“Who is she?” River opened his dry lips and asked stiffly.
“Her identity is not important. You just need to do as I say,” The man replied.
Although River was still confused, he did not ask any more questions, and the three of them took to
Marina.
“Which room do you stay in?” After Marina left, the man turned to River.
River was stunned before answering truthfully. The man then got up and made a beeline to his room.
The man’s actions made his expression darken. Zane also watched the man go upstairs, thought for a while, and looked at River.
“Is that person your boss?”
River looked down at Zane and instead spoke, “Kids should not pay attention to grown–ups and their business.”
“Tch. Do you think I care about you? I’m not worried about you. You’re not even married yet and you don’t have children. If you hang out with such a feminine man, you’ll find it even harder to have a wife.” Zane looked like he was worrying about River.
Hearing the kid’s word’s, River frowned.
“Hmph. Next time if you talk too much, I’ll tie your Mommy up and ask her to give me six kids.” He threatened.
“Hmph!” Zane was indeed threatened and he huffed, not saying anything further.
After sending Zane back to his room, River headed to his own with a feeling of uneasiness.
He found out his entire room was dark.
He made a move to walk in. Just as he reached the window, the light turned on. A tall figure appeared at the bathroom door, body wrapped in a towel, revealing a strong torso.
“Master, you rest.”
River lowered his eyes and avoided looking at the man.
The man’s mouth formed a sneer. “Come here!”
His deep magnetic voice was full of bewitching intent.
At the Maplewood Mansion, after Marina was chased away Drake took Jane to his room.
“In the future, you and I will share a room.”
Hearing his overbearing words, Jane did know why he said that, but…
“No, we will still live separately.”
Although she had already agreed to give him a chance, it did not mean she would accept him so easily.
Whether they could live in harmony depended on Drake’s attitude.
“Why? Didn’t you promise to give me a chance?” Drake asked exasperated.
*t did promise you, but it’s not time for us to sleep together.” Jane said.
‘Are you still resisting me?” Drake was not satisfied with Jane’s words, his face darkening.
“No.” Jane denied that if she really resisted him, she would not forgive him at all.
“Then why can’t we live together?” Drake was confused.
“Because…” You have not given me a legitimate identity yet.
Of course, Jane did not say that. She hoped to be with Drake and that he would make up for a real wedding.
She no longer wanted Drake to be forced to give her anything or give her whatever she wanted.
She wanted him to give to her willingly.
“Anyway, we cannot live together yet,” Jane stood up, rejecting Drake.
“If you think that room is not clean, I will sleep with Zoe.”
In all honesty, she was quite reluctant to approach the room. After all, who knew what Marina did in that room.
Jane went to go to Zoe’s but Drake grabbed her and pushed her onto the bed.
“Tonight, do not go anywhere. Stay with me!” He spoke domineeringly.
Jane was pinned down, feeling the man’s warmth on her body. Her ears were red, and the man’s expression was lustful. Of course, she was aware of what Drake was trying to do.
The two of them already had sex several times, but not enough, certainly not enough for a man in his prime.
Now that she planned to give him a chance, Jane was not holding back, it’s just that… she was a little unprepared.
As she was in a daze, Drake’s kiss had already landed on her lips in a breathtaking movement.
The next day, Jane naturally woke up late and Drake was no longer with her.
She slowly got up. After washing up, she went downstairs and found out that Courtney Philips was in the living room, and she really wanted to argue with Drake.
“You two are really fooling around. Zane has already been sent to that place. How else can you find him and take him away?”
Jane heard Courtney speaking to Drake and could not help but feel puzzled.
They went to look for Zane but could not bring him back. How could Courtney say such things?
“Hurry and get Zane back while you still have the chance. Otherwise, do not count on the Alliance’s protection in the future.”
Drake sensed something wrong from her words and frowned, “We went to look for him but we could not bring him back.”
Courtney was stunned. She felt that Drake was lying to her and simply did not want to hand Zane
over.
“Dray, Jane…she doesn’t know. Don’t you know? I did this not only for the family, but also for Zane’s

well–being. Once he comes back safe and sound, the company will be his from now on, just like you now,” his mother said earnestly.
Drake naturally found her words to be true. He also came down from that path, but he had no intention to have his child do the same.
“Mom, the company is already strong enough. If you are still dissatisfied, why would you think of sending your grandson to such a dangerous place?”
Drake sighed deeply. He, too, felt helpless.
If the company wants to excel in Silverbourne, this must be done. Don’t you understand? Without the protection of the Alliance, the company cannot flourish for long,” Courtney disagreed with his son’s words.
“Not to mention the future of the Warner Group. You have offended that organization. Without their protection, do you think they would easily let the company go?”
