Chapter 268
“Young Master!” The butler stepped forward with a trembling heart, glancing at Drake’s face.
Jane told him to keep an eye on Marina but she seemed to take advantage of her and ran upstairs, even wearing her clothes. No wonder the Young Master’s face was so stiff.
“Drag her out.” Drake ordered coldly, anger welling up in his eyes and looking at Marina as if she was trash.
The woman had fell to the ground and hit her knee, swollen and painful. She could not get up at all. When she heard Drake’s words, she paled.
“No, I was wrong… Please don’t do this to me! She begged.
However, Drake did not want to hear another word form her and left the butler to it.
The butler did not beat around the bush and asked two servants to drag Marina away.
When Jane heard the noise, Marina was already holding on to the handrails and refused to leave.
She even shamelessly asked Jane to plead for her.
Although Jane did not know what happened, she saw Drake standing aside with a cold expression. Seeing Marina wearing her clothes made her understand the situation a little. She looked at her but did not speak up.
She was originally reluctant to keep her, but now that she was acting wickedly and shamelessly, Jane thought she must have lost her mind thinking about letter her stay.
Without Jane’s help, Marina was dragged out of the villa. The housekeeper knew that just leaving her at the door would not make her go away and sent her to a street far away from Maplewood Mansion.
Marina was ruthlessly thrown out of the car. It was still at night, and she was still wearing Jane’s suspender dress, which felt fine at the villa. Now, out in the street, the cold wind blew from all directions making her shiver with cold.
In an unfamiliar city, she was penniless. She could only walk up and down the street hoping to find a place to stay.
After walking for a while, Marina realized that someone was following her. She looked back and saw two drunk men staring at her with lust.
She already had a nice figure, and wearing a dress made the two men salivate at her more.
Aware of their malicious intent, Marina turned around and ran.
The two men instantly caught up and within a short while trapped her in a secluded alley with full intentions of harming her.
Marina was so frightened and shouted for help. In such a remote place, no one noticed at all.
When she thought it was all over, a bright light shone in the alley causing the three people to close their eyes at the same time.
She took the opportunity to run out of the place, opening the car door and sitting inside.
The driver did have the intention of saving her. As soon as she got in the car, the person immediately drove away from the area.
Chapter 261
After she was safe, Marina looked at the driver and was stunned; it was a good–looking man.
Unlike Drake Warner’s appeal, the man in front of her had slightly upturned eyes and a somewhat feminine face – his aura however, was similar to Drake’s.
“Thank you for saving me,” Marina turned to the man and thanked him charmingly.
No wonder she was tempted when she saw him. It was because the man she was with was indescribable, and she’s a face reader.
Because she was forced to give her money to an ugly man, seeing an attractive man once again made Marina want to spent a night with him.
She had qualms before. After all, in the city, she had to rely on the paymaster and did not get too far. Now that she had nothing, there was nothing else to be afraid of.
The man naturally felt her charm, but his face was still frosty. Instead, he chose to warn Marina.
“If you value your life, sit quietly for me.”
Marina did not dare move. She had just been kicked out by Drake Warner and her innocence was almost stained. This time, it was best to be quiet.
The car drove all the way to a villa.
The man got out of the car before she followed. As soon as she stepped out, she felt the sheer cold and hugged her arms tight.
Seeing the man already entering the villa, Marina rushed after him.
“Sir, wait for me!”
The two walked inside, and Marina noticed that the villa was not at all inferior to Drake Warner’s. A hint of greed rose in her eyes again.
At that moment, a man slowly came downstairs. Beside him was a boy.
Seeing the man, River’s expression shifted slightly and subconsciously pulled Zane behind him, not wanting the man to notice the child.
However, the man’s gaze fell directly on Zane. Seeing his movements, he turned to Zane and narrowed his eyes, releasing a somewhat dangerous aura.
River walked in front of the man. “Master, why are you here?”
Hearing River’s words, the man’s thin lips moved.
“I came to see you. Why, do you not want to see me?”
“No.” River cringed and did not look directly into the other man’s eyes.
-Zane followed River downstairs, his eyes falling on the man who suddenly appeared.
He was surprised when the man turned out to be prettier than his scumbag father.
Sensing his gaze, the man once again turned to Zane and a cold smile formed in his lips.
“Is this the child?”
“Yes.” River did not want to admit it, but he had to tell the truth.
“Yes…it does somewhat resemble you.” The man’s grin widened and hid a deep meaning.
ver’s face turned pale and he did not say a word.
an walked straight to the sofa and sat down, telling River, “Set her up.”
River then realized that there was a woman in the room.
His eyes fell upon Marina, looking surprised.
