Chapter 52 The Bort Family’s Past
“Yes, that’s what Miss Bort said.” The nursemaid ricked her back and returned humbly.
Christine White smiled faintly, “You go back.”
“Huh?” The caretaker was a little confused.
“I’m not going to see her, and look at me now, where am I going to get out of bed.” Christine White raised her left hand, which was in a sling.
She’s got nothing to see with Molly Bort.
She was still impressed with everything that happened the last time they met.
As for Molly Bort’s black-hearted lotus, she thought she’d better avoid it, lest she be counted again.
The caretaker didn’t expect Christine White to refuse so dryly, and was at a loss for words for a moment, “Ms. White, I know this is difficult for you, but Ms. Bort said she had to see you or …”
“You wait!” Aunt Lucy couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted the caregiver with a black face, “Or what? Or what? You Miss Bort is a human being, but our wife is not? If you Miss Bort wants to see our wife, our wife must go to see her, what kind of reasoning is that?”
Christine White nodded her head back and forth in agreement with that statement.
“No. …” The nursemaid, on the verge of tears, hastily waved her hand to explain, “Those aren’t my words, they’re Ms. Bort’s exact words.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I don’t care who said this!” Aunt Lucy thrust up her hips in an aggressive manner, “You go back and tell her why she can’t come over if she wants to see our wife and has to have our wife go over to her?”
“Ms. Bort just had surgery and couldn’t make it over.” The caretaker scrunched her neck and muttered in a small voice.
Aunt Lucy laughed in anger, “She just finished her surgery, isn’t our wife? Don’t forget, our wife is still lying here to save her, it’s her savior, what’s the difference between her treating her savior like this and being ungrateful?”
“This …” The caretaker had the sense to keep quiet.
Aunt Lucy disgustedly pushed her towards the door, “Okay, okay, what’s this this ah, you hurry up, our wife won’t see her, she really has something to say, either call or come here by yourself, or else it’s a no-go!”
Bang!
The door to the room was slammed vigorously shut.
Aunt Lucy clapped her hands and turned to walk back, “What the hell, justifying herself as a princess and going over to meet her.”
“Aunt Lucy,” Christine White watched her dumbfounded at this series of maneuvers and couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up, “You’re so good, I can’t believe you got rid of her so easily.”
Aunt Lucy laughed, “To deal with these people ah, we have to be dry, especially the woman surnamed Chi, it’s even more important to be a little stronger, otherwise it will be easy to suffer, that woman is not a good match.”
“I’ve already experienced something.” Christine White lamented.
“Oh?” Aunt Lucy asked curiously, “Did something happen between you and her, ma’am?”
“Well, there was a little friction.”
Christine White gave a brief account of what happened the day she met Molly Bort.
Aunt Lucy was so angry after hearing this that she slapped the table, “What a rotten hearted one, no one can compare to her in terms of ingratitude, and on the other hand, she still pretends to be harmless, it’s really disgusting, and it’s just that Mr. can’t see through her true face.”
The corners of Christine White’s mouth twitched, and in her heart she quite agreed with those words.
Because after all the time she had spent observing and examining, the Molly Bort in Baird Lane’s eyes was really quite different from the one she had seen.
“Ma’am, you stay away from that Chi woman from now on.” Aunt Lucy poured a glass of water and handed it to Christine White’s mouth.
Christine White happened to be a little thirsty and took a couple sips of water from her hand, “Farther?”
Aunt Lucy would actually advise her that way.
Looks like Molly Bort is more dangerous than she thought.
“Yes, stay as far away as you can!” Aunt Lucy looked at Christine White with a serious expression, “That woman was horribly possessive when she was with Mister back then, it was not easy for His Lordship to get them to break up, and now that you’re married to Mister, I’m worried that she’ll do something to you because of her unwillingness.”
“I see.” Christine White lifted her chin slightly to show that she understood, “Don’t worry Aunt Lucy, I know what to do, but I’m a little curious as to why on earth Grandpa wanted them to break up.”
“It’s not because that woman is ungrateful.” Aunt Lucy skimmed her mouth, “I can’t tell you more about the specifics, anyway, it’s just that back then, Mr. saved her, but she left Mr. unattended, I guess it’s a genetic problem, she inherited it from her mother.”
“Her mom?” Christine White blinked, suddenly interested, “Aunt Lucy, tell me about it.”
“Yes.” Aunt Lucy put down her glass of water, “It started more than twenty years ago, when The Bort Family was just starting out, Leo Bort’s wife wasn’t Molly Bort’s mom yet, Molly Bort’s mom was a third party, pregnant with Molly Bort and married into The Bort Family. Molly Bort’s mom was a third party, pregnant with Molly Bort and married into The Bort Family.”
“Wouldn’t that make Molly Bort a bastard child?” Christine White’s mouth dropped open in surprise.
Aunt Lucy nodded, “Leo Bort and his first wife started a business together, and by the time the business had some success, Leo Bort also started to play around on the outside, and ended up with a female college student that his wife was sponsoring, and that female college student was Molly Bort’s mom.”
“And then what?”
“Then Molly Bort’s mom, not willing to be the third party, came to the door with her belly to pick a fight, and it just so happened that the main house was pregnant at that time too, and in about the same month, and in the end, I don’t know what happened, but the main house was sent to the hospital with one body.”
“That’s too scary.” Christine White’s body shivered, creeped out by the sound of it, goosebumps rising all over her body.
Aunt Lucy lamented, “It was such a big deal that no one in the upper class knew about it, and The Bort Family’s reputation was in tatters, and Molly Bort’s mom suffered from depression and died within a few years of giving birth to Molly Bort.”
“It’s true that the hoi polloi are in deep water.” Christine White staggered.
Buzz!
The cell phone suddenly vibrated.
Aunt Lucy picked up her phone and glanced at it, handing it to her in surprise, “Ma’am, it’s Mister.”
“Baird?” said Christine White, taking it with a showy frown, a little less than pleased.
She’d dismissed Molly Bort’s people only moments before, and Baird Lane calling at this very moment was a bit of a coincidence anyhow.
Couldn’t it be that Molly Bort, seeing that she wasn’t going over, had told Baird Lane something trumped up?
Just like last time, calling white black …
Thinking about it, Christine White ran her finger across the green icon on the screen and tensed her heartstrings, “Hello?”
“Christine White, did you scold Molly?” Baird Lane’s cool, low voice came through, and it looked like an accusation.
Christine White mentally said sure enough and bit her lip and returned, “I didn’t curse her, I haven’t even seen her today.”
“But Molly told me that she sent someone to your hospital room to thank you and you called her ungrateful.” Baird Lane sneered.
“I didn’t!” Christine White huffed, biting her lower lip, “It was clearly her who wanted me to meet her, saying she had something to talk to me about, not a thank you at all.”
“Christine White, is it fun for you to lie?” Baird Lane’s voice was colder, and there was obvious displeasure in it.
Christine White froze, “Lying?”
“You said Molly asked you to come over to see her, but would she not know if you could go in your current state? What the hell are you targeting Molly for so much?”
“I …”
“All right!” Baird Lane interrupted her impatiently, “Christine White, I want you to stay well in the hospital and stay out of trouble, and don’t go bullying Molly!”
The call hung up and Christine White looked at her blacked out cell phone, her entire body speechless.
Don’t go bullying Molly Bort. That’s too funny.
Who’s bullying who anyway!
