Chapter 60
Annie was already impatient. She might not have been by Drake’s side, but her ears were always listening to any news about him.
Therefore, she knew that Jane was working in Warner Corporation.
Because of this, she couldn’t wait to go back to him.
“You were caught by Drake about what happened last time. It’s only been a while since then. If you go to him now, I’m afraid it will backfire,” Heather explained with a frown.
Annie felt a spark of anger and threw the make up brush in her hand. “Then how long do I have to wait? That slut Jane is already working for the Warners. Are you going to let me sit and watch
Heather walked over and comforted her softly, “Annie, you don’t have to worry. There is no old relationship between them. The person in Drake’s heart has always been you. You forgot that he was always by your side when you were injured. He had even guarded you. from that bitch. And who was by his side for so many years? Besides, even if you haven’t married into the Warner family yet, isn’t the Warner family heirloom still in your hands?”
After listening to her mother’s comforting words, Annie’s mood lifted a little. She took out a pure white jade pendant from the jewelry box.
This was the heirloom of the Warner family, and it was tradition to pass it down to the wife of the next generation’s head. This was something Jane had never gotten even though she was married to Drake.
“Mom, how long do we have to wait?” After calming down, Annie was no longer as anxious as before.
“Wait a minute. I heard that Courtney is back. Just wait for a while more and I will bring you to visit her.”
When it came to Courtney, Annie’s expression darkened. “Every time I go to see her, she always has a cold expression on her face. I don’t want to go.”
“If you want to enter the Warner family’s door, you have to pass her. As long as she nods, that alone is enough,” Heather comforted.
As the Carlton mother and daughter formed their plans, on the other side, Jane returned to work after resting. She attended the meeting on the first day.
At the meeting, Drake mentioned the previous cooperation with France. Apparently, their business partner invited them to communicate and discuss about continuing to cooperate and expand the market next year.
“I’ll bring someone with me on this trip to France.”
As soon as Drake’s words fell, Mya, who was sitting beside Jane, got excited.
When Jane saw that gleeful smile, she was speechless. This Mya really thought that the person who could accompany Drake on a business trip was her.
It was no wonder that Mya thought so. Before the meeting started, President Warner specially called her into the office and asked her to send in all the files about her previous

cooperation with France. cooperation.
Because Jane was sick at home, Mya was in charge of the cooperation.
As a result, Mya thought that it was her.
Jane looked away from Mya’s expectant gaze. It didn’t really matter to her. As long as the scumbag didn’t choose her than she didn’t care.
However, to her great disappointment, after the meeting, the person Drake named to accompany him on his business trip was her.
Hearing Jane’s name, those who knew about her identity were not at all surprised. The only one who could not accept it was Mya.
“President Warner, why not me? I’ve been the one to follow in the cooperation with France recently.” In a panic, Mya stood up and asked in disbelief.
Drake’s cold gaze swept towards Mya. “Are you questioning my arrangement?”
“I… don’t dare.” Under such cold gaze, even if she was unwilling, she could only endure it. Jane stood up and declared flatly, “I’m not going.”
“You can’t refuse. You’ll obey the company’s arrangements,” Drake coldly said and walked Out of the conference room.
Jane was displeased about this so she chased after him. She followed Drake into the office and then said coldly.
“I can’t go on a business trip. I have two children at home to take care of,” Jane explained straightforwardly.
However, Drake did not look up. “I have already sent your child to Maplewood Mansion. There are servants in the villa to take care of them.”
“Don’t worry, they have everything.”
Jane panicked when she heard that.
The first thought was that Drake wanted to detain her two children to threaten her.
“This business trip is not only about the cooperation there but also an investment. I need someone who understands French. Bringing an interpreter is a step too big and it might make the other party too vigilant.”
“When we get back from the business trip, I’ll send the children back to your house,” Drake added at last, aware of what she may be thinking.
Hearing such a rare explanation, Jane relaxed a little and did not say more.
Forget it. It would be better for the three little kids to get along with each other more, lest Zane be so defensive about Zachary now that he would not be able to accept it when he found out about the truth.
With this kind of thought in mind, Jane no longer rejected the business trip.
“Okay. How long will it take?”
“It’s not expected to exceed a week,” Drake answered.
“Also, we’re leaving soon. You don’t have to bring anything. I’ll have everything ready.”
Faced with the suddenness of the trip, she started to worry yet again. She still wanted to go home and explain to Zane and Zoe. It seemed that she ran out of time.
After leaving Drake’s office, Jane returned to her post and was about to bring some documents with her when Mya spoke up.
“Don’t think that it’s great opportunity that you can go on a business trip with President Warner. He already has a fiancee, so don’t try to seduce him while you’re on the business trip.”
Mya knew about Annie’s existence and this was what she regretted for a long time. If President Warner did not have a fiancee, she would definitely do everything in her to attract his attention.
power
However, even if she knew that Drake had a fiancee, Mya had never given up trying to get
close to him.
“Thank you for your reminder, but you should keep that to yourself,” Jane coldly replied.
It was not that she could not see Mya’s thoughtfulness. Perhaps it was a genuine warning.
However, she also knew that Mya was angry at her, and she was too lazy to care. After she packed up, she set off for the airport with Drake.
The two of them travelled in silence and finally arrived in France a few hours later. As soon as they landed, a luxury car picked them up and drove to their designated hotel. These itineraries were arranged in advance so Jane did not care too much.
On the first day in France, nothing much happened. Drake ordered her to rest well and returned to her room.
The next day, the two of them went to see their collaborator, Mr. Ford.
At the dinner, Mr. Ford introduced the two of them to meet the investor. Only then did Jane finally understood what Drake had meant about bringing an interpreter.
The investor had been whispering to the translator in local French and was trying to minimize the value given to Drake.
Jane really didn’t care much at first. In fact, she wanted to prevent Drake from making money. It would be best if he lost as much as possible.
However, she heard that the other party was going to use some unacceptable means to set them off. Jane could not bear it anymore and directly explained the other party’s plan to Drake.
