Chapter 11 Incomparable
Peter was indeed upset when Jane left without a greeting.
“Peter, your sister is leaving. Aren’t you going to say hi to her? We came to her rescue after all.”
Larry Shane thought that Jane Fowler would have taken care of Cameron and his goons on her own without much effort when she landed that marvelous kick.
Furthermore, Nightshade Bar was under the protection of his brother.
There were no doubts that they had the top security system.
Their stepping up did not help much in that situation.
“Ignore her!”
Peter was indeed upset.
“Jane! Oh, Jane! Are you serious about cutting ties with the Fowlers now?”
“Well, as you like it!”
“Okay!”
Larry tried to muffle a laugh.
Peter hated Jane and worried that she would covet Madelyn Fowler’s position in the family. That was why he ignored Jane in the first place.
Why would he step up to help her when Cameron Croft and his goons harassed her?
He indeed had a soft spot for Jane.
After all, she was the missing sister they reunited with after so many years. It was after much effort spent to locate her too.
But every family had problems, and the Fowlers one was complicated too. Larry had no intention of
interfering in Peter’s family business, even though they were as close as a brother would.
There were too many craps in the Fowlers family affair, and Larry was too busy pulling himself up to interfere in other’s family affairs.
“I’m going to the washroom.”
Peter then made his way to the first floor of the building.
“Pfft!”
Larry couldn’t hold back anymore and broke out into laughter.
“Peter, isn’t the washroom on the second floor?”
But Peter left as if he did not hear Larry’s words.
In the private room on the fourth floor, Hugh Croft had just finished watching the drama downstairs.
He stood up.
Robert Shane raised his brows. “Leaving so soon, Hugh? Why don’t you stay a little longer?”
“There are some matters I need to take care of.”
His words were layered with a hint of murderous intent.
Robert whistled a little.
That spelled the end of Cameron Croft’s good life.
It was his unlucky day to have met Hugh Croft today.
Hugh hated when others swaggered and swindled using his family name.
Now Cameron would wish he was dead.
But Hugh’s murderous intent was likely not just because of Cameron.
It was because of the woman that was like an elven queen on the dance floor.
“Hugh, I gave them a Diamond VIP Membership Card of Nightshade Bar. You’ll definitely see them again if you come here often in the future.”
“Mind your own business!”
Hugh left the private room after he said the four words.
Robert was left leaning on the sofa with his hands behind his head.
A cheeky grin appeared on his lips.
“More interesting dramas are going to unfold soon.” He thought to himself.
Peter was leaving the bar when he saw Jane and Lila.
They were trying to get a taxi.
Hearing footsteps, Jane turned towards Peter and threw him a glance.
Then, she pretended she did not see him and continued chatting with Lila.
“Jane, that looks like Peter.”
Lila spoke hesitantly when she saw Peter.
She couldn’t tell for sure in the dim light.
Furthermore, Peter couldn’t be here. He wouldn’t approach Jane on purpose.
Instead, he would have stayed far away.
Peter was popular at the University of Oricle.
It wasn’t just because he was a Fowler but because he was a bright student too.
He was accepted into the University of Oricle for being the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Stormton City.
He did not attend Howard University because he couldn’t bear being too far from his family.
In other words, he did not want to be far away from his sister, Madelyn Fowler.
