No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 She Doesn’t Deserve The Right!

Dwayne hissed viciously.

He hated Jane with every fiber of his soul.

How dare she speak to her own brother this way!

How dare she give Madelyn the cold shoulder!

Well, since Jane didn’t want to be a member of the Fowlers, Dwayne was in no way obliged to treat her like one!

A sharp thrill shot through Madelyn when she heard what Dwayne had said.

This was precisely what she wanted.

She wanted them to hate Jane.

This way, Jane would never be able to return to the Fowler family and steal her share of the family’s wealth. Meanwhile, she still had a guise to maintain.

“Dwayne, don’t yell at Janie. She’s the young lady of the Fowler family. She’s your sister!”

Madelyn said softly as she tugged Dwayne’s arm.

“No bitch is going to be my sister. Maddie, you’re the only young lady of the Fowler family. I don’t have or need another sister!

“Anyone who tries to steal what’s rightfully yours will have to deal with me first! I’m not going to let them off!” Dwayne hissed as he glared furiously at Jane.

He was giving Jane a warning.

She should keep her dirty fingers away from what wasn’t hers.

She might think she could get something out of the family by renouncing the family. His other brothers might give in to her, but not Dwayne.

Dwayne wasn’t going to give in to her.

Dwayne thought his words might invoke some panic in Jane.

Jane might realize that she had gone too far. The Fowler family was wealthy beyond measure. She could get

a handsome sum that would last her till she died if she hung onto her title as a young lady of the Fowler

family.

He was wrong.

“Don’t worry. The Fowlers are mere strangers to me now. I don’t want anything from you!

“So, don’t try and pretend that we’re friends and try to talk to me if we run into each other on the streets. Just pretend you don’t know me at all.

“Stop trying to make me puke with your pretenses.”

Jane said curtly.

Her merciless words cut like a sharp blade.

Dwayne found himself reeling with shock.

The next moment, rage surged within him.

I’ll hold you to your words, Jane.”

He looked forward to the day when Jane regretted her decision and decided she wanted a share of the family inheritance. When she came crawling back and begging the family to take her back…

Dwayne would be there, laughing in her face.

“That’s enough!”

Lila couldn’t take it anymore.

“Are you really Janie’s brother? She’s your sister! The sister who went missing for 19 years!

“Do you have any idea what she has been through? How could you treat her this way?”

Lila’s eyes shone brightly with unshed tears. It had taken her a massive dose of courage to confront Dwayne

Lila, who was meek by nature, was terrified of men like Dwayne.

But she had overcome her fear and spoken up for Jane.

She was simply too furious to keep her silence any longer.

Her heart ached for what Jane had been put through.

She couldn’t believe what her best friend had to go through. Jane had ended up with the worst family ever

If she had known this sooner, she would have badgered her parents into taking Jane in as their daughter

The Sutton family was no Fowler family, but her kind parents would surely give Jane the love she wanted.

Surely that was better than returning to the Fowler family, having her hopes and dreams for a family be trampled a second time and be hurt yet again!

The thought of Jane’s suffering filled Lila’s eyes with tears.

“That’s because she doesn’t deserve to be my sister!”

Dwayne replied coolly and mercilessly.

“A true lady of the Fowler family would know her place.

“A true lady of the Fowler family wouldn’t hold a grudge.

“She wouldn’t break ties with her family so easily. Did she think that we would care or feel threatened?

“Take a look at Maddie. Then, take a look at Jane. They’re worlds apart!”
