No Way Back

No Way Back By Anna Mac Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Jane’s words cut into Anna’s heart like daggers.

Anna had worried about Jane after her daughter had left the Fowler family, concerned that she might not be able to afford food or heating.

It appeared that she shouldn’t have. Her daughter was an ingrate!

“How could you speak this way to your mother, Jane!”

Diane was livid. Her branded bag swung violently on her arm as she stomped forward and glared at Jane.

“This has nothing to do with you! Besides, she’s not my mother. I disowned her.”

The sight of Diane dr*ve Jane mad.

The Fowlers had been excessively paranoid about Jane in her past life, and Diane, Anna’s best friend, had worsened things.

That was because Diane favored Madelyn and wanted Madelyn to be her daughter-in-law.

She was worried that Jane might try to covet her precious son, Layne.

The Crofts and the Fowlers agreed to a betrothal between their children. Jane was supposed to be Layne’s fiancee.

Madelyn had used the betrothal as an excuse to spurn Layne’s advances. As a result, Diane ended up venting her frustrations on Jane.

Honestly, Jane wasn’t interested in Layne at all. She had said that repeatedly but Diane simply didn’t believe her.

She treated Jane as a thorn in her side and wanted desperately to help the Fowler family rid themselves of Jane.

The Fowlers were a h*rrible b*nch who trusted the slanderous words of

liars and never believed Jane.

Diane was equally bad.

“What a rude girl! How dare you speak this way to your elders!

“If you weren’t Anna’s daughter, I would’ve given you a tight slap in the face and taught you a lesson on respecting your elders!”

As Raymond’s wife and a member of the Croft family, Diane had everyone waiting on her hand and foot wherever she went.

She had never been insulted by the likes of Jane.

The woman trembled in rage. How she wishes she could walk right up to Jane and give her a hard slap.

“That’s enough, lady!”

Lila slammed her fist on the table and stood up angrily. “We’re in the middle of a meal. What are you doing interrupting it? Get lost. Get lost right now!”

Lila was livid.
