You know, Nigel Lane was taken away from her as a child by The Lane Family’s enemies in order to be groomed to deal with The Lane Family, and now The Lane Family’s enemies have been found out by her to be the Dong family, and Hugh Dong isn’t a child of the Dong family, but was adopted by Owen Dong, and He was adopted by Owen Dong and groomed by Owen Dong to be a person with hatred towards The Lane Family and the birthmark on Hugh Dong’s neck. …
All of this is so coincidental, so consistent with the symbol of Nigel Lane, that she has the presence of mind to suspect that Hugh Dong is Nigel Lane.
As for whether it is or not in the end, it depends on these few hairs in her hands! Last time, she did not see the DNA’s identification over Land, and was not sure whether the hair Aunt Lucy got was Hugh Dong’s or not, but this time is different, this time, the hair, is the hair she personally pulled from Hugh Dong’s head, so she has to personally go to do the identification, or else she is not assured.
Christine White gripped her hair tightly in her hands, hoping beyond hope that her suspicions were true.
Because only then will Baird Lane let Hugh Dong go, and at the same time Baird Lane will get his brother back.
Isn’t that the best of both worlds?
“Now all that’s missing is Baird Lane’s hair!” Christine White murmured, removing the ring from her finger and carefully pocketing it before returning to her room, trying to look around for Baird Lane’s hair or something.
It turned out to be clean as a whistle and there was nothing there.
Undeterred, she went back to the restroom and the bathroom to look for it there, but eventually came up empty-handed as well.
She didn’t want to leave it at that, though, and after biting her lower lip, she grabbed her bag and headed out the door.
An hour or so later, Christine White arrived at The Lane Family Group.
Baird Lane was a little surprised to see her arrive, “How do you …”
“Give me a hair.” Christine White didn’t sell herself short, walking up to him and speaking directly.
Baird Lane frowned, “Hair?”
“Yes!” Christine White nodded.
Baird Lane put down the pen in his hand and leaned back in his chair, looking at her with dark eyes, “What do you want with my hair?”
“I’m going to make an identification.” Christine White replied.
Baird Lane’s eyes narrowed, “With who?”
“With whom you don’t ask first, but anyway, you give me your hair.” Christine White held out her hand.
Baird Lane pursed his thin lips in non-committal agreement, “Did you find anyone else who might be Nigel?”
Christine White wasn’t surprised that he guessed so quickly, setting her bag down and sitting across from him, “Yes, and I think it’s him.”
“Why?” Baird Lane crossed his arms on the table, “Give me a reason that convinces me what makes you think that must be Nigel, any basis for that?”
“Yes, didn’t you say that your brother was carried away by his enemies and groomed by them to be a pawn in their revenge against The Lane Family, he fits the bill, and I remember you saying that your brother had plastic surgery more than a decade ago and completely changed his appearance, he fits the bill too!” Christine White said.
On the way over, she figured out what Hugh Dong meant when he said that his face wasn’t real after looking at it for too long.
Because there’s a chance that that face could be contrived, and it’s just not real.
Christine White looked serious as she listened to Christine White.
“Are you sure?” He asked in a hushed voice.
Christine White nodded heavily, “sure, he really fits it all.”
“Good.” Baird Lane nodded, “I can give you the hair, or I can hold off on asking who that person is for now, but once the identification comes back, you have to tell me.”
Christine White didn’t even think about it, she just agreed, “Don’t worry, that’s what I thought.”
When the results came in, she’d tell him whatever they ended up being.
If Hugh Dong was really Nigel Lane, they could have pulled Hugh Dong into their side’s camp earlier, and as long as they had Hugh Dong on their side, dealing with the Dong family would be nothing short of simple.
Just thinking about it makes Christine White a little excited.
Baird Lane saw her sudden giggle, and though he felt in his heart that she was a bit unreliable, he pulled off a few strands of hair with his own follicles and handed them to her without changing his countenance, “Is that enough?”
Christine White picked up her hair and nodded her head back and forth, “Enough is enough, I’ll leave you to it then.”
With that, she grabbed the bag she had just picked up and got up to walk away.
When Baird Lane saw how dryly she walked away, with no intention of staying, his thin lips couldn’t help but purse, “Stop!”
Christine White stopped, “Anything else?”
“That’s something I should be asking you.” Baird Lane looked at her, “You came here just to ask for my hair and nothing more?”
Christine White wrapped his hair in a paper towel as she returned, “Yeah, what else could I do here? It’s not like I can help with the company.”
Baird Lane blacked out, “Can’t help with the company, and you didn’t know to ask?”
Christine White smiled, “Okay, so let me ask, the land thing, is that settled?”
Baird Lane lifted his chin, “The land thing, it’s just a loss, the billion or so, I made it up out of my own pocket.”
“Which means it’s settled for now?” Christine White was slightly surprised.
Baird Lane grunted, noncommittal.
Christine White breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that it’s resolved, but you should still be careful.”
“What do you mean?” Baird Lane heard something and his eyes narrowed, “Do you know something?”
Christine White nodded after a few seconds of silence, “Yes, I know some information, and I’ll tell you everything I know when I’m done with your appraisals.”
“Yes, but I want you to be quick, I’ll give you one day, and one day from now, I want the results and the information you know.” Baird Lane said to her as he held up a finger.
Christine White tugged at the corner of her mouth and answered, “Nothing else, right?”
Baird Lane lowered his eyes, “Have you medicated there?”
“Eh?” Christine White froze, then her little face turned red when she reacted to what he was referring to, “Up.”
Baird Lane’s expression relaxed a fraction, “That’s good, when are you moving back to the cottage?”
Christine White gripped the bag chain on her shoulder and replied in a low voice, “You know, I’m still mindful of that, and I’ve been waiting and waiting for an apology from you, but you’ve been slow to say anything, and I …”
“Sorry.” Baird Lane apologized abruptly.
Christine White was stunned, “You …”
Baird Lane stands up, “I know my apology is long overdue for you, but I still want you to know that it’s not because I don’t want to apologize because I’m being facetious, it’s because I want to wait until all the grudges of The Lane Family have been settled before I talk to you about what’s going on between us.”
“Is that so?” Christine White looked slightly touched, “Then why didn’t you tell me before?”
If he had made it clear from the beginning, she wouldn’t have messed with him, much less run away from home.
She doesn’t regret it though, if she hadn’t run away from home, how would she have known that the Dongs were the hidden enemies of The Lane Family.
“I was not feeling the need to tell you before, I thought you would understand me.” Baird Lane looked at Christine White.
Christine White laughed, exasperated, “Understand you? You think I will understand you, then do you understand me? I just want you to admit your mistake, I want an apology from you, you didn’t even understand before, and you want me to understand you, why are you so double standard.”
Baird Lane frowned at that, “I didn’t double standard.”
“Yes, yes, yes, you didn’t, no okay!” Christine White didn’t bother to argue with him over a win-lose situation, ruffled her hair around her ears and asked again, “Then why did you suddenly figure it out now and want to tell me all this?”
“It was those words of yours before that made me think.” Baird Lane answered her with a serious face.
Christine White smiled softly as she looked down, “It seems that what I said, wasn’t for nothing, okay then, I’ll wait for the day you talk to me, and see how you explain what happened with you and Molly Bort, but I’d like to know right now, what’s going on with Molly Bort?”
