Chapter 85 Where to go
“What did you say?” the White’s mother and Christine White were startled at the same time.
Baird Lane straightened his cuffs slowly, “I mean, I’ll give you guys a hundred million dollars as long as Mick White goes to jail for five years, now do you hear me?”
“You … You you you …” the White’s mother pointed at him angrily, her hands shaking, “How can you say such things, Mick is at least your brother-in-law, you …”
“He is not my brother-in-law.” Baird Lane indifferently lifted his eyelids, “I’ve just said that I’ve never recognized any of you The White Family people except Christine White, and since you want to blackmail a hundred million dollars from me, I naturally have to ask for some interest, don’t I?”
“Hmph, that’s easy for you to say, but we Mick didn’t do anything illegal, so why should we Mick go to jail!” the White’s mother held her chin up proudly.
“What a meddler.” Baird Lane sneered, then looked to Christine White, “You tell her if Mick White did anything illegal or not.”
Christine White hmmm’d and nodded, “Mom, as I just told you, Mick gambling is against the law, and when you get caught you go to jail, and he gambled five million dollars into it, and with such a large suspected amount of money, he won’t be able to get out of jail without a couple of years in jail!”
She didn’t mean to exaggerate when she said that.
She had specifically looked up similar cases in the car on the way over.
the White’s mother panicked, no longer able to maintain any expression of smug pride on her face, “Really … really have to sit there for so long?”
“Sure.” Christine White nodded.
Now the White’s mother’s lips turned white with fear, “Then … What are you going to do? You’re not really going to turn Mick in, are you?”
“This …” Christine White craned her head to look at Baird Lane, asking what he meant.
If he hadn’t come, she could still make the call.
But now that he was here, she subconsciously thought of him as her main focus.
Baird Lane felt Christine White’s gaze and met her with a slight sideways glance, then quickly moved away, “I’m not in the mood to tell him that.”
“Really?” the White’s mother’s eyes widened in surprise.
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “Provided you guys teach him well and don’t let him go out and gamble again, if I find out he’s asking Christine for money again, I’m definitely not going to let him off the hook, understand?”
Hearing his warning, THE WHITE’S MOTHER shivered and nodded her head repeatedly, “I understand, I understand, that one hundred million …”
“You want more?” Baird Lane raised an eyebrow.
This old woman, she’s really greedy!
Obviously mother and daughter, why are their personalities diametrically opposed?
One loves money sickeningly and the other wants nothing …
At that thought, Baird Lane’s eyes looked deep into Christine White’s.
Christine White didn’t notice his stare and said angrily to the White’s mother, “Mom, is it the money or Mick that’s important? Do you really want Mick to go to jail?”
“What’s a dead girl talking about, who wants Mick to go to jail?” the White’s mother plucked at her.
She was very reluctant to part with the hundred million dollars, but she cared more about her son.
That’s what she had her heart set on giving birth to.
It’s her treasure!
“So you don’t want the money?” Baird Lane raised his wrist to look at his watch.
the White’s mother took a deep breath and nodded her head, forcing down the dismay in her heart.
Baird Lane snorted, “There are not many people in this world who can threaten me, and you The White Family are definitely not one of them, you ask Christine White for money, it’s her business if she wants to give it, I won’t care, but if it’s directed at me, then don’t even think about it, go away! ”
His last words were to Christine White.
Christine White looked at his back and then at the White’s mother who was in a daze, and couldn’t help but sigh, “Mom, I told you that Baird is not someone you can mess with, and you still don’t believe me!”
When she finished, she shook her head and walked quickly toward Baird Lane to catch up.
“Baird!” said Mick White as he chased him out of the flat before catching up with Baird Lane.
Baird Lane stopped to wait for her.
Seeing this, a flash of surprise crossed Christine White’s eyes and she quickened her pace to run over and stop beside him, “Baird, thank you.”
“Thanks for what?” Baird Lane resumed his stride.
Christine White also hurriedly followed up, “Of course it’s to thank you for coming over to help me deal with my mom, if I were alone, I don’t know how long I’d have to deal with it, to put it mildly, my mom can be difficult to deal with, and I’m even more surprised that she’s looking at it so simply with regards to Mick’s gambling.”
“Ignorant people do that.” Baird Lane took out his car keys and held them down.
Christine White’s mouth twitched and she didn’t say anything.
Although his words were a bit venomous, he really wasn’t wrong.
As a daughter, she also felt her mom was too ignorant.
Not only ignorant, but also insatiable, a hundred million how to say it, she now think of it to feel no face to put!
“Get in.” Baird Lane pulled open the passenger door.
Christine White answered and hurriedly sat up.
Baird Lane slammed the door shut and walked around the front of the car to get into the driver’s seat.
“In the future when The White Family people ask you for money, you’d better turn it all down, or figure it out before you decide if you want to give it to them.” He snapped.
Christine White paused in the act of fastening her seatbelt, “What’s wrong?”
“Just look at this.” Baird Lane picked up a file and handed it to her.
Christine White picked it up and turned it over suspiciously.
This view has raised blood pressure.
“They … How could they!” She almost cried in exasperation.
Instead of sympathizing with her, Baird Lane even taunts her, “You single-handedly condoned this didn’t you?”
“I …” Christine White bit her lip, speechless.
Baird Lane shifted down the gears and pressed the gas pedal, “When you asked me to help you investigate what your brother was doing with the money lately, I also asked Gates to check out the money you’ve given to The White Family over the past three years out of curiosity, and according to the bank statements, you’ve given a total of about thirteen hundred thousand dollars to The White Family. ”
“That much?” Christine White exclaimed.
Baird Lane squinted at her, “What’s your surprise when you pay yourself?”
“I don’t know, I’m never sure how much I give.” Christine White returned quietly.
One hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Doesn’t that mean it’s all her savings for the past three years!
“Then you’re really out of your league!” Baird Lane sneered.
Christine White sputtered sheepishly.
Baird Lane turned the steering wheel, “Just because you keep giving the money, they live large every time they get it, and they even have a decent amount of debt out there in the name of yours being my wife, and the last time I gave them five million dollars, they didn’t think to pay it back.”
“I don’t know …” Christine White clenched her folder and laughed bitterly, “Every time my mom asked for money, the reason was that something was wrong with the family or something was wrong with Mick, so I gave it.”
“Have you always been this stupid?”
“Huh?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Baird Lane pulled over to wait for a red light, “If you weren’t stupid, why would you believe a reason so devoid of credibility, if something did keep happening to your family, it would have been over a long time ago.”
Christine White covers her face in embarrassment, “Stop it …”
“I’m just giving you a heads up on what stupid things you’ve done.” The red light passed and Baird Lane restarted the car, “Next time grow a brain, don’t believe everything you’re told, and figure it out before you pay.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded her head repeatedly, indicating that she knew.
She looked at the folder in her hand and just felt heavy and hot.
Whenever her family asked for money, she gave it, never questioning whether their reasons for asking for it were true or not, but instead gloating that she had helped her family.
But in hindsight, the family was probably calling her stupid at the time.
Smiling to herself at the thought, Christine White turned her head out the window and froze, “Baird, this isn’t the way back to the cottage is it, where are we going?”
