Chapter 94
In the end, Jane reluctantly accepted the necklace but planned to return an equivalent gift to the person as a reciprocal gesture.
Upon returning to the company, she immediately brought a pile of cooperative data materials to Drake’s office.
Drake didn’t even lift his head but simply said to Jane, “I sent you a document to your phone. Take a look, and see if you have received it.”
Hearing this, Jane took out her phone from her pocket, and coincidentally, the necklace she had put in her pocket fell out onto the floor.
The necklace was inside a box, and when Drake heard something fall, he looked up and saw the familiar box in Jane’s hand.
He quickly stood up and snatched it from her. “What are you doing!” Jane shouted angrily.
Ignoring Jane’s words, Drake picked up his phone, opened his social media feed, and searched for a photo, which happened to be the exact image of the box that Jane dropped.
He then opened the box, revealing a beautiful necklace that was exactly the same as in the photo.
Drake coldly asked, “Where did this come from?”
Facing Drake’s questioning, Jane snatched the item back and replied coldly, “What does it have to do with you?”
“How dare you secretly accept gifts from other men? Do you not understand your identity and position…”
“What is my identity? My position? You want to say that I’m your wife, right? So I should stay away from all other men, remain pure for you, and endure your inappropriate relationships with other women?”
“Drake, I’m genuinely curious, what makes you think I would accept such an unfair marriage?”
With a cold expression on her face, Jane walked out of Drake’s office, still seething with anger. However, she soon received a message from Drake, asking her to accompany him to meet a client.
Jane felt frustrated, but she had no choice but to follow along.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Jane took her seat without saying a word, consumed by her own grievances. Out of anger, she completely ignored everyone and focused on enjoying her meal.
When Drake saw this, he didn’t say anything either. He simply engaged in business discussions with the client, occasionally glancing at Jane, which the observant client noticed.
“The assistant that President Warner brought this time is very beautiful!”
The client suddenly shifted the conversation to Jane, causing Drake’s eyebrows to furrow

slightly as he responded lightly.
“President Smith must be joking. The person beside you is the real beauty.”
The female assistant who had accompanied Mr. Smith was also very good–looking. The Austrian lady’s figure was quite eye–catching, too. However, Drake was not one of her admirers.
“Hey, when conducting business with Mr. Warner, it’s only appropriate to bring someone suitable, am I right? She’s the most capable assistant I have. If you are interested, you can give it a try.”
Meanwhile, Jane was indulging her anger and frustrations in food and didn’t hear the two men already shifting the conversation to her.
Mr. Smith’s female assistant eagerly looked at Drake.
Compared to President Smith, Drake’s appearance could be said to be extremely good. Such a man was almost irresistible to any woman.
“Mr. Warner, let me pour you a drink.”
The female assistant eagerly stood up to pour some wine for Drake, revealing a captivating amount of cleavage when bending down.
Jane happened to raise her head and couldn’t help but be amazed by the intentionally exposed fair skin.
As expected, he was truly a scumbag, not even focusing on work and still trying to flirt with women. How dare he question her?
“Miss Bentley, I heard that you’re in charge of the cooperation between the Warner Corporation and the Holbrook Corporation, and you are also responsible for the connection with the French side. I didn’t expect such a young lady like you to be so capable. I toast to Miss Bentley.”
While Jane’s gaze fell on Drake and the female assistant, Mr. Smith, who was sitting beside her, approached Jane unnoticed, and offered a toast.
Jane didn’t take Mr. Smith’s compliments seriously, but she maintained her politeness, as she still had the proper courtesy.
“You are too kind, President Smith. I can’t compare to your capable assistant.”
Her gaze unintentionally shifted to the assistant sitting next to Mr. Smith, who was now drinking with Drake. Jane’s words contained an underlying meaning.
“Here, I’ll toast to Miss Bentley again.” Mr. Lin offered her another glass of wine.
-Helpless in the situation, Jane accepted the glass and emptied it in one gulp. Mr. Smith
wanted to continue drinking with her, but Jane declined.
Mr. Smith didn’t insist and turned to Drake, saying, “Mr. Warner, I’ll be the host for a while. How about we go to Heaven on Earth together?”
‘Heaven on Earth‘ was the largest entertainment club in the city, and Jane had heard of it as a place where the upper class gathered, but it was her first time there.
“If you’re interested; of course, I’ll accompany you.“
Chapter 94
Brake replied casually while his gaze fell on Jane, who had flushed cheeks from drinking.
After the dinner was over, the group went to Heaven on Earth. Jane didn’t like such places, but Drake seemed familiar with it. Jane couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
Upon entering, they were greeted by a magnificent and splendid hall. Once they entered the upscale private room, Mr. Smith’s assistant took off her coat, revealing her
well–proportioned figure.
Mr. Smith sat on the leather sofa with a smile, while the assistant went to select songs.
Jane didn’t enjoy this type of environment, but Drake, on the other hand, comfortably sat on the sofa. Seeing this, Jane couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
Sure enough, he was a scumbag. He probably came here often!
Before long, the waiter brought the wine. President Smith stood up again and poured a toast for Jane while Drake sat nearby, seemingly ignoring them.
Jane was not happy about it, but Mr. Smith had not done anything excessive. He had simply offered her a drink, and she couldn’t make a scene, so she reluctantly accepted the glass and drank.
After a few drinks, Jane said that she had drunk too much and would not drink anymore.
“Her alcohol tolerance is low. Next time, I’ll bring someone who can handle it to drink more with you, Mr. Smith,” Drake finally spoke up to defend Jane.
Mr. Smith let Jane off the hook and took the microphone to show off his singing skills. Drake sat on the sofa calmly, with his legs crossed. Mr Smith’s assistant came over to offer him a drink again, but he didn’t refuse.
Jane narrowed her eyes and looked at Drake coldly, secretly cursing him as a scoundrel!
As time passed, everyone became a bit tipsy and prepared to leave. Mr. Smith’s assistant approached with a glass of wine.
“Miss Bentley, I’ll give you a toast. Mr. Smith said that you are talented and outstanding. I look forward to working with you in the future,” Seeing the drink offered by the assistant, Jane thought that she hadn’t drunk anything since the beginning of the gathering. If she refused to drink now, it would be too disrespectful, so she accepted the glass and clinked it with the assistant before downing it in one gulp.
The party was over, and they all left the private room. During this time, Drake went to the restroom, and the female assistant followed. Jane wanted to go as well, but Mr. Smith stopped her.
“Miss Bentley, let me drop you home.”
“No need, Mr. Smith,” As he approached, Jane felt uncomfortable, especially with his obvious leering. It made her feel very uneasy.
