No Way Back

Chapter 409

Madelyn updated Chester about the outcome via text and waited for his reply.

After a while, he replied.

“Don’t think too much, Maddie. Anyway, you’ve already said your piece. This way, no matter what happens next, it won’t have anything to do with you.”

“Chester… My heart aches…”

Madelyn was just about to send that message and confide in the person she loved.

Suddenly, her fingertips trembled.

She ended up deleting the message.

She could not let Chester know that her position in the Fowler family was in danger. She could not compare to Jane at all!

If Chester found out about it, their relationship would be severely affected.

No matter what, Chester Laton and Madelyn Fowler had started out to make use of each other! Because Madelyn Fowler was the Fowler family’s most favored daughter!

“Okay… I got it,” she replied.

The Fowler family had plans to go to Cloudnine Restaurant for dinner.

Anna and Jack finished the tea and cake that Quinton had personally prepared for them earlier. After replenishing their energy slightly, they planned to return to their rooms to rest.

The company was in good hands under Peter’s management for now. They sent Peter a message, informing him that they would gather at Cloudnine Restaurant tonight.

Johan went to the balcony and lit a cigarette. After taking a deep puff, he rubbed his swollen temples.

“Smoking is bad for your health, Johan.”

Aaron walked up to Johan.

“I know, but this is the only thing that can make me feel better now.”

Johan smiled bitterly, took another deep breath, and stubbed out the cigarette.

Suddenly, he frowned and held his head with a painful expression.

*Johan, are you alright? Do you have a headache? Did you not sleep well last night?”

“It’s nothing.”

Johan shook his head.

Last night, Johan had started dreaming again.

It was not like when he had first obtained Signy’s amulet and slept through the night peacefully, without any dreams.

Moreover, the dream that Johan had was very strange.

He was surrounded by a thick fog.

His body could not move at all.

Only a shrill laughter could be heard.

The laughter reminded him of the disappointment he felt with others, his disdain for himself, and the despair he felt about life.

For some inexplicable reason, Johan felt like the person behind the laughter was no other than…

Jane Fowler.

However, it did not completely belong to Jane Fowler.

There were also other voices that made Johan’s heart race.

It was the voices of the Fowler family members.

One word lingered in Johan’s mind.

It was the word, “Regret”.

What exactly happened after that dream?

Why was Jane not the only person who felt regretful?

Why did the Fowlers feel the same?

If there really was a parallel world, Jane would be dead, and the Fowlers would feel nothing but hatred toward her. They would all feel that Jane was a jinx, and her death would only bring happiness to the rest of them.

Why would they feel regretful?

Could it be that the same things in this world had happened in that parallel world?

The dream lasted only a short time, for about twenty minutes.

Then, Johan woke up.

Sometimes he would get a headache after having those dreams.

Johan’s sixth sense told him that the amulet was about to lose its effect.

Johan messaged asked Signy to ask if there was any way to stop himself from having such dreams.

Signy replied saying that she could not do anything for him right now. She had to return to the national library in Yalondy to check if there was any way to help Johan with his nightmares.

Johan told Signy to do her best.

So many things had happened.

Johan’s atheism had begun to crumble.

At the same time, Johan began to wonder about the subsequent plot of the dream.

Even if this would be a torture to Johan’s ********state, he still wanted to know.

What Johan wanted to know was what happened after Dwayne broke Jane’s memorial tablet.

What could possibly happen?

Why did the new dream make Johan feel such bone-chilling desolation?

“To be honest, Johan, when I first heard about this from Madelyn, I thought that Jane would agree to become the heiress of Crown Group.”

“She has no reason to refuse. Crown Group is on a higher level than Fowler Corporation. Moreover, if she had agreed to it, it would be much easier for her to seek revenge on the Fowler family. Surely, Jane knows how much pain and agony it would cause our family.”

Aaron leaned against the balcony railing and looked up at white ****in the blue sky. The wind gently mussed his hair, and his eyes sparkled. His voice became excited.

“Hey, Johan, do you think… Could it be that Jane rejected the proposal because she doesn’t want to have kinship anymore? Or could it be that she actually still cares about our family because we are her biological brothers!”

“It’s precisely because father and the others had done too many wrong things to Jane that she has given up on kinship. Even so, Jane did not choose to make us suffer by becoming Mr. Laton’s goddaughter. If… I mean if… we tried our best to get Jane back…”

“Aaron, I know that it’s necessary for everyone to have a goal in their life. Only then will there be motivation to fight. However, too much unnecessary hope will only bring more pain to yourself. You have to understand this.”

Before Aaron could finish, Johan interrupted him coldly.

He did not want to give Aaron any false hope.

Because in this matter… Johan could not see any hope at all.

Not even a little bit.

In fact, they had tried their best. On that rainy night, they had knelt in front of Jane’s apartment to beg for forgiveness. Even Jack himself had knelt before Jane.

Even so, he still couldn’t change Jane’s mind.

All he got in return was Jane’s merciless and endless humiliation.

If Aaron started to harbor false hope, it would only lead to greater despair.

After experiencing such a ********reality, Johan couldn’t comfort Aaron or cheer him on.

“Yes, Johan, you’re right. Jane will never forgive us for what we’ve done to her. The only reason she didn’t become Mr. Laton’s goddaughter was because she didn’t need a family

anymore.

“At that time, we saw it on the live broadcast. Yale doted on Jane very much and gave her everything that he could in this world. That was something that she would never have been able to experience as our sister. Also, during Christmas, Jane already had someone else by her side…”

At that time, Jane was smiling so happily.

Aaron still remembered Jane’s confident, warm, and bright smile. It was a smile that could only come from someone who had everything in life.

And they had done nothing to contribute to Jane’s happiness.

The Fowlers could only stand aside like clowns.

Compared to the happiness that Jane had…

The Fowlers were all wearing masks that covered their agony.

Aaron said these words with great heartache. He exhaled and raised his head, trying his best not to let his tears fall.

His heart felt like it was being cut into pieces.

Unknowingly, negative emotions swept through Aaron’s entire body like a nightmare and created a buzzing sensation. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

He could not break free from those feelings.
