Watching Jane Gardner’s back leaving, Andy Winters came forward: “Sir, that person just checked out, it’s the judge teacher of the best singer competition.”
“What to do, you know very well.”
But only a few steps away, Ivel Day’s phone rang.
Zachary Irwin, thinking that he had already cold-called her for a week and that he shouldn’t make a scene this time, answered the phone.
“Zachary, I know this isn’t the time for us to meet, but it’s Grandma’s 80th birthday, can you bring me in? I won’t appear in front of Grandma, I just want to cherish the person you cherish and silently pray to her to live a long and healthy life.”
Ivel Day lowered her posture and her voice was soft.
After all, after two years with Zachary Irwin, more or less also feel his character of eating soft but not hard.
“I’ll let Andy Winters bring you in.” After all, the heart is soft, Zachary Irwin hung up the phone, to Andy Winters instructed a few.
Standing across the river at the water’s edge, looking at the looming The Shine, a cold smile appeared on Ivel Day’s lips.
Jane Gardner side, she held the gown in the room for half an hour.
But no matter how she covered, how to block, still can not block all the scars.
Frustrated, Jane Gardner changed out of the dress and decided to put back on her own clothes.
When Jane Gardner reappeared in the ballroom, the party had already begun.
Ottilia Amos was giving a speech, thanking all the family and friends who were there.
Then, her name was mentioned.
The lights, too, hit herself with Ottilia Amos’ words.
The butler frowned when she saw that Jane Gardner had not changed into her dress.
Ottilia Amos was indifferent, holding the microphone and introducing Jane Gardner while beckoning her to come up to the stage and stand beside her.
“Is she the Irwin family’s Mrs. Irwin, who has been married for three years but has never been seen in public?”
“Why is she dressed like this? This is only a few hundred dollars, she is really the Irwin family young lady?”
“Why do I think she looks familiar? It seems like I’ve seen her recently.”
The guests were talking.
Jane Gardner knew her dress was inappropriate, so she had to walk up to the stage with a stiff upper lip.
“Grandma, I wish you many years of happiness.”
“Zachary, you come too.” Ottilia Amos smiled and laughed at Zachary Irwin, who then came on stage and stood next to Ottilia Amos, left and right, with Jane Gardner.
However, the two couples did not match each other in any way.
Zachary Irwin is handsome and handsome, with a well ironed suit that makes him shine.
Jane Gardner, on the other hand, looks like a vegetarian, as if she was pulled out from the roadside at random.
Although the face is delicate, beautiful and young, but the dress is really not complimentary.
“The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Ottilia Amos said this in public, just to not give Zachary Irwin the back way to refuse.
“Okay, today is Grandma’s birthday, whatever it is, I will listen to Grandma.” Zachary Irwin said with a sideways glance at Jane Gardner.
“Fine, fine! Then let’s all disperse and have as much fun as we need to, don’t let me, an old man, interrupt everyone’s fun.”
Ottilia Amos, whose purpose was achieved, handed the microphone to the butler and waved off the stage.
Seeing this, Jane Gardner also helped Ottilia Amos to get off the stage.
But after two steps, her jacket was forcibly pulled off by one of the attendants.
He did it so cleverly and secretly that Jane Gardner wouldn’t have known he meant to do it if not for the glint in the corner of his eye.
“I’m sorry, young lady, I didn’t mean to do that!” The waiter pretended to be surprised and apologized loudly.
It drew the eyes of the crowd that had turned around back to the table.
At once, everyone saw clearly.
Jane Gardner’s arms under her jacket were covered with hideous bruises.
Each wound, although small, but dense, look at it horrible.
“Why are there so many scars on her body, it’s disgusting.”
“No wonder Mr. Irwin never brought her out all these years, so she is so ugly!”
“Take off the clothes is this look, even if the eyes are closed, there is no way to create a person ah, it seems that the old lady this great-grandson is not to hold.”
Most of them didn’t talk much because of Ottilia Amos’ face.
But the sound of women talking came through.
Ottilia Amos heard the sound and turned to Jane Gardner, and that’s when she saw that something was wrong with her.
So did Zachary Irwin, who looked at her arm in awe.
Remembering that the last time she was in Nag City, she didn’t have any bruises at all, that is, she had this bruise that she had after she left Nag City.
Moreover, ever since she came back from Nag City, she has been avoiding herself by all means, not allowing herself to touch her?
She’s been hiding something from herself?
Not wanting to know what she’d been through?
Taking off his jacket, Zachary Irwin stepped forward and wrapped Jane Gardner in his arms.
Then he scooped her up in his arms and glanced at the whisperers.
The whisperers shut up and avoided Zachary Irwin’s gaze.
“I’m sorry I ruined Grandma’s birthday party.”
Jane Gardner bowed her head and spoke in a whisper that was self-reproachful.
Zachary Irwin chilled, not saying anything, but the anger radiating from his body was obvious.
Jane Gardner knew she had embarrassed the Irwin family and had the good sense to keep her mouth shut and stop talking.
Zachary Irwin carried Jane Gardner all the way to his car, not noticing that behind them, Paul Gao, who had been kicked out, took out his cell phone with hatred and took several pictures in a row.
In the photo, Zachary Irwin is holding Jane Gardner in his arms.
And Jane Gardner nestled her head in his arms, the two looked in love and in love.
Bravo!
He said how to reject him, but it turns out he’s hooked up with someone else!
Ha! If you dare to mess with him, we’ll see about that!
Paul Gao left The Shine satisfied with the photos.
Zachary Irwin, on the other hand, kept a cold face after carrying Jane Gardner back to the car.
He didn’t say anything, and she didn’t mention the bruises.
But Jane Gardner does not know that Zachary Irwin is actually waiting, he is waiting for her to open up to him, if what she says is true, then he is willing to try to believe her once.
But Jane Gardner is already sure that no matter what she says, Zachary Irwin will not believe.
If she didn’t believe him, she would only be making a fool of herself if she did.
The two men had their own thoughts.
In the end, not a word was said until the car drove back to Maravilla.
Zachary Irwin held his tongue as he parked the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, he pulled Jane Gardner out of the passenger side.
Letting her fall to the ground and watching her frown in pain, Zachary Irwin felt that she was asking for it.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Staring at her with hatred, Zachary Irwin asked with a gloomy face.
“I’ve already said I’m sorry, Mr. Irwin, what more do you want to hear?” Jane Gardner stubbornly tilted her head up to meet him and stood up a little.
The skin on her hand was scraped and was now burning with pain.
But this pain is nothing compared to the more than 2, 000 knife cuts that have been made.
“You ruined your grandmother’s birthday party, disgraced the Irwin family, and you just want to get over it with a simple apology?” Zachary Irwin was so disgusted with the stubbornness in Jane Gardner’s eyes that he grabbed her slim neck, “Tell me, what happened to the wound on your hand? Who hurt you?”
“Not just on my hands, but all over my body, I have cuts, do you want to see them?”
Jane Gardner interrupted Zachary Irwin angrily, remembering the blank check he had signed, and her hatred for him was so strong that she was suffocating.
She pulled her shirt open, exposing to him all the bruises from the neck down and from the chest up.
“See, aren’t you happy now? Didn’t you always hate me and loathe me, and shouldn’t you be laughing when you see that I was so desperate and in so much pain?”
Zachary Irwin’s hand trembled, trying to touch her bruises.
But as he was about to reach over, he saw the mockery at the corner of her mouth.
Zachary Irwin withdrew his hand in one swift movement, and lifted her hard onto his shoulder.
Kicking open the door, he walked up to the second floor and threw her onto the bed in the bedroom.
The whole thing was done in one fluid motion.
Jane Gardner let Zachary Irwin fiercely remove her clothes and let him survey all her bruises.
She looked up at him and said, word for word, “You want to know how many scars I have all over my body? More than two thousand! And each one of them, although not by your hand, is like you cut it!”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
In front of his eyes, was the shocking image.
Zachary Irwin thought that two arms were bad enough.
But now he realized that he was wrong.
