hung up.
Bess Camp asks, “Is that the one from Dong’s?”
Christine White nodded, “It’s him.”
“He was lucky.” Bess Camp said.
Christine White put away her cell phone, “Lucky.”
“Not bad, he is not the son of Owen Dong, the chairman of Dong’s Group, he was adopted by Owen Dong, yet he became the heir of Dong’s Group, don’t you think he is not lucky?” Bess Camp laughed lightly.
Christine White froze, “He … He was adopted by Owen Dong?”
“You don’t know?” Bess Camp was surprised.
Christine White shook her head, “I don’t know, not to mention me, my husband also doesn’t know it, well … I should say, the entire upper class circle in C City doesn’t seem to know.”
“Then it looks like Dong Dong didn’t announce it to the public, I guess.” Bess Camp explained.
Christine White looked at him, “But that’s how you know?”
“The Camp Family is a little bit related to the Dong family, over twenty years ago Owen Dong had an accident and has not been able to conceive since then, but suddenly one day came back with a child, and that child was Hugh Dong,” Bess Camp replied.
Christine White nodded in a daze, “So it is.”
As he spoke, the man Hugh Dong had arranged came up.
Christine White handed over to them and then left the hotel with Bess Camp.
Bess Camp dropped her off at the nearest subway station and drove off.
Christine White watched his car walk away before she lifted her foot onto the escalator at the subway station, ready to take the bus back to the villa.
Back at the villa, it was two hours later.
Baird Lane stood outside the gates of the villa, too apprehensive to enter.
It was Aunt Lucy who finally came out and found her and pulled her in.
Baird Lane sat on the couch in the living room and saw Christine White enter with her head down, her thin lips pursed slightly, “Asked?”
His voice was still as cool as ever.
Aunt Lucy couldn’t help but glare at him, “Sir, have you forgotten what His Lordship told you?”
Baird Lane ignored Aunt Lucy’s reminder, his cold gaze resting solely on Christine White.
Christine White looked up at him and darted her head back down, “Ask around, Debby York did it, but she was also taking orders from someone.”
“Who?” Baird Lane’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
