Chapter 88
“Come, beautiful lady, this drink is for you.” April’s agreement prompted the man to approach her, and he raised his glass in a gesture of camaraderie.
As soon as Jane saw what was happening, she hurriedly went to pull April away. “You’ve had too much to drink, let me take you home.”
“Darling, I’m not drunk. I can still drink.” April struggled.
“Darling, since this beauty still wants to drink, you shouldn’t stop her. They say ‘drunkenness dispels a thousand worries.‘ I can cover the expenses for both of you tonight,” the man boldly said, his eyes fixed on April. He was brimming with confidence, but Jane saw through his ulterior motives, and decided not to let April drink with him since she was a little tipsy.
“No need, we have money. We don’t need you to pay.” Jane said, addressing the bartender directly.
“Check, please.” Seeing the Jane’s frustration, the bartender brought the bill over in hopes of defusing the situation. Unfortunately, the man was still unable to let it go.
“Here, I’ll pay for the two ladies.” Saying so, he took out his wallet. The bartender glanced at Jane and said calmly to the man, “Sir, the total is $14,000. How would you like to pay?”
“What? $14,000? Are you robbing me?” The man was shocked to hear the price on the bill.
The bartender coldly replied, “The ladies were drinking imported brands, and each bottle costs in the thousands.”
As the bartender spoke, there was a tinge of disdain in his voice. It was clear to him that the man had bad intentions, and he knew that the two ladies could handle themselves, even though they were ordering pricey drinks.
The man’s face flushed with embarrassment, yet he held the wallet firmly in his grasp. He wrestled with his conscience, knowing that not paying for the expensive alcohol would make him look cheap, but he couldn’t bring himself to drink it.
Jane remained unfazed as she watched the man make a fool of himself, instead reaching for her card and handing it to the bartender.
“Credit card.”
With a hint of disdain, the bartender took Jane’s card and shot a quick glance at the man.
Jane settled the bill and headed out of the door with April by her side. She turned around, but the man from before was nowhere to be seen he had left in embarrassment.
As Jane was attempting to support the intoxicated April by calling a taxi, a pair of large hands suddenly grabbed April and pulled her away.
Jane looked at the man who appeared out of nowhere, and was momentarily frozen by his strikingly handsome face, which made it difficult for her to determine his gender.
“It’s you!” Jane blurted out, looking at Matthew with surprise.
When Matthew looked at Jane, he saw the distance in her eyes and felt a pang of sadness.

“I’m taking her with me.” Matthew spoke, his words cold.
“No, she’s drunk. I have to take her home,” Jane said, even though she knew that the in front of her was the one April had been longing for, the one she wanted to love but couldn’t. Due to April’s state of intoxication, Jane refused to give her over to Matthew.
“I’m taking her, you can’t stop me,” Matthew said coldly.
person
As the words reached her ears, Jane’s anger began to simmer. Despite their initial differences, she found herself drawing comparisons between Matthew and Drake as she witnessed his cold, unyielding nature.
“You know very well that this is not what she wants.”
Jane resigned herself to the man’s actions and spoke in a cold tone.
Upon hearing this, Matthew paused for a moment, but responded indifferently. “If it’s what I want, that’s enough.”
He didn’t waste any time after speaking; he lifted the intoxicated April and walked away. leaving Jane behind. Jane moved to stop him again, but his driver cut in and obstructed her path.
“Miss, please don’t make it difficult for me.”
Jane was left standing alone, watching as Matthew whisked April away in the car, leaving her feeling powerless.
She tried to shake off the feeling of unease, hoping that her worries were unfounded.
As they disappeared from sight, Jane’s heart sank. All she could do was whisper a prayer April’s well–being.

Several men suddenly rushed out and surrounded Jane just as she was about to leave alone.
Jane put two and two together and realised that the leader of the group, who had offered to buy them drinks earlier, was now holding a grudge against her.
“What do you want?” Jane asked coldly.
The man looked at Jane with an arrogant expression. “Nothing much, just wanted to invite you, my darling, for a drink.”
“And if I refuse?” Jane asked coldly, glancing around to see if there were any cameras nearby.
“You’d better think twice before speaking, beauty. We don’t have any ulterior motives. We just want to invite you for a drink. It’s better if you don’t force us to take action,” the man sneered.
“Take action? You can try,” Jane remained calm and had already prepared herself.
The man approached Jane with malicious intent, but before he could act, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows and delivered a swift, powerful kick that sent him flying.
Jane raised her gaze to meet the eyes of Drake, who had turned to look at her.
“Your taste has really lowered, if even this kind of person catches your eye,” Jane retorted coldly, not backing down.

“Hmph, it’s true that it has nothing to do with me. But, since you are still my wife in name, and even if you have ho shame, I still have to care,” Drake replied.
“I’m perfectly capable of handling this on my own,” Jane said, her tone icy as she surveyed the men’s companions.
As Mr Smith stood up with his men’s help, his eyes communicated hostility towards him.
“Teach them a lesson for me.” Mr Smith’s voice was cold and ruthless.
But in the next moment, Jane’s figure flew out, delivering a side kick that knocked one of them down.
Jane’s unexpected move left the remaining men stunned and unsure of how to react. Several men approached, but in the blink of an eye, Jane had taken them down, leaving Drake stunned.
How much about this woman did he not know?
After knocking down the men, Jane clapped her hands and coldly addressed Mr Smith.
“Hmph, no money and no abilities, yet you dare to act all high and mighty.”
Jane spoke and then quickly departed, leaving Drake standing alone.
Drake caught up to Jane, his hand outstretched, but she shook her head and stepped away from him.
“Mr Warner, don’t you anything else to do? I need some space,” Jane said in a straightforward manner, “so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t follow me.” If they were going to go their separate ways, it would be best to cleanly cut ties.
Drake’s frustration with Jane’s cold attitude grew as he took an invitation card from his pocket and handed it to her. “My mother’s birthday banquet is in three days. She has invited you.”
Jane was taken aback to learn that the invitation was from his mother, as they had not really spoken in years. Jane had no complaints about her current mother–in–law, but she didn’t believe she was the kind of person who enjoyed extravagant birthday celebrations.
“If I go, won’t it be awkward for Annie? Are you happy to invite me?” Jane asked. Drake had never taken her to any public events before. This was the first time he had invited her, and Jane’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Three days later, Jane stepped into the Warners‘ ancestral home with her adorable twins. This was a place she rarely set foot in as the former Jane.
