“Mom, tell me, where is Zane?” Looking at the stunned expression on Courtney’s face, Drake pressed
for an answer.
After Drake’s question, Courtney hesitated for a moment.
“He was taken away by the Chief,” Courtney replied.
Upon hearing this, Drake furrowed his brows. He knew that his mother had sent Zane to that special place, but he didn’t expect that it was the Chief who personally took him away.
“The Chief? Who is this Chief?” Jane asked coldly.
Seeing Jane’s agitated state, Drake quickly held her hand and said, “Jane, don’t worry, I will bring Zane back. Let’s go back first.”
Knowing who took Zane, Drake didn’t stay any longer and prepared to take Jane away, and then retrieve Zane.
However, Jane looked coldly at Courtney and said, “What about Zoe and Zac? I want to take them
with me.”
Upon hearing this, Courtney’s face changed, and she immediately objected, “No, you can’t take them away.”
“If I don’t take them away, do you expect me to leave them here for you to send away?” Jane retorted unhappily.
“Hmph, you know nothing.”
“Yes, I don’t need to understand. They are my children, and I have the right to take care of them. Today, I’m taking them away, and you can’t stop me. If you want to control someone, you can control the ones you gave birth to. I won’t say a word about that.” Jane coldly retorted.
Her words were a bit harsh, but Jane was also driven by anger and didn’t care much about it.
“You… you…” Courtney pointed her finger at Jane in anger.
Jane didn’t bother with Courtney’s fury and went straight into the old residence to find the remaining two children.
Zac was reminiscing about their childhood memories and sharing stories from their past.
Zac didn’t pay much attention to the fact that Zane was taken away, thinking that Grandma had something to discuss privately with Zane.
It also gave him the opportunity to spend some alone time with his sister, which made him happy.
When Jane found the two children, Zac was a bit puzzled.
“Mommy, why are you here?” Zac happily approached Jane and asked.
But he noticed that Jane’s expression was not good, so he immediately became concerned.
“Mommy, what happened? Did Daddy make you upset again?”
“Come with Mommy.” Jane didn’t say much and held the hands of the two children, ready to leave. The children, despite their confusion about Jane’s unusual mood, obediently followed along.

Meanwhile, Courtney was stopped by Drake and paid no attention to Jane’s actions.
Once they were in the car, Zac asked with confusion, “Mommy, what about Zane? Aren’t we taking him with us?”
Upon hearing Zac’s words, Jane’s eyes immediately turned red.
Since accepting Zac as her own, she had always treated the three children equally. Even though she might have shown slight favoritism towards Zac occasionally due to the years they had missed together, she was fair and just in important matters.
But now Zane had been taken away, and she didn’t even know where he was being taken.
Just thinking about it, Jane couldn’t control her emotions, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Zac also sensed that something was wrong and immediately asked, “Mommy, did something happen to Zane?”
Jane didn’t answer Zac’s question; instead, she sniffled and tried hard to restrain her emotions.
“Mommy will definitely bring Zane back,” she said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Drake came out of the old house and got into the car. He started the car and drove away.
Jane saw Courtney chasing after them, but she coldly averted her gaze, still filled with anger.
Back at the mansion, Jane kept the two children by her side, not daring to leave them even for a moment, afraid that they would disappear in the next second.
Without Zane, Zac felt a bit uncomfortable and obediently relied on Jane’s embrace.
Drake had been making phone calls all along, and from the conversations, it could be inferred that he was tracing Zane’s whereabouts.
This alliance was very secretive, and its establishment was already little known, let alone providing talents for that special department. Therefore, strict confidentiality measures were in place, including frequent address changes.
Even though Drake had come out from that place, it was not certain that he could find Zane immediately.
Jane understood the difficulty of the situation and didn’t press Drake, silently waiting for news.
While Drake was on the phone, Jane’s phone received a call from Daniel. Jane glanced at it and saw that it was an urgent call from Drake’s assistant.
Jane quickly answered the call, and Daniel’s anxious voice came through the phone. “Miss Bentley, where is Mr. Warner?”
“He’s here. What’s wrong?” Jane sensed the urgency in Daniel’s voice and her heart tightened.
“I’ve been trying to reach Mr. Warner, but his line has been busy. Please let him know that something has happened.”
“What happened?” Jane’s anxiety increased upon hearing that something had happened.
“There has been a fatal incident at the construction site developed by the Warner Corporation.” Daniel explained.
Chapter 250
Upon hearing this, not only did Jane feel her heart tighten, but her head also started to ache. She knew that the construction project mentioned by Daniel was the one where her father, Andrew Bentley, had approached her and asked her to help coordinate, convincing Drake to collaborate with him on the project. Andrew had succeeded in getting a share and even threatened Jane with their cooperation, taking away 20% of the Bentley family’s shares.
The construction on that piece of land should have been nearing completion. How could there be a fatal incident?
Daniel couldn’t provide clear details over the phone and urged Jane to pass the call to Drake.
Coincidentally, Drake had just finished his call and noticed Jane’s unusual expression. He walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jane handed him the phone and briefly explained what Daniel had told her. Drake’s expression changed abruptly, and he immediately took the phone, communicating with Daniel on the other end.
After the call ended, Drake’s face turned ominously dark. He spoke with a controlled tone to Jane, “Stay at home. I’m going to the accident site.”
Jane understood the urgency of the situation and nodded, allowing Drake to leave with a heavy heart. Drake didn’t return for the entire night, and Jane couldn’t sleep well due to her worry for Zane
At dawn, she received another call from Daniel. “Miss Bentley, Mr. Warner has fainted!”
Upon hearing this news, Jane became even more anxious, realizing that Drake still had injuries on his body.
