Impatiently, Jane fixed her gaze on Daniel, waiting for him to unveil the purpose behind his visit. But her expression remained indifferent, masking her true emotions. She had her own job and a multitude of personal affairs to handle; it was utterly inconceivable for her to take up the role of Drake’s assistant. She wasn’t one to be easily pushed around, and the audacity of Drake’s unreasonable request filled her with both frustration and anxiety. The audacity! How could he be so shameless as to think he could impose such a burden on her?
“Do you honestly believe such a thing is possible?” Jane retorted, her voice tinged with anger. “Tell him to abandon his delusions. I won’t stand for it. I won’t stand for him taking advantage of me like this. I swear, I’ll give him a piece of my mind!”
Jane’s anger was genuine, coursing through her veins with an intensity that burned brighter than the hottest flame. She couldn’t fathom how Drake could possess the audacity to make such an unreasonable request from her, not to mention the nerve to think he could get away with it unscathed.
“Madam, you understand the intentions of Mr. Warner,” Daniel interjected calmly, trying to diffuse the tension in the room. “His request was merely a euphemism. If you decline, the repercussions could be quite dire.”
Daniel’s words struck Jane like a bolt of lightning, jolting her out of her fury–induced haze. The realization hit her like a tidal wave crashing upon the shore.
Of course! How could she have forgotten the lengths she went to keep Drake at bay?
Memories of the days she was confined, trapped in a cycle of timelessness, flooded her mind once again.
Jane looked up, desperately fighting back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes. She yearned to conceal her vulnerability, shielding it from prying eyes that might witness her emotional turmoil.
Daniel’s gaze fixated on her, and an overwhelming sense of guilt washed over him. He was acutely aware of the irrationality of his actions, but circumstances had coerced him into this course of action.
Breaking the silence that hung heavy in the air, she pivoted on her heels and met Daniel’s gaze with determination etched across her face. “I will personally go and see him.”
Drake stood tall on the highest floor of the office building, gazing out of the colossal window that stretched from floor to ceiling. From his elevated perch, he cast an apathetic glance upon the bustling swarm of cars below, as if he were a regal monarch surveying his dominion.
In walked Daniel, guiding Jane into the office. “President Warner, Madam has arrived!” he announced.
At the sound of Daniel’s words, he turned around, his eyes falling upon Jane, who exuded an aura of cold austerity in her impeccably tailored suit. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for Daniel to leave, reducing their company to just the two of them.

Alone in the room, Jane wasted no time and addressed Drake with directness in her voice.
“Stop fretting over it, will you? It’s you who went and popped out another guy’s kid on the sly. How are you gonna explain that?”
Drake rose from his seat, striding purposefully toward Jane. His intense gaze locked onto her, piercing through her very being.
Hearing Drake’s words, a fiery rage ignited within Jane, burning with resentment.
“That’s on you. I have the right to have children whenever I damn well please. I can have as many as I want,” Jane retorted, her voice laced with fierce determination.
Drake’s demeanor softened slightly in response. “Don’t forget, you’re still my wife. If you’re going around giving birth to other men’s kids, you better give birth to mine too.”
With those words, he gently lifted Jane’s chin, planting a firm kiss on her lips.
Jane struggled against his hold, but she found herself trapped by his powerful grip. Gradually, her resistance subsided, and Drake released his grasp.
Taking a few gasping breaths, Jane raised her hand, poised to strike Drake’s face, only to be thwarted by the man.
“What? You reckon you haven’t hit me enough times?” Drake’s expression turned icy.
Jane seethed with anger, struggling to comprehend his words. Hadn’t she only landed one blow on him?
“Make sure you’re at work on time tomorrow, no tardiness allowed,” reminded Drake firmly.
Drake returned to his seat, settling himself down once again. Despite Jane’s temper, he managed to keep his cool. Jane, on the other hand, felt resistance towards giving in to his demands. Yet, when she thought of Zac, who had been absent from her life for countless years, she couldn’t bear the thought of never seeing him again in this lifetime.
Eventually, she reluctantly agreed to the man’s request. However, she made a silent vow that if he dared to ask her to be his assistant, she would make it her mission to bankrupt him.
Driven by a burning desire for revenge against Drake and her discontentment with the Warner Corporation, Jane returned to Joe and shared the news with Jasper.
Jasper immediately voiced his objection to Jane’s decision to work at the Warner Corporation. “He must have ulterior motives. You can’t walk into the tiger’s den willingly.
“Of course, I know that, but he’s threatening me with my child. I feel trapped.”
Jasper understood well that her child was her vulnerability.
“In that case, you must be cautious. Whatever difficulties you face, remember you can always come to me. I’ll do my best to assist you,” assured Jasper.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let my guard down. He actually had the audacity to ask me to be his assistant. Well, then I’ll play along and work for him,” Jane said defiantly.

Chapter 47
The following day, Jane arrived at the Warner Corporation. However, she was certainly not early. In fact, she was thirty minutes late.
In response, Drake chose to remain silent, merely instructing Daniel to guide her to her workstation. Within half a day, news of Jane’s arrival at the Warner Corporation spread throughout the entire floor.
Daniel escorted Jane to the desk of the male assistant and respectfully said, “Madam…”
“Call me Jane or Miss Bentley…” In the past, being referred to as Madam would have delighted Jane, but now it only made her feel nauseous.
“Miss Bentley, this is your assigned position. All the necessary information is here. Take a moment to familiarize yourself. We might have clients visiting tomorrow. President Warner has specifically requested that you handle their reception.”
Jane cursed Drake in her mind, branding him a scoundrel and heartless individual. She had barely arrived, and he already burdened her with so much work.
Humph! “What clients?” she scoffed inwardly. She promised herself that she would ensure their visit was thoroughly unpleasant and promptly send them packing.
With this mindset, Jane found herself idle throughout the morning. She had no interest in perusing any of the information provided. Instead, she occupied herself by playing games on the computer.
Her colleagues couldn’t help but murmur amongst themselves upon witnessing her behavior.
During a visit to the restroom, Jane overheard a group of female assistants engaged in a heated argument, criticizing and gossiping about her.
