Chapter 447 – The Servants’ Room
Baird Lane looked coldly at the evasive-eyed woman, “Where have you been?”
“I … I went out for a stroll.” Molly Bort replied with a forced smile.
A glint of sarcasm flashed in Baird Lane’s eyes.
This woman, does she take him for a fool?
“Did I tell you that it was okay for you to stay here, but not to step foot outside, and you took my words for granted?” Baird Lane stood up and walked over to Molly Bort.
Molly Bort took a step back, “No no I have it all memorized, just out running some errands so ….”
“What do you smell like?” Baird Lane interrupted, he had just gotten close to her after she smelled an unusual odor.
Molly Bort heard him and lifted her own arm to sniff, “Nothing smells?”
“Sir, she’s lying, she smells like gasoline!” Aunt Lucy said as she came along at some point and got close enough to sniff Molly Bort.
Baird Lane’s eyes flashed, “Gasoline? Why do you smell like that, what have you been doing?”
Molly Bort didn’t realize she still smelled like gasoline and got a whiff of it, and her heart nearly jumped out of her throat in shock.
But in order not to show her face, she quickly adjusted her expression and emotions again, waved her hand and said, “Didn’t I just say, I went out for a stroll, then the car ran out of gas and went to the gas station to fill it up, so it should be the smell that was tainted at that time.”
“Heh, I’ve never heard of going to a gas station and smelling like gasoline… Is it possible that you filled yourself up with gasoline?” Aunt Lucy sarcastically.
Molly Bort was annoyed in her mind.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
This old woman, she’s targeting her on purpose, isn’t she?
Just wait, she’ll clean up the old woman sooner or later!
Mentally swearing, Molly Bort replied softly on her face, “No, but I made contact with the gas station workers and they smelled like gasoline.”
“You mean they infected you?” Aunt Lucy rolled her eyes.
Molly Bort’s expression twisted for a moment, tempted to hit the old woman.
“All right, let’s put the gasoline aside.” Baird Lane spoke up to interrupt the bickering between the old and the young, his deep eyes gazing at Molly Bort as if he was trying to see through her whole being, “How do you and Bess Camp know each other?”
“Bess Camp?” frowned Molly Bort suspiciously, “Baird, who is Bess Camp?”
The name is somewhat familiar.
“You don’t know?”
“I don’t know!” Molly Bort shook her head.
Baird Lane’s eyebrows trailed off and he looked at her with a deeper look, as if to see if she really didn’t recognize her or if she was lying.
But in the end, looking at it, it seems to be the former.
She was really unrecognizable!
“Don’t know even if you don’t.” Baird Lane spoke faintly with downcast eyes.
Since the woman didn’t know Bess Camp, he had nothing to ask from her.
To find out how Bess Camp knew Molly Bort and what the connection with Molly Bort was, look at the results of Gates’ investigation.
“Where’s her room?” Baird Lane asked of Aunt Lucy, turning away from Molly Bort.
Aunt Lucy pointed upstairs, “It’s next to your room with your wife, sir.”
I can’t believe it’s that!
Baird Lane’s brow wrinkled into a chuan of displeasure, “No she’s not allowed to live there, it’s not her place.”
That room, the room reserved for his and Christine White’s children.
At those words, Aunt Lucy’s old eyes lit up with joy in her heart, “Then I’ll go pack and move her to another room.”
“Uh-huh.” Baird Lane nodded, “Put her on the first floor.”
Aunt Lucy was even happier now, “OK, first floor is good, she should live on the first floor.”
The first floor was the maid’s room, which was even worse than hers, and all her rooms were in the guest room on the second floor, which was much bigger than the maid’s room.
Thinking about it, Aunt Lucy’s whole body was excited, stomping and running towards the upstairs, that speed, it doesn’t really look like an old person.
Molly Bort was uncomfortable listening to Baird Lane just as easily kick her out of the room she wanted to stay in and into the servants’ room, but didn’t dare say anything.
She knew exactly where she stood in his heart now, and was no longer the person who, with a single word, could make him offer up everything he had before.
And now it was a critical period, she could not provoke him even more, so even if she was not happy to live in the maid’s room, she could only swallow her teeth and blood, and wait for the future, wait for the future, when she took him down, she could live wherever she wanted.
With that, Molly Bort bowed her head and went to the servants’ room in resignation.
At that moment, Gates came in from outside with a file.
“President Lane.”
“Find out?” Baird Lane returned to the couch and sat down.
Gates nodded, “Found out, Chief Camp is not related to Molly Bort, they don’t actually know each other, but they should have heard about each other, the Chief Camp that Molly Bort hears about, is the heir to The Camp Family overseas, and the Molly Bort that Chief Camp hears about is all kinds of negative.”
“There’s nothing of value to the results.” Baird Lane was apparently less than pleased with the findings.
What he wanted to know was why Bess Camp had suddenly brought up Molly Bort and made a point of calling him.
Gates rubbed his nose, “There’s no way around it, that’s what was investigated and that’s accurate information.”
“Okay, let’s put that aside for now, what’s that file you’re holding?” Baird Lane asked as he looked at the papers he had brought with him.
Bess Camp hands the document up with both hands, “This is about that explosive bomb, the investigation results have come out, that explosive bomb was arranged by Owen Dong, he purchased it abroad through illegal channels and smuggled it in with a fishing boat.”
“A fishing boat?” Baird Lane sneered, “Then he’s really taking his time.”
“Unfortunately the chess move was a mistake.” Gates sighed, “He installed the explosive bomb, he should have wanted to blow us all up, but he didn’t have precognition and didn’t know how long to top off the time, he could only top it off for an approximate amount of time, and he was supposedly stalling for time by hanging the missus from the high shelf with Molly Bort, and letting President Lane you to make the choice, unfortunately …”
“It’s a shame he didn’t think we’d arrange for a sniper to take him out early.” Baird Lane closed the file and tossed it aside, saying coldly.
Gates nodded, “It was, but just as we were about to leave, the blast still timed out, but thankfully we still left just in time, that is ma’am …”
Saying this, Gates suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and hastily shut his mouth to see Baird Lane’s expression.
He winced at the sight of Baird Lane’s expression of icy coldness, and inwardly he wished he could slap himself.
Really, what a pot calling the kettle black.
Madame is a taboo right now, and he actually just said it.
“That … President Lane, there’s something else that’s strange.” Gates hastily changed the subject.
Baird Lane looked up at him, “Yes?”
“It’s about Chief Camp, he went back to China today, the ticket he booked was also for this afternoon, but for some reason he had it canceled again before he went to the airport, also Aunt Lucy said that she had met Chief Camp today, it was near our villa, and Chief Camp got out of the car specifically to say hello to Aunt Lucy, and said that there was a surprise at home. ” Gates returned.
“Surprise?” Baird Lane was only interested in those two words, “What surprise?”
Gates spreads his hands, “I asked Aunt Lucy, and Aunt Lucy said she didn’t see the surprise, and then Aunt Lucy went out to Chief Camp, and when Chief Camp heard that there was no surprise, his face changed, and he drove off on the spot.”
“Yeah.” Baird Lane’s eyelids drooped and he asked, “Where’s Bess Camp now?”
He felt that he needed to meet with Bess Camp.
“I don’t know, you asked me to look into Chief Camp’s relationship with Molly Bort, and I stopped by to check Chief Camp’s current location, but I couldn’t find out, it seems like his whereabouts were intentionally erased.” Gates said.
Baird Lane grunted, “Kinda mysterious.”
Looks like this secret that Bess Camp is talking about, it’s not easy. What is it?
