No Way Back

Chapter 408

Was it not Jane who told him about this? © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Back then, Jane and Micheal were the only two individuals in the teahouse.

How could anyone else know about this?

“Who the *******could it be?”

A person flashed across Micheal’s mind.

Chester Laton!

Chester was the only person who knew that Micheal was meeting Jane, as well as what they were going to talk about.

But it seemed unlikely.

Chester had no reason to do such a thing.

Jack also had no reason to deceive Micheal on this matter.

Perhaps this matter should be put aside for the time being.

Micheal decided to get his thoughts in order and started explaining himself.

“Jack, I saw you arguing with Jane back then. After that, I told my wife about what

happened between you and Jane. We both acknowledge Jane’s ability and feel sorry for this

child.”

“Of course, I was just casually mentioning this matter to Jane Fowler. My original intention was to help you improve your relationship with Jane. Jack, Jane has already severed all ties with the Fowler family. Now that things have come to this, if Jane becomes my goddaughter, I can slowly persuade her to forgive you and return to the Fowler family. Isn’t that a good thing?”

Micheal’s words made sense. There was nothing wrong with his theory.

However, the fact that Micheal had done what he had done made it impossible for Jack to

remain calm.

“**********you, Micheal Laton! I don’t care what your reason is, but I’m warning you! Don’t come close to my daughter again! And don’t mention anything about making her your goddaughter again!”

“No matter what, Jane is still my biological daughter. The blood of the Fowler family runs through her veins. No matter how strained the relationship between Jane and the Fowler family becomes, it’s still none of your business! I’ll believe you this time on the account that we’ve been friends for more than 20 years. I appreciate your kindness, but I’m warning you, you’d better not do anything like that.”

“Don’t worry about that. Jane has already rejected me and she made it very clear that she won’t be my goddaughter.”

Micheal’s words were reassuring enough.

Jack hung up.

The line went dead.

Micheal held his phone tightly. Then, he turned around and smashed it on the ground.

The screen shattered.

He could understand why Jack’s exasperation after finding out about this.

But how dare the Fowler family behave in this manner?

The Crown Group led by Micheal was naturally stronger than Fowler Corporation.

No matter what, Crown Group was once a top corporation on par with D.Y. Group!

What right did Jack have to hang up the phone sò abruptly? What right did he have to shout at Micheal and show him such attitude?

Micheal thought to himself, “The pair of father and daughter are indeed related. They are the same. They are so rude and annoying.”

Meanwhile, at the Fowler family, Jack heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that Jane had rejected Micheal’s request. “Anna, you heard that? Jane rejected it!”

“That’s good… That’s good…”

Anna patted her chest in relief.

The stern expression on her face instantly disappeared.

If Jane had really agreed to become Micheal’s goddaughter…

Anna’s heart would have shattered.

After all, things would not look good for the Fowler family if Jane had acceded to Micheal’s

request.

It would look like the Fowler family forced such a talented daughter away due to their

schemes.

Consequently, Jane ran away to join Crown Group because she did not want to be affiliated with the Fowler family anymore.

Deep down, Anna knew that she had no right to regret her own actions.

She was also ***prepared that Jane would never forgive the Fowler family.

However, when she was really confronted with the fact that her biological daughter could potentially become someone else’s daughter and get taken advantage of by them, she found herself unable to accept it.

It was something that no one could tolerate.

“If only I could talk to Jane again. Jack, after this incident, I realized that not only have we wronged Jane, but we also don’t want her to become involved with other families… This will make my heart ache! My heart will shatter into a million pieces!”

Anna bit her bottom lip as she expressed her heartfelt emotions.

“Anna…”

When Jack saw Anna in this state, he could not help but think of how Jane had humiliated him that night.

Jack did not have the strength left to fight back.

The last time he had managed to trick Jane into coming to the hospital to visit Anna was due to pure luck.

This time, it would certainly be exceedingly difficult if they wanted to get Jane to talk to them again.

Jack loved his wife as much as his own life. But even when he saw Anna’s sad expression, he could not bring himself to promise that he could definitely persuade Jane to come and talk to them again.

In the living room, Johan and the others were waiting anxiously.

Madelyn stood in the corner without saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking.

Madelyn secretly hoped that Jane would become Micheal’s goddaughter, but at the same time, she did not want things to reach that point.

If Jane really became Micheal’s goddaughter, she would attract a lot of attention from the Fowler family.

As long as the Fowler family was busy dealing with their internal strife, there would be no one left to watch over Madelyn. This would make it easier for her to take advantage of the

situation.

In the past few months, Madelyn had thought of selling some family secrets to Chester Laton in exchange for money.

However, Johan, Aaron, and Quinton pushed aside all of their work and stayed home to take care of Anna.

Madelyn had also realized that they were increasingly starting to lose trust in her.

As a result, it was more difficult for Madelyn to obtain any information compared to before.

On the other hand, if Jane didn’t become Micheal’s goddaughter, Madelyn wouldn’t feel so

jealous.

Just as Madelyn was lost in her own thoughts, Jack pushed Anna’s wheelchair into the living

room.

Aaron quickly asked, “Dad, Mom, how is everything?”

“Jane rejected Micheal and she didn’t become his goddaughter.”

Jack said happily.

Hearing this, Johan and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

To them, the thought of Jane joining another family was worse than death.

Madelyn rolled her eyes.

An indescribable feeling arose in her heart.

She did not know if she was happy or sad.

Madelyn thought to herself, “Forget it. It’s a good thing that Jane did not become Micheal’s goddaughter. This way, my status would still surpass Jane’s.”

“I am still the only daughter in the Fowler family.”

“As for the right opportunity… I will wait slowly. There will definitely be one!”

“Alright, let’s go to Cloudnine Restaurant to eat something delicious tonight. It’s been a long time since we went out to eat together. Today, I’ll treat!” Anna said.

“Okay!”

Madelyn gazed at the blissful smile on Anna’s face.

At that moment, the happiness in Anna’s expression was too blinding for Madelyn’s eyes.

No one even noticed Madelyn leave the living room.

It was as if Madelyn had become invisible.

Madelyn hid in the toilet. She gritted her teeth in hatred and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Mommy… As expected, even you have changed… In your heart, I’ve become nothing more than Jane’s substitute.”

“You’re so happy that Jane didn’t become the heiress of Crown Group. You’re so happy that you’ve completely ignored my existence!”

The only person who could comfort Madelyn now was Chester.
