Chapter 241
“What about that organization you mentioned before? The one you encountered during your mission in the military?” Jane couldn’t help but ask.
Drake nodded, his expression serious. “It’s them.”
“What kind of existence are they, and why do they instill such fear in you?” Jane had never been in contact with this organization, so she didn’t understand why Drake was so apprehensive about it.
“I don’t know much about the origins of this organization, but I do know that they have existed for a long time. They even played a role in the outbreak of the a war back then. They are persistent and intend to disrupt peace once again,” Drake said coldly.
Listening to Drake’s words, Jane was filled with disbelief. She never imagined that there would be such an organization in this world, even strong enough to influence a country.
“What should we do now? They won’t harm the children again, will they?” Jane said worriedly.
Drake shared the same worries for Jane. The current problem was how to protect Jane and the children.
“I will have 303 secretly protect the three children. As for you, stay with me from now on. It’s best to stay close to each other,” Drake said.
“But I still have to take care of matters in my studio,” Jane said.
“I will have a floor in the Warner Group’s building cleared out for you. You can move your studio there, and it will be convenient for us to commute together,” Drake declared generously.
Upon hearing this, Jane couldn’t help but be amazed.
After all, the building where the Warner Corporation was located was in the most luxurious area of Silverbourne, almost considered prime real estate.
Even with Jane’s current financial capacity, it wouldn’t be easy to have her own studio in such a prime location. However, coming from Drake, it wasn’t surprising at all. After all, he’s known as the richest man in Silverbourne.
For her own safety, Jane could only agree to Drake’s request and temporarily move to the Warner Crest Estate.
However, Drake’s decision to move her studio was met with an objection from Jasper.
“Jane, are you really surrendering to Drake like this? Have you forgotten what you said before? You said you would never bow down to him!” Jasper protested.
Jasper was already feeling uncomfortable because Jane and Drake openly lived together, using the excuse of the children. Now, Jane was even moving her studio to the same place as Drake’s, which made it even more difficult for him to accept.
Jane understood Jasper’s objection, but she couldn’t tell him about the issue with the organization.
“Jasper, I have my own reasons for doing this, and I hope you can support me,” Jane said.
Upon hearing this, Jasper’s expression remained sour. He changed the topic and continued speaking.

Jane, tell me honestly, are you still not over Drake?”
Upon hearing this question, Jane hesitated for a moment and didn’t immediately give an answer. Jasper understood the silence, and it meant that he was right.
For a moment, Jasper felt uneasy, unable to understand what made him inferior to Drake
*Jane, what is so good about Drake that makes you repeatedly throw yourself into the fire, knowing it’s a bottomless pit? Why do you keep throwing yourself in?” Jasper asked with a hint of anger.
Upon hearing this, Jane snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Jasper’s angry expression. She didn’t know what to say for a moment, and could only sigh and respond.
“I won’t let myself fall into it again.”
Upon hearing Jane’s words, Jasper felt like a deflated balloon. It meant that she had decided to give Drake another chance.
“Jane, you will regret this. Drake is not a good person. Why don’t you take a look at the person who has been by your side, protecting and accompanying you?” Jasper said helplessly.
After hearing Jasper’s words, Jane wasn’t a fool. She understood what he meant, but she couldn’t respond.
However, now that Jasper had been honest, Jane decided to clarify things with him. She solemnly expressed her thoughts.
“Jasper, I understand your feelings, and I appreciate your companionship and help all these years. But… some things cannot be based solely on gratitude.”
“All this time, you pretended not to know, and I pretended not to see your feelings, because I was afraid. I was afraid that if we made things too clear, we wouldn’t even be able to remain friends.”
Upon hearing Jane’s words, Jasper looked up at her. His eyes no longer carried the usual nonchalant demeanor but instead showed maturity and steadiness befitting a man.
“So, you knew about my feelings all along, and you were just pretending not to know?” Jasper felt a heavy weight in his heart as the words were laid out.
“We’ve always been good friends, haven’t we? Besides, we met when I already had a child. I never thought you would have different feelings for me,” Jane honestly replied.
After hearing Jane’s words, Jasper lowered his gaze again, full of disappointment.
“Okay, I understand!”
After saying these words, Jasper turned around and walked away.
Jane watched him leave with a heavy heart. From the beginning, she hadn’t wanted to confront these feelings, afraid that it would jeopardize their friendship.
Given the current situation, it seemed unlikely that Jasper would continue to stay in the studio.
Jane sighed and ultimately decided not to message Jasper again.
With Drake’s intervention, the studio was quickly relocated to the building of the Warner Group. After the move, Jane planned to inform Drake, but upon reaching his office, she discovered that he wasn’t there.
Just as Daniel, Drake’s assistant, passed by, Jane pulled him to inquire about Drake’s whereabouts.
Chapter 241
“Mr. Warner went to the hospital,” Daniel, the assistant, replied.
“The hospital?” Jane was slightly puzzled, not understanding why Drake would go to the hospital. Could it be related to Annie?
“Ma’am, Mr. Warner went to see Miss Annie,” Daniel quickly answered, confirming Jane’s suspicion.
“What happened to Annie again?” Jane’s voice turned cold.
“I don’t know. Mr. Warner didn’t say,” Daniel shook his head, becoming slightly concerned seeing Jane’s cold expression. He hoped that Drake wouldn’t blame him for revealing the information.
While Daniel was worrying for himself, Jane had already turned around and left. She left the Warner Group and headed straight to the hospital.
