No Way Back

No Way Back By Anna Mac Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Madelyn Kneeling Down

The scene after hanging up the phone was bizarre.

The expressions on Jack and Anna’s faces, as well as Peter’s, were all those of extreme embarrassment.

That was mainly because they had just falsely accused Jane.

After careful consideration, they realized that there were indeed many loopholes in Richard’s words. They only found a small amount of evidence. Still, they used it to fabricate an accusation that Jane was intentionally spreading rumors to coerce the Fowler family into recognizing her as the true heiress.

It was still their underlying mistrust of Jane and too much favoring of Madelyn that had caused the whole fuss.

Every time they saw Madelyn sad and upset, they immediately lost their cool.

“Janie, I’m really sorry. Daddy and they lost their cool when they realized I was too upset. This is all my fault. Only if I hadn’t joined this family!” Madelyn sobbed.

She broke the silence and the awkwardness when she walked over to Jane, tears in her eyes, and prepared to kneel before her.

“Maddie, what are you doing?” Peter, who was the closest to them, quickly yelled as he pulled Madelyn up. Madelyn, however, had a firm resolve and knelt, saying, “Peter, I have to do this. This is my fault, and I won’t get up if Jannie doesn’t forgive us!”

Madelyn dropped to her knees on the ground with a dull thud.

Tears kept falling from her cheeks.

“Maddie, what are you doing? Get up quickly!” Jack yelled.

Jack and Anna quickly went to help Madelyn, who had collapsed on the ground.

They were profoundly moved by Madelyn’s efforts to be a good daughter.

At that moment, any remaining doubts about Madelyn in their hearts vanished without a trace.

They knew that it was impossible for such a kind, selfless person who always thought of the Fowler family to devise such a terrible scheme.

Thus, they firmly believed that it must be someone else.

“Jane, we owe you an apology. Don’t worry. I will find out who is behind this and make them pay for what they have done. I can’t believe they were trying to hurt my family!” Jack said, furious at the thought of someone trying to sow discord in his family.

“Anyone who dares to tarnish the Fowler family’s reputation will have me to deal with,” he added, gritting his teeth. This kind of scheming was something that Jack could not tolerate.

Above all else, Jack prioritized maintaining peace in his family.
