No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

“Miss Jane Fowler, it looks like you’re quite confident dealing with the Croft family.”

Victor picked up a cup of steaming black tea.

He took a sip.

He then heaved a sigh comfortably.

“Miss Jane Fowler… Hmm, I’ll call you Jane instead.”

“Whatever. Anything that makes you happy.

“But… you don’t seem to have any animosity towards me. You must have asked me here because of Hugh.”

Jane went straight to the point.

It was not Jane’s nature to beat around the bush with Victor.

Jane was not interested in saying something in a roundabout way.

Victor took another sip of black tea.

He was not in a hurry to answer Jane’s question.

Jane did not speak and waited quietly.

She was even calmer than Victor.

“Jane, do you think everyone has their own value in a place like the Croft family?”

Victor suddenly replied with an irrelevant question.

Jane thought for a moment before replying.

“…You mean, everyone has their values, right?

“Just like Luna. In your heart, I’m afraid she’s just a stepping stone for Hugh.

“No… It’s not just Luna. Anyone who wants to compete for the position of power in this family against Hugh has their values.

“Their value lies in testing whether Hugh can bear the entire Croft family as the heir of the family.”

If it were anyone else, such an answer would be too cold-blooded and heartless.

However, it was just right for Victor.

“That’s too much. No matter what, Luna is still my granddaughter. I actually feel very pained to treat her like this.”

“But I don’t feel there’s any pain in your words. When you ordered to get Luna’s fingers cut, you were quite decisive.” Victor was speechless.

Jane just said that bluntly without caring how Victor would feel.

Honestly, nobody had ever done this to Victor.

He couldn’t help chuckling aloud.

“Jane, you… You got balls. No wonder you dared to scheme against my granddaughter, take away my grandson, and even joke around in front of me, your elder.

“You’re so funny.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Jane remained neither humble nor pushy.

She still projected an air of calm self-confidence when faced with Victor’s terrifying gaze from time to time.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be trembling in fear and not dare to speak casually.

“Aging weakens a person’s murderous nature. People are tired of fighting and killing when they get old, but it doesn’t mean that they ignore the basic rules. Someone must get the punishment he deserves,

“Jane. If the Croft family was as in a position as your family, we’ll talk about so-called kinship.

“But this doesn’t work in the Croft family! The slightest slack in vigilance might draw countless pairs of malicious eyes waiting to drag me down from the top! I will fall into a bottomless abyss!

“You think I went overboard with Luna because you’ve never seen me when I was in power! I’m already very tolerant! I

gave Luna a chance to return to the Croft family to prove herself!”

“I know you have investigated me, so I have to clarify one thing. I have nothing to do with the Fowler family. I don’t care anything about it.”
