With a heavy heart Jane said coldly “Since Mr. Charles has investigated me and knows my mother’s name, don’t
don’t you
you know that my mother has passed away already?
Hearing this, Charles swayed and his knees almost gave in to his weight due to the sudden
information he just received. He couldn’t believe what he heard.
He had someone investigated Jane’s situation, however it was evident that Jane’s situation was deliberately concealed and that’s why the information he obtained was incomplete.
Therefore, there was no information indicated regarding Jane’s mother’s death on the report submitted by the people below.
What Jane has told him right now, made him hard to accept.
Looking at Charles Carlton’s state, Jane became even more curious.
What was the relationship between Charles Carlton and her mother? Why did he act so shocked when he learned that her mother had passed away? Jane didn’t believe that they had nothing to do with each other.
“She…how could she…she’s still so young, isn’t she?” Charles tears fell without warning.
It is said that men don’t shed tears easily, it was even more impossible for a middle–aged man like Charles Carlton to weep in the crowded mall.
However, he shed tears in front of Jane.
In order to find out the relationship between him and her mother, Jane pondered for a while, and slowly said in a grief tone.
“My mother was hospitalized all year round, still her health keeps on deteriorating until…”
Before Jane could finish her sentence, she turned her head sadly, tears streaming down her face.
Because, her mother’s death…carried her a great guilt.
If she hadn’t been stubborn and insisted on marrying Drake back then, and was constantly suffering because of the man, her mother would not have gotten worse because of worries.
Hearing Jane’s words, Charles’s face became even more sorrowful and suppressed his tears because he was in front of Jane.
Charles Carlton’s voice trembled and asked, “where is your mother… buried?” his body was lightly shaking.
Jane suppressed the grief in her heart and held back her tears. Turning her head to Charles she ask, ” what is your relationship with my mother?“.
Although she didn’t have any hostility to Charles he was Annie’s father after all. Since she and Annie couldn’t acquaint themselves. Also Jane isn’t foolish enough to tell Charles her mother’s grave.
Charles knows that he had to answer Jane’s curiosity and was already prepared for it so he suppressed his sadness and began telling her.
“Your mother and I have known each other since we were young and… were once lovers.”
Jane didn’t expect to hear such words from Charles and was stunned for a moment.

How could her mother be in love with Annie Carlton’s father? Jane really found it hard to accept.
“How is it possible? My mother never mentioned you to me.” Jane thought that Charles must be joking with her.
Charles gave off a wry smile which was full of longing and pain.
“I’m sorry for your mother. I didn’t get to the end with her. It’s normal that she doesn’t want to mention me to you.”
“Mr. Carlton, no matter what happened in the past, it will remain in the past. My mother has passed away already we should not meet again in the future. Our studio will refund your order’s payment in full. Please leave.”
Jane still couldn’t accept the fact that Charles and her mother were once lovers. Moreover, her mother had passed away now, so there was no sense to mention about her past again.
If it was because of his mother that Charles got close to her several times and ordered clothes with their studio, then there was no need for it.
She would not accept his guilt towards his mother.
Charles Carlton, who was still immersed in sadness, immediately opened his mouth when he heard Jane’s words.
“Miss Jane…I…”
“Mr. Carlton, doesn’t need to say anymore, please “Jane had already got up, walked to the door of the reception room, and opened the door directly, her intention to chase away the guests couldn’t be
firmer.
Seeing Jane’s coldness, Charles couldn’t say anything more, so he slowly got up and left.
Before leaving, he looked at Jane with a complicated and sad eyes.
After Charles Carlton left, Jane returned to her studio and sat down in the chair with a heavy heart, still having difficulty in processing what she had learned.
Charles who walked out of Jane’s studio bumped into Annie Carlton who was by the elevator.
The distraught Charles didn’t realize that it was Annie by the elevator and opened it. Annie saw her father and called out in surprise, “Dad!“?.
Annie is sitting in a wheelchair. Although it’s just a minor problem with her legs, she cannot move for the time being, so she can only sit in a wheelchair.
The person behind her, pushing her wheelchair was her mother Mildred.
Mildred was also surprised to meet her husband here, she hesitated to open her mouth, a little guilty.
-Charles didn’t want his wife and daughter to continue pestering Drake Warner, but they were both stubborn to give up. Taking advantage of the fact that Charles was not paying them attention for the time being, Mildred brought Annie to the Warner Group directly.
She did not expect to run into each other inside the building. Mildred lowered her head subconsciously.
On the contrary, Annie noticed that something was amiss. Noticing what floor where Charles came out from, which was one of the golden floors tending to be below Drake’s floor, her eyes glint

suspiciously. She asked “Dad, why are you here!”
Charles Carlton didn’t expect to run into his family members, he was stunned for a moment feeling guilty, but then he quickly composed his demeanor and acted as the family head.
“I also want to ask you, why are you here?” he asked them both.
No need to confirm it, Charles quickly perceived of their purpose for coming in the Warner Group and then felt angry and disappointed.
With a gloomy face he said, “I warned you a long time ago, telling you not to pester Mr. Warner, but you still don’t listen to my advice, do you want me to drive you out of the house?”
Hearing Charles’s words, Mildred’s head dropped even lower.
Although she dared to yell at Charles sometimes, she was still somewhat afraid of him. To be able to marry a man like Charles Carlton, she had done everything to climb this high also.
Annie felt unhappy and immediately replied to her father, “Dad, I’m your daughter. How could you say such a thing? Can’t you think about me as well. I’ve spent my entire years preparing for this. If I can’t marry Drake, who will I marry then?
Charles glared at Annie furiously and felt his heart burst with anger, when he thought that this was Warner Group, he controlled his anger and scolded them with a sullen face and said, “Get the hell out of here, you can’t move your legs but you’re still restless, do you want to disgrace the Carlton family?”
Annie pursed her lips, unwilling to leave, she hadn’t seen Drake’s face yet, so she isn’t willing to just
leave like this.
At this moment, Christine, Jane’s assistant, who had chased Charles after he excited the studio and found Charles who hadn’t left yet.
“Mr. Carlton it’s great that you haven’t left yet. Our boss asked me to give you a refund. We were having a hard time returning your money to your previous account as it keep declining. Please give us another account so that we can return the refunded money to you.
The appearance of Christine broke the weird atmosphere of the trio family. Annie Carlton, who was originally unwilling, immediately looked at Christine who appeared, and her expression seemed
curious.
She asked, “what is she talking about Dad?”
