Jane approached and immediately saw the extremely inappropriate pair at a glance, especially when Amy referred to him as “brother–in–law“.
Upon hearing those words, Jane couldn’t help but shudder. When she looked at Amy’s sweet and affectionate eyes, she felt an overwhelming desire to drown Drake in them.
But with just one glance, Jane retracted her gaze and walked past the two of them without looking sideways.
When Drake saw this, his heart sank and he felt extremely frustrated. In the past, whenever Jane saw him with another woman, she would be upset for a long time, but now she avoided him as if she had seen something dirty.
This change was difficult for Drake to accept.
“Brother–in–law…” Amy’s sweet and greasy voice sounded in his ears again. Only then did Drake finally come back to his senses, looking at the woman in his arms with a feeling of disgust.
Then he let go of her hand and distanced himself from her.
Amy didn’t understand that Drake was intentionally putting on a show for Jane. She continued to look at him with a seductive expression.
“Brother–in–law, why did you hug me just now?”
Seeing Amy like this, Drake knew that she must have misunderstood.
“I slipped,“he offered an explanation and turned away without further ado.
Although he left, Amy continued to watch his retreating figure, her face filled with pink bubbles, and her heart followed Drake.
Little did Drake realize that because of these gestures today, it would bring him great trouble later on. But that’s a story for another day.
Meanwhile, Jane returned to the Banquet hall. watching the lively crowd, which was ringing with Courtney’s laughter. Looking over, she saw that the three adorable kids who had just finished their performance, were surrounded by people.
The two boys were dressed in small suits, handsome and charming, resembling little adults, while the girl was exquisitely beautiful, with a pair of big twinkling eyes, like a fairy that had descended to earth.
The three of them standing together were truly a beautiful sight in the banquet hall, and everyone couldn’t help but feel tender towards them.
Courtney also had a rare smile on her face as she praised the three of them, she was familiar with Zane and Zoe, and she also liked them very much..
However, this kind of love was based on the premise that Courtney didn’t know Zoe and Zane were Jane’s children.
Soon, Charles also appeared in the sight of the crowd, causing quite a stir.
Many of the young ladies present there today were from wealthy families. Compared to

Drake who was already married, a bachelor like Charles was still very attractive, especially when the Holbrook Corporation ranked second only to the Warner Corporation.
As time passed, the banquet came to an end. But Jane didn’t dare leave with the two adorable kids, and Charles took the initiative to approach her. They left the Warner family’s old mansion together.
At the door, Charles offered to see Jane off, but Jane refused. “No need to bother, I will be driving back.”
“Last time, you said that you wanted to invite me to dinner. How about today?” Charles didn’t want to miss the opportunity to spend time with Jane, and brought up their previous agreement.
“Now?” Jane looked at the dark sky. The two cute children had already been sent home by Zachary’s driver, and she wanted to go back and accompany her two children.
“Isn’t it convenient for you, Jane?”
“It’s really inconvenient for her.” Before Jane could answer, Drake’s voice rang out from a distance, and soon, his figure approached them.
Standing in front of Jane, Drake reached out and clasped her waist, asserting his dominance as he looked at Charles.
“She is my wife. How can she have dinner alone with another man?”
Upon hearing his words, Jane coldly pushed his hand away, while Charles remained calm. “Mr Warner, it seems that you have never publicly acknowledged Miss Bentley’s identity. That is also the case today.”
Charles‘ words carried a hint of ridicule, implying that although Drake claimed Jane Bentley as his wife, he had never publicly acknowledged her, indicating that her status as a wife was not highly regarded.
What Charles said was true, and Jane did not buy it, either. After forcefully pushing away Drake’s hand, she said coldly.
“A mistaken marriage contract is irrelevant to me, and I believe it’s the same for you, Mr. Warner. So, please stop bringing up that piece of paper in the future.”
Jane’s indifference plunged Drake’s face into a deep gloom. “I know you said those hurtful words because I was too close to your sister just now. I can assure you that in the future.
“You’re overthinking, Mr. Warner. It’s your freedom to have associations with any woman you want. Please refrain from interfering in my normal social interactions with others,” Jane interrupted.
After saying that, Jane couldn’t be bothered to pay any more attention to Drake and turned around to leave. Watching Jane’s graceful figure as she walked away. Drake’s expression darkened.
On the other hand, when Charles saw this, he secretly rejoiced. “Apparently, Drake, you are really becoming more and more infatuated. Having one wife is not enough; and you’re still flirting with other women. No wonder Jane doesn’t like you anymore.”
Hearing Charles’s sarcastic words, Drake’s already unhappy mood became even more

somber as he coldly looked at Charles.
“Even if she doesn’t like me now, she once loved me passionately, unlike you, who has been rejected from the beginning,” Drake retorted coldly.
Charles‘ expression darkened slightly because of Drake’s words, images of being rejected by Jane flashing through his mind. More accurately, he wasn’t rejected by Jane; she had always treated him with indifference from the start.
“If she didn’t like me before, it doesn’t mean that she won’t like me in the future.”
“Stop being delusional. Even without me, she wouldn’t like you.” Drake replied icily.
Charles was infuriated at Drake’s words, while Drake simply turned around and left.
The next day, Jane received a gift from Charles: a beautifully crafted necklace.
Jane immediately returned the item to Charles, but he insisted on giving it to her.
“I saw you wearing that dress yesterday, and it was enchanting. It was missing a necklace that complemented it. If you wear this, you will undoubtedly look stunning. Please accept
it.”
“Unmerited rewards are not necessary, and besides, we are only in a business relationship. I cannot accept your gift,” Jane firmly rejected him once again.
“I thought we were already considered friends,” Charles suddenly sounded a bit saddened, clearly bothered by Jane’s statement that they were only in a business relationship.
Noticing the situation, Jane nodded in agreement. “Yes, we are friends.”
“In that case, why can’t you accept a gift from a friend?”
“Well…” Jane couldn’t exactly say that she knew he was interested in her, but she wasn’t interested in him. That’s why she didn’t want to accept his gift.
“Or is it because you’re afraid that Drake will find out, so you dare not accept it?” Charles changed the subject, bringing up Drake.
Jane instantly frowned, “I have no relationship with him, so why should I be afraid of him finding out?”
“Since that’s the case, you can just accept it.
Consider it a birthday present from a friend,” Charles insisted.
“But my birthday hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Then I’m giving it to you in advance. Is that not allowed?” Charles said casually.
