“Shan York, what are you doing? Stop it!”
Jane Gardner had just found it when she saw a group of people, led by Shan York, digging the grave in front of her mother’s tombstone.
The ground was covered with fresh dirt that had been dug up.
“Lily Benz! Twenty-five years, I can finally settle the score with you! Even if you’re dead, you owe me more than you can repay!
You still don’t know that the reason you lost your voice in your prime was because I poisoned you!
Unfortunately, you are too indomitable, just a little bit of poison, you died just like that!
Hahaha, over the years, I have tried everything to find you, but Moses Gardner would not reveal, but today I finally know where you are hiding!
Back then, I knew Moses Gardner first, and I was the first to conceive his child, but for you, he not only broke off our engagement, but also abandoned us to marry you!
Do you know that on the day you got married, I swore that I would never forgive you in this life!
Since you killed my son, I will let you die in peace! You guys, pick her up for me!”
With these words, Shan York’s eyes were ruthless and he told his men to open the coffin.
“No!”
Jane Gardner heard Shan York’s order and ran over to try to stop it.
However, she was too far away and was a step too late.
“How, how is this?”
Shan York stared in horror at the opened coffin, staring dead at the empty tomb.
Could not believe that the person he had searched for and hated for twenty-five years was not here.
“Why? Why aren’t you here!”
“Mom, Mom …”
Jane Gardner pushed through the crowd and rushed over to see the coffin with only a rusted microphone and nothing else.
“Jane Gardner! Say, where is that bitch of a mother of yours! You tell me where she is!”
Shan York, her eyes red, her hair disheveled, her mind in a trance, grabbed Jane Gardner’s shoulders and demanded Lily Benz’s whereabouts.
Jane Gardner pushed Shan York away with all her strength and bent down to pick up the microphone, remembering what she had just heard.
“You said that you poisoned my mother to kill her? Then why is she not in my mother’s tombstone? And, what does this microphone mean?”
“What does it mean? It’s because of her voice, her heavenly voice, that Moses Gardner and those people fell in love with her and abandoned me!
Jane Gardner, do you know what it’s like to want to seek revenge and not even meet your enemy once?
All these years, Moses Gardner thought that giving me all that money would make me forget the pain I had felt? I was just playing along with him!
The longer he kept me from finding her, the more I hated her!”
Looking at Jane Gardner with hatred, Shan York pushed her messy hair behind her ear and gave a creepy smile.
“I thought her death was fishy back then, but now it seems she’s not dead at all, and she must be doing well somewhere all these years.
Wait, I will definitely reveal everything and let those who love her know what kind of person she really is!”
“Wh, what! My mother didn’t, didn’t die …”
Her body shook hard, Jane Gardner froze as she watched Shan York lead the people away, leaving only an empty grave between heaven and earth.
Jane Gardner stayed in the cemetery for a long time.
She did not leave until the janitor sent someone over to fill in the empty grave and organize it.
When she left, she clutched the rusty microphone.
In her mind, all she could think of were Shan York’s words.
She didn’t believe her mother was alive, but she didn’t believe she was alive either.
It was night when she returned to Maravilla in a daze.
“Sorry, I didn’t hit you!”
Jane Gardner was heading home when another boy at the intersection bumped into her.
Listening to the boy’s embarrassed apology, Jane Gardner hurriedly said she was fine.
“Jane Gardner, you’re Jane Gardner, right?”
Mars Zhou looked at Jane Gardner with delight, and his eyes were burning as he stared at her.
The eyes were full of amazement.
“You are?”
Jane Gardner saw the other party called out his name, then he did feel he looked a little familiar.
“I’m Mars Zhou! In high school, we were together for half a year!”
Mars Zhou took out his business card from his briefcase and slipped it into Jane Gardner’s hand, “Here’s my card, keep in touch. By the way, do you live here?”
“Yes, and you? You live here too?”
Jane Gardner asked with a bashful smile, having lost her friends since she got married.
“I can’t afford to live in such an expensive house, I’m here to see clients.”
Jane Gardner was about to say something else when a blinding high beam hit her.
She raised her hand to block the blinding light, but Mars Zhou had already taken the lead and thoughtfully shielded her with his briefcase.
“After all these years, I didn’t expect you to be even more beautiful than before.”
Mars Zhou enthusiastically complimented Jane Gardner without taking his eyes off her face for a moment.
“What? Can’t wait? You dare to look for a wild man in front of your home?”
Zachary Irwin lifted his leg out of the car and walked up to Jane Gardner’s side with a raised eyebrow.
He looked at Mars Zhou.
Mars Zhou was then conquered by Zachary Irwin’s aura and hurriedly took down his briefcase.
“Jane, you guys know each other, and this is?”
“Jane Gardner, if you want a divorce, just say so, I will sign it!”
Gritting his teeth and glaring at Jane Gardner, Zachary Irwin inside his mind, Jane remembered her just now that piercing smile.
She had never smiled so sweetly in front of him!
“Sorry, Mars Zhou, he’s my husband, I’m going home.”
Jane Gardner was inexplicably flustered by the fact that she had nothing to do with Mars Zhou.
After explaining to Mars Zhou, she hurriedly followed Zachary Irwin’s lead and walked home.
Zachary Irwin is not good-tempered, and when he got home, it was like a dark cloud was over his head, his face was so dark.
“I just met him at the door, he’s my high school …”
Hesitation half a day, Jane Gardner still decided to explain.
“I’m not interested in knowing about your business! I came back tonight, I came back to collect my stuff!”
Impatiently interrupting Jane Gardner, Zachary Irwin sat down on the couch.
His bony fingers tapped the couch one by one, his eyes fixed on the direction of the stairs.
There, Nanny Finn was collecting his things on the second floor.
He smiled to himself and swallowed the rest of his words.
Jane Gardner obviously did not want to do that, but she deliberately gambled and took out Mars Zhou’s business card.
“The first time I saw you, I thought you were coming back for dinner, and since you’re not eating, I’ll go find someone else to eat.”
After saying that, Jane Gardner really dialed Mars Zhou’s phone number.
“Jane Gardner, do you know that you are already a married woman! Asking another man out in front of me, you think I’m dead!”
Zachary Irwin was so angry that he strangled Jane Gardner’s hand holding the phone and slammed it out hard.
“What about Mr. Irwin? Didn’t he also hug another woman in front of me? Why is it that you can do so many things out of the ordinary and I can’t even have dinner with someone else?”
Jane Gardner’s eyes burned into Zachary Irwin’s face and gritted her teeth.
Yeah, on what basis?
Because she loves him, so she deserves to be bullied to death by him?
Zachary Irwin’s story, his mother’s story, all came to mind.
Jane Gardner wanted to laugh, but the tears fell first.
“My name is Zachary Irwin! Want to be fair? Yes, unless you can make me look up to you after you unplug the identity of Mrs. Mr. Irwin!”
Zachary Irwin let go of Jane Gardner, saw Nanny Finn carrying her things downstairs, and turned to leave.
Back in the car, Zachary Irwin, who seldom smoked, took one cigarette after another.
In his mind, all he could see was the image of Jane Gardner crying just now.
Damn it!
It’s obvious that she is a money-grubbing, snobbish, vain woman!
Why!
He almost kissed her!
Thinking about the touch of those lips, Zachary Irwin felt even more distracted.
He put out his cigarette, drove the car faster and quickly disappeared into Maravilla.
