Chapter 492 – I won’t let you get away with this.
Christine White covered her lips in surprise, “Mrs. Lane what are you talking about, how could I possibly think such a thing.”
“You know in your heart if you have such thoughts, and you can’t fool me!” Molly Bort looked at her with disdain.
Christine White dropped her eyes, “Mrs. Lane, you really misunderstand me, I …”
“I misunderstood you?” Molly Bort interrupted her conspiratorially, “If you didn’t have that in mind, why did you come out to dinner with my husband?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Mrs. Lane, it’s just a business meal.” Christine White returned.
Molly Bort wrapped her arms around herself, “What about last night? What about last night when you told Baird that I told you to leave him alone and not be a third party? I was on the phone, but I didn’t say anything like that to you, did I.”
Christine White blinked innocently, “Mrs. Lane didn’t say that, but that’s what Mrs. Lane had in mind isn’t it? I just told President Lane what you had in mind Mrs. Lane, and that’s not wrong either!”
“Heh, strong words!” Molly Bort tugged her cheeks conspiratorially, “What do you mean right? Do you think I don’t know what you’re playing at? You’re just pretending to be pathetic, deliberately speaking these words to slander me and provoke my relationship with Baird, you can’t hide this kind of tactic from me, I’ve played it years ago.”
“Is that so?” Christine White smiled imploringly, “So that’s really it …”
“What do you mean by that?” Molly Bort frowned, inexplicably feeling something bad inside.
Christine White propped her head lazily, “Meaning, what I heard was true.”
“What did you hear?” Molly Bort narrowed her eyes, venom catalyzing them.
Christine White glanced at her undaunted and sneered in her mind.
This woman, after six years, hasn’t grown at all, and still only uses this face to add to the intimidation.
“It’s nothing, I just heard from the circle that Mrs. Lane also transferred the relationship between President Lane and the former Mrs. Lane and killed the former Mrs. Lane to get to the top, I didn’t believe it at first, thinking that Mrs. Lane is not this kind of person, until Mrs. Lane just said that those tactics of mine are the leftovers of your game, I then I believed it.”
Speaking of which, Christine White looked at Molly Bort admiringly, “Mrs. Lane, you sure are good at that.”
Molly Bort was terrified in her mind, her face was even more hideous from panic, she slapped the table, “Nonsense, when did I provoke them, when did I get that woman killed!”
She retorted loudly.
As if being loud adds credibility.
How could Christine White not see this little thought of hers, with contempt in her eyes?
After six years, this Molly Bort woman is really getting out of her depth, she’s just a little irritated and she’s showing this look of weakness that makes it obvious that there’s something wrong.
Maybe being a rich wife for six years has made her only know how to enjoy herself and forget to think of danger in peace.
But it would be a good thing for her, maybe she could find an opportunity to terrorize Molly Bort, maybe Molly Bort would just give an account of all the evil things she had done!
At the thought, Christine White’s eyes twinkled slightly as she sat up straight and picked up a spoon to stir the corn chowder in front of her, her movements graceful and pleasing to the eye.
“Mrs. Lane, don’t get mad just yet, I didn’t say any of this, it’s what’s been circulating in the circle, don’t you know that Mrs. Lane?” Christine White asked while stirring the soup.
Molly Bort’s face changed and changed, a comical mixture of green and white.
She didn’t know, of course, that ever since her wedding to Baird six years ago, except for that scandalous incident, people in her circle didn’t even bother to befriend her, and Baird forbade her to take the initiative to do so.
So what exactly the circles were saying about her, she hadn’t heard a thing.
Now she realized that the circles were actually saying that she was a third party to the throne, or that she had killed the original to get there, and while that was true, how did the circles know that it was she who had killed Christine White? How long have these speculations been circulating?
For a moment, Molly Bort’s heart grew even more frightened, and both hands were clenched into fists, still vaguely trembling.
One or two saying this wouldn’t bother her, but with more people saying it, the truth would be exposed one day, and what would happen to her then, she didn’t dare to think about.
“Mrs. Lane? Mrs. Lane?” Christine White saw Molly Bort’s sudden shiver of horror on her face and knew in her heart what she was thinking.
If it weren’t for the occasion, I’d love to laugh out loud.
“What?” Molly Bort slowed down with an agitation.
Christine White knocked on the table, “Nothing, it’s just that Mrs. Lane seems to be thinking of something horrible and woke you up specifically.”
Molly Bort’s face sank, “You think I’d appreciate that?”
“I didn’t want Mrs. Lane to thank me, but Mrs. Lane’s attitude does need to be corrected, an uneducated woman will only drag President Lane’s feet and make President Lane lose face, am I right Mrs. Lane?” Christine White smile turned cold.
Molly Bort was furious and pointed at her nose, “You really do have your heart set on Baird, what, are you saying all this because you don’t think I’m worthy of being this Mrs. Lane, and that I should hurry up and step aside? I tell you, don’t even think about it, as long as I live, I won’t let you have your way!”
“Is that so?” Christine White’s slender fingers twisted a strand of long hair around her ear and her voice sank, “Since Mrs. Lane repeatedly thinks that I’m having thoughts about President Lane, wouldn’t it be wrong of me to do something about it without actually doing something about it, Mrs. Lane?”
“You …” Molly Bort’s eyes widened as she tried to say something.
Christine White stood up and coldly slapped her hand that was pointing at her away, “Mrs. Lane has repeatedly provoked me, do you really think that I don’t have a temper and that I, The Camp Family, don’t have any gumption? So Mrs. Lane, if President Lane really wants to divorce you because of me, you can’t blame me oh, it’s all your own fault.”
With those words, Christine White snorted coldly and got up to leave, leaving a dumbfounded Molly Bort sitting there.
Back at the office, Christine White had just put her bag down and hadn’t even had time to take her seat when she received an unexpected call.
The call was from Baird Lane, which was no surprise to her.
Now that she and Baird Lane were only business partners and had met three or four times, it was surprising that Baird Lane, who should not be familiar with each other, should call her out of the blue.
But Christine White was only surprised for a split second before she tapped her aching shoulder with one hand and answered the phone with the other.
“President Lane, what can I do for you?”
Couldn’t it be that Molly Bort came to him with a complaint and he came to seek justice?
“Ms. Camp.” On the other end of the line, Baird Lane called out to Christine White before he spoke of the purpose of his call, “I found out that the person who was spying on you outside of your business and restaurant was my wife, and I’m sorry.”
Christine White raised an eyebrow, “President Lane got surveillance along the way so quickly?”
“Well, had Gates pull it from the traffic control department.” Baird Lane responded.
Christine White was really surprised now.
He had assumed that his comment at the restaurant about checking the surveillance along the way was just a throwaway comment, so and she had been very casual in her retort at the time, not believing that he would actually do it.
After all, she was the one being spied on, and she was just a partner to him, so he didn’t really have to do anything for her.
I didn’t realize that not only did he do that, but he even called him personally to tell him about it, so it was clear that he was very attached to the matter.
Why?
Christine White was a little puzzled, but she didn’t think much of it, and nodded with a smile, “It’s really troublesome for President Lane, in fact, President Lane didn’t need to tell me this specifically, I already knew that the person who was looking at me at that time, was Mrs. Lane.”
Baird Lane immediately realized what was going on and asked in a hushed voice, “Is it possible that she approached you after I left?”
