No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Diane was still waiting for Layne in the living room in her pajamas.

Layne took off his suit and hung it on the coat rack. Seeing that Diane was still awake, he asked with concern, “Mom? Why aren’t you asleep?”

“Layne Croft, why did you come home so late today? I was just worried about you. Sigh… after what happened to your sister, your father even especially went to City Harbor to look for her.

“I called your father just now, but he still hasn’t found your sister. I don’t know where she’s hidden. Your father even asked me about how I ********the video, but I couldn’t tell him…”

Diane Croft had been worrying about these things for the past few days. Her well-maintained eyes were covered with dark circles and thin crow’s feet. Her complexion was not good.

“This incompetent girl.”

Layne gritted his teeth.

If not for the fact that Luna Croft was Layne’s biological sister, Layne would have finished off such an ****and incompetent person to prevent future trouble!

Layne and Raymond Croft had warned Luna countless times, but before leaving the country, Luna still dared to leave such a mess for Layne.

Layne was clearly about to go up against Hugh Croft with great fanfare and regain control of the Croft family, but Luna was right there stabbing him in the back! ***!

“Layne Croft, no matter what, Luna is your biological sister. Don’t worry about this for now. I’ll think of a way to destroy the video.”

However, looking at Jane Fowler’s unmoved attitude, it was probably going to be very troublesome. If necessary… She could only resort to extreme measures.

Killing intent flashed across Diane’s eyes.

“By the way, Layne, didn’t you go with Maddie to participate in some National University Painting Competition? Why was it that when I saw the news, Jane Fowler not only was the champion but became even more popular?”

When Diane saw it, she was shocked to death.

This was because Diane knew that Layne had made some internal arrangements.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for Jane Fowler to win the championship.

However, Layne and Madelyn were dating, and Diane did not want to disturb them.

She couldn’t wait for Layne to marry Madelyn.

Therefore, she waited until Layne returned home before she asked.

“She just got *****lucky.”

Layne recalled the scene of Nightshade Bar that night when he was taunted by Jane and Lila Sutton as “Mr. Narcissist”.

He silently clenched his fists.

Of course, Layne did not want to tell Diane about this incident.

It was too embarrassing.

Seeing Layne’s expression, Diane didn’t continue asking.

It seemed that this Jane Fowler was really not easy to deal with.

She had to make up her mind quickly…

The next day.

Diane went straight to the Fowler Corporation.

Of course, the Fowler Corporation’s receptionist knew Diane Croft’s identity. He respectfully asked Diane to wait for a moment before informing Anna Fowler.

Anna received the news and came down very quickly.

Looking at Anna, Diane caressed Anna’s face endearingly. “Anna… It seems that you’ve been really having a bad time recently. You look haggard and thin.”

Diane knew what happened to the Fowler Corporation. Although she was anxious about it, it had blown up too much, and it was not something Diane could help with.

Fortunately, the Fowler Corporation survived. The Fowler family had also survived, and everything was back on track.

“Speaking of which, Diane, these past few days of working hard with Jack in the company made me regain the feeling I had when I was young.

“Now that Henry is back, it’s just that this child… He has been working too hard recently and he’s making me a little worried.”

Anna did not tell Diane about Henry fainting and she also did not tell Diane anything about Jane Fowler.

These things could only be kept internally and should not be told to outsiders.

“He’s a young man, it’s good that he has energy and desire to work hard.

“In the future, Henry will be the Fowler Corporation’s legitimate successor. His ability is seen by all. What he needs now is to produce results and convince everyone.

“Let the next generation live their lives. Let’s not worry too much. Let’s go, Anna. I’ll bring you to the cafe outside for drinks…”

Anna’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she sighed softly. “Diane, if you’re here because of what you called to ask me about the last time, about Jane Fowler, I’m sorry. We really have no say when it comes to Jane Fowler. Now that the Fowler family has become like this, we only want to cut ties with her completely.”

Jane Fowler was a bad luck charm. Nothing good had ever happened when they were involved with her.

Anna was also tired. The Fowler family, the Fowler Corporation, and even Henry and Peter Fowler all suffered damages from Jane Fowler.

Perhaps, this was karma.

It was maybe a retribution towards Anna’s life that had been too smooth sailing. The heavens wanted to punish her and give her some balance in her life.

And this divine retribution came in the form of the biological daughter that Anna had dreamt to find all her life.

How ***********.

“Anna… If it wasn’t for the fact that I had no other choices, I wouldn’t have come to look for you.

“Actually… it’s like this…”

Diane told Anna everything.

Anna’s eyes widened. “Oh my god… How… How could this happen?”

“Anna, I didn’t want to tell you such an embarrassing thing, but this concerns the Croft family’s

reputation.

“Layne’s career is rising now. He can’t be dragged down by Luna, that wretched girl.”

“If you want to destroy the video, you have to go to Jane Fowler. I have no choice, I can only come to you. Please help me…”

Anna looked troubled.

“But… If I were to go look for Jane Fowler, all I would get is humiliation. I would be of no help at all.” Diane bit her lip and begged, “Anna, you watched Luna grow up. You don’t want Luna to be chased out of the Croft family and live on the streets, right?”
