No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431
Connor Luther was speechless; his brows knitted together.
He was covered with ****for no good reason.
No one would feel good having such bad luck.
Connor looked at Lila Sutton’s terrified look.
He suddenly decided to mess around with her.
“Excellent, Lila. It looks like you remember what you just did. I don’t need to remind you then.”
“Of course, I want compensation from you. I hope you keep your word and be prepared.”
Connor tried to tidy up his suit instinctively.
He immediately retracted his hands when he realized he was covered with vomit.
He raised his eyebrows at Jane Fowler and gave her a look.
Jane was slightly stunned.
Ford Croft did not understand Connor’s hint to Jane. He quickly stood up and seized the opportunity to show off. “Connor, Miss Sutton didn’t do it on purpose. Moreover, you took the initiative to approach her in the first place. How could you demand her for compensation? It would not look good on you if words get out.”
Connor suddenly noticed Ford’s existence after he spoke. He sized the latter up and sneered, “Well, well, look who’s here? It’s Ford Croft. Did I ask for your advice on what to do?”
“Why you…”
Ford’s face darkened. He did not expect Connor to look down on him in public.
Ford was the most promising son of the Croft family’s first branch, after all.
Ford had heard Connor had a good relationship with Hugh Croft, whom he regarded as a ***********. He did not expect Connor to be so ********because of his connection. How dare Connor look down on him? Ford found it intolerable!
Moreover, it was in front of Jane. Ford decided to get back at Connor at all costs.
“All right then, how much does the young lady owe you? I’ll pay you on her behalf!”
Connor narrowed his eyes. “You want to pay for her? Who do you think you are? Do you know him, Lila?”
“What? I… I don’t know him.”
Lila did not remember Ford and much less cared about him.
She looked at Ford dumbfoundedly.
The crowd was amused by what they saw and broke out in laughter.
Ford had intended to save the damsel in distress, but the beauty in question was unaware of his existence.
Perhaps Lila did not want Ford to save her in the first place. It was a perfect excuse to be involved with the president of Luther Group, albeit an embarrassing one. It was an opportunity that many were envious of, nonetheless.
Some women took notes of Lila’s moves. Taking the initiative to throw themselves at Connor Luther and vomiting all over him seemed to be the best way to get his attention and become his lover.
“Perhaps it slipped your mind, but I’ve met you once, Miss Sutton. I’m also Miss Fowler’s friend. I can’t sit back and do nothing about this!”
“I’m also Miss Fowler’s friend” was what Ford emphasized loudly and proudly.
Connor raised his eyebrows and looked at Jane. “Jane, is he your friend?”
Jane had one hand in her pocket and shrugged casually. “He’s crazy. I don’t know him.”
The crowd erupted in boos after Ford was slammed by Jane.
Ford was humiliated. Every word he uttered thus far slapped him like an invisible hand.
“Miss Fowler, you…”
“Don’t call me by my name. I don’t know you that well. Anyway, I’ll leave Lila to you, Connor. I’ll have to take off now.” Jane waved her hand and was about to leave.
Jane knew that if she stayed behind, she would be an enormous third wheel in the universe. She had no interest in interfering with Connor and Lila’s affair.
“Miss Fowler!”
Ford left Lila alone when he realized that Jane was going. He quickly chased after her.
“Hey, Ford and Jane, wait for me! Don’t leave in such a hurry!”
Marlon Croft came to his senses and went after them hurriedly.
“What… what’s going on? Janie, wait for me. I’m coming with you!”
Lila was about to dash off when Connor held her back.
“Lila, you still owe me. You have to come with me now.”
Connor then pulled her away without any explanation.
Connor was not worried about Jane, knowing Hugh took good care of her.
Presently, his romance was more important than anything else.
Lila shouted warily, “Why are you pulling me, Connor? Don’t force me! I’m not selling my body!”
“You’ve soiled my clothes. Shouldn’t you help me clean up, huh? What do you mean by selling your body?”
Connor looked at Lila’s petite body with disdain. “Don’t worry, I’m not that desperate.”
He planned to wait for her to grow up a little and become more voluptuous before making a move.
“What the…”
Lila rolled her eyes furiously. She wished she could kick Connor in the groin.
He was way out of line!
In fact, Lila did not like Connor when they first met.
She had no idea how their relationship had improved over time.
Moreover, Lila had inexplicably taken on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt because of Connor!
Oh
my god! Lila’s initial hunch was correct, after all. Connor was a jinx!
The crowd dissipated when the show ended.
Although there was no ending to the drama, they decided it was worth their time.
It was a good show.
“Miss Fowler!”
Ford finally caught up to Jane before the elevator doors closed. He tried to squeeze into the elevator.
Jane was at a loss for words.
She immediately walked out of the elevator as soon as Ford entered.
She bumped into Marlon instead.
“Stop your crazy cousin. I don’t have time to waste on him.”
“Huh?” Marlon was confused.
“Miss Fowler, did I say something wrong just now? Please forgive me if I’ve confused you. I hoped to be of help to your friend so that she won’t be bullied.”
Ford got out of the elevator and stood in front of Jane, explaining nervously.
‘Connor is the future heir of Luther Group, a top-notch dignitary in Stormton City. He’s taller, more handsome, and with better status, not to mention younger and richer than you. Who asked you to stand up for my friend? The two of them have known each other for a long time! It was just a flirtation between a couple, for crying out loud!”
“What do my friend and I have to do with you in the first place? Did my friend look like she was being bullied, huh? If you can’t see clearly, go to the hospital for an eye checkup. I cannot treat your lack of perception!”
Ford was dumbfounded.
Not only Connor looked down on him.
Jane did not think highly of him either.
Ford was the Croft family’s eldest grandson for crying out loud!
Although Hugh was the leader of the Croft family at present, Ford was still his elder brother in terms of seniority.
Ford was born with a silver spoon in his ********. People around him paid him token respect, and no one dared to reject his wishes. How dared Jane reject his advances and hints repeatedly?
All the while, Ford was the one who constantly rejected and despised people but never the other way around.
