Jane Gardner tweeted Selena Lott as she chased her out.
Shan York was running early, but she was old after all, and running with one in her arms.
So, soon, Jane Gardner caught up with her.
“You really won’t leave me alone?” Shan York saw Jane Gardner catching up, she glanced at the van not far away, faced the aggressive Jane Gardner, and tightened her arms around Snowly Gardner.
“Let her go! What the hell are you trying to do?” Jane Gardner translated the words on her phone into a voice over as she stared dead at Shan York.
“What do I want to do? I want to sell her to pay my debts! Do you know how I got here? Do you know how much money I owe those people now? These five years, my son ignored me, no matter how much I tried to find him, he stopped seeing me, my daughter never cared about me, when she showed up, she threw me a towel and ran off on her own.
I gave birth to them, but what did they do to me? I can’t even feed myself, how am I supposed to feed this drag queen! Since her mother and father don’t want her, I don’t want her either, and without her, Mary might be able to marry again.”
Shan York did not admit that she had failed as a mother and caused her own children to hate her and avoid her.
She blames everything on Jane Gardner, “It’s all your fault! If it wasn’t for you, how could Otis and I have turned against each other? If it wasn’t for you, how could Mary have left the country to have a baby?” Jane Gardner, it was all your fault, and you are responsible for the way I am today!
Jane Gardner was not surprised by Shan York’s words, “How much money do you owe?”
“You want to pay my debts? But you’re not what you used to be, what money do you have to help me?” Shan York glared hard at Jane Gardner, “Don’t you come any closer, if you come any closer, I’ll throw her out!”
Jane Gardner saw that Shan York was really going to throw Snowly Gardner out into the fast-moving traffic, and she hastily stopped her pace.
Shan York saw Jane Gardner listen to herself, she shouted, and following that, the van that had been parked in the distance drove straight towards her.
Jane Gardner saw Shan York holding Snowly Gardner and was about to get into the car, she rushed forward as fast as she could.
She grabbed Snowly Gardner, hugged her, and the two of them rolled to the curb together.
Jane Gardner felt a tingling sensation in many places as her body hit the ground and her skin rubbed against the ground.
She hurriedly looked down to check on Snowly Gardner and saw her crying with grief, looking at herself in a pitiful and helpless manner.
Jane Gardner tried to ask if she was all right, but before she could get up, she was being held up by both arms.
“Come on, someone’s coming!” In her ear, Shan York’s panicked and anxious voice.
Jane Gardner had no strength in her body, and she let them drag her into the car, watching Snowly Gardner outside the car as they got a little farther apart.
“Pop!” Shan York saw the car drive steadily out, and as she pulled Jane Gardner over, she raised her hand and slapped her.
Jane Gardner was unable to resist, her head was spinning.
“Jane Gardner, remember, you brought this on yourself, and you can’t blame me!” Shan York finished, and she explained the matter to her accomplice.
Jane Gardner listened to their conversation, then realized that Shan York was going to sell Snowly Gardner to the poor countryside.
Now that Snowly Gardner had run away, she was going to let herself take her place.
Jane Gardner knew that if she did get to those so-called mountain villages, she would most likely never escape again, and she braced herself with all her strength as she tried to go on the run.
But Shan York had been prepared for this, and she had her people control her and forbid her to make any movements.
The car took side roads all the way and eventually got out of town.
Jane Gardner watched the dawn to darkness and listened to her ears grow colder as her mind grew more panicked.
“You have Elena Gonzalez’s card, but you don’t know her pin number, so put me down and I can take you to get the money.” Jane Gardner thought for half a second, and she came up with a reprieve.
“Password? Jane Gardner, I advise you to stop tossing and turning, no matter what you come up with, I’m not going to believe you.”
Shan York sneered, why hadn’t she thought of this great idea earlier?
Wouldn’t it make her happier to sell Jane Gardner and let her spend the rest of her life giving birth to someone else’s children and doing housework in a small place without seeing the light of day, than to destroy her?
Shan York watched the car go out more and more, her heart more and more satisfied.
Meanwhile.
Over in Laguna City.
Elena Gonzalez comes home to find the family jewels and Jane Gardner missing, and her first thought is that Jane Gardner has absconded with the money.
Beck Moore doesn’t believe Jane Gardner would do something like that, and Elena Gonzalez chooses to call the police in order to get him to give up on Jane Gardner.
Snowly Gardner remembered Beck Moore’s home and she called him to tell him about Jane Gardner’s capture by Shan York.
Beck Moore hastened to arrange for someone to rescue Jane Gardner, but it was too late.
Selena Lott only received a tweet from Jane Gardner, but she could not contact her afterwards.
Zachary Irwin went after Beck Moore’s house and learned the whole thing, and he sent someone to find it.
“Beck Moore, if anything happens to her! I’ll hold you accountable!” Zachary Irwin was furious when he heard that the search party couldn’t find Jane Gardner, and he grabbed Beck Moore by the collar and snapped.
“Has President Irwin forgotten that your current girlfriend is Alice Cox?”
“Even if Jane Gardner isn’t my girlfriend, she’s the mother of my child, and that’s not going to change anything!” Zachary Irwin sneered as he thought about how Steven Irwin would have run out of his way to find Jane Gardner if he knew something had happened to her.
He then worried even more about Jane Gardner.
She had abused him a thousand times, and he still couldn’t be bothered to leave her completely alone.
He didn’t even know how many times he had broken his promise, and how many times he had picked up a stone and smashed his own feet.
“President Irwin, Mr. Moore, according to our roadside surveillance, we are basically sure that they left the city and went all the way towards a remote place, if we can’t stop them in the shortest time, we will have a hard time finding them.”
The police officer confronted Zachary Irwin and Beck Moore, who spelled out their findings.
After Zachary Irwin heard that, he called Dragon City’s search team again and asked to focus on lining up remote villages.
But the result was still, no news.
“If the countryside they went to is lushly vegetated, it would be hard to spot them even if we had satellites, let alone if we didn’t already.” Beck Moore sank his brow, regretting why he’d left home.
Why he hadn’t stayed by her side.
“Boom!” Zachary Irwin slammed his fist into the wall, he regretted it too, he regretted why he had let go of her hand, regretted why he hadn’t forced her to be chained to him!
Whether she hated and loathed herself or not, he should have been as he was then!
“I might know where Grandma would have sent my aunt?” Just when everyone was at a loss, Snowly Gardner spoke timidly.
