Chapter 167
Raymond suddenly came downstairs with a gloomy expression.
Seeing that Raymond did not look good, Diane asked carefully. “Jack, what’s wrong?”
She also wanted to get a cup of warm milk for Raymond.
Raymond said angrily, “That ***Jane posted the video online!”
“What?”
Diane could not help but cry out.
She lost her grip on the milk in her hand and it fell to the ground. “Thud!”
It shattered all over the ground.
Layne also exclaimed in disbelief, “Dad, is this true?!”
“How can this be fake? It’s absolutely true!*
“*****it, that useless daughter. I don’t know who took her in. I personally brought people to Harbor City to look for her, but I didn’t find any traces of her!”
“Now that such a big thing has happened, she escaped and hid. She left us to suffer! We’d rather never give birth to her! We should have strangled her to death back then!”
Raymond thumped his fist hard on the table.
Diane quickly comforted him. “Jack, calm down. It’s not worth it for her…”
“It’s all your fault! A loving mother always brings out a useless daughter. I said we should send Luna abroad so she could have her life ruined there. That way she wouldn’t cause any harm to our family. You just wouldn’t listen!”
“Are you happy now that things have gone this far? Now let’s put aside dad’s opinions. How could we let Hugh have so many benefits without doing anything?” he added.
After being yelled at by Raymond, Diane lowered her head in grievance and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
To outsiders, Diane was living the life of a top socialite. Marrying into the Croft family was like a cherry on top for her. She and Raymond appeared a loving couple to the outsiders.
In reality, in front of Raymond, Diane was like a dog.
Raymond greeted her when he was in a good mood and doted on her a little.
When he was in a bad mood, scolding her was a light punishment. He might even hit her.
After their children grew up, Raymond didn’t hit her that often.
It was also because Diane was afraid of being beaten. She was no longer as ****and despotic as when she was young. In front of Raymond, he could only be obedient.
“Dad, don’t blame ***for this. At this point, we should think of a solution.”
“For Luna, just leave her alone. Dad, go and see if there’s any way to make this matter less known. It’s best if you delete all the video resources on the Internet.”
“I have checked. The video was released last night. We have to stop it before it spread too far.”
Speaking of this, Layne had mixed feelings.
“Could it be Jane only posted this video on the internet after being stopped by Layne?” she thought.
If that was the case, Layne was simply shooting himself in the foot.
But she didn’t know why Jane would do that.
“She has kept it and does not post that video, which is to attract Layne’s attention and take the initiative to approach Jane to express her goodwill to Jane,” she thought.
Then, through the engagement between the Fowler family and the Croft family, she would obtain Layne’s favor and marry into the Croft family. Then her life would be completely different.
“I understand.”
Raymond pinched the space between his eyebrows.
His head hurt.
Fortunately, even if Luna was a useless daughter, Raymond had at least given birth to Layne, a son he could count on. Otherwise, Raymond would really be surrounded by enemies from both sides.
Layne didn’t even have time to eat breakfast seriously. He hurriedly took his suit jacket and left.
Diane finally made up his mind and came to Raymond’s side. “Jack, why don’t we think of a way to make Jane completely disappear from this world?”
Diane’s eyes flashed with coldness and killing intent.
Raymond was silent for a ***before saying, “I heard that this Jane is quite close to the first-class lawyer Andy and Hugh. Do you know what’s going on?”
Raymond knew these two people. Even with the Fowler family’s power, it was impossible to befriend them.
Only they could choose their friends. There was no way for others to choose them.
Raymond was not as simple as Jane thought. This daughter of the Fowler family who had been missing for 19 years must have some unspeakable secret!
Otherwise, how could she be related to these two people!
“I don’t know… but Jack, so what if that’s the case? It’s not difficult to make a person disappear completely without a trace.”
“As long as we can seize the opportunity when Jane is alone, even if Hugh and the others suspect us, they won’t have any evidence. This way, we won’t have to be afraid of Jane attacking us anymore!” she added.
Diane had already made up his mind.
No matter what the price was, she had to make Jane disappear from this world.
“I have to think about this carefully. In short, I have to resolve the current predicament first.”
As the head of the second branch of the Croft family, he was the biological son of Victor Croft, who used to dominate the business world in Stormton City.
Even if Raymond wasn’t as capable as Michael or his nephew Hugh, he also had his own strengths to offer.
His sense of danger was extremely sharp.
He could clearly sense that Jane was not someone to be trifled with.
Since they had already provoked her, even if they had to become enemies and he wanted to get rid of this ***and hard rock, he could not be in a hurry.
Of course, Raymond was far from qualified to be compared to some big shots.
This feeling was like a thorn in Raymond’s heart.
However, he could not deny it or avoid it.
“Diane, I’m warning you. Luna’s matter has caused enough trouble this time. Don’t do anything in private to make me clean up your mess!”
“Otherwise, I swear I won’t let you off!” he added.
After hearing Raymond’s words, Diane could only suppress her thoughts and nod.
The night fell.
Because there were no classes today, Jane had been busy programming the mission given by the Seventh Organization ever since she woke up,
After solving it in one go, she compressed the file and sent it to Clarence.
Jane, “Mr. York, I’m going overseas in a few days to accompany Mr. Lance to participate in International Students
Drawing Competition. I’ll accept the mission when I return from winning the championship.”
Clarence, “Hahaha, then I wish Queen victory and success, and glory for the country! However, with Queen’s strength, it will be easy for her to win the championship! Go and stun this world!”
At first, Clarence did not know why someone of Jane’s status would participate in such a competition.
Compared to this title, Jane’s identity as Queen of the Darknet was enough to drive every country crazy. They wanted to do everything to take her in and only wanted her to work for them.
Fortunately, Jane was a patriotic person. In addition, in order to find her senior brother, she was able to take the initiative to contact No. 7 Scientific Research Organization so that she could work for the government.
After these few days, Clarence discovered that Jane was overflowing with talent. What she could do was simply unusual. He was shocked.
For example, in a recent mission, more than ten genius scientists had to work together for a few days without eating. drinking, or resting to complete it.
Jane completed it in just a few days on her own.
Every program was flawless. There were no bugs. The information was neat and clear. It was a huge help to Yale!
The research process of the photolithography machine was rapidly progressing with the smooth cooperation of Yale and Jane.
Then, Clarence found out Jane didn’t want money or a reputation, but a medal proving that she worked hard for the country and was proud of the country!
This kind of sentiment was nobler than any character!
To have someone like Jane in Crucsia was indeed a miracle for this country!
