“You already have a fiancée, you will have a wife in the future, and for the next five years, this restaurant, this seat, you’d better cancel it.” Jane Gardner knew she was bound to be angry with Zachary Irwin for saying that, but she had to say it.
Even if she was slow, she could see that Zachary Irwin had his heart set on her.
She can’t indulge him to fall deeper and deeper.
Zachary Irwin saw Jane Gardner’s words, he pulled back the seat, carried away Steven Irwin and turned to leave.
“Mommy, this time, I’m not going to help you either, you’ve really let us down too much.” Steven Irwin lay on Zachary Irwin’s shoulder as he looked over at Jane Gardner, understanding for the first time Zachary Irwin’s powerlessness and pain.
Jane Gardner watched Zachary Irwin and Steven Irwin’s backs disappear from view as she slumped over the table, her shoulders sobbing.
She can’t hold out any longer, and if she doesn’t make it clear, she wants to run into Zachary Irwin’s arms and make up with him right now.
Zachary Irwin was so good to her that she took it to heart, thinking that, with his engagement, she would be dead to him.
But she was proven wrong.
She doesn’t see him, she can still get through it, but once she sees him, once she hears how good he is to her, she is routed.
After Zachary Irwin and Steven Irwin left, the restaurant owner served a cake as requested in previous years.
Jane Gardner looked at the inscription on the cake and tears blurred her eyes.
She ate the cake by herself frantically, and finally ate so much that she wanted to vomit, and only then did she run away from the restaurant.
Jane Gardner had just returned to her villa when a text message came from Max Lee with a picture, “Jane Gardner, guess what this is?”
Jane Gardner clicked on the picture, only to see that Max Lee sent over a bottle of sleeping pills.
She was unsure and texted back asking her what she meant.
Max Lee, however, gave her a sneer back.
This night, Jane Gardner slept badly, and her dreams were filled with images of Zachary Irwin and Steven Irwin leaving her.
“No! No!” Jane Gardner shouted silently as she woke up and saw that it was dawn and everything was a dream, and her nervous heart eased.
“Jane Gardner, I already ground up that bottle of sleeping pills last night and put it in Steven Irwin’s milk, and guess what, he woke up this morning?” Jane Gardner was about to go to the kitchen to make herself breakfast when Max Lee’s phone call came in.
Jane Gardner’s eerie voice was the first thing that came through.
Jane Gardner was not completely awake, but as soon as she heard her words, she had a jolt and immediately called Zachary Irwin to go check on Steven Irwin.
Make sure Max Lee is not serious.
But after what happened yesterday, Zachary Irwin is angry at the moment, he saw Jane Gardner’s phone call and hung up straight away.
No answer at all.
Jane Gardner couldn’t get through on the phone, and she rushed to The Shine while texting Zachary Irwin.
When she arrived at The Shine, Steven Irwin was indeed still asleep in his room.
And, no matter how much the maid and nanny call him, he can’t wake up.
“Where is your young master? Call him back quickly! And take the young master to the hospital right away!” Jane Gardner scanned the room and saw no sign of Zachary Irwin, so she picked up Steven Irwin and left.
None of the people at The Shine realized the danger Steven Irwin was in, they just assumed he was sleeping through the night.
At this moment, seeing Jane Gardner so nervous, it is realized that things are not simple.
Jane Gardner had just rushed Steven Irwin to the emergency room when Zachary Irwin arrived.
He had seen what Jane Gardner had told him in a tweet, and he told the doctor what Jane Gardner had said, and the doctor arranged for Steven Irwin to have his stomach pumped.
“What about him? I’ve told you that Max Lee is not a kind person and told you to guard against her, why don’t you listen?” Jane Gardner questioned Zachary Irwin, her eyes all scared.
She was afraid something would happen to Steven Irwin, her worst fear, after all.
“I never took Max Lee to The Shine from the beginning to the end, there was no way she had access to The Shine to drug Steven Irwin!” Zachary Irwin’s dark eyes also rolled with anger as he related everything that had happened since they returned to The Shine last night.
“Sleeping pills, she put down sleeping pills, Vivian Walker took sleeping pills at my mother’s wedding, did she avenge her mother?” Jane Gardner always found sleeping pills too familiar, and it took her a moment to remember.
“If it did, then it’s highly likely that the person who really drugged Steven Irwin was Ron Lee,” said Ron Lee, who hasn’t been seen since Jane Gardner returned to The Lee family.
He was so dark and ruthless that he couldn’t really let Jane Gardner go.
He must have been lying dormant somewhere, just waiting for the time to come so that he can strike and hurt someone.
Jane Gardner heard the words Ron Lee, and that’s when she remembered he existed.
Afterwards, Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin stayed at the hospital until the doctor confirmed that Steven Irwin was okay, and then they put their minds at ease.
After this experience, Jane Gardner refused to leave Steven Irwin again, and never left him, never let him out of her sight.
Zachary Irwin, on the other hand, went to Max Lee.
Max Lee denied everything that happened to Steven Irwin, not to mention that he knew that Steven Irwin had actually been fed sleeping pills.
Zachary Irwin looked at Max Lee and he grabbed her by the throat, “I advise you to tell the truth! Otherwise, you won’t blame me for being rude!”
“Zachary, I’m your fiancée, Steven Irwin is my son, I really didn’t hurt him, and besides, I don’t even know how The Shine got in now, so how could I hurt him? Don’t you believe Jane Gardner, she stole my dad and stole the favor that should have been mine, she is just jealous that you are marrying me, she is slandering me and destroying our relationship.”
It’s true that Max Lee didn’t feed Steven Irwin, she just knew that Ron Lee had bribed The Shine to take care of Steven Irwin’s underlings and she knew his plans.
She wasn’t going to tell Jane Gardner, but yesterday’s events were too infuriating.
She didn’t hold back for a moment, so she gleefully approached Jane Gardner.
She is not only spoiling Ron Lee’s plan, but also making herself suspected by Zachary Irwin.
She regrets it, and it’s too late.
Blame it on Jane Gardner!
“Our feelings? What feelings do we have? I never liked you from the beginning to the end. Originally, as long as you were peaceful and kind, I would have married you, but now, marriage is out of the question! I’ll give you one last chance to say it or not!”
Zachary Irwin had decided to marry Max Lee, but now, he’s given up on that plan.
Even if all the women in the world are extinct, even if Jane Gardner is impossible to be with him, he would rather be single than to attract wolves into his house and woe Steven Irwin.
Max Lee didn’t expect Zachary Irwin to have any feelings for her at all. Her self-esteem was bruised and it was hard for her to accept being withdrawn from her marriage so easily.
She had a fierce look in her eyes, “Zachary Irwin, don’t you dare to bully me! I didn’t do the drugs, so why are you spilling your anger on me? If you have proof that I know something, show it! And, this marriage, it’s already fixed, you just say back out, what do you take me for?”
“You take yourself for what you are, and I take you for what you are! Since you won’t talk, we have nothing to say!” When Zachary Irwin saw that Max Lee was dead set against her, he released her, wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust, and then threw it away before leaving.
Max Lee glared angrily at Zachary Irwin and clenched her fists as she watched his dislike for her.
She swore, this revenge, will be revenged!
