Chapter 708
Chapter 208
When he emerged from the bathroom, Jane remained composed, and the two bodyguards outside the door didn’t detect any issues.
Meanwhile, Charles and Mary from Rose Manor were discussing their plan. Charles made the first move, while Mary slowly made her way out. She had only taken a few steps when she encountered Edith.
Mary was familiar with Edith Warner, not only because of the information Charles had given her, but also because she had known Edith for a long time.
“Jane!” Edith called out to Mary, her voice icy.
At first, Mary didn’t want to pay attention to her. But when she thought about how this woman had been favored by Drake for so many years, she felt provoked.
“Is there something you need, Miss Edith?” Mary turned around and looked at Edith with disdain in her eyes. She was just an abandoned woman. Mary didn’t care about her at all.
Edith had also dressed up to attend Elizabeth’s birthday party. The Drake family’s status had risen over the years thanks to Drake’s efforts. And since Edith knew that she would encounter Drake and Jane at the party, she had taken special care with her appearance.
But despite her outward beauty, she was still the subject of gossip. Just now, she had overheard several women talking behind her back about how Drake had abandoned her. Naturally, this annoyed Edith. But there were so many people on the other side that she didn’t dare to confront them directly.
Since Mary was wearing Jane’s face, Edith assumed that she was Jane and vented her anger on her.
“Jane, I admit that you’re very capable. But don’t think that we’ll just forget about everything. All the hardships I’ve endured today will one day be repaid to you.”
Mary’s expression remained cold and defiant as she listened to Edith’s harsh words.
“You…” Edith was so angry at Mary’s words that she couldn’t bring herself to strike her in public. But
she was far from convinced.
“Wait for me.” With a cold snort, Edith turned around and left.
Mary watched her go and sighed. She continued towards the crowded area, thinking about Charles’s plan and looking for an opportunity to put it into action.
Edith returned to her mother Mildred, with a cold expression. When she saw this, she immediately asked what had happened. After hearing Edith’s reply, Mildred also looked coldly at Jane in the
crowd.
“Don’t worry. Mommy will definitely find a way to get back at her for you.”
Mary scanned the room for Drake. A waiter passed by with a tray of red wine. Mary picked up a glass and took a sip. The more she drank, the harder it was to stop. She finished the entire glass of red wine, and as she drank more, she grew thirstier and dizzier. Without realizing it, Mary followed the waiter to a secluded area.
As her head grew increasingly foggy, Mary became disoriented. Then someone stepped forward to support her.

Mary looked up at the person helping her.
“Miss, are you alright?” The man asked with a sinister smile.
Gazing at the handsome man before her, Mary couldn’t help but feel agitated. It seemed that when one entered this circle, one encountered all sorts of exceptional and attractive men.
Mary straightened up and put on a pretentious expression.
“Thank you, sir. I’m fine.” As she spoke, a blush crept onto Mary’sface.
“Miss, you’ve had too much to drink. Why don’t I take you to your room to rest?” The man’s hand touched Mary’s waist again.
Mary felt heat from the man’s broad palm. But remembering that she still had a task to complete, she did her best to stay alert.
“Thank you, sir. But I have something else I need to do. I won’t trouble you any further.”
The man refused to let her go. “Miss, what is it? Let me help.”
In the distance, Edith and Mildred watched from the shadows. Seeing this scene unfold before them, Edith’s face remained cold.
“Mommy, this is what you meant by getting back at me.”
Mildred watched the scene unfold with an icy expression. She had originally planned to add
something to Jane’s wine to make her look foolish, but she didn’t want Jane to encounter the young master of the Springbat family.
But soon, Mildred sneered. “You know who that brat from the Springbat family is. There’s no harm in letting something happen between them.”
Hearing this, Edith thought about the rumors surrounding Christopher. The Springbat family in Silverbourne was on par with their own family. Although the two families didn’t interact, Edith had heard about the young master of the Springbat family.
He was a notorious playboy, famous for his involvement with numerous internet celebrities. In their circle, he was known as the king of the sea.
If Jane became entangled with someone like that, she would inevitably face criticism and lose her reputation.
Thinking about this, Edith’s expression darkened.
In a daze, Marywas led into a room by Christopher. She resisted inwardly, but her body was beyond her control and she could only be pushed inside.
After that, her mind grew even more muddled. Gradually, she lost consciousness altogether. All she could feel was a sensation of floating on the sea.
Charles waited for their plan to be put into action, but even after Drake arrived and the birthday party began, there was no sign of Mary.
After searching for her unsuccessfully for some time, his expression grew grim. He thought that Mary must have decided not to follow his instructions.
As Drake looked around, there was no sign of Mary anywhere. The tension in the air was palpable, and only Edith had the courage to approach him. However, she was met with a cold reception.

“Drake, can I speak with you alone?” Edith asked softly.
Drake’s response was indifferent. “There’s nothing left for us to say.”
“Drake, even if you don’t love me anymore, can’t we still be friends?” Edith looked at Drake with pleading eyes.
“I don’t think that’s necessary,” Drake replied bluntly.
Their voices were low, but their proximity had already attracted a lot of attention.
