No Way Back

Chapter 33

Jane looked like she had seen a ghost as she stared at Dwayne.

Even Lila had a look of disbelief.

Dwayne Fowler.

The hot-tempered Dwayne Fowler who had wrongly accused Jane of being a thief. The Dwayne Fowler who had humiliated Jane in front of everyone.

Did he offer his apology to Jane today without being asked?

And he was so meek and did not lose his temper at all.

They thought that Dwayne had been replaced by someone else. Whatever it was, this was not the Dwayne Fowler they remembered.

“I know you’re very shocked,” Dwayne said. “That day, I was too hot-tempered and had falsely accused you.

“I am truly very sorry about that. I have a bad temper, but I’m not blind.” Dwayne was feeling a little upset.

It was because of the way Jane was looking at him.

She looked at him as if he was a brainless, rash, and impulsive idi*t.

Was she kidding him?

If Dwayne was truly such a person, how could he possibly have graduated early from the Sports University with the best results in the school’s history or made a name for himself at the World Wrestling Entertainment Tournament?

He had lost his cool that day because the incident had involved Madelyn. She was Dwayne’s most important and precious little sister.

“Hehe…”

Jane could not help but laugh lightly.

He did not think he was blind.

Now that was funny.

That had to be the funniest joke Jane had ever heard.

In Jane’s mind, every single member of the Fowler family was rotten to the

core. Nothing could save them.

They were not merely blind. Their hearts were rotten. They were possessed by the devil.

Otherwise, why would they be so cr*el to their biological sister and

daughter after being separated for 19 years?

Instead, they protected and coddled their adopted daughter Madelyn since she was young. They gave her everything she wanted.

The cost was the Fowler family abusing Jane. From physical to psychological, they humiliated her viciously. They forced her to fall into depression and contemplate self-cutting. She was even on the brink of committing suicide.

“I know you can’t stand me, Jane, but I don’t live for what you think of me. I’ve apologized, and my conscience is clear,” Dwayne said.

“I don’t want to let down the honor that I’ve gained or let down my teammates who believe in me. I was wrong, so I’ve admitted it.”

At the same time, Dwayne looked at the scald wound on Lila’s leg.

“Lila, allow me to apologize on my father’s behalf,” Dwayne said. “Tell me how much compensation you want, and we’ll settle this in private.”

That was what Dwayne assumed was best for pacifying Jane and Lila.

Did they really want Jack Fowler to apologize? That was impossible.

Once Jack, the father and the Emeritus Chairman of Fowler Corporation, lost his temper, even 10 oxen would not be able to drag him back.

Even his seven sons and precious Madelyn would not be able to persuade

him…

Except for Anna.

As time went by, they learned to go along with their father.

Jack Fowler was their father.

Simply on account of that relationship, he had his children completely under his control.

Moreover, Jack cared a lot about the Fowler family’s reputation and had also experienced all sorts of trouble.

He seldom lost
