Seize His Little Wife

Chapter 553 – Strangling in the Cradle



“A jewelry designer.” Baird Lane returned coolly, the distaste in his voice, undisguised.

Christine White’s eyes were streaming, “Have you thought about sending Ann back to her real father?”

“Hmm?” Baird Lane looked at her, “For her real father.”

“Yeah, I was thinking, since Ms. Bort can’t teach Ann well, and you, as a stepfather, can’t teach Ann well some of the time, why don’t you just send Ann to her real father?” Christine White said.

After saying that, she then lowered her eyelids to hide the dark color in her eyes.

She said these things on purpose, to deliberately provoke Baird Lane, to raise in him the idea of sending Ann Lane away.

Although she hated him, she had to admit that he was little baby’s father, and since he was little baby’s father, he could only be little baby’s father alone, and she would never allow that he had any other children besides little baby.

So Ann Lane , she must be driven out, she will not allow anyone, to take Po’s place.

And she swears that she can forget what Ann Lane did to Bo if he sends her away, but if he doesn’t, then don’t blame her.

She only gave him a day to think about it.

Baird Lane didn’t know what was going on in Christine White’s mind, but he was a little intrigued by her offer, and with that intrigue, a little hesitant, “But Ann doesn’t know that her real father is someone else.”

“So what, just tell her, she has the right to know who she really is, and even if you don’t tell her now, she’ll still find out later, she’s small now, and if you tell her, it might not take her long to accept it, but if you tell her when she’s older, I’m afraid she won’t be able to accept it.” Christine White reminded.

The magnitude of The Lane Family’s wealth was such that she couldn’t believe that there wasn’t anyone who wouldn’t be tempted.

Ann Lane may not have much of a concept of wealth now that she’s little, but if she grows up, she’ll definitely have her eye on The Lane Family’s wealth.

She doesn’t want Ann Lane to steal from Bao, so she has to nip the threat of Ann Lane in the bud.

“I’ll think about it.” Baird Lane rubbed his temples back.

Christine White poured a glass of water by him, “Think about it earlier, Miss Bort and Ann, mother and daughter, have not brought negative impact to The Lane Family and The Lane Family during this period of time, they are no longer suitable to stay in The Lane Family, or they will cause more trouble.”

“I’m already thinking about divorcing Molly Bort.” Baird Lane looked her in the eye and snapped.

Christine White froze slightly, “Thinking about divorce?”

“Uh-huh.” Baird Lane nods.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Christine White’s eyes flicked up, “So when are you going to divorce Molly Bort?”

She gripped the glass in her hand tightly and forced herself to hold back her inner excitement.

She’d always wanted them to get divorced, dreamed about it.

Because only when they’re divorced and Molly Bort is without the patronage of The Lane Family can she get her revenge!

Baird Lane didn’t answer that question for Christine White, he swept her clenched hand and instead asked, “You’re keen for me to get a divorce?”

“Right.” Christine White thoughtlessly stayed back.

A faint smirk spilled out of Baird Lane’s eyes, “Why?”

“Because Ms. Bort doesn’t deserve you.” Christine White said.

“Is there no other reason than that?” Baird Lane stared at her intently.

Christine White was inexplicably a little flustered inside by his look and subconsciously averted her gaze, “Yes.”

“What is it?” Baird Lane’s eyes stared up.

Christine White rubbed a handful of her cheeks to redden her own, and pretended to be a little embarrassed as she returned, “I won’t tell you.”

Baird Lane looked at her like this, his eyes deepened, his thin lips opened and he was about to open his mouth to speak when the phone in his pocket rang, breaking the faint ambiguous atmosphere in the office all together.

Baird Lane’s face darkened instantly, and he felt rather displeased with the person who had called.

“Hello?” Baird Lane held his cell phone out and spoke to the person on the other end of the line in a not-so-good tone.

On the other end of the line, Gates heard the faint hint of anger embedded in his words, and the whole thing was confused, not understanding what he had done to make him angry.

However, Gates didn’t think too much about it, and quickly adjusted his mind, and said with a serious expression, “President Lane, you asked me to investigate something about what Molly Bort has done in the past six years, and now I’ve encountered a little problem, so I need you to come over here in person.”

“Where are you?” Baird Lane asked, frowning.

Gates replied, “The Bort Family Villa, and another thing, Leo Bort is missing.”

“What?” Baird Lane’s expression went cold, “When did he disappear?”

Gates some bad ashamed back, “not clear, we have not been to pay attention to Leo Bort, also just this time when I investigated Molly Bort, by the way, I checked Leo Bort, only to find that Leo Bort disappeared, I contacted the villagers of Leo Bort’s old home, said that many days ago, there is a group of people went to their village and took Leo Bort away.”

“Who sent that group?” Baird Lane asked in a hushed voice.

Christine White listens to the call and picks up her red wine and pretends to be sipping it, but in reality she’s using the glass to shield the corners of her upturned mouth.

“It’s not clear, and the villagers couldn’t tell us what the group’s characteristics were.” Gates sighed helplessly.

Baird Lane pursed his lips, “I know, I’ll be right over.”

Maybe Leo Bort was sent away by Molly Bort or something.

He knew all along that Molly Bort had taken all of Leo Bort’s money.

Only it was a father-daughter thing, and he didn’t care.

“Okay.” Gates answered.

Baird Lane hung up the phone and looked over at Christine White and was about to speak when Christine White put down her glass, “I heard everything, go ahead.”

Baird Lane hmmm’d, “Sorry, I’ll see you next time then.”

“Good.” Christine White nodded.

Baird Lane put away her cell phone and lifted her foot out of her office.

Christine White shook the red wine in her hand gently after he left, her eyes obscure.

After a while, she suddenly took out her cell phone as well, flipped out Aunt Lucy’s number, and sent a text message over, asking to meet her at the hospital in an hour, with something to talk about.

Soon after, a message from Aunt Lucy replied, agreeing to meet.

Christine White laughed a little at this before putting down her glass, straightening her clothes a little, grabbing her bag and leaving the office, ready to leave for the hospital.

She was too drunk to drive herself, and Lisa had gone off to do a handover at Wang’s company and never returned, so she had to take a cab there herself.

It was only half an hour after arriving at the hospital.

Aunt Lucy hadn’t arrived yet, so she went to Bo’s hospital room first.

Ives Norton just happened to be in Bo’s hospital room, applying medicine to Bo’s body and face.

little baby’s emotions were no longer as agitated as yesterday, and he allowed someone to touch him, but when he was touched, he looked like a toy doll that had lost its soul, sitting motionless on the hospital bed without blinking his eyes, just staring at the bedsheets with a pair of empty and lifeless eyes, which was heartbreaking to watch.

“Ives,” Christine White called softly to Ives Norton as she walked into the hospital room.

Ives Norton looked back, “Coming?”

“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded, then looked over at Bo in the hospital bed, her eyes immediately red.

Ives Norton sighed, “Bo he’s all the way back to where he was a year ago now.”

“I know, I can see that.” Christine White walked over and wrapped Po in her arms as her heart ached like pins and needles.

“Did you contact Dr. Tom? When is he coming over?” Ives Norton asked as he dropped the swab he was using to medicate Bo.
