Jane Gardner looked at Zachary Irwin like a ghost, not knowing what he was selling in his gourd.
If she had known that Gilbert Martinez could not hurt her, she would never have gone crazy and said those words.
Now that the words have been said, she wants to regret them, but there is no place to do so.
After that, they returned to Dragon City, Codie Wei took Selena LottJohn Lott back to the Jiang family, Zachary Irwin took Jane Gardner back to The Shine.
Originally, Jane Gardner is resistant to divorce, but also continue to live in The Shine, but Gilbert Martinez has certainly been watching her, she lost Rudolf Bartley protection, and continue to live alone outside, indeed too dangerous.
So she gritted her teeth and went back with Zachary Irwin.
Ottilia Amos was in a good mood when she saw Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin standing together, holding hands, and she sent the butler to prepare a banquet.
The whole long table was filled with delicacies of all kinds.
Jane Gardner had always eaten in her own courtyard before, but this was the first time she and Ottilia Amos had eaten together in the main hall.
“Zachary, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give Jane a dish!” Ottilia Amos was in a good mood, and the old folds on her face were raised, “Jane, I have to blame Grandma for this accident, because she was not aware that Rudolf Bartley was a member of the Martinez family.”
Jane Gardner was on her way back to The Shine with Zachary Irwin when she learned that Gilbert Martinez and Zachary Irwin had some kind of deep-seated grudge.
Five years ago, in Dragon City, the Irwin Group and Martinez Enterprises were tied for the top two companies, except that after Zachary Irwin graduated, he joined the Irwin Group, took the Irwin Group to adjust its strategy and took over Martinez Martinez Enterprises lost a lot of money.
The head of the Martinez family was so angry that he vomited blood overnight, and he passed away within a day after being sent to the hospital.
From that day on, the Irwin Group and Martinez Enterprises fell out completely.
After Gilbert Martinez took over Martinez Enterprises, he did not continue to fight with the Irwin Group head-on, but calmly transferred the major projects of Martinez Enterprises to Barstow City.
For five years, the people of Dragon City gradually forgot about Martinez Enterprises, but to their surprise, five years later, after Martinez Enterprises had transformed into the richest man in Barstow City, Gilbert Martinez began to take revenge on the Irwin Group.
“The Martinez family used to live in Dragon City for decades, so it’s normal to keep them now. It’s just that our family has an axe to grind with them, and I reckon that he’s been lying dormant for five years and is only now starting to make his move, so he should be well prepared.” Zachary Irwin thought of the image of seeing Gilbert Martinez again, and knew that, compared to the Martinez family senior before, Gilbert Martinez is more difficult to deal with.
Ottilia Amos also knows what Zachary Irwin said, she heaved a sigh, and then looked up to Jane Gardner, “Jane, before, Zachary and Gilbert Martinez a little misunderstanding, he has always thought that Zachary killed the woman he loved. So this time he came back, will not let you go.
I don’t care if you still want to keep your distance from Zachary, but in the next two months, you can’t go out of The Shine alone. even if it’s in The Shine, you must have someone around you at all times to protect you.”
“Okay, Grandma, I understand.” Jane Gardner, now that she had come over with Zachary Irwin, was prepared that she would not leave until the baby was born.
“Good girl, you are late in your pregnancy, the baby is developing well, but eat more. zachary, do I have to say it again, give Jane a dish!” Ottilia Amos pointed to a nutritious dish and asked the housekeeper to bring it to Jane Gardner, and Zachary Irwin to serve it.
At the end of the meal, Jane Gardner gained two pounds.
After dinner, Zachary Irwin sent Jane Gardner back to rest, halfway, Alice Cox’s phone kept ringing.
Zachary Irwin didn’t answer any of them, and later, he simply turned off the phone.
“Why didn’t you pick up? Aren’t you afraid she’ll be mad at you?” Jane Gardner saw that it was Alice Cox calling, and she didn’t want to say anything, but she couldn’t resist.
Zachary Irwin heard the acidity in Jane Gardner’s words, he stopped and cupped Jane Gardner’s chin, “Why do you smell so much vinegar? It’s not good for my kid to eat too much acid. Here, I’ll give him something sweet.”
Zachary Irwin said, leaned down and kissed Jane Gardner on the lips.
Jane Gardner didn’t react, and when she did, she tried to push him away.
Zachary Irwin whispered in a husky voice, “Don’t move! If you move, I might not be able to hold back!”
Jane Gardner stepped back and looked underneath Zachary Irwin, she covered her mouth and turned to walk away quickly.
Zachary Irwin saw Jane Gardner’s back as she trotted away, and he let out a low curse of damnation before following at a hard pace.
When he arrived at the courtyard where he lived before, Jane Gardner couldn’t hold back her laughter and couldn’t hold her back.
Zachary Irwin rushed over and saw Jane Gardner laughing, he gave a sly look and threw it over, “Jane Gardner, are you sure you want to laugh again?”
Jane Gardner received a warning look from Zachary Irwin, so she stood up straight, but her face was still strained with laughter.
Zachary Irwin poured Jane Gardner a glass of water and drank a glass of water himself, but when he sat down, he found that the place where he should go down still did not go down, he went forward to take Jane Gardner and put her on his lap to sit.
Jane Gardner instantly put away all the smiles and did not dare to laugh again.
This night, Zachary Irwin volunteered to sleep in the upstairs room, while Jane Gardner was downstairs.
“Sister Jane, is Zachary with you? I really have something to ask him, please can you give him your cell phone for me?” Jane Gardner had just gotten into bed and was ready to go to sleep when Alice Cox’s call came in.
“I’m resting, if you need anything, you can find him yourself tomorrow.” Jane Gardner listened to Alice Cox’s lovely voice, looked at the home where the lights had been turned off, and decided not to help her.
She owed Alice Cox nothing and had no obligation or duty to help!
The next morning.
Jane Gardner was still sleeping when Zachary Irwin pushed in the door, he choked Jane Gardner’s wrist, “Did Alice Cox call you last night?”
Jane Gardner heard Alice Cox on Zachary Irwin’s lips, and her sleepiness was gone, “Yes, I did.”
“Why didn’t you call me!” Zachary Irwin let go of Jane Gardner, turned around and left.
Jane Gardner watched his back as he left, and had a mixed feeling.
He had said that he wanted her to teach him how to love her, how to give her his heart, and that, little did he know, she took it seriously.
“Wait a minute!” Just as Zachary Irwin was about to walk out the door, Jane Gardner stepped out of bed and confronted him, “What’s going on? If it’s about me, I need to know.”
“Alice Cox was robbed last night and she’s still in the hospital, she gave me to call you to save her.” Zachary Irwin had never wanted to be with Alice Cox, but he had to admit that he had used her.
He had also given Alice Cox fantasies.
So he was guilty for what had happened last night.
“I’ll go with you, I’m at fault for this anyhow.” Jane Gardner always felt a little strange, last night Alice Cox sounded normal and her breath was smooth, not at all like she was injured or robbed.
“Did you forget Gilbert Martinez is still watching from the shadows? You don’t go to the hospital!” Zachary Irwin finished and turned to leave on his own.
Throughout the morning, Zachary Irwin did not return, Jane Gardner’s heart kept lifting.
“Jane Gardner, you are divorced from President Irwin, can you please leave him alone! Do you know that because of your caution, our Alice almost died last night!” Kailee Cyrus’ voice came through, and instead of blaming herself, her words were all condemnation of Jane Gardner.
“I didn’t have her robbed, so it’s not my responsibility what happens to her! It’s you, Kailee Cyrus, what have you done to yourself that you don’t know? Take my advice, Alice Cox is not a good climbing partner, if you do not want to put yourself on the line, you better leave her early!” Jane Gardner said in a cold voice.
“If you had given the phone to President Irwin, Alice would have been saved and would not have been hurt like that! But, thanks to you, if you hadn’t harmed Alice, President Irwin would have come to take care of Alice and given her more and better resources.
Wait for it, when your child is born, our Alice will definitely jump to the ranks of first-line actresses, and you, huh! I’m afraid you won’t even be worthy of her shoes by then!” After Kailee Cyrus proudly showed off, she sent Jane Gardner two photos of Zachary Irwin taking care of Alice Cox in her hospital room, as she had done in the past.
Jane Gardner looked at the photos, Zachary Irwin for Alice Cox drink water eye movements, heart sank to the bottom.
