Soon, Zachary Irwin recalled Gilbert Martinez’s lips and understood what he said.
He said, “The videos are fake.”
The videos were fake, and Jane, indeed, might be alive?
Zachary Irwin was so irritated that he turned over the video Gilbert Martinez had sent him with shaking hands and then took it as fast as he could to identify it.
All afternoon, Zachary Irwin did not do anything, even he mentioned in the conference before, as soon as the signing of Martinez Enterprises bankruptcy also put down the matter.
“Mr. Irwin, according to our appraisal, this video was indeed edited by someone! Only, the other party has edited it very finely, and the general public will not easily find the mistakes and omissions in it.”
Zachary Irwin got the definite answer and he calmed down.
He recalled things all over again and found that he had been led by Gilbert Martinez ever since Jane Gardner disappeared, he said Jane Gardner was dead, he was influenced by him, he came up with this video and proved that the female corpse was Jane Gardner, he put his doubts to rest and believed it.
Now, he has just acquired Martinez Enterprises and Gilbert Martinez tells him that the video is fake and Jane Gardner is most likely still alive. He knows that Gilbert Martinez definitely has another trick up his sleeve, but he absolutely cannot continue to be led by him.
Zachary Irwin was on his way back to The Shine, with all the extreme emotions he had previously felt, already sorted out.
“President Irwin, the bankruptcy filing against Martinez Enterprises, should we still proceed?” In the evening, Zachary Irwin had just picked up Steven Irwin when Andy Winters’ call came through.
“Go ahead, and, no matter what changes happen behind the scenes, this decision will not change.” Zachary Irwin sunk his eyes, he hugged Steven Irwin and kept walking.
The brain, too, kept running along with it.
Zachary Irwin walked, suddenly looked at Steven Irwin, the pace stalled, he thought of something.
The next day.
Zachary Irwin announced to the public that the birth banquet of Steven Irwin would be held in a week’s time, as long as the Irwin’s friends, The Shine’s friends, could come to the Four Seasons Hotel in Dragon City to attend the banquet.
Once he made this announcement, the whole Dragon City boiled up.
Those who are related and those who are not, all want to have a glimpse of The Irwin’s sole heir, Steven Irwin.
“Zachary Irwin, if I can give you what you want most, are you still sure you want to file for Martinez Enterprises’ bankruptcy in court?” Zachary Irwin had just put the news out when Gilbert Martinez’s phone call came unsolicited.
“I don’t even know what I want most, you know?” Zachary Irwin was not at all surprised by Gilbert Martinez’s call.
“As long as you stop filing bankruptcy right now, in a week I can bring the person you want to see most to your son’s birth party, and I promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you see that person.” Gilbert Martinez continued.
“…” Zachary Irwin, who knew the person Gilbert Martinez was talking about was Jane Gardner, tugged his fist tight and tried to sound as normal as possible, “I Why should I believe you?”
“On the basis that Jane Gardner is alive, and that I had her in my hands the whole time.” Gilbert Martinez had been killing Zachary Irwin for over two months, and now it was time to take the next step in his plan.
As he spoke, silence fell on Zachary Irwin’s side.
“Zachary Irwin, those videos were fake, Jane Gardner was secretly transferred by me after I sent her to the funeral home. The reason why I asked Shan York to go over and sign for the cremation was also so that you could check for the wrong person. I believe you should have gone through those ashes, and yes, the ashes were tampered with by me, and there was not a single bone in them that could extract Jane Gardner’s DNA.”
Gilbert Martinez saw that Zachary Irwin did not speak, he continued.
He was overwhelmed by the thought that he could play Zachary Irwin for a fool.
“You did all that, one, to pay me back in kind, to give me a taste of losing my most beloved, and two, to deliberately lure me into acquiring Martinez Enterprises so you could hold the Irwin back financially and take the opportunity to crush the Irwin!” Zachary Irwin figured out Zachary Irwin figured it out.
He finally knew why Gilbert Martinez did not stop him from acquiring Martinez Enterprises because he had Jane Gardner in his hand, and he was sure that he would become his puppet because Jane Gardner was under his control.
“Well, good, it seems that for the past two months or so, the unhinged Zachary Irwin is a thing of the past.” Gilbert Martinez doesn’t deny it, he laughs out loud, “I have to say, this feeling of being in control, crying when I want you to cry and laughing when I want you to laugh, is really cool and relieving enough!”
“Okay, as long as you give Jane back to me, I’ll be your puppet, and I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” Zachary Irwin hooked his lips and sneered, but the words, however, were all about compromising Gilbert Martinez.
“Zachary Irwin, you did not expect it, did not expect me Gilbert Martinez this move layout so far! Now, I want you to stop the bankruptcy filing against Martinez Enterprises immediately! I don’t want to see any of The Shine’s bodyguards around me before your son’s birth party!”
“Good!” Zachary Irwin hung up the phone, however, he didn’t call Andy Winters, he just had Rudolf Bartley released.
“Your mother, all this time, has been in the nursing home I arranged, if you really still remember how good the young lady and I have been to you, you should know what to do when you return to Gilbert Martinez!” Zachary Irwin turned to Rudolf Bartley, his eyes dark and deep.
“I do not understand your meaning …” Rudolf Bartley this time, has been in The Shine’s darkroom, he thought, Zachary Irwin will hand him over to the police, did not expect to suddenly release him today.
“Exactly what is going on, you go back, Gilbert Martinez will tell you.” Zachary Irwin didn’t say much, he waved Rudolf Bartley could go.
One week later.
Four Seasons Hotel in Dragon City.
“Young master, the young lady turned out not to be dead, we will come to your place today, you arrange it, I will give you the young lady absolutely intact!” Rudolf Bartley took the time to dial over a phone call to Zachary Irwin, his voice was full of excitement.
He really didn’t expect that Jane Gardner was not dead.
If Gilbert Martinez hadn’t asked him to escort them to the Four Seasons only today, he would have been kept in the dark.
He thought about what Zachary Irwin had said before he let him go, and that’s when he understood what he meant by his words.
“Good! You act carefully and never let Gilbert Martinez know what’s on your mind.” Zachary Irwin’s voice was excited, but the tone of his voice was lowered, trying to look normal and calm.
But whether he was calm or not, only he knew.
It’s been three months! It had been three months since he finally got to see Jane Gardner again!
Zachary Irwin smiled the happiest smile in three months when he thought of the family reunion.
Steven Irwin birth party went very well. In this glorious hotel, Steven Irwin was a prince and was embraced by everyone.
All the guests were saying compliments and kind words until Gilbert Martinez walked into the hall with Jane Gardner on his arm, and everyone in the hall fell silent as they looked over at Jane Gardner with incredulous eyes.
Jane Gardner has kept her figure well since the birth of her child, and her skin is rosy and healthy.
She was wearing a lake blue dress, her long hair was curled up and pinned to the back of her head, leaving only two slightly curled bangs on either side of her face, and she gently curled her lips as she walked in.
