Chapter 74
When the man met Jane’s cold stare, his heart raced with fear, and he thought twice before reacting. Released by Jane, the woman shoved past the man and made a beeline towards Jane, ready to attack.
Jane was taken by surprise when the man crashed into her from behind, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground. Immediately, the three adorable kids ran to her side, anxiously asking, “Mommy, are you okay?”
However, Zac’s attention was on the man and the woman. “You dare lay a hand on our pretty teacher. I won’t let you get away with it!”
“You brat, what did you say?” The woman, upon hearing Zac’s words, became furious and raised her hand to strike him.
Seeing this, Jane quickly stood up and shielded Zac, while Theo, who was beaten and bruised, hurriedly stood in front of his mother.
“Mom, let it go. You can’t hit him,” Theo pleaded.
“Son, don’t be afraid. Mom will take care of this. It was this brat who hit you, and I’ll teach him a lesson,” the woman pushed Theo and raised her hand, ready to strike Zac.
Theo blocked his mother again and quickly said, “Mom, he is Zac. You can’t hit him.”
“Zac? So what? What’s wrong with Zac, that illegitimate bastard? Even if he dares to hit my son, I won’t let him off,” the woman continued to curse, not realising the significance of Theo’s words.
“Who are you calling illegitimate?” Drake’s cold voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone present to shiver.
Zac looked at the late arrival, Drake, with a displeased expression and spoke up unhappily.” “Why are you here so late? Your son was nearly bullied to death.”
Drake walked over and gently tapped Zac’s forehead. “Who dares to bully you?”
“They… she called me an illegitimate child, and she also insulted Zoe and Zane,” Zac pointed his finger at Theo’s mother.
Drake’s gaze swept coldly over her, exuding a terrifying pressure.
“Who did you call illegitimate?” Drake looked at the woman, his eyes cold.
“Hmph, aren’t you that woman’s lover? Then what are your children if not illegitimate?” The woman retorted angrily, not realising the inappropriateness of her words.
However, upon seeing Drake, Harold, who was next to her, became terrified and his legs went weak as he stuttered, “Mr Warner! You are the CEO of Warner Corporation!”
Harold stepped forward and stood in front of the woman, hoping that he had made a mistake. But after taking a clear look, his heart turned to ashes. It really was Mr Warner!
“What audacity you have? How dare you call my child illegitimate!” Drake coldly said to the man who recognised him.
“Mr Warner, it’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding.” Harold quickly replied.

Chapter 74
Seeing her husband trembling with fear, the woman became displeased. “What do you mean, Harold? Our son was beaten, and you’re kissing his ass. Have you no backbone?”
“Shut up!” Harold turned around and sternly reprimanded the woman.
“Harold, how dare you scold me? I’ve been married to you for so many years, given birth to children for you, and yet you have the nerve to scold me, you bastard…” The woman’s face instantly changed upon being scolded, and she began to cry and yell.
“Shut up!” With a loud slap, Harold’s hand struck the woman’s face, the sound echoing throughout the surroundings.
Everyone present was stunned.
The woman widened her eyes, incredulously staring at the man. After a moment of shock, she started crying and screaming.
“Harold, you bastard! How dare you hit me? Our son was bullied, and you hit me. You’re such a useless coward! Today, I’ll fight you to the end!”
The woman raged, clawing at Harold’s face.
“You useless man, if it weren’t for Theo, I would have divorced you a long time ago. How dare you hit me!”
“Stop it, please stop.” Theo, with tears streaming down his face, pulled at both of them. Suppressing his anger, Harold forcefully pulled the woman’s arms away and whispered angrily in her ear. “Are you blind? That’s Drake, the CEO of Warner Corporation! If you offend him, we won’t be able to live.”
“Drake?” The woman paused for a moment, then suddenly realised the truth, her pupils widening.
“He is Drake?” The woman was shocked and stole a glance at Drake, confirming that it was indeed him. She panicked even more.
“What do we do, husband? What do we do now?” The woman became jittery and anxious.
She hadn’t expected to accidentally provoke the city’s biggest overlord.
“Husband, let’s run away,” the woman grabbed Harold’s hand and whispered.
“Run? How can we run? Do you think you can escape? Once Drake investigates, he will dig up everything about our family, what we ate last night, when was the last time we paid a bill, nothing escapes him,” Harold said with frustration.
“What do we do now?” The woman was completely panicked.
“You go over there and apologise to them,” Harold said.
Reluctant, the woman complained, “Why should I? Why should I apologise to them again and again?”
Feeling annoyed by the woman’s attitude, Drake’s face turned dark.
