No Way Back

No Way Back By Anna Mac 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. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

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.”

Jane had to make this clear to Victor.

Otherwise, Victor would think that Jane had something to do with the Fowler family.

It sounded annoying.

“Since you know that I’ve investigated you, you should also know the real reason why I called you here today.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Hugh getting close to a woman. He’s the head of the Croft family. Sooner or later, he’ll get married and have children.

“I can’t correct Hugh’s thoughts and let him be as clear-sighted as me. Fortunately, Hugh’s talent is far beyond my imagination. At least when Hugh is still alive, the Croft family will be fine.

“Jane, although this is the first time I’ve met you, I can tell that you’re unfathomable. You’re qualified to be Hugh’s wife.”

With that, Victor took out a small box from his pocket and placed it in front of Jane.

He signaled with his eyes, hoping that Jane would accept this item.

“Whether I’m qualified or not is not up to you, and no one but me can decide whether I’ll be Hugh’s wife or not. Through it all, you have no right to play God in our relationship!” said Jane coldly.

She stood up and did not accept the small box.

“Old Mr. Croft, I roughly know what you mean. There’s still a long time. Hugh and I are young. We don’t need to make a decision now. That would be irresponsible to each other.

“One more thing, Old Mr. Croft, I won’t give up my life for anyone again. I’ll decide how to live my life.

“Even if I end up with Hugh, my title won’t be Hugh’s wife, but Jane Fowler!”

With that, Jane left without looking back.

Now that she knew Victor’s motive.

Jane had no reason to stay any longer.

It was obvious that Victor wanted Jane to be an ***puppet.

Jane didn’t know how Hugh’s grandmother make it through in the Croft family.

However, Jane would not accept such values being imposed on her!

Seeing that Jane was about to leave, Harper hurriedly went forward. “Miss Jane Fowler…”

Jane said coldly, “Harper, I don’t want to make things unpleasant. Please don’t stop me.”

Harper didn’t know what to say.

“Let her go.”

Victor instructed.

He picked up another cup of black tea and took a sip.

“Jane, come and have tea with me when you’re free. As long as you’re here, I’ll treat you well!”

Without giving him a response, Jane left.

Victor laughed loudly. “Heh, what a stubborn girl. Harper, don’t you think she’s like my wife when she just married me?” Harper’s eyes became thoughtful. In a daze, a woman in a yellow floral dress flashed across his mind. She was as beautiful and bright as a sunflower. He nodded.

“Indeed. Old Mr. Croft, are we just going to let Miss Jane Fowler leave?”

“With her temper, she won’t listen to me now. Besides, she’s Hugh’s fiancée. Do you want me, his grandfather, to help him woo her?” –

Victor snorted.

He wasn’t going to do such a thankless task with no subsidies!

Harper opened his ***as if he wanted to say something, but he bit the words back.

“Alright, Harper, we’ve been friends for so many years. Don’t be bashful.

“Come, sit down. If you have anything to say, just say it. There are so many pastries. Don’t waste them.”

There were no outsiders. In front of Harper, Victor seemed to have become much younger. He had returned to the carefree young man from before.

At this moment, he was not a cruel tyrant who could chop off his granddaughter with a knife.

“But Old Mr. Croft, Mr. Hugh is related to the Croft family’s future. You have to be more careful about the Croft family’s

future mistress.”

Harper still spoke.

This was not what a butler should say to his boss.
