Chapter 196
Drake eventually went to see Annie, but only after Jane asked.
Jane really couldn’t listen to Annie bickering outside, so she let Drake go and talk to her.
When Annie saw that Drake had appeared, she immediately trotted over and wanted to jump into Drake’s arms, but was stopped by the butler beside her with a wave of Drake’s hand.
“Ms. Warner, watch your step!” The housekeeper reminded me gently.
Annie’s gaze was disgruntled as she looked at the housekeeper with a ghostly gaze.
Where once she would have been stopped, now it was a luxury to even be near him.
“Drake!” Annie looked at Drake in a pitiful manner.
“Just say what you have.” Drake said it with a cold attitude.
“Drake, I was just worried about you and wanted to come and see you. I came to look for you yesterday, but none of them would let me in.” Annie once again spoke in a pitiful manner.
However, in response to her words, Drake’s attitude remained indifferent: “Then you can leave now that you’ve seen it.”
“Drake…” Looking at Drake’s cold attitude, Annie’s heart is very difficult, and I’m afraid she is hopelessly far from the position of Mrs. Warner.
But she has been at the side of Drake for so many years; it has long been a well–known thing, and now that Drake doesn’t want her, who else in the whole of Silverbourne is able to match Drake’s
stature and looks?
Even if they did, the other party shouldn’t want an abandoned woman like her.
Thinking about this, Annie still could only hold on to the big tree of Drake.
“Drake, this is the real estate certificate of Berlin that you transferred to my name; take it away. I told you, I won’t want any of your compensation.”
Hearing this, Drake was slightly surprised, not expecting Annie to return the real estate license to her.
Previously, he had promised to give her five hundred million dollars in compensation, but because of her restlessness, he put it on hold, and now that she took the initiative to mention it, it was only then that Drake remembered.
“Something you take back, consider it a gift from me to you.” Drake had no intention of taking back the real estate license.
Annie, however, knew that Drake was trying to make up for the deficit in such a way that he didn’t feel so bad in his own heart.
When she came here, her mother had already explained that she absolutely could not let Drake make up for this deficit.
Afterwards, Annie turned to a teary–eyed look and said, “Drake, I told you, you cannot love me, but you cannot use money to insult my love for you.”
“Those bone–deep pasts, you can forget, but I can’t, so the things are still returned to you.” Saying that, Annie shoved the things into Drake’s arms, and the crystal–clear tears slipped from her eyes.

She originally had the kind of elegant and dusty appearance that I feel sorry for, and when she shed tears like this, it was even more poignant and moving.
There is some intolerance in the heart of Drake; in the end, it is that person who made him young want to guard for the rest of his life, and he cannot say that he forgets.
“So what do you want? I’ll try to fulfill you.”
“I don’t want anything but you.” Annie spoke slowly.
At those words, Drake’s brows furrowed. “You know full well that this is impossible.”
“Why, Drake, I don’t understand; why do you suddenly stop loving me? Obviously, once you were so good to me, weren’t you?”
Hearing this, Drake pondered for a moment: “Did I ever love you very much?”
Thinking back to the past, Drake really couldn’t recall half of the things that he loved about her, and it was undeniable that he never refused the requests she made.
Drake’s rhetorical question also caused Annie’s face to shatter for a few moments.
Yes, Drake really loves her. Since he loves her, why has Jane not been married for so many years? They have countless times to complete the wedding, but Drake did not marry her.
Keeping her around but never giving her any name, and her always saying that she loved him and didn’t care about any words of name, over time, even she was on the verge of believing it herself.
Thinking of this, Annie’s face was ugly, and when she thought that for so many years Drake had never really loved her, she felt filled with desolation.
Though this relationship, which she had begged for, was never hers in the first place,
After Annie left Maplewood, the whole person was disheveled, and the thought that the wish she had charted for so many years could not be achieved made her heart irritable.
Especially when the last time she fought with Jane, Jane also said that she and Drake had slept together for an unknown number of times long ago.
And she and Drake have been together for so many years, but Drake has never touched her. Isn’t this
the best illustration?
The more she thought about it, the more unwillingness and resentment grew in Annie’s heart.
Because of the coma for a few days, the Warner group had accumulated a lot of things to do. Even though Jane was injured, Drake still had to go to work and also instructed the servants to take good care of Jane.
And soon enough, Jane’s poison struck again, and because it was a day earlier than last time, Drake
didn’t even notice.
At first, it was only a slight pain that Jane could still endure, but later on, Jane’s head started sweating from the pain.
Just then, she received a message on her cell phone telling her to do what he said if she wanted the antidote.
Jane can’t stand the pain, and wanting to find out who is behind poisoning herself, she follows the other party’s request to a dilapidated and rotten building.

When they arrived at the location, the other party said that Jane saw two people with masks, and by looking at their figures, they could tell that they were men.
Enduring the pain that was drilling through her entire body, Jane looked at the man.
“Who are you guys? Why did you poison me?”
At Jane’s questioning, the two men laughed coldly and indifferently.
“You don’t have to care who we are; if you want the antidote to completely remove the poison from your body, then you must listen to us and do whatever we tell you to do.”
“You guys don’t think so!” Hearing the other party’s words, Jane rejected them outright without even thinking about it.
She would never be reduced to a pawn of the man behind the curtain!
“You’re still talking tough at this hour; I’ll see how long you can hold out.” The man sneered.
And as the pain in Jane’s body grew worse, the two men just watched quietly, unmoved.
Thinking about what happened before with the poisoning of Drake, Jane wanted to pry out some information to see if the poisoning of Drake was also related to these two men, so she endured the pain and said
“What do you want from me?”
Seeing Jane speak, the two men snorted, and one of them said disdainfully, “Finally, you can’t help the pain, can you?”
“Hmph, as long as you are obedient and bring important confidential documents from the Warner Group, we will give you the antidote, and it is something that can permanently stop you from getting poisoned.” The other man spoke coldly.
Hearing the other party’s words, Jane was certain that her guess was correct and that the poisoning of Drake was not unrelated to the person in front of her.
“It really is you guys; who the hell are you guys?” Jane chortled coldly, wanting to pry for more
information.
