Chapter 228
Jane naturally took the children back to her previous apartment.
At this moment, she felt extremely fortunate that she had a place of her own and her own car. Even if she left Drake, she had nothing to fear.
As he watched Jane leave, Drake felt full of sorrow and pain, but he also thought about what Annie said and the people seeking revenge against him. He thought it would be better to keep some distance from Jane to avoid implicating her before finding out who wanted to get revenge on him.
Just as Jane and the children returned to their apartment, she received a call from Courtney Philips. After hesitating for a while, Jane eventually answered the call.
She probably already knew the purpose of Courtney’s call.
While going downstairs, she noticed that Zach was no longer there and must have returned to the old residence, so it was no wonder that Courtney called.
After a little bit of hesitation, Jane finally answered the call, and on the other end, Courtney’s voice sounded anxious. “Jane dear, you’re going to divorce Drake?!”
After the call was connected, Courtney didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked about Jane and Drake’s situation. Jane also replied straightforwardly, “Yes.”
As for the reason for the divorce, Jane didn’t say. She believed that Zach had probably already told Courtney.
“You can’t do this, I don’t agree with your divorce,” Courtney said the same words as Zach.
“Madam, I think you may not understand. I am not the one who wants the divorce; it’s Drake. Annie is more important to him than me, even more important than the children.” Jane stated the fact coldly.
“Jane dear, don’t misunderstand. I can assure you that Drake does care about you.” Courtney said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Jane smiled coldly. She believed that if Drake truly had her in his heart, he wouldn’t have chosen to divorce her. As the deadline of the test she gave him approached, Drake still chose to divorce her at such a critical moment, revealing that he never truly cared about her.
“Madam, I don’t want to say any more than necessary. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask Drake yourself.”
Having already signed the divorce papers, Jane didn’t want to continue arguing with Courtney about the reasons for the divorce. She simply hung up the phone.
Courtney, who had been hung up on, naturally looked unhappy as she looked down at Zach sitted at
her feet.
“Grandma, how did it go? Did you persuade Mommy? No matter what, we can’t let Mommy and Daddy get divorced. Who is that Annie lady anyway? She’s not my mommy at all. No wonder she treated me so badly before. I never want to see her again. You have to help me find a way to drive her away and stop her from pestering Daddy.”
Hearing Zach’s pleading words, Courtney furrowed her brows. She wanted her grandchildren, but meddling in the affairs of adults was something she didn’t want to get involved in.
However, she couldn’t bear the thought of Drake and Jane getting divorced and potentially taking her recently reconciled grandchildren away. She had to think of a way to salvage this situation.
“Alright, Grandma will find a way for you. Don’t worry.”
After comforting Zach, Courtney began to ponder how to repair the relationship between Jane and Drake.
Later, Courtney went to see Drake. When she and her grandson returned to the Maplewood Mansion, Drake was getting ready to leave. Upon seeing them, he was taken aback.
Seeing her grandson’s expression, Courtney understood that she was needed here.
Without waiting for Drake to speak, Courtney asked coldly, “Where are you going?”
“To the hospital,” Drake replied without hiding anything.
Hearing this, Courtney’s face twisted in anger. “What exactly do you want to do? Do you think that now that you control the Warner Corporation, you can act recklessly?”
“Mom, I didn’t mean that,” Drake responded, with lowered eyes.
–
“I don’t care if you didn’t mean it. Let me make this clear to you today, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You must explain everything to me. Why do you want to divorce Jane?” Courtney said with a stern tone, demanding an explanation from Drake.
Drake couldn’t give an answer to this question and chose to remain silent.
Failing to get a response, Courtney’s face turned colder. “What does your silence mean? What? You still have feelings for Annie? If that’s the case, then why did you choose to give her up back then? What exactly are you trying to do with all this back and forth?”
“Mom, can you just leave these things alone?” Drake said with a hint of indifference on his lips.
Hearing that, Courtney was not pleased at all. She glared at Drake, thinking that he was nothing like his father. His father was a gentle and considerate man, while Drake seemed so cold and indifferent.
Courtney was both angry and helpless, and she could only give Drake a fierce glare.
“Don’t think I want to interfere, but let me make one thing clear today. If you keep messing around like this, don’t blame me for taking back control of the Warner family. Don’t think I can’t manage the Warner family just because I’m your mother. If you push me, I won’t hesitate to kick you out and let Jane come back with the three kids.”
Hearing his mother’s threat, Drake’s brow furrowed even deeper.
When did his mom and Jane become so close that she would let Jane take the three kids and leave
him like that?
“Mom, I’ll handle the situation, and I never intended to harm Jane. In fact, I did what I did to protect. her,” Drake sighed deeply.
“Really?” Courtney believed him to some extent after hearing his explanation but still asked in a questioning tone.
“Yeah,” Drake gave an affirmative answer.
“Then what’s the deal with Annie? If you chose her to protect Jane, why do you keep running back to Annie?” Courtney asked as she wanted to clarify things.

“She… got hurt because of me, and when I lost my sight back then, she was the one who was there by my side. She lost the ability to have children around the same time, and I couldn’t just stand by and watch her suffer,” Drake explained.
“Are you sure she got hurt because of you?” Courtney asked with some doubt.
In the past, when Drake was completing missions in the special forces, he injured his eyes. Although he later left the military, the people he targeted during his missions suffered some losses, leading to retaliation against him. Courtney was also aware of this incident.
They even tried to sabotage his eye surgery, but fortunately, it turned out fine, and he regained his sight.
Then, Annie appeared with a family keepsake, claiming that she got hurt because of him. Courtney, however, had always had doubts about her story.
She had taken a brief look at that girl from afar, and even though it had been a long time and her memory was somewhat unclear, the girl did not resemble Annie in any way.
