No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263
“This is the first time I’ve ever heard such a piece. It’s amazing!”
“It has a magic power that can make it strike a chord with people. How should I put the style? It’s so heartwarming.”
“It’s like someone who’s in a desperate situation and can’t see any hope suddenly saw a beam of light that illuminates the path ahead and guides him to proceed along”
Marlon and the others closed their eyes and listened carefully
The same scene appeared in their minds.
“The Fragrance Always Stays in the Hand That Gives the Rose.”
Jane suddenly blurted it out.
“Huh? Queen, what did you say?”
Hearing that, Liliana, who was sitting by Jane’s side asked in confusion.
Did she hear it wrong?
“The Fragrance Always Stays in the Hand That Gives the Rose. This is the name of this piano piece.”
“Queen, have you heard this piano piece before?”
Marlon asked curiously.
“Well, sort of.”
Jane didn’t think it was appropriate to tell Marlon that she was young and frivolous when she was learning with the Teacher abroad and played the piece on a whim.
At that time, Jane did not figure out a name for the piano piece, but she memorized the score.
She could perfectly replay any piano piece she improvised.
The piece ended.
Leia let out a long sigh.
She was a bit nervous.
After all, she was performing in front of so many people from the upper class.
Especially, Aaron and his parents were watching as well.
Leia had secretly practiced this piece countless times.
She wanted to perform as perfectly as the girl in the video.
Now…
She made it!
At this point, someone applauded.
Leia looked over.
Then she saw Aaron.
Aaron was the first to stand up and applaud her.
His eyes were shining with excitement.
Seeing Aaron applaud, Anna and Jack came to their senses and clapped as well.
The entire restaurant instantly erupted into thunderous applause.
Leia lifted her red dress and bowed to the guests elegantly before going backstage.
Aaron’s action made him become the focus of everyone’s attention.
When Jane Saw him, her lips curled into a sneer.
“I didn’t expect Uncle Jack and the others to be here too…”
Liliana looked at Jane worriedly.
“It’s fine. Just take them as air and ignore them. Don’t let them spoil our appetite.”
Jane wouldn’t leave without eating simply because the Fowlers were here.
She didn’t owe them anything.
On the contrary, the Fowler family owed her two lives.
If the Fowlers still had any sense of ***, they should steer clear of her.
Even though…
Jane did not think that the Fowler family understood the meaning of “the sense of ***.”
“You’re right.”
Noticing that Jane didn’t seem to be upset, Liliana responded softly.
After that, she added.
“Queen, I feel like… you’ve changed.”
Every time Jane met the Fowlers before, she was a little annoyed.
But now, Liliana did not sense that she was the least bit unhappy.
It was as if Jane had uprooted the Fowler family from her mind and they no longer meant a lot to her.
“Perhaps… I’ve found someone more important.”
Jane’s lips curled up into a smile.
Her three senior brothers… Perhaps she had more than three senior brothers.
And the Teacher, who was enjoying his life somewhere in the world, watching the flowers bloom and the tide rise and fall every day
And…
The “love” that she had never enjoyed, the “friendship that she had given up, and the “values” that she had never thought of in her previous life.
In this life, Jane found them all one by one.
Now that Jane already had so much, the so-called “family” was no longer so important to her.
It had become dispensable.
“Who is that person? Queen, I really want to know who could make you say something like that.”
Connor asked curiously
“It’s you guys, my partners.”
“Queen, you’re so annoying. You’re obviously referring to someone else and joking around with us.”
Connor complained.
However, despite what he said, he was secretly pleased.
The performance ended.
The lights were switched on again.
The appetizer, main course, and dessert Jane and the others ordered were served one by one.
“It tastes good. Queen, try it.”
“This pudding is yummy! Queen, try it!”
“Queen…”
Jane looked at the delicious food piled up like a small hill on her plate and propped her hand on her forehead helplessly. “Alright, I have hands and I know what I want to eat. You guys, leave me alone and enjoy your food. You’re making me look like a patient.”
*Come on, Queen, just let us serve you. I’m good in every way. I’m 6 feet 3 inches tall with eight-pack abs. I often work out and I’ve been on a diet. I’m handsome and rich, I can either behave like a domineering king or a puppy, and I’m super good at warming the bed!”
Connor looked at Jane affectionately as he placed a peeled shrimp on her plate.
Jane was speechless.
Liliana poked the back of Connor’s hand with her fork and said coldly. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you telling Queen this?”
“Humph! What’s wrong with that? Queen is so young, beautiful, and talented. It’s normal for a man to fall for her.
“Liliana, I said this because I was confident in myself Are you jealous? Don’t tell me that you’re actually interested in
mel
“Connor, get lost!”
Liliana could not hold back her anger anymore and cursed.
“Ahem… Actually, I’m also a little….attracted to Queen”
Marlon raised his hand silently
He took a careful look at Jane’s face.
Then, he lowered her head like a shy girl.
“Me… Me too.”
Marquise, who had not spoken much, stammered, blushing
“What?” Jane was stupefied.
What was wrong with those guys?
Why did they make their relationships so complicated?
She treated them as her brothers, but they wanted to sleep with her!
“Did you hear that? Liliana, no man can resist the charm of an outstanding woman like Queen!”
Connor made a face at Liliana.
Liliana didn’t expect Marlon and Marquise to be on Connor’s side.
Wow!
What did that mean?
That meant their captain was so outstanding that she became the object of women’s jealousy and men’s obsession! Liliana gritted her teeth. “Queen, ignore these three male animals who are full of **minds. The three of you! Focus on your food and listen to Queen. If Queen loses her appetite because of you guys, I’ll definitely kick your **!” “Yes… Let’s eat first.”
Jane did not know how to deal with such an occasion, so she simply lowered her head and ate
“It tastes so good! Luther Group’s Cloudnine Restaurant serves wonderful food, and so does its branch,” thought Jane. After finishing the food on her plate, Jane left on the pretext of going to the ladies’ room.
Liliana shot a glare at the three guys. “Look! It’s all your fault. Queen is embarrassed because of your nonsense!”
“Liliana, we’re not talking nonsense! We’re serious! We’ve never been so serious!
“We must be kidding if we say that we don’t have any feelings for Queen!”
Connor looked at Liliana seriously.
“Connor is right.”
“I thought the same way.”
Marlon and Marquise both agreed.
Liliana had no idea what to say
“Liliana, has your heart never flipped for Queen?
“Queen is our powerful leader. She trusts us and dispels the darkness for our future. Don’t you have feelings for her that go beyond friendship?”
Connor raised his glass, took a sip, and stared meaningfully at Liliana’s face with a wicked smile.
“Are you kidding me, Connor? Queen and I are both women. Besides, we’re distant relatives. If you continue to talk nonsense, I’ll ***your head off!”
Liliana explained nervously as if her secret was suddenly exposed. She picked up her glass and began to drink the high-end Lafite.
Her face blushed instantly.
Marlon, Connor, and Marquise were dumbfounded.
They were just saying it casually.
Why did Liliana’s face suddenly turn red?
It was probably because of the alcohol.
Could it be that Jane was so charming that even Liliana fell for her? Gosh!
