No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176
On the other side, Madelyn had already avoided the surveillance cameras and the servants.
She sneaked into Jack’s study.
Previously, she had not found a chance to make a move because too many sons of the Fowler family had returned.
Even though Jack spent much of his time working at Fowler Corporation, Madelyn did not choose to infiltrate in order not to expose herself,
Although the Fowlers were deceived by Madelyn’s appearance, they would not have believed Madelyn if they had seen Madelyn do something with their own eyes!
And so, today was the day she took action.
Everyone went to the airport to send Anna and Henry off.
As long as Madelyn pretended to be ***, she could choose not to go and stay at home alone!
There was plenty of time. Madelyn had already made a plan and sent everyone away. Even the surveillance cameras had been dealt with.
Madelyn put on gloves that didn’t leave fingerprints and fumbled with the target information.
Last night, Madelyn used the excuse of delivering drinks and snacks to Jack and the others in the study. She remembered it very clearly
The information was here…
She flipped through the pages in the drawer.
She saw it!
Madelyn quickly took out her phone and took a few photos of the documents. Then she put them back and sneaked out of the study
Just as Madelyn destroyed the evidence and walked out of the washroom, she heaved a sigh of relief.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Madelyn let out a scream in shock. “Ah!”
She almost fell.
Fortunately, the person was quick enough to hold her. “Maddie, are you alright?”
“Daddy…”
Madelyn secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “Why.. why did you suddenly come back? Didn’t you go to the company? Mommy and Henry have already set off?”
“Hm… why are you here?”
This was the third floor.
It was the floor where the room of Jack and Anna was located.
It was also where the study of Jack was located.
Although there was a bathroom, everyone’s room had a separate bathroom.
If Madelyn wanted to go to the toilet, she could just go to the bathroom in her own room.
She was clearly having a fever and not feeling well. There was no reason for her to be here.
“I feel a little better. I wanted to go to the rooftop to take a breath of fresh air and get more sunshine. When I went downstairs, I suddenly needed to pee, so…”
Madelyn had made preparation for occasions like this. She managed to quiet her nerves and said calmly
Still, the quivering in her voice still gave her away.
If it was in the past, Jack would not have given much thought to it
But after what Jane said at the airport, the more Jack thought about it, the more he felt that Madelyn’s recent actions
were very suspicious.
Once the seed of doubt was planted, it only needed a simple opportunity to take root and germinate.
There was no going back.
“Daddy, what’s wrong?”
Madelyn’s intuition told her that something was wrong with Jack’s expression
She asked carefully.
“Nothing. I came back to get some files, I’m going to the office later.”
“Maddie, since you’re ***, you should not walk around. Rest well and drink more water to recover quickly, understand?”
“Okay… daddy, I understand. I’ll go back to my room to rest now.”
Hearing Jack’s worried words, Madelyn’s nervous heart finally relaxed a little.
When Madelyn went downstairs, Jack’s expression immediately changed and he quickly returned to the study
He checked carefully.
There was nothing unusual.
Jack even went to check the surveillance footage.
The surveillance camera did not capture Madelyn entering the study.
Madelyn did as she said and walked straight to the stairs on the rooftop.
After that, the surveillance camera also captured Madelyn coming down the stairs.
However, the time stamp didn’t match.
Madelyn entered the toilet 15 minutes later than the surveillance footage showed. The surveillance camera in the study was also very strange.
Jack couldn’t tell what exactly was strange.
“I must be wrong… No, Jack, you can’t be affected by Jane anymore.”
“Maddie is such a kind and innocent girl, How could she do such a thing?” he added.
Jack kept hinting to himself.
However, he took out his phone in a daze.
He called someone.
The call was quickly picked up.
A surprised voice sounded, “Mr. Fowler, what’s the matter?”
“Do you remember the trending post I told you about and the editor-in-chief with the gossip magazines?”
“I do. It’s been a long time. Why are you talking about this again?”
“I want you to help me look into it.”
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Jack said, “Is there a problem?*
“No… it’s just that it’s been a while. I heard that the editor-in-chief has resigned and gone overseas. It’s a little difficult to investigate now.”
If Jack had investigated directly back then, before the editor-in-chief left Crucsia, with Fowler Corporation’s strength, the results would have been out in an instant.
However, after such a long time, the editor-in-chief had already run overseas and all the traces were probably gone Upon hearing this, Jack heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn’t know why he would feel this way.
That meant he had already taken Jane’s words seriously.
He was really suspicious of Madelyn.
Jack composed himself. “Anyways, do what you can and see if you can find out anything”
“Mr. Fowler, may I know what brought your attention back to this matter after so long?”
“At the time, I thought you already knew the result”
“Just go do it. I don’t want to answer anything else.”
Then he hung up.
Jack sat on the chair and rubbed his eyebrows.
“I’m not suspecting Maddie. It’s just that I have to find out the truth. Otherwise, I’ll feel very uncomfortable every time Jane mentions this.”
“It’s as if Jane looked down on me and treated me like an ***…”
When he took his things and left the study, he found Madelyn there when he got downstairs.
“Maddie, why are you up again?”
“Oh, I came downstairs to get some water. Daddy, are you leaving?”
“Yes, I’ve got the files. I’m going to the office.”
When Madelyn heard this, she lowered her eyes to hide her sadness.
“I’m sorry, daddy. I know the company is at a critical moment for assistance but there’s nothing I can do to help”
“Today, mommy and Henry went abroad to do business. Everyone went to send them off. But I couldn’t go because! had a fever. And you still have to worry about me. I’m really useless.”
Madelyn hit herself in anger.
Her tears fell like pearls with a broken string.
They were shattered into countless crystal clear beads on the ground.
“Maddie, don’t be like this. This is only your first year in college, and you’re still a kid I’m already very happy that you have the heart to care about the family business.”
