No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138
Madelyn went over to greet Jane and deliberately picked the side that was close to Hugh. One could tell that she purposely did that to show off her breasts and figure to Hugh
She let her long hair down, trying to seduce Hugh.
She tried her best to impress Hugh.
Madelyn seemed to be able to smell Hugh’s body scent in the air.
It was intoxicating for her.
She clearly could not get enough of that.
Madelyn had never been so close to Hugh.
This was the first time she has ever been so close to Hugh.
In the mean time, she took another glance at Connor and Robert.
Both of them were excellent men too.
Madelyn treated them as her backup candidates for her ideal husband too.
Still, for her, Hugh was the most handsome man!
If only she could be Hugh’s woman, she would be so happy.
Madelyn would do anything for that.
Madelyn’s mind was in turmoil. Her face turned red uncontrollably since she was sitting so close to Hugh.
Layne could not help but be stunned when he saw this scene.
In order to seduce Hugh, Madelyn could not disguise her thoughts well at the moment.
Even Layne, who had been charmed by Madelyn could tell this.
He could not help but tremble, secretly clenching his fists.
He thought to himself, “Little Maddie is acting weird…”
He wondered if the person she liked was actually Hugh..
He quickly denied his thought.
Layne shook his head aggressively.
Such a reality was unacceptable.
It seemed like the reason why the woman Layne loved so much kept rejecting him wasn’t just for Jane.
There was another reason. It was because the person Madelyn loved was Hugh!
He thought to himself, “What is this?”
Layne clearly could not accept the fact that he lost to Hugh.
At that instant, Layne was about to pull Madelyn over.
Someone came.
It was not Jane.
It was not Lila either.
It was Hugh.
He picked up the fork on the table.
In the next second, he mercilessly stabbed it into Madelyn’s right leg.
“Ouch!
Madelyn was still infatuated with Hugh
Apparently, she did not expect Hugh to do this.
Immediately, she felt a sharp pain in her thigh and blood spurted out
Madelyn clutched her leg in pain and took a few steps back before falling to the ground.
She started to cry uncontrollably due to the intense pain.
Everyone in the restaurant turned to her.
“Little Maddiel
Layne’s heart ached when he saw this. He instantly rushed forward and held Madelyn. “Are you alright?”
1… I’m in so much pain… Layne…”
“Hugh… Why did you attack me… Did I do something wrong?” she asked pitifully
Madelyn put on a pitiful look and looked at Hugh.
He could not believe that Hugh had stabbed a fork into her thigh in front of everyone
Hugh slowly wiped the blood off his hand with a handkerchief
He didn’t even care about Madelyn.
Clips curled into a mocking smile. “Hey… Don’t you know… Hugh **women getting too
close to him?”
He especially woman who was full of greed and only knew how to prey on rich men
If it were Connor and Robert, they would not have gone overboard.
Somehow, for Hugh, there was no distinction between a man and a woman. He treated both genders the same.
There were only the people that he could accept and the people that he **.
Even if it was a woman, as long as she offended Hugh and made him unhappy, he could ***her if he wanted to.
He would definitely not show any mercy.
Madelyn panted heavily.
Her eyes turned red, and tears flowed down her face.
Of course, Madelyn knew.
Being the person in charge of the D.Y. Group, Hugh did not like women to come close to him. He was hot-tempered, cold blooded, and ruthless.
Somehow, she wondered why.
She wondered why could Jane could get so close to him.
Jane was sitting with Hugh openly.
Hugh did not show the slightest bit of disdain. Instead, before Madelyn approached, he looked so gentle.
It wasn’t just Hugh. Even Connor and Robert were there too.
Madelyn could not understand why she could not get close to Hugh.
“Hugh, aren’t you being too ruthless? Little Maddie is a girl after all…”
Layne was about to speak up for Madelyn.
“Keep an eye on your girl. I’m giving you a warning,” he said. “Next time, I won’t let it slide just like that”
Hugh was expressionless and did not even look at Layne.
His cold words were like the final ultimatum of death.
Even Layne did not dare to breathe loudly in front of Hugh.
He did not dare to continue speaking
Layne could feel a chill running down his spine at that moment.
He suddenly felt a sense of danger.
His life might be threatened.
Layne felt as if his head could be easily chopped off the next second.
Layne and Hugh were relatives.
But in Hugh’s eyes, he had no relatives.
For him, there were only valuable people and worthless people.
Layne knew that he and his family were worthless in Hugh’s eyes.
He could not even compare to the sloppy youngest son of the third branch, Marlon!
Of course, he could not accept the fact.
Layne could not accept the huge difference between himself and Hugh.
He could only comfort himself with the fact that he still needed time to grow.
He said to himself that he would take revenge on Hugh one day in the future. He would remember how he has been humiliated all this while.
“Little Maddie, we…”
“Hugh, don’t misunderstand us. Layne and I are just siblings. There’s actually nothing between us,” she quickly explained.
Layne was just about to find a way out and bring Madelyn to treat the injury on her thigh.
Unexpectedly, Madelyn suddenly sobbed and explained her relationship with Layne.
It was as if she was afraid that Hugh would misunderstand her.
Layne was stunned.
He felt a sense of uneasiness.
He started to wonder.
It seemed to him that Madelyn really liked Hugh.
Hence, she was so anxious to explain as she was afraid that Hugh would misunderstand the relationship between them.
Madelyn had no time to care about what Layne was thinking.
Because Madelyn already thought that she had found the reason for Hugh to do this to her.
Hugh ignored Madelyn and even stabbed Madelyn’s thigh with a fork.
She assured that it was because Hugh thought that she was Layne’s girlfriend!
But this was a misunderstanding!
Madelyn didn’t have a boyfriend. She wasn’t a ****like Jane who seduced Andy and Hugh! She wanted to tell Hugh that she was an innocent, kind, and naive girl!
Connor whistled.
It seemed to him that Madelyn had no idea what was going on.
It did not matter what was Madelyn’s background.
Anyhow, she dared to provoke Hugh again and again, trampling on the opportunity given by Hugh.
She really thought that she could seduce Hugh.
Hugh had seen countless women like her.
Jane had not made a move.
Anyway, she had confidence that Hugh could solve the matter appropriately.
She believed that Madelyn would be traumatized after this.
She did not have to do anything.
Everyone looked over.
However, no one dared to stop him.
The main reason was that Hugh was giving off an aura that was way too powerful.
Obviously, this matter was not something that ordinary people could interfere in.
If one interfered, one would probably be doomed.
Those who were familiar with Hugh had already treated Madelyn as a dead person.
Only Madelyn still had naive thoughts and tried to explain to Hugh.
“Hugh, I’m the adopted daughter of the Fowler family, Madelyn. We met at a banquet before… You… You should remember me, right?” she said.
“Once, I was bullied. You helped me…” she uttered.
At this moment, someone stood up.
Lila picked up the unfinished plum juice on the table and splashed it on Madelyn’s face.
