Chapter 265
In the end, Jane and Drake could only bring Marina back to Silverbourne..
After arriving in Silverbourne, Drake found a remote place to park the car, and told Marina to get outside the vehicle.
“Now, get lost!”
Marina was aware that she was not treated well by Jane and Drake, but she was now penniless and had no place to go. She needs to be thick–skinned so she can ask help from the two.
“Miss Bentley, please just let me stay. I knew what I did was wrong. I really have no place to go now. I’m penniless and I have no documents. I can’t go anywhere. I will be dead if you guys won’t help me.”
Despite hearing her words with of desperation, Jane blankly replied,: “We don’t care whether you live or die.”
Marina paled with her words.
“You don’t care if I die? What about your children? Don’t you care about them either ?”
Hearing those, Jane turned back and glowered at Marina in the back seat.
“Don’t ever let me hear you threaten me once again. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
Marina was once again shaken with fear. How could she forget that Jane was not one to be messed with?
“I’m sorry, Miss Bentley. I didn’t mean it like that. I just wanted to say that I know a lot about that one place. Please don’t leave me behind. Don’t worry, I can still provide you with other information.” Li Jiahui said, changing her tone.
Jane hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to keep her.
Although Zane had already sent her a message, they still could not pinpoint his exact location and where not sure about his situation.
“it’s not impossible to let you stay. But I’m warning you, you better not stir up any trouble,” Jane said coldly.
“Thank you, Miss Bentley. Not to worry, I certainly won’t repeat the things I did before,” Marina promised with conviction.
Later on, Jane took Marina back to Maplewood Mansion.
At the same moment, Zane, who was missed by Jane, stood in front of an angry River.
River was holding a phone in his hand, which turned out to be the servant’s.
When he grabbed ahold of the phone, Zane’s message was already sent and deleted.
“Tell me the truth. To who did you send the message to?” River asked furiously.
Zane was not at all scared. Instead, he calmly responded, “You stole my phone before I could send it.”
He refused to admit that he sent his mother a message saying he was safe.
River stared at him, searching for any trace of dishonesty in his eyes. Zane however, was calm and

did not have a single ounce of panic that River almost believed him.
An icy smile formed on River’s face. “I was almost tricked by you, kid. Do you expect me to believe you?”
“You can either believe me or not, but I said what I said.” Zane shrugged and answered nonchalantly.”
“Then tell me, how did you get the phone?” River asked him again.
“It wasn’t that easy. While he’s bringing me food, I just reached out and grabbed it.” Zane said casually as River frowns.
He really underestimated this child. He was smarter than he thought.
Seeing that he could not get any answers, he thought that there was no time to waste. “Hmph. You are indeed smarter than I imagined, but…don’t think that you can escape just because of this.”
“If I don’t try, how else would I know?”
“We’ll see.” River was slightly irked as he got up and left.
As soon as he reached the door, his phone rang. He picked it up and glanced at the number, hesitating for a second before answering.
There was a deep and magnetic voice over the phone. “I heard that you captured the heir of the Warner Group?”
“Yes.” River was silent for a moment before answering dryly.
“Good, send the child over and I’ll train it myself.” The man said, sounding pleased.
However, after his reply, he was met with River’s refusal. “I have my own plans for this child.”
The person over the phone was stunned at the rejection, and he replied in a low tone.
“Are you trying to disobey me?”
“This is not disobedience, it’s just that he’s useful to me. You have already promised me full control over the situation here, and now you have come to ask for someone. It’s you who did not follow your word.” River responded coldly.
The man on the other line was silent for a while.
“Fine. Since you want to to do it yourself, I can not interfere. Although, you better do as I say and tell me what you have done behind my back. You are aware of the consequences.”
With that, he hung up.
Still holding the phone, River pondered briefly before putting it away and heading downstairs.
Jane and Drake returned to Maplewood Mansion as Drake received a call from his assistant Daniel Turner stating that there was a problem with the company that required his immediate attention.
He could only remind Jane to be careful Marina before heading to the company.
Jane handed Marina over to the housekeeper, asking for a room to be arranged. She left to see the kids, but not before hinting that she should keep an eye on Marina James and forbid her from leaving outside.
The two children had not seen her for a few days, and they missed her deeply.

Chapter 265
After pouring out their feelings, Zachary talked about Zane’s situation, asking if Jane had brought
him back.
Jane felt saddened at the mention of his name, shaking her head. “Mommy is useless. I could not bring him back.”
“It’s not Mommy’s fault, he will be fine.” Zoe reached and gently wiped the tears from her mother’s
eyes.
Jane felt pleased looking at her two compassionate children. Just as she was about to spend time with them both, a servant walked in.
“Madam, a Miss Bentley is looking for you outside the door.”
Jane immediately thought of Amy Bentley. Apart from her, there is no other Bentley who would come look for her.
“That will not be impossible!” Jane said harshly. She had only just returned. She wanted to spend time with his kids properly, she did not want to see anyone.
“Understood,” the servant spoke. Soon after, Jane heard cursing from outside the door.
