No Way Back

Chapter 6 Leaving The Fowlers

“No need, Mr. Fowler.” Jane sneered, taking a deep breath and finally letting out the truth that had been brewing in her heart.

She continued, “You love Maddie so much that you won’t want anyone else to come along and challenge her status as the Fowler family’s heiress.

“I’ll give you what you wished for. From now on, my relationship with the Fowlers has ended, and I am no longer a member of your family!”

With that, Jane felt a huge burden lifted off her shoulders, and she walked upstairs without looking back at the Fowlers‘ stunned expressions.

After she returned downstairs with her bags packed and ready to go, all the others were shaken to the core. Jane just stood there with a simple bag and a plain backpack.

She shot a cold glance at them and strode out of the villa.

“You stop right there!” Jack yelled. He, at last, found the courage to speak. “Are you serious, Jane?”

“As serious as it can be, Mr. Fowler. Isn’t this what you all wanted?” Jane replied sarcastically as she walked out of the house without looking back.

Madelyn couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph. She had no idea why Jane would willingly give up her position in the Fowler family, but she was relieved that it had happened.

Madelyn’s excitement was off the charts, but she had an act to put on. “Peter, please go talk to Jane. I’m the one who needs to be leaving, not her,” Madelyn pleaded, tears streaming down her face. “Jane is just upset because you misunderstood her. Please, go talk to her.”

Madelyn yelled and sobbed uncontrollably while pulling on Peter’s arm, but he did not immediately respond to her.

Emotions were swirling around inside Peter. He believed that keeping Jane at home would only cause trouble for the family and threaten Madelyn’s position, so he wished for her to strike out on her own.

Also, Peter had to admit that Jane was his sister. He couldn’t deny it.
