Christine White hooked her lips slightly, “Doesn’t he want us to save Molly Bort before he’ll tell me the truth about my mom’s car accident, so let’s have someone beat him up and see if he can hold out on telling us or not.”
“You …” Baird Lane was surprised she would do that, “Are you sure you want to get a beating?”
Christine White bit her lower lip, “Or what? We can’t really be led around by Leo Bort, that’s too stifling, and I don’t want you to suffer because of me.”
Baird Lane gave two low chuckles, “You, even when you grow up, you’re still soft-hearted.”
Christine White lowered her head, “I only go soft on people I care about, I can’t go soft on the likes of Leo Bort, even if he is my own father.”
What’s more, why should she care about this so-called bloodline when such a father hated her to death.
“Good.” Baird Lane rubbed a handful of her hair, then looked to the two bodyguards guarding the doorway, “You heard what the lady said?”
“Yes President Lane.”
“Go do as you’re told.” Baird Lane waved.
The two bodyguards responded and then moseyed into the room behind Christine White.
Soon Christine White heard cries of pain coming from the room and the interrogation of two bodyguards.
She would have thought that a guy like Leo Bort, who couldn’t take a beating at all, would have quickly recoiled and blabbed everything.
However this time she had underestimated him.
This middle-aged man, much more ruthless than she had imagined, under this Land degree of beating, actually out of the cries of pain in addition to a word not to confess.
Christine White reached up and glanced into the room and saw that Leo Bort was already badly beaten, his whole body out of breath, and hastily called for a halt.
“Why, why did you stop?” Baird Lane asked her deliberately.
Christine White sucked in her breath, “It’s not good to get killed, we’re going to have to carry people on our backs.”
Baird Lane laughed softly, “But he didn’t account for it.”
Christine White clenched her fists, “For Molly Bort, he does have a very hard mouth, it was my miscalculation, I had thought that he would have been unable to resist the move, I didn’t realize that he would be so hard on himself, but come to think of it, if he wasn’t hard on himself, how would he have known that I was her daughter and not had the slightest bit of remorse about what he had done to me. ”
“Hmm?” Baird Lane let out a puzzled cry.
Christine White rubbed her distended temples, “Here’s the thing, Leo Bort already knew I was her daughter a long time ago, Owen Dong told him.”
“Yeah.” Baird Lane lifted his chin in understanding, then asked, “What are you going to do after this if he doesn’t confess in his current situation?”
“Honestly, I can’t.” Christine White smiled bitterly.
She wanted Leo Bort to suffer and confess honestly, but Leo Bort got through it and made her admire him.
“Actually, there is another way, much the same way you had him assaulted.” Baird Lane said suddenly.
Christine White looked over at him, “You mean, on torture?”
Baird Lane nodded.
Christine White shook her head in a huff, “That won’t work, then we’ll be breaking the law.”
“So leave it to me next, and you wait here.” With that said, Baird Lane nodded her forehead and lifted his foot into the room.
About ten minutes later, he came out.
Christine White took his arm, “Well?”
“I promised to help him save Molly Bort,” Baird Lane returned, looking into her small face.
Christine White’s small face froze for a split second, a little upset, “Why?”
She really didn’t actually want to save Molly Bort.
She hates The Bort Family so much that she can’t wait for Molly Bort to never come back.
“Baird Lane’s mouth is very hard, he also knows that when he falls into our hands, he can’t escape two endings left and right, one is death and the other is imprisonment, so he has already gone out of his way just to make Molly Bort come back, then he definitely won’t confess until Molly Bort comes back.” Baird Lane analysis.
Christine White listened, biting her lip a little resentfully, “He really does love Molly Bort.”
Baird Lane took her hand that was gripping his arm, “You have me.”
Christine White blushed a little and a hint of sweetness raised in her heart, but in the next second, it was taken over by guilt, “I’m sorry Baird, I still let you be threatened successfully by Leo Bort.”
“It wasn’t exactly a threat, I agreed to him for two reasons, the first being what I just said, and the second, Leo Bort doesn’t have the company anymore, but he still has a large amount of property in his name, it’s all in safes abroad, and he said he’d pass it on to you as soon as he rescued Molly Bort.” Baird Lane explained.
Christine White frowned, “Transfer me? Will he?”
Baird Lane grunted, “He won’t, and I’ll make him, and there’s no way I’m really going to let him get away with it.”
In this way, Christine White is relieved.
She hugged the man, “Baird, thank you.”
“All right, let’s get back to the hospital, and as for what ultimately happens to Leo Bort, it’s all settled when we get Molly Bort back.” Baird Lane pulled her toward the stairs.
Christine White followed him dependently, smiling in response.
Back at the hospital, Christine White is pulled away by Ives Norton.
Ives Norton knew that she was bound to have too many mood swings after going to see Leo Bort, and fearing that she had moved the fetus, he had to give her a maternity checkup right away in order to do so.
As it turns out, his behavior wasn’t much of a stretch, and the labor and delivery tests show that her fetus is indeed a little less stable because she’s so pissed off at Leo Bort.
She ended up just getting a birth control shot from the nurse, and then with a sore ass, she went back to laying in the hospital bed.
That trip was the next day.
Baird Lane is not at the hospital and has gone back to The Lane Family to straighten up.
The Lane Family wasn’t exactly taking it easy this time around with the collapse of Dong’s group, and also took some hard hits that he still needs to deal with, so he left early.
To hear Aunt Lucy tell it, it wasn’t even very light when she left.
“Ma’am, have some chicken soup.” Aunt Lucy took a bowl of soup from the thermos, gently blew on it, and handed it over to Christine White.
Christine White closed the design book in her hand and took it with a smile, “Thank you.”
“Thanks for nothing, drink up.” Aunt Lucy smiled kindly.
Christine White hmmm’s softly and stirs the bowl twice with her spoon, scooping up a spoonful and slowly drinking it into her mouth.
“Yummy.” Her eyes lit up.
Aunt Lucy smiled a toothy grin, “Drink as much as you like, there’s plenty more.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White responded, lowering her head and continuing to drink her soup.
Aunt Lucy, seeing her drinking seriously, didn’t disturb her and picked up the water bottle ready to fetch some water.
As a result, she had just taken a step out when she heard her cell phone ringing.
She put down the kettle in a hurry and walked over to remove the phone charger, only to take the phone and hand it to Christine White, “Ma’am, there’s a brief message for you.”
“Who?” Christine White blinked.
Aunt Lucy glanced at her phone screen, “Mr. Bess Camp.”
“It’s him?” Christine White raised a pretty eyebrow and put her bowl down, picking up her cell phone to see that it was really him.
She busied herself by unlocking her phone and tapping the text message open, the contents of which, made her head spin quite a bit.
He asked her how she was thinking about it and if she could go with him in four days.
Could she say that she’d completely forgotten about Leo Bort because she’d gone to see him once and not given him a second thought, so how was she supposed to know if she could go with him in four days.
“How am I supposed to reply to him?” Christine White rubbed her hair in distress.
Aunt Lucy also saw the content of the missive and looked at her askance, “By the way ma’am, why did you lie yesterday and not tell Mr. truthfully about you and Mr. Toki ah? And also joined me to lie together.”
The corner of Christine White’s mouth twitched, “I’m not ready to talk to Baird yet, and he’s a careful one, so all I have to do is tell him I’m going to go with Bess Camp and he’ll be absolutely furious.”
“Then you promised Mr. Toki in the first place.” Aunt Lucy muttered.
Christine White covered her face, “Because he helped me, I can’t help him, Aunt Lucy, help me figure out what I should do now, Mr. Toki is still waiting for my reply.”
