No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149
Diane still had to pay attention to how she acted.
She had spoken without meaning to just then and did not control her volume.
She had already attracted the attention of many people.
“Marlon, why are you with Jane?”
Layne frowned, though his eyebrows did not leave a crease when he did.
He looked at Marlon with hostility.
There was no other reason.
It was because Layne looked down on this spoiled youngest son of the third branch of the family from the bottom of his heart.
Rumor had it that he dropped out of university without even finishing his ***.
He would either go out to ***around all day or stay in his room and make a mess.
If not for the Croft family’s support, how would Marlon have had the funds to squander away like this? However…
At a family gathering. Hugh personally talked to Marlon.
He even praised Marlon.
Even Marlon’s parents were shocked for a long time.
One must know that Hugh existed in the Croft family as the most outstanding and most capable one. They had high hopes for him.
Even as relatives, they were jealous of Hugh and afraid of his ability simultaneously.
Hugh rarely took his relatives seriously.
For Marlon to be held in such esteem by Hugh….
No one had expected this!
When Layne saw this happening, he thought that Hugh had gone crazy.
Immediately, he became deeply jealous of Marlon.
Why had Hugh taken a fancy to such a good-for-nothing fellow, who relied on his aging parents and had dropped out of school?!
“Why can’t I be with Jane? Do I need you to care who I’m with?”
Marlon looked at Layne as if he were looking at an ***.
Marlon wasn’t a ***. Naturally, he knew that Layne looked down on him.
As for the capabilities that Marlon had, he disdained to tell anyone.
He liked the feeling of being low-profile.
This did not mean that Marlon would allow Layne, who looked down on him, to humiliate him!
“You?! Marlon Croft, how dare you talk to me like that!”
“Marlon Croft! What did Uncle teach you? How dare you argue with your elders like this? Apologize!”
Diane and Layne were indeed mother and son.
The apple never fell far from the tree.
They were both so shameless.
“Ignore them, Marlon. Let’s go in.”
Jane pulled Marlon into the bidding office.
“Stop! You owe us an apology!”
How could Diane let Marlon off so easily?
If Diane could see Marlon, an ****and incompetent scoundrel, actually daring to talk back to her precious son, who had immense potential and a bright future ahead of him, and still not say anything, she would not be Diane Croft if she did not vent her anger.
In the next second.
Diane received a loud slap to the face.
She looked away. Her face was burning with disbelief.
This slap again…
A familiar pain!
There was no need to think about it!
This ***Jane Fowler must have hit Diane!
This was the second time! The second time!
And in front of so many people!
Everyone’s eyes fell on Diane and Jane..
Even Marlon and Layne did not react at first.
By the time he reacted, Layne immediately hugged the disgraced Diane.
“What are you doing?! Jane Fowler!”
Layne wished he could slap Jane..
Jane didn’t just slap Layne’s mother.
She also slapped Layne’s face.
He never expected… for Jane to be so presumptuous!
How dare he hit Diane in front of so many people!
Did she want to ***?
“Q… Jane, what are you..
Marlon was stunned by Jane’s bravery.
Though Marlon had wanted to do this countless times.
Who asked Diane’s family to ***others and look down on him?
However, he only dared to think about it in his heart.
He did not dare to act on the thought.
Jane might have gotten some gratification from that, but what would she do next?
“I slapped her to ***her up.”
Jane said coldly.
Diane kept chattering like a locust behind Jane.
Did he really think that Jane never lost her temper?
“Jane! Fowler!”
Even if the noble blood running in Layne’s veins made him unable to lose his rationality on such an
OCCASION.
Jane behaved mercilessly towards them time and time again. Layne couldn’t take it anymore.
He raised his hand and was about to slap Jane
“Jane”
In a moment of desperation, Marlon wanted to protect Jane
In the end.
Jane kicked Layne’s knee.
The wound from when Layne had knelt on the broken glass last time had not fully recovered.
Jane’s kick was fast, precise, and ruthless.
She deftly avoided everyone’s gaze.
Layne’s knees felt like they were about to split open.
An intense pain assaulted him. He lost his balance and knelt on the ground.
Everyone was speechless.
This scene completely exceeded their imaginations.
They originally thought that Layne wanted to fight back for his mother.
Why was he kneeling down to Jane Fowler in the end?
What was going on?
“Oh my, I didn’t expect you to be so polite to me. Come, continue kneeling. I’ll take a photo with my phone…”
“Layne, what’s wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?”
Diane ignored the pain in her face and quickly helped Layne up.
“You ***, how dare you attack me!”
“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. Who saw me attack you? I’m just a weak woman. How could I win against a man like you?”
“It’s fine if you knelt down, but here you are, still lying. How despicable.”
“You?!”
Layne wanted to tear Jane into pieces.
In fact.
Layne had indeed made his move.
Jane said calmly, “Also… Have you forgotten that I have something on you?”
Layne raised his hand.
It stopped in midair again.
Luna’s video!
Layne’s palm gradually clenched into a fist!
The veins on his forehead bulged as he stared at Jane.
“Your gaze makes me very uncomfortable. Layne Croft, if I accidentally revealed that your Luna used to kneel in front of me and bark like a dog, and even licked my shoes…”
“Jane! That’s enough! Stop talking!”
Diane was scared to death and quickly stopped Jane,
She looked around carefully.
Jane controlled her volume very well.
Only the three closest people knew about it.
***it, Luna!
She had caused such big trouble, and Diane and Layne had ended up being controlled by others.
They didn’t even dare to make a sound even after being beaten.
However, Luna had disappeared without a trace.
Even Raymond could not find her and had no choice but to return to Stormton City.
Marlon was petrified.
He could not believe what he had just heard from Jane.
Luna… Had that ***and despotic hooligan girl actually knelt down and barked like a dog at Jane, and even licked Jane’s shoes?
Heavens above!
Though Marlon did think about it from a different angle. If Luna provoked “Queen” recklessly…
Even if she didn’t ***, she would be skinned alive!
“You’re not going to tell me? Alright…”
Jane met Layne’s murderous gaze.
Her red lips curled into a cold smile.
A slap landed on Layne’s face.
Slap.
The crisp sound of a slap sounded out.
The entire place was dead silent.
“Then… show me some sincerity!”
“In the future, if you see me or my friends, scram far away and don’t come looking for a beating. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”
