“No, but she did emphasize that you take it very seriously when you hear it.” Gates described the meaning of Molly Bort’s words at the time.
Baird Lane snorted coldly, “What makes her think I’ll take it seriously?”
Gates shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know about that, I saw the look of confidence on her face.”
“Heh!” Baird Lane grunted disdainfully and came to a stop in front of a room door, lifting his leg and kicking it open.
The people inside the house screamed in surprise at the sudden breaking open of the door.
Molly Bort jumped right into Leo Bort’s arms.
Leo Bort patted her back soothingly, “Molly don’t be afraid, it’s okay, it’s Baird coming.”
“Baird?” asked Molly Bort, looking up from Leo Bort’s arms and towards the doorway, where she saw two figures standing there, led by Baird Lane and followed by Gates.
Molly Bort breathed a huge sigh of relief, and that frightened heart, slowly calmed down.
It’s not that she’s timid, but she’s been tortured ever since she was taken away by Owen Dong, and with everything that happened yesterday, so much so that she now subconsciously feels scared at the slightest breeze.
“Baird, you’re here.” Molly Bort was still a little pale, but managed to force a smile at Baird Lane.
Baird Lane didn’t even bother to greet her, his eyes scanning the room, and after seeing the two papers sitting on the coffee table, he headed there.
Coming to a stop in front of the coffee table, he bent slightly to pick up the two documents, “Why don’t you sign them?”
He asked the father and daughter in front of him, who always broke their word, with coldness in his eyes.
Leo Bort got a little scared, sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, and stammered, “I … I signed …”
“What? ” Molly Bort froze, then yelled at him in disbelief, “You signed? When did you sign it?”
A dark light flickered in Baird Lane’s deep pupils, a question that he, too, wondered about.
Obviously before coming here Aunt Lucy said that Leo Bort wouldn’t sign it, so how come he’s signing it now.
Baird Lane was intrigued by the turn of events, and his sharp gaze fell on Leo Bort, slow to move.
Leo Bort’s hunched shoulders cringed even more, and he even put his head down, afraid to look Baird Lane in the eye with his own daughter.
“I … I signed it while you were in the bathroom.” He returned sheepishly.
Molly Bort almost gasped and fell on her back, “Dad!”
What the hell is going on here?
Why did Dad turn out like this, become so timid and scared?
He didn’t used to be like this.
At this moment, Molly Bort heart to Leo Bort can not help but rise a wave of grudging dislike, grudging their own father, how to become today’s this kind of cowardly and useless appearance.
Molly Bort’s exuded boredom with Leo Bort was unmistakably seen by Baird Lane and Leo Bort himself.
Leo Bort was shocked and angry, he couldn’t believe that his daughter, who he had begged back by leaving her dignity and old face behind, would actually dislike him.
He was becoming weak and compromised, but it wasn’t what he wanted, who told him that he was on the verge of being tortured, especially mentally, and was on the verge of breaking down
These days he had been locked up here, he couldn’t even get out of his room, and all the windows in the room had all been boarded up by Gates’ people, in order to prevent him from having a chance to escape.
Because the doors and windows were stapled shut, he couldn’t see outside, and the sunlight outside couldn’t come in, causing the room to be not only damp, but also gloomy, and if he didn’t turn on the lights, it would be just like nighttime, and he wouldn’t be able to see anything.
And he has been living for many days this kind of day and night can not be divided into day and night, not a single person to pay attention to him, and no one to come to his rescue, quiet as if the whole world is only one person left, he is so by the darkness has been swallowed up, has been swallowed up, into this description of the present woeful appearance of the haggard.
“That was fun!” Baird Lane suddenly spoke up, breaking the eerie silence in the room.
He really didn’t expect that a single word from himself could actually provoke the previous conflicts between this father and daughter and make this father and daughter show signs of breaking up.
He’d thought their father-daughter bond was so good, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
“Leo Bort, since you’ve signed it, all the property in your name, from this moment on, is no longer yours, I’ll arrange for a financial inventory to be taken of what’s in your name, and if it’s a little less, I’ll let you make it up twice as much.” Baird Lane slapped Leo Bort in the face with the signed copy of the transfer.
The move was undoubtedly humiliating and threw Leo Bort’s face and dignity to the ground once again.
Leo Bort’s heart was filled with humiliation and hatred, but he didn’t dare to show it, and could only lie low and not say a word.
Baird Lane, self-conscious, handed the transfer to Gates behind him, then picked up Molly Bort’s unsigned copy of the transfer and came to her.
“Why don’t you sign? Say a reason I can accept, if not, I’ll have you signed in custody.” Baird Lane said in a morose voice as he cupped Molly Bort’s chin and moved closer to her.
Molly Bort shivered, panicked in her heart, but pretended to be calm on her face, “Baird, it’s not that I don’t want to sign it, I know I’ve fallen into your hands, and I have to sign it if I don’t sign it, but this time I really can’t sign it ah, I’ve already made a will, and it’s been notarized, and you know that wills are important, and with a will, it won’t help me even if I sign a transfer of my property! I’ve already made a will and it’s been notarized.
Baird Lane’s hand cupping her chin tightened violently as if he were trying to crush her jaw, and her expression twisted in pain as tears and snot came out of her eyes.
Baird Lane, seeing this, with disgust all in his eyes, and not caring to ask questions, flung her chin away quickly, straightened up and took a handkerchief out of his pocket, and began to clean his fingers carefully, one by one, as if they were stained with some violent venom, and watched Molly Bort with eyes wide open, and with anger and vexation.
Does he dislike her so much, treat her so little?
Molly Bort wanted to cry a little, it’s true that once a man changes his mind, he doesn’t recognize his six parents.
Even if he didn’t love her now, they had at least had a previous relationship, but he didn’t remember any of the old feelings and went so overboard with her!
Baird Lane didn’t know what Christine White was thinking, and wasn’t interested, as he wiped his fingers clean and dropped his handkerchief right on the floor without it, asking grimly, “When did you make your will?”
He actually didn’t realize that the woman had quietly made a will, making his plan to transfer his property a failure.
“It was instituted a long time ago, after I turned eighteen.” Molly Bort sputtered without changing her face.
In fact, she didn’t have a will for long, and only made it after learning that Christine White was her half-sister, in order to prevent her property from falling into Christine White’s hands.
She knew very well that Christine White and herself had an undying hatred, and Christine White would know the identity one day, once she learned that they were both daughters of The Bort Family, then Christine White would definitely make a move to grab The Bort Family’s property in order to take revenge on her, that’s why she specially left a hand to make a will first, then even if she died in the end, Christine White could not get her property. That’s why she specifically left a hand, first made a will, then even if she finally died in the hands of Christine White, Christine White can not get her property.
As expected, she made the right move.
At the thought, Molly Bort had a crazy grin in her eyes, and all her heart was in her face.
Baird Lane licked the seat of his back teeth and his eyes narrowed dangerously, “Molly Bort, where’s the will?”
“I’m not going to tell you.” Molly Bort’s smile grew wider, “Baird, I know you hate me and are disgusted with me right now, and we’ve come this far and are not destined to go back, so I’m not going to bother pretending anything else, I’m telling you unequivocally I’m not going to give Christine White what’s mine.”
Baird Lane looked at her with thin eyes, “The Bort Family never had anything of yours, and what you call yours, as you call it, is all Christine White’s.”
