Chapter 71
When Noelle returned, Zane had already left. As she looked around the room, she spotted Drake sitting at another table, which left her feeling puzzled and unsure.
“Cousin, why are you sitting over there?”
Drake’s mind wandered, but he quickly snapped back to reality and returned to his previous seat.
“You should be starting school in two days, right? When are you leaving?”
“Yeah, tomorrow’s flight,” Noelle replied.
“When I leave, it’ll be another semester before I can come back to the country. When are you and Annie planning to get married? I want to be the bridesmaid.”
“We’ll talk about it later,” Drake glanced at the window and answered without much. thought.
The wedding probably won’t take place!
Noelle, who happened to be related to Drake through his uncle, had a positive relationship with Annie. Despite the fact that everyone else tried to please Annie, Noelle was the only one who made any significant progress.
Because of this, Drake remained tight–lipped about the wedding plans.
“What do you mean by ‘later‘? Are you not planning to marry Annie soon?” Noelle exclaimed in shock.
“It’s an adult matter. Kids shouldn’t meddle in it. Focus on your studies,” Drake said with an
air of an elder.
“Hmph, I’m already an adult. I’m not a kid,” Noelle pouted. Her appearance made Drake involuntarily think of Zane from earlier, who warned him with a pout. They had a slight resemblance.
Noelle couldn’t extract any information from Drake even after finishing her meal, which left her feeling unfulfilled.
The next day, during a company meeting, Drake announced the dismissal of Mya Dumphy.
When Mya heard this judgment, she couldn’t believe it.
“Mr Warner, why are you firing me? What did I do wrong?”
“What did you do? Don’t you know?” Drake’s cold gaze swept over her.
Mya’s heart skipped a beat, but she still couldn’t accept it. “Mr Warner… I don’t understand. It was clearly Jane who made the mistake. Why are you firing me? Just because Jane is someone you arranged to be in the company, so you want to protect her?”
Upon hearing Mya’s desperate questioning, Drake’s face grew even darker, and his words were so cold that they sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
“I wanted to leave you some dignity, but since you don’t want it, there’s nothing more to say.” Then he turned around and said coldly, “Daniel, play the video.”

Instantaneously, a video materialised on the expansive screen, demonstrating Mya’s surreptitious filming of the course of Jane’s plan on her computer.
Seeing the video, Mya turned pale. She murmured, “This… this can’t be true. The video clearly…”
Mya covered her mouth, but she had already blurted out half of her words. The people in the meeting room weren’t fools; they immediately understood the whole story.
The atmosphere in the room became one of sympathy and guilt when everyone turned to look at Jane. They had misunderstood Jane because of Mya’s rumours.
Jane was surprised. She hadn’t had a chance to prove her innocence to Drake, so how did he have the video?
“Mr Warner, please spare me. I won’t dare to do it again… Mr Warner!”
Before Jane could regain her composure, Mya was already crying and pleading for mercy.
“Mr Warner, I was wrong. I really made a mistake. Please forgive me,” she said, then looked at Jane and begged, “Jane, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have looked at your project plan. Please help me talk to Mr Warner and ask him not to fire me!”
As Jane listened to Mya’s pleas, her expression turned cold, and she looked at Drake and said calmly.
“In addition to her, investigate the people in charge of the surveillance room as well. The surveillance records are such important evidence, but they can be deleted so easily. It shows that our company, Warner Corporation, is too careless.”
Upon hearing Jane’s refusal and her implication of Mya’s distant cousin who worked in the surveillance room, a look of embarrassment overtook Mya’s face.
Staring fiercely at Jane, she said, “Jane, how can you be so vicious? I’m the one who offended you. What right do you have to involve others?”
“Others? I think they’re your relatives, right? Otherwise, why would they help you delete the surveillance records?” Jane’s expression was indifferent as she faced Mya.
At this moment, Mya, like a shrew, began to hurl insults, saying extremely offensive words not only to Jane but to everyone present.
“Jane, you bitch, faceless! Knowing that Mr Warner has a fiancee but hooks him up, a faceless woman like you will be abandoned sooner or later.”
“I framed you, so what? You are a vixen who has no skills but wants to step on someone else’s head only with a good–looking face.
”
Mya’s words shocked everyone, not just Jane. She was like a shrew cursing in the street, using extremely vulgar language.
Drake’s face became even more terrifyingly dark. He coldly said to Daniel beside him, “Call the police. She stole company secrets, sold company data, and insulted and defamed others.”
“Yes, Mr Warner,” Daniel replied. He immediately dialled the police hotline.
Seeing that Drake was calling the police, Mya panicked. She knelt in front of Drake,

regretting her impulsive behaviour and how she insulted Jane.
Assuming that Jane and Mr Warner had a genuine relationship, any insult hurled at Jane would be tantamount to insulting Mr Warner as well.
“Take her out from here…” Drake watched Mya beg for mercy, his voice cold as he uttered those words.
As the security guards arrived, they quickly grabbed Mya and forcefully escorted her out, causing the previously bustling meeting room to abruptly fall silent.
“Everyone, leave. Jane, stay.”
Drake spoke again, and soon, there were only the two of them left in the meeting room.
The truth was revealed, and Jane had nothing else to say. She waited for Drake to speak and see what he would say.
“I misunderstood the bidding matter,” Drake broke the silence and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Jane’s expression remained calm. “Okay.”
“I clarified the truth for you, and all you say is ‘okay‘? Don’t you have any other response?” Drake’s frustration was evident.
“Isn’t that what you should do? You misunderstood me,” Jane rolled her eyes.
“Even if it’s proven that you didn’t leak the bidding price, it doesn’t mean that the twins. aren’t Charles‘,” Drake said.
The moment she heard what he had to say, Jane’s face contorted with anger and she didn’t even bother responding to him.
“Think whatever you want.”
“If you don’t want me to have wild thoughts, you can tell me who the father of Zane and Zoe is,” Drake pursued the question again.
His curiosity was piqued about the man who could raise such intelligent and lovely twins, Zane and Zoe.
Once he found that person, he would definitely… make them suffer!
“Sorry, I have nothing to say about that!” Jane stared at Drake and spoke word by word.
