Chapter 68
The next day, Jane and Drake participated in the bidding together.
Jane’s plan was very reasonable, and the price was higher than that of any other offers. In Drake’s view, this was a winning bid. At this point, they were just waiting for the signing.
After the final result came out, Drake’s face sank.
The bidding project was won by the Holbrook Corporation, and the price given by the Holbrook Corporation seemed to be one million higher than their offer.
The bidding plans were all open to the public. Drake could be sure that Holbrook’s proposal was not as good as theirs. The only reason why they successfully won the bid was that they had paid the highest investment price.
When Jane saw that the project was won by the Holbrook Corporation, her expression was also very bad. The price she gave was already the highest price she had estimated. She didn’t expect for this price to still be exceeded. It was very strange.
Looking at Drake’s gloomy face, Jane knew that he must be angry.
“President Warner, Miss Bentley, long time no see.” Just then, Charles Holbrook, the CEO of the Holbrook Corporation, came up and greeted the two of them with a smile on his face.
“Ah, I stole an item that Boss Warner was interested in this time. I’m sorry,” Charles said. apologetically, but his face did not hide his gloating.
After so many years, he had finally defeated Drake once. How could he not rub it in his face?
“Holbrook’s plan is very general. If they can win the project, it’s all at the expense of President Holbrook.” Although he won the project, it was only because of a million. In Drake’s opinion, it was not very worthwhile as the profit margin wasn’t that large.
Drake’s expression was not good because Charles’s proud mouth made him very uncomfortable. This man didn’t know how to restrain himself that Drake was embarrassed
for him.
“It’s not really that important for me to lose a bit of money. The important thing is to be able to steal something from President Warner, but to be honest, I have to thank Miss Bentley for this one. If it wasn’t for Miss Bentley’s cooperation, how could I have been able to give a higher bidding price tow in this round?”
These words were very ambiguous. After Charles’s words, Drake looked at Jane coldly.
She was not stupid, and immediately replied coldly, “Mr. Holbrook, you are talking nonsense. I don’t know you well. What does you winning this bid have anything to do with
me?”
“Miss Bentley, you have really been abroad for too many years that you forgot about our past connection. Back then, when you were still in the Bentley family, we met each other. Our elders tried to set us up. It’s a pity Miss Bentley failed to take fancy in me,” Charles said lightly with a faint smile.
She also recalled what happened back then and indeed, it was as he said.

However, back then, she was all so focused on Drake and did not care about the other men arranged by her mother.
But in the end, though she married Drake as she wished, her mother also ended up passing
away.
Recalling the painful past, Jane’s expression became cold.
“It’s been too long, I forgot,” Jane replied coldly.
Charles didn’t care either. “Ah, well. It doesn’t matter if you forget it. I will remember it for
us.”
Hearing that, Jane looked at him coldly, not understanding what he meant, but Charles had already left with a smile.
Feeling the cold gaze from her side, Jane looked over met Drake’s piercing eyes.
Back at the company, Jane was called into the office by Drake. She thought that Drake was going to question her about the price but did not expect what he said instead.
“Your two children Charles‘?”
Jane was stunned.
She didn’t know how Drake’s brain grew to such a conclusion and actually ask such a question. Thinking about it, it was a bit funny.
“President Warner, this is my personal life. I don’t think it’s necessary for me report even this to you, right?”
Hearing Jane’s cold reply, Drake stepped forward and grabbed her chin, forcibly raising her face.
He said coldly: “Jane, did I indulge you too much when I let you play tricks on my back like this and give birth to two children for Charles behind my back? You are even capable of revealing the bidding price to him?”
“Drake, are you too imaginative? I’m not familiar with that Charles at all. There would be something wrong with me if I actually revealed the bidding price to him.” Jane struggled to get out of his grip all the while feeling embarrassed.
“Have you not met each other? You should have known each other a long time ago. The meaning of his words were all obviously pointing towards you. Back then, when you were able to go abroad quietly, he was probably the one who helped you!” Drake growled. There was a low air pressure around him, and his words held a strong sense of jealousy.
Being accused like this made Jane very angry. “Since you think I’m a pawn he arranged for you, you can fire me. But don’t you forget that it was you who insisted on letting me work here! Not me!”
Hearing this, Drake finally regained some sense of reason. Perhaps he might have rushed too quickly to a conclusion.
But he was still angry. “Then whose children are Zane and Zoe? Jaspers‘?”
Hearing Drake say Jasper’s name again, the expression on Jane’s face became even more uncomfortable.

“I said, this is my personal matter. There’s no need to report it to you.”
“Is it because of your guilty conscience, or because Zane and Zoe are really Charles‘ children?” Drake asked coldly.
Jane was stunned. “In the end, you still don’t believe me. You think that I disclosed the reserve price. If that’s the case, then let me prove my innocence.”
After she finished speaking, Jane slammed the door and left. However, as soon as she returned to her post, Mya came over to trouble her.
Mya had been looking Jane’s expression when she came out of the President’s office and felt a sense of satisfaction with it.
It seemed that her plan was a success.
“Some people are just over their heads and think that they can do anything if they have the looks, when in fact, they have no ability at all.”
“Slap!” As soon as Mya finished speaking, a resounding slap landed on her face.
Jane looked at her coldly. “Some people just don’t have a good memory. They have been taught countless times, but they still do not learn that some people can’t be provoked.”
Being slapped for the second time by Jane, Mya’s face twisted in anger as she glared and growled:
“Why the hell did you hit me?”
“My hand slipped. Who asked you chatter nonsense in front of me?”
“Was I wrong? How could the company lose to the Holbrook Corporation in this bid if it wasn’t for you?” Mya roared, face showing great resentment after being slapped by Jane yet again.
