Chapter 338
The two of them suppressed their emotions and turned around to look at Giovanni.
Jane did not say anything and handed over the job of negotiating to Drake.
Giovanni, who had lost the game, was already agitated enough. And having the two of them size him up side by side just added more to his grievance.
He took out his phone and said angrily to Drake.
“Give me your card number. I’ll transfer the money to you now.”
One billion was not small, but it was still not that big so he gave it away just like that. However, he was still very distressed.
It was because he had lost the woman he had been looking forward to. It turned out that the man beside her was indeed very powerful.
Drake didn’t waste any time and put the numbers. He wasn’t joking with the money. He was rich but how would he not want to receive the prize which he rightfully earned?
Moreover, this money was for his wife.
After receiving the transfer notification, Drake was satisfied and took Jane’s hand.
“Let’s go. Let’s go home.”
Jane could not wait to go home to see the little cuties.
Giovanni watched Jane’s retreating back and clenched his fist. Just as he was about to stop her, he was first stopped by the butler who reminded him:
“Young Master, don’t do anything more foolish. Please think about your uncles. You still have to think about how to deal with them. Besides, that man is very powerful. You cannot fight him if you are not stronger than him.”
The butler’s last words caused Giovanni to stop calling Jane. Then, he turned his head to look at the butler, his face scrunched up in frustration.
Jane and Drake got into the car and drove away. Looking at the cars behind them, Jane was a little
confused.
“Where did you go to make such an entrance?”
This was not in Germany, so Jane was very puzzled. How could Drake create such a big show abroad?
“I borrowed them from Matthew,” Drake admitted directly.
At the mention of Matthew’s name, Jane immediately thought of April. Thinking of the extravagant and complicated old castle at Matthew’s family last time, Jane was relieved.
Being able to live in such a luxurious and prosperous old castle, it was indeed not difficult for him to give Drake the means for that whole spectacle.
“I borrowed in exchange for information about April’s whereabouts,” Drake added.
“What!?” In one sentence, Jane’s originally relaxed mood spiked up. She turned to him and glared.
Chapter 338
How could he do this? How could she face April after she returned?
“Drake, how could you do this? Even if you can’t save me, you can’t betray April. How can I ever face April in the future? I’m really going to be mad at you.” It genuinely disappointed her that he would do
this.
However, Drake did not think that the matter was serious. In his mind, it was a simple matter of Matthew liking April and her liking him back so why not just get together and stop torturing themselves like that?
“Jane, listen to me. Matthew will not hurt April. He may even care about her more than you. Even if he now knows where she is, he will not make any deviations. Let it be.”
Even after his consolation, Jane still did not agree. “What do you know? If he really loves her, he shouldn’t bother her while he is engaged with someone else.”
“That was not an engagement that he wanted.” Drake knew bits and pieces of Matthew’s situation. He knew about the guy’s marriage contract with the daughter of a certain royal duke.
However, this was the kind of arrangement made by some elders and the involvement of interests. It was out of Matthew’s control.
“His marriage contract was not his own choosing, so I can’t blame him for this,” Drake defended.
Perhaps because April had done the same thing as Jane in running anyway, Drake felt some sympathy towards Matthew.
The poor guy even had to collaborate with Drake to get some news about April.
And while it was true that the two of them were powerful, Matthew still had not found April even though she had been in Silverbourne for so long.
“Even if it’s not by his choice, it is still a fact that he is engaged and about to be married. Since he can’t cancel it, then he should stop pursuing April. Now that things have escalated to this, how should April handle herself? How long should she have to handle this at all?”
“Is it that he plans to make her his other woman even after he finally gets married? Or does he plan to imprison her if she didn’t want to, just like before?” Jane asked sharply.
This time, Drake did not dare to speak again.
He had done the same things like imprisoning her before, so he didn’t want to keep the conversation lest he burned himself.
However, Jane did not plan to let it go. She glared at Drake angrily, and then extended her hand.
She ordered him, “Give me your phone.”
“What?” Drake asked worriedly.
“Call April. You exposed her location. I have to inform her immediately.”
Hearing this, Drake could only obediently take out his phone and hand it to Jane. However, in his mind, he hoped that Matthew would be faster and find her before Jane could get to her.
Jane memorized April’s number. She quickly typed it in and called.
It rang for a long time but no one answered. This made Jane even more worried and could not help but mumble.
Chapter 338
“Could it be that Matthew already got to her and took her away?”
When the dial tone ended, Jane called again, but there was still no answer. Now she was even more
anxious.
She handed the phone back to Drake, her eyes still complaining, “Call Matthew.”
“Why call him too?” Drake was a little scared. Only when he was facing Jane would he show such an expression.
“To ask if he had taken her away. If he has not found her yet, you are not allowed to reveal more
information about her.”
Being stared at by Jane’s commanding eyes, Drake could only take the phone and do as he was told.
The call was quickly connected, and a low voice came from the phone.
“Is something wrong?”
“Did you find her?” Drake asked bravely. He really didn’t want to participate in this kind of love–hate relationship between his brothers–at–arms.
But who told him to expose his wife’s best friend in the first place? Now he could only bite the bullet.
As for Drake’s question, it was Matthew’s personal matter so it was strange that he would be curious. Matthew was obviously taken aback for a moment, but he still replied in a jerky tone.
“No, I’m tied up with a few other things. I sent someone over instead. There’s no news yet.”
Matthew’s tone sounded gloomy and also a little tired.
Drake glanced at Jane. She looked relieved. Seeing this, he regained his tone and responded:
“My matters are settled. The people I borrowed, I let them go back on their own.”
