Chapter 496

In the study. Arthur looked at Baird seriously and said, "Abbott is investigating things here." Baird: "What?" "I think it has something to do with Miss Esther!" After thinking for a while, Arthur analyzed. Abbott and New Clamport had nothing to do with each other, but now he was investigating this matter. So it must be because Rita asked him to do so. Originally, Emma's changes during this period of time were very obvious. In addition, Nelson was like this. From the questions she asked, he knew she doubted him now. But Baird didn't expect that she would let Abbott check it out. "Sir." Arthur looked at Baird seriously. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Obviously, if they continued to investigate this matter now, maybe Rita would find out. What did those things mean to Rita? The truth that he had always thought of! However, it was like onion. She was peeling less than one-third of it now, and what was inside was the most piercing. Back then, she had been forced into the abyss of madness. Now that she knew what was inside, how could she cross it. "Leave it to me. You go first." "Yes." Arthur left. When there was only Baird left in the study, the man's eyes flashed with a gloomy and dangerous cold light. Abbott's number flashed on his phone. The phone was quickly picked up. "Hello." "It's me!" Baird suppressed the fluctuations in his voice and tried to speak calmly to Abbott on the other side of the phone. Obviously, Abbott did not expect that Baird would call him at this time. He was stunned for a moment and his tone sank. "What's the matter?" "Stop investigating!" Baird went straight to the point. Abbott: "..." Stop!? "So, do you really have something to hide from Rita?" He didn't expect that Baird would notice because he had done it secretly enough. It had to be said that Baird was Baird. He was capable of taking over Swanston in such a short time. Before Baird could speak, Abbott on the other side of the phone said, "She trusts you very much. Have you ever thought about the consequences?" "If she really knows, the consequences will be immeasurable!" "What is that?" Abbott asked. What was that? At this moment, in the dim space, the man's eyes showed unprecedented pain. What... was that!? The images in his heart collided with each other. Half an hour later. Even Abbott, who was on the other side of the phone, could no longer calm down. "What you said is true. The child is..." Abbott couldn't finish his words, and his breath was trembling. Baird: "The matter of the child is basically confirmed now. As for other things, we are still digging deeper." They peeled it off layer by layer. When the matter of the child was in front of them, they were shocked enough. If they dug so deeply, even they... might not be able to accept it, let alone Rita? She had been hurt enough, and her heart had long been broken. Baird was really afraid that she would not be able to bear it. Abbott said, "Your side is like a quagmire!" At this moment, Abbott couldn't help but shiver when he heard this result. He had seen many complicated things, but the Wallis family looked calm on the surface, but no one had an idea what it was inside. He couldn't help but cursed. Baird. "So, do you still want to check?" Go on? When this question came out, Abbott on the other side of the phone couldn't help but gasp. Instead of answering Baird's question directly, he asked sharply, "Do you think Rita can be with you now?" "..." "Are you sure you can protect her and her child now?" Baird. "..." He had always wanted to protect Rita the most. When he had known that she had been hurt that year, he had once felt guilty and hated Nelson to death!! It seemed that he and Nelson were just the ones who had been tricked. Once upon a time, as long as something related to Rita, Baird, who always had a firm answer, was silent at this moment. "According to what you said, it has probably started from the generation of Older Mater Wallis!" The discussion lasted for half an hour! Abbott's analysis was very clear. The Wallis family had a long history, and the previous patriarchs had naturally planted a lot of bad results when they were young. It was no wonder that Greg had always made Rita stay in the Wallis family, and even married Nelson in the end. In fact, this was a kind of... protection for her, wasn't it? It was just that their efforts were in vain. "I have missed her for many years. Now, when the root is slowly emerging, I can't believe it, understand?" That's right. No matter who it was, the current Baird couldn't rest assured, let alone trust anyone, even if that person... was Abbott. Abbott fell silent. He understood Baird's feelings for Rita over the years. But now, although he had seen the general origin of this matter, the root cause was complicated, and what he saw might not be true. He had once listened to the grandfather! He also listened to Rita's parents and grandma, thinking that as long as he left Rita, he would really do her good and help her live a stable life for the rest of her life. But he was wrong. After that incident, Baird was no longer willing to hand her over to anyone. On her matter, he was not willing to listen to anyone. Moreover, right now, Ricki was..! At the thought of Ricki, the moment Baird opened his eyes, they became even more clear and firm. "If I let go of her, it will only bring her greater turmoil. Then, no matter what difficulties or obstacles she faces, she can only be by my side!" After that, before Abbott could say anything, Baird hung up the phone directly. On the other side of the phone, Abbott heard the beeping sound from the phone and thought of what Baird had said before he hung up. At that moment, he understood! After experiencing so many turbulent moments of life and death, this was a kind of protection that Baird had for Rita. With her by his side, he would certainly handle things in the most peaceful way. Kailynn came in. "Sir." "What's the matter?" He looked sharply at Kailynn. Kailynn: "Miss Renee is here." After saying this, Kailynn clearly sensed that Abbott's aura had instantly become icy-cold at this moment. "Tell her to get lost!" Abbott lit a cigarette and spat out two words coldly. Kailynn was stunned. Then Kailynn nodded and said, "Yes." When Kailynn went down and Abbott was alone, the blue veins on the man's forehead stood out. Obviously, he was trying his best to endure something.
