No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26

“Professor Henerson, me too,” Lila said.

She rose her hand.

Everyone stared at Jane in surprise.

Her label of being the Fowler family’s long-lost daughter was simply too attention-grabbing.

It was especially so since the first person who had passed the challenge was Jane’s elder brother, Peter Fowler.

This was going to be a good show.

“Jane Fowler,” lan said.

He adjusted his spectacles and looked contemplatively at Jane.

When Jane was in her first year at university, she had the highest grades in class.

Even lan had been impressed by Jane’s talent. He had high hopes for her. When she started her second year, however, something happened.

Jane often took leave from school, and her grades plummeted.

She barely passed.

lan made it a point to speak to Jane to find out what happened.

He was worried about her. lan did not wish to see a talented student like Jane fail the class. He had to try to help.

After that, there was a great commotion in the school chat group.

It was only then that lan learned about Jane finding her birth family.

They were the famous Fowler family of Stormton City.

They claimed Jane was their daughter.

He now knew why Jane had been distracted and often took leave from school. Her grades had also dropped drastically.

lan senses something was wrong with Jane.

She had changed after the Fowler family contacted her.

She became hypersensitive and self-conscious.

She was not happy.

After the incident a few days ago, Jane again took two days off from

school.

lan did not probe into her reasons.

He only said one thing to her.

“I await the return of a better you.” That was what he said.

Jane had replied simply.

She said, “I will be back.”

She did return better.

lan watched the confident and dazzling young woman who was the center of attraction.

He nodded approvingly.

Jane had been true to her words.

She had returned better than before.

In the end, there were only two people who took on the challenge.

They were Lila Sutton and Jane Fowler.

After all, lan’s program was an extremely difficult one to crack.

Most people chose not to bring misfortune upon themselves by attempting

it.

They all turned their attention to Jane.

The first one to pass the challenge was Peter Fowler.

He was Jane’s biological brother.

The question now was whether Jane would be able to pass the challenge.

The news soon spread like wildfire in the various class chat groups in school.

Peter was in the library reading.

Larry Shane suddenly came running up to him.

“Peter, stop reading! Something has happened!” he shouted.

Larry’s exclamation drew the attention of everyone in the library.

Everyone turned to stare at him.

Pete’s face creased into a deep frown. “Larry Shane, are you mad? Disgr*ce yourself all you want, but leave me out of it. Don’t you have a class to go to?”

Larry said, “Ah, sorry. I was just too excited. Class, what class? I already have enough credits to graduate. This is more important.

“Look!”

Larry went up to Peter and took out his cell phone.

He showed Peter the news of Jane taking on Professor Henderson’s challenge.

Peter was taken by surprise.

“Is Jane going to challenge Professor Henderson’s program?” he thought. Professor Henderson used to be Peter’s professor.

The honor of being the first student to ever pass Professor Henderson’s challenge had been Peter’s up until now.

Peter knew how complicated the program was. Every year, before he offered the challenge to the students, lan Henderson would edit the program.

There was no way to ask for help from the students was had previously attempted the challenge.

Peter had barely passed the challenge within the time limit of one hour. Some luck was involved.

Peter knew how difficult the challenge was.

It was almost impossible to pass it.

In the past, Peter would have paid no mind to the news. However, Jane was the one who accepted the challenge.

He was having some conflicting feelings about that.

He was unsure if he hoped Jane would pass or fail.

Larry was not about to give up an opportunity to tease Peter. He asked

jokingly, “Peter, do you think Jane will succeed?”

“How would I know?” Peter retorted.

“Ah! You must know. You are the only one who ever succeeded. You know best the level of difficulty of that challenge,” Larry replied.

“There’s no way she will succeed,” Peter said.

He had replied after thinking briefly about the possibility.

“Peter, it sounds like you’ve got a personal vendetta against her. This is not like you. Even if you have cut ties with her, she is still your biological sister,” Larry said.

Peter glared at Larry. “You’re talking r*bbish. Even if I were to reattempt Professor Henderson’s challenge as a second-year student, I think I only
