Chapter 84 One Hundred Million
“I’ll see if you deliberately lied to me about not having money.” the White’s mother spat out the toothpick in her mouth and unhurriedly pulled Christine White’s bag back together with no hint of embarrassment at being caught.
Christine White pounded her rear end tiredly, “So now you know I didn’t lie to you.”
“And who said please, in case you came here without money on purpose.” the White’s mother was unrelenting.
Christine White closed her eyes with a tired heart, “Okay, I can’t help it if you want to think that, I’ve finished cleaning, where’s Dad and Mick?”
She suddenly remembered that she hadn’t seen either of them since she arrived.
“Your father is out looking for someone to play chess with, and your brother is out looking for a client to talk business with.” the White’s mother snorted back.
Christine White pursed her lips, “Mom, that’s what I came to see you about this time, is it true that Mick went to someone about business?”
the White’s mother’s expression changed slightly, “What do you mean?”
Christine White looked at her, “I mean, did Mick go off to talk business or did he go off to gamble with someone.”
“You … How do you know?” the White’s mother stared.
Christine White sucked in a backwards breath, “Mom, you did know about Mick’s gambling!”
“I … I don’t know …” THE WHITE’S MOTHER’S eyes fluttered sheepishly.
Christine White gasped and laughed, “Don’t lie to me, you just admitted it, mom, do you have any idea what you’re doing?”
“What can I do, it’s just gambling, it’s not a big deal.” the White’s mother grunted.
“Not a big deal?” Christine White looked at her in shock, “Mom, it’s not a big deal, so what is, and do you even know what gambling means? And how many people have plugged their homes?”
“You’ve had enough!” THE WHITE’S MOTHER angrily slapped the couch and stood up, “What a broken home, can you say something nice, it’s not that serious!”
“Why no, as far as I know Mick has become addicted to gambling and has lost nearly five and a half, that five million was from Baird last time I believe.”
“Yeah.” the White’s mother graciously admitted.
Christine White was so angry that her heart ached and she took several deep breaths before she was able to get over it, “Then it seems that your excuse for asking me for the money was a lie, it wasn’t even that Mick had crashed his car with someone, it was that you wanted money to pay off his gambling debts!”
the White’s mother bristled in disbelief, “Can you pay me if I don’t say that?”
Christine White was on the verge of cracking up at her attitude and became emotional, “Mom, do you even realize that you’re aiding and abetting the enemy! Is it good for Mick to gamble? No! He’s only going to get crazier and crazier, and sooner or later he’s going to lose this family in time.”
“Lose everything?” The White’s mother didn’t believe this, but instead said proudly, “There’s still you guys, you’re his sister and brother-in-law, you can’t just leave him alone.”
Christine White flinched for a moment, then reacted, pointing at herself with shock, “So you just thought that Baird and I would help him pay off his gambling debts so that you didn’t think Mick’s gambling was a big deal?”
“Yeah, son-in-law is so rich, what’s wrong with helping Mick pay off his debts, you’re his sister and brother-in-law.”
“You …” Christine White swayed a little, feeling a little blackness in her eyes.
She knew she was pissed off, she pinched her thighs as hard as she could so she wouldn’t pass out from being pissed off, “Mom, how could you, if Mick really owed money from his business ventures, it wouldn’t matter if I helped him pay it off, but it’s a gamble, and he’s only going to owe more and more, so how will I ever be able to pay it off, and on top of that, who the hell is Baird to help Mick pay it off? ”
“Just because he’s your husband!” the White’s mother said rightfully.
Christine White laughed, really pissed off, “Yes, he’s my husband, but we signed a property notarization when we got married, and I have nothing to do with his money or anything in The Lane Family, and that’s what I just told you, if you want him to divorce me, then you go to him. ”
“Divorce?” THE WHITE’S MOTHER was baffled, “How does this get into the divorce business?”
“Why can’t I, who would want to accept a daughter-in-law who lets her husband’s family pay off her brother’s debts?” Christine White gave her a sidelong glance, her voice was cool and muted, “Mom, you should know what kind of person Baird is, he doesn’t even care about me, he would still care about The White Family ?”
“This …” THE WHITE’S MOTHER’s mouth dropped open, unable to catch the words.
Christine White, seeing this, continued to exhort, “So ah? While Mick has not yet owed a high gambling debt, you hurry to let him stop, do not go to gamble again, or when the time comes to pay back the money, not only to be chased by those in the casino, may also be imprisoned.”
“That bad?” the White’s mother was shocked.
Christine White nodded, “You can look it up on the internet, that’s what I did before I came over to advise you.”
“But I don’t know where Mick is now, he hasn’t come back for several days.” the White’s mother eagerly pulled her hand, a motherly look said: “Christine ah, I can not contact Mick, in case something happens to Mick, you must help him, I know that my son-in-law is not much affection for our family, but how he is also Mick’s brother-in-law! …”
“I won’t mind him!” Baird Lane’s cold voice sounded in the doorway.
Christine White was startled for a moment and hastily turned her head to look over, only to realize that the door to the living room had actually been left open, and that Baird Lane was walking in on two long legs.
“What brings you here?” Christine White asked frostily when he got closer.
Baird Lane swept her off her feet and returned indifferently, “You never came back to the cottage, and I didn’t know you were here until I asked Aunt Lucy.”
“So you came specifically to pick me up?” Christine White laced her fingers together and looked at him expectantly.
Baird Lane’s thin lips twitched a bit without answering, turning his gaze to the White’s mother in a daze, “Auntie, I’ve listened to a bit of what you’ve just said, and I’ll tell you in no uncertain terms that I won’t be stepping up to do the least bit of favors when it comes to Mick White.”
“Why, Mick’s your brother-in-law!” the White’s mother snapped back, disgruntled.
“I never thought of him as any kind of brother-in-law.” Baird Lane coldly hooked the corner of his mouth, “The only The White Family person I recognize is Christine, none of you are in the scope of my acceptance, to me, you are just strangers, and that five million last time, it was only because I gave it to you because you raised Christine for one game, just as the my bride price for marrying her.”
“Recognize …” Christine White repeated the words and couldn’t help but snicker.
He said to recognize her hey!
Could she then assume that he had recognized her as his wife, even though he did not yet have feelings for her?
“A dowry?” the White’s mother didn’t like to hear Baird Lane’s words, and grimaced, “You should give us a dowry, but this dowry is a little too little, you at least have tens of billions of dollars.”
“And how much do you want?” Baird Lane wrinkled his nose.
the White’s mother’s eyes rolled and she held out a finger, “One hundred million!”
Baird Lane narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Christine White, however, was furious, “A hundred million dollars? Mom, how can you say that!”
A lion wouldn’t dare open its mouth that wide!
“You shut up, you don’t get to talk here!” the White’s mother chided.
Christine White clenched her palms indignantly and was about to speak when Baird Lane held her head down.
“Baird?” she looked at him with some confusion.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Baird Lane ignored Christine White and only sneered at the White’s mother “Are you sure you want a hundred million?”
“Of course.” The White’s mother thought he agreed, and the man started to get smug, “We raised her so well, what’s wrong with you giving a hundred million dollars?”
“Heh …” Baird Lane laughed twice in a low, morose and dangerous laugh, “A hundred million is fine, how about taking Mick White for five years in prison? “
