“What are you doing here?” Jane Gardner saw Troy Smith and her first reaction was to head out.
But Troy Smith was ready for her and dragged her in before she did.
And unlocked the door.
“My dad is the director and I’m his son, so naturally I can come in if I want to.” Troy Smith has been watching that video for the past few days, and the more he watches it, the more he finds himself pining for Jane Gardner.
“I’ve missed you so much since we’re not done with the last one. jane, just this once, you give it to me, and Zachary Irwin won’t know about it anyway.”
“He’s not here, but his assistant is coming over later. Do you want the consequences for doing this to me?” Jane Gardner listened to Troy Smith call her name with a wave of nausea.
Her hand, too, fumbled quietly into her handbag.
“Consequences? What consequences could there be? My father is afraid of Zachary Irwin, but I’m not!” Troy Smith laughed disdainfully and lifted Jane Gardner’s delicate face, his eyes astonished, “I’ve had countless women, but you’re the only one I can’t get out of my head, and it’s your honor.”
“But I don’t want that honor at all!” Jane Gardner pulled out her dagger and pressed it against Troy Smith’s chest.
Troy Smith looked down at the cold glow of the dagger and pressed Jane Gardner’s wrist.
“You know what I’ve been doing at home the last few days? I’ve been at home practicing the way to subdue you! You think you can use the same method a second time!”
Troy Smith smoothly clasped Jane Gardner’s hand and brought the dagger to her own neck.
A wicked smile.
Jane Gardner was shocked, but it was too late to resist again.
“Let go of me! I’m already late, and if I don’t get out, your father will send someone to find me! And then everyone will know what you’ve done!”
“Who doesn’t know what I am like? Half of the women on the crew alone have slept with me.” Seeing that he had Jane Gardner under control, Troy Smith moved his lips toward her.
Thinking about the touch her hands gave him.
He picked up Jane Gardner’s hands …
“BOOM!”
The door was kicked open.
“Ah!”
Troy Smith’s wrist was wrenched.
The dagger against Jane Gardner’s neck also fell to the ground.
Jane Gardner looked at Andy Winters, who had instantly subdued Troy Smith, and her eyes were amazed.
“Young lady, you go ahead and shoot, leave him to me!” Andy Winters took off his glasses, the whole person also followed the general change.
No longer like before so soft and weak.
Instead, he was full of masculinity.
“Good. You must not let him go easily!” Jane Gardner glanced at Troy Smith with hatred.
She wanted to punish him severely, but there was nothing she could do.
After Jane Gardner left, Andy Winters dialed Zachary Irwin’s phone and told him what had happened today.
“Since he likes women so much, send him to the duck store! Don’t let him out again without my order!” Zachary Irwin’s gloomy voice, hating to destroy Troy Smith outright.
“Yes.” Andy Winters also thought of ways to punish Troy Smith, but compared with Zachary Irwin, ashamed of himself.
“You have no evidence, what can you do to me! I advise you, or let me go!” Troy Smith relied on Ziv Smith to do all the bad things, but also know some of the law, know that their actions did not commit substantial harm to Jane Gardner.
Not to mention the prosecution of him, even if the detention of ten days, there is no evidence.
So very pleased with himself.
Andy Winters looked at Troy Smith sympathetically, his eyes cold.
Jane Gardner this day, not very smooth.
But at least it is finished shooting.
She just came out, ready to find Andy Winters, Zachary Irwin stood pensively in front of her.
“Doesn’t your white moonlight have a tummy ache? Why don’t you go keep her company? Or, are you coming after me?” Jane Gardner looked at Zachary Irwin and guessed his purpose for coming over.
Sarcasm curled her lips.
But as soon as the words were out of her mouth.
She regretted it.
Wasn’t she going to be a little sheep in front of him, so why was she confronting him again?
“It seems that nothing is wrong with you at all.” Zachary Irwin, unhappy that Jane Gardner was always covered in thorns, sized her up to make sure she really wasn’t being bullied by Troy Smith.
The anger he’d been holding all day dissipated a bit.
“Thanks to you, I got Andy Winters as my assistant, a man of both arts and letters, or I might have been in trouble today.” Jane Gardner laughed at herself, really worried about her future.
The showbiz waters are too muddy.
She had to protect herself, and it didn’t seem as easy as she thought.
After that, Jane Gardner got into Zachary Irwin’s car.
It didn’t matter how he was able to get in and out of the shoot as he pleased, he disappeared with him into plain sight.
Luckily, the car windows are all taped, otherwise, she was seen with Zachary Irwin again.
She couldn’t explain it with a hundred mouths.
Zachary Irwin left Ivel Day behind and came to intercept her to take her to see the photo of Lily Benz.
Jane Gardner sat alone on the single sofa, looking at the photo, touching Lily Benz’s face with her fingertips, and feeling mixed emotions.
She couldn’t understand why, exactly, Lily Benz would ignore her.
She had given birth to her in October, and she had carried herself for a year.
Could it be that she really didn’t love her at all?
Jane Gardner didn’t want to deny that even though Lily Benz might not love her, she did love her.
She told herself that she was looking for Lily Benz in order to get an explanation.
But what about the fact that …
She was trying to draw warmth from her because she was lacking love.
Otherwise, she really doesn’t know how to live.
“This photo was taken by chance when the Hollings were traveling in Holland five years ago, and at first they didn’t notice Lily Benz on the street, it was someone who came to their house later and accidentally recognized her as Rannie Pope, who had disappeared for more than twenty years.
It was only when someone recognized her that the Hollins treasured the photo.
After all, it was the only one in over twenty years that proved Rannie Pope, aka Lily Benz, was still alive.”
Zachary Irwin, after seeing Jane Gardner’s sight and communicating with Holling, rose his lips lightly and explained to Jane Gardner.
“Can you give me the exact address of this photo?” Jane Gardner to Huo Lin, finished in Chinese, Tiji’s look to Zachary Irwin.
Hope he can translate for himself.
Zachary Irwin searingly stared at Jane Gardner.
Jane Gardner bit her lower lip lightly, “Please.”
Zachary Irwin made sure Jane Gardner really wanted the address, turned his head, and translated her words to Holling.
Holling also readily wrote the address on a slip of paper and gave it to Jane Gardner.
With the address in hand, Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin bid farewell to Hollyn.
In the car on the way back.
Jane Gardner clutched the photo and the address and fell into her own world.
Zachary Irwin was ignored and was a little upset.
“Troy Smith will not appear in front of you in the future.” Zachary Irwin said.
“Hmm.” Jane Gardner returned, thinking that Zachary Irwin had finally helped himself, and she should do her duty as a proper wife and care about his children, “Is Ivel Day okay, how are your children?”
Jane Gardner didn’t mention it, but she did.
Zachary Irwin “brushed” the driver to pull the car to the side of the road.
“My baby?” He felt so pathetic.
He had kept it a secret from her, not wanting her to know Ivel Day was pregnant.
Just afraid that she might be sad.
But now, looking at her expressionless, unruffled, talking openly about the baby, Zachary Irwin felt downright self-conscious.
“Jane Gardner, as my wife, you should be pregnant, you know!”
He and Ivel Day, it was an accident, not out of his intention.
Besides, if the baby was his or not, we would soon find out!
“Yes, it was your wife who should have been pregnant, but in your eyes, didn’t you never think of me as your wife?” Jane Gardner couldn’t understand what Zachary Irwin was so angry about at the moment.
She clearly remembered that he had forbidden her to call herself his wife.
He had never recognized her as the young lady of the Irwin family.
