No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Peter noticed the impatience and disgust in Jane’s expression.

He suddenly remembered the way Jane looked when she humbled herself and begged to try to please him, and the way she had yearned for warmth from her family.

Had he looked at Jane the way she was looking at him now?

Peter shook his head.

D**mn it. Why was his mind filled with such nonsense now?

“Jane, regarding Professor Henderson’s program…”

“Oh, I guess you must want to see me about that matter,” Jane said. “What about it? I broke your record. Now that you’re beneath me, you can’t stand it.

“As the seventh son of the Fowler family, surely you aren’t so petty, are you? Or are you a d*mbass who can’t stand others who are better than you and want revenge?”

Jane taunted Peter with her eyes.

Peter secretly clenched his fists.

“Jane, I’m not here to pick a fight. I am really surprised that you broke my record.

“What I want to know is that since you have such an ability, why didn’t you show it earlier?”

Jane was speechless.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold after hearing Peter’s words.

Even the warm sunlight could not penetrate her.

She seemed to be completely covered in ice.

Why?

That’s right. Why?

Jane would never forget her fo*lish reason.

She had a reason for hiding her true ability.

She was afraid of hurting Peter.

Peter had put his heart and soul into pursuing his dream.

But Jane had easily surpassed Peter’s achievements with her “gift.”

She had reached a new height that Peter could never ever achieve.

Jane was afraid that Peter would h*te her, his biological sister, even more, and refuse to have anything to do with her.

Thus, Jane fo*lishly sealed her talent with her own hands.

At college, Jane had scored enough to pass. She did that to hide her ability to surpass Peter.

Their sibling relationship was something that Jane had craved for 19 years. It was a warmth that had not been easy for her to get back.

Jane was afraid of the cold, afraid of being lonely, and afraid of being alone in the world. She saw everyone else with a father, mother, brothers, and sisters to protect them, grow together, and support each other.

But she did not have anyone.

Jane was afraid of being disliked and thrown out by the Fowler family, only to become a lonely orphan again.

The Fowler family already disliked Jane very much. With Madelyn’s existence, nobody in the family gave Jane any attention.

Jane thought that she could not do anything more to be h*ted by her family.

She then hid away her ability. It was like a bird breaking its wings, which it was proud of, to hide its ability to fly.

Instead, she turned into a pitiful w*rm who bent over backward to please

others and lived for others.

“What I want to do is none of your business.

“Mr. Fowler, please do not forget that we have severed our ties. We are no longer related to each other.

“I am no longer part of the Fowler family. I have nothing to do with your family.”

After saying that, Jane turned and left.

“Jane, I haven’t finished my question!”

Peter gritted his teeth. “If you wish to break all ties with the Fowler family, that’s up to you But if you had revealed your talent earlier…”

Peter liked and respected a strong person.

That was especially true regarding someone in Peter’s dream field.

If he had known earlier that Jane possessed such talent, perhaps they could have had something in common to talk about.

Maybe Peter would not have h*ted Jane so much or said such mean things to her. Perhaps the siblings’ relationship would have made a turn for the better.

“Hahaha!”

Jane could not help but laugh.

She laughed louder and louder.

She put down her school bag and laughed, holding her stomach.

She laughed until tears rolled down her cheeks.

Jane’s sudden, unexplained laughter caused Peter to panic a little.

“What… What are you laughing at?” Peter asked.
