Chapter 267
Marina glanced at the clothes and spoke with disdain, “I don’t want to wear these.”
Jane gave her a look and deadpanned, “You can leave if you don’t want to wear it. No one is stopping you.”
Although Jane wanted to know more about what Marina was referring to, it did not mean tolerating
her tricks.
Seeing that Jane was firm about it, Marina could only take the clothes reluctantly and returned to the
room.
After sending her away, Jane sighed, not knowing what was going on with Drake’s situation.
Drake, who was worried by Jane, was sitting in the office listening to all levels of executives debriefing with him.
The incident at the construction site had a large effect. Although he came forward to clarify that the people were not killed by accident, the public view still has not changed.
However, after all, people died on the site which still left a bad impression on the area.
No one wanted to buy a house in a place where lives were lost.
Now the house had reached the roof, the construction period was still stagnant and all sorts of problems kept piling up one after the other.
Of course, the Warner family would not collapse with just a piece of land, but the impact afterward would be huge with someone behind the scenes pushing for it.
Drake had been away for a few days because he went to find Zane. Many things have not been dealt with and the backlogs were piled on top of each other.
Mr. Warner, should we continue to cap the Berlin project? So far, we have put in six billion dollars. If we give up on this now, Warner Group’s loss will be incalculable.” Daniel Turner reported to him.
Drake frowned. After contemplating, he slowly spoke. “The project continues.”
“But…Mr. Warner, there was a murder case. Even if the building was finished, it may not be able to sell. Warner Group’s loss will only worsen. Moreover, the company’s other properties have been
affected. How could this be?”
“With that said Sir, we cannot continue to work on this land, else the company’s losses will be even greater.”
“Mr. Warner, I think it would be better to sell the land at a low price. We might not be able to save some of our losses.” Executives kept voicing their opinions.
For a moment, discussions continued in the conference room. Drake sat on a high seat, his face solemn, quietly listening to each take.
They kept talking for a while until they noticed that sitting on the chair, he has not uttered a word. They all quieted down and turned to face him.
Drake gaze swept around the crowd before firmly speaking. “Do as I instruct you: the project continues.”

Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar, but they did not dare go against Drake Warner’s words and could only murmur.
After the meeting, he returned to his office and looked at the pile of documents on the table that needed his attention. He sat down and started going through them.
Nighttime came and Jane accompanied her children for dinner at home. She waited for Drake and she still has not come back.
After dinner, she took the two kids upstairs for a bath. Marina, who had eaten in her room, slowly walked out and looked around.
Jane lived at a luxury apartment in the city. Because of her identity, although the owner was not bad to her, she kept a low profile and did not go out to the public.
So much so that her dream of living in a big villa never came true. She thought she could be a mother to her children, but now, not only did she lose her child, but she also lost her money and was once captured.
Thinking of this, Marina felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching her head. When she looked at Jane, not only did she live in such a nice house, but she also has two children – three babies in one, and a handsome and rich husband.
The more she compares, the more unhappy she felt. In terms of beauty, she was not that bad, even more appealing than Jane. Why could she not have such a life?
Marina could not help but go upstairs.
The room arranged for her was downstairs and next to the servant’s quarters. To put it simply, it was where the servants lived.
Walking upstairs, seeing the even more luxurious design made her more excited as she went straight
to Jane’s room.
Jane was bathing with Zoe at that moment. She was not in her room and so was unaware that Marina sneaked in.
Marina entered the room and glanced at the huge and soft bed. She opened the walk–in closet and saw all kinds of expensive clothes. She looked at her own clothes through the floor–to–ceiling mirror and her resentment towards Jane deepened.
Seeing the entire closet, she could not hold back any longer and found a beautiful skirt, admiring herself in the mirror.
Marina felt very proud looking at her attractive features. Although she had already given birth to a child, she was still fit. Her skin shows no signs of sagging and her figure was well–maintained.
As she was immersed in her beauty, there came the sound of footsteps outside the door. She was -startled and quickly turned off the light in the closet, trying to hide.
Before she could find a place to hide, the footsteps had already walked in. Through the mirror, she saw Drake’s figure.
He was frowning and looked exhausted. After entering the room, he also found a silhouette in the closet. Thinking it was Jane, he called out softly.
“Darling!”

Marina was frightened, but started thinking. Drake Warner did not see who she was. Could she take the opportunity to pounce on him?
With that thought in mind, she became excited. She lowered her head and walked fast towards Drake, thinking of making close contact and throwing herself into his arms
The idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel Marina failed to rush into him as the wished Drake dodged and she fell straight to the ground
“Ah!*
With her cry of pain, the lights in the room turned on again Drake looked down at her wearing Jamers clothes, his expression gloomy and terrifying
He took out his phone and called the butler As soon as the butler entered the room, he found Drake along with Marina still lying on the ground
