Chapter 270
Drake fell into silence and did not argue, although he still did not agree with his mother’s actions.
Seeing that his son had nothing to say, she thought that she had persuaded him as she slowed down and spoke softly.
“Dray, sending Zane away is hard on me too. However, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. Let him participate in this selection.”
Drake finally understood what she meant. He raised his eyes and looked at her in disbelief and shock.
“We didn’t bring him back.”
Hearing this, Courtney paused, thinking that he was still lying to her.
“Drake, I’m serious. Why don’t you understand?”
“Mom, I’m telling you the truth. Jane and I didn’t bring him back.”
Drake was really confused. Although he and Jane went to the headquarters, they did not see their child.
Later, they received a message from Zane saying that he was in Silverbourne and the two would be coming back.
Drake had a feeling that his son should have been in that special place, but now his mother’s words made him realize a terrible situation.
Zane… he was no longer in that place.
Realizing that Drake was not lying, Courtney was at a loss. “If you did not bring him back, why did the Master say he was missing? Did you really not take him away?”
“No.” Drake said, feeling ashamed.
Jane heard the entire conversation and was also surprised. She hurried her steps and approached the two.
She turned to Drake, asking anxiously.
“What is going on, Isn’t Zane taken away by the Alliance? Why do you keep saying he’s not there?”
After she previously received the message that Zane was safe, she had already calmed down.
Although he was in a dangerous situation, it was after all high–security area. As long as Zane remained strong, his safety would not be a problem.
But now she found out that her son was not there all this time. How could she not worry?
‘Drake could not respond and instead turned to his mother, looking for an answer.
Courtney did not understand as well. She then told her what she knew.
“The leader told me that you already took Zane and so he is no longer in the selection. What’s more,
there is another child who was taken away. He has already been found.”
“I was told that you should send him back at once, and the Alliance will forget the matter.”
Hearing this, the other two’s hearts sank.

Chapter 270
Looking back to when they ran into Marina again, it could be assumed that the other child was her son. No wonder she was being chased.
But they really did not have Zane.
Not knowing who took him away, Jane felt distressed and slumped down the sofa.
She pondered for a while before suddenly looking up and turning to Drake.
“Don’t tell me. Could he have been taken away by that Road to Rebirth organization?
As soon as Jane’s words left her lips, Drake’s eyebrows furrowed as he felt that it was possible.
\“No, no, I sent Zane to the leader myself. How could that be true?”
Before Drake could say anything, Courtney shook her head, her face drained of color.
It was obvious that she too thought of the possibility.
“This is all your fault. Why did you send my child away? You give Zane back to me. Give him back.”
Jane glared at Courtney. If she had any respect for her elders before, now what is left is only hatred.
Zane was her child. Why did she have to send him away? Now he was in danger.
With the accusation, Courtney could not argue and just paled. She did not know what she was thinking and looked down as if she recalled something horrible.
“If something happens to Zane, I will never forgive you.” Jane spoke with a fierce tone and turned to leave from the place.
Drake wanted to hold her back but she was determine to leave. When he tried to chase after her, she
already drove away.
Speeding on the road, she soon calmed down and parked the car at the side. She touched the tears as they pour down from her eyes.
She could not cry nor give up. She had to find Zane.
With that in mind, Jane took out her phone and called April’s number.
The phone rang for a long time before it connected. Then, a deep voice came from the phone.
“Something happened.”
“Where is April?” Jane quickly realized that it was Matthew.
“Wait for a moment,” the voice replied roughly, and then there came footsteps. He must have called April.
After a while, April’s voice came over the phone, for some reason sounding a little weak.
“Hello, love!”
Hearing his frail tone, Jane was alarmed.
“April, what’s wrong? Why do you sound so weak?”
With that, there was silence on the other line before he replied.
“I’m fine, honey. Why did you call?”
Hearing that he was fine, Jane did not ask further as she was overcome with worry for Zane’s safety.

‘April, I want you to help me investigate an organization called Road to Rebirth.”
“Road to Rebirth?” He repeated her words, obviously having no idea of the organization.
Before they could discuss further, Matthew’s cautious tone replaced April’s.
“You want to investigate Road to Rebirth? It’s best if you don’t.”
Jane was perplexed and immediately followed up. “Mr. Hughes, do you perhaps know something about this organization?”
Matthew chose not to respond and stayed silent.
“Hughes, since you have an idea, just tell her properly. What’s the point of pretending?”
April’s irritated voice was heard through the other line.
However after he spoke, Matthew replied gravely.
“Knowing too much won’t do her any good. It will only put her in trouble.”
“Hmph. Stop messing around. It’s just an organization, what’s the big deal? If you don’t talk, believe it or not…”
