No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Jane noticed a malice gaze.

She turned around.

“My gosh.

“Isn’t that Layne Croft?”

As much as Jane wanted to, there was no way she could avoid her enemies.

Jane puckered her brows.

It should be a happy day for her.

However, she felt that she had gotten up on the wrong side of the bed that day.

She had encountered all kinds of irritating people since she left home.

She did not remember much about Layne.

Because they had little to do with each other in the past.

Madelyn had played innocent in front of the Fowlers and caused them to mistreat Jane.

That was Medelyn’s ace move that had harmed Jane the most.

Jane used to be engaged to Layne who was also Madelyn’s back-burner guy.

-Madelyn was smart enough not to let him interact too much with Jane, in case something beyond her

control happened.

In the past five years, Jane and Layne had only met a few times.

Every time they met, Layne would tell Jane either not to ***his little Maddie or that he would never marry her.

At that time, Jane didn’t care.

She had told Layne countless times that she was not interested in him and he shouldn’t think too much.

However, Layne was a hopeless narcissistic man.

He had not listened at all.

Jane shot a quick glance at him and looked away.

She was in a good mood, so she did not want to bother that ***.

Layne noticed Jane’s indifferent gaze.

He was suddenly ******off.

Then, he recalled seeing Jane chatting and laughing happily with Connor earlier on.

“Hmph.

“***, are you playing hard to get with me?

Layne had seen too many women like Jane who pretended to be uninterested and gave him the cold

shoulder. In fact, they had long coveted the Croft family’s power.

Originally, Layne wanted to ignore Jane.

However, he thought of what happened to Luna Croft.

Jane was watching Lila singing on stage.

Suddenly, Layne walked over and sat nearby her.

He even took the initiative to talk to Jane.

“Jane, this is the first time we’ve actually met.

“When I wasn’t in Stormton City, I heart that you’ve caused a lot of trouble in the Fowler and the Croft families.”

Layne tried to speak in a calm tone.

But Jane did not listen to him at all.

She was watching Lila’s performance with full attention.

Layne frowned unconsciously and cursed in his mind.

“You ***.

“You obviously heard me.

“But you deliberately ignore me.

“Too much of this ‘play hard to get’ game. People will get **** of it, Jane!”

In the private room on the third floor, Larry and Peter saw that scene.

“Peter, isn’t that Layne? I remember he is engaged to Jane. Isn’t he Jane’s fiancé?”

Larry knew about that because it had blown into a big hoo-ha.

Layne loved Madelyn and wanted to marry no one except her.

Not only he, his family, and the Fowler family were all very supportive of their marriage.

Layne and Madelyn were childhood sweethearts. They basically grew up together and had a very deep relationship.

There was no other couple who were more compatible than these two in terms of family background, looks, and many other things,

It was natural for them to be together, and everyone was happy to see that.

However, things between this great couple everyone adored had become awkward because of

Madelyn’s rejection.

Madelyn felt that as an adopted daughter, the Fowler family had given her too much.

Layne was engaged to Jane Fowler. She just could not steal Jane’s fiancé.

At that time, nobody knew whether Jane was alive or dead as she had been missing for 19 years.
