No Way Back

Chapter 149

Diane still had to pay attention to how she acted.

She had spoken without meaning to just then and did not control her volume.

She had already attracted the attention of many people.

“Marlon, why are you with Jane?”

Layne frowned, though his eyebrows did not leave a crease when he did.

He looked at Marlon with hostility.

There was no other reason.

It was because Layne looked down on this spoiled youngest son of the third branch of the family from the bottom of his heart.

Rumor had it that he dropped out of university without even finishing his ***.

He would either go out to ***around all day or stay in his room and make a mess.

If not for the Croft family’s support, how would Marlon have had the funds to squander away like this? However…

At a family gathering. Hugh personally talked to Marlon.

He even praised Marlon.

Even Marlon’s parents were shocked for a long time.

One must know that Hugh existed in the Croft family as the most outstanding and most capable one. They had high hopes for him.

Even as relatives, they were jealous of Hugh and afraid of his ability simultaneously.

Hugh rarely took his relatives seriously.

For Marlon to be held in such esteem by Hugh….

No one had expected this!

When Layne saw this happening, he thought that Hugh had gone crazy.

Immediately, he became deeply jealous of Marlon.

Why had Hugh taken a fancy to such a good-for-nothing fellow, who relied on his aging parents and had dropped out of school?!

“Why can’t I be with Jane? Do I need you to care who I’m with?”

Marlon looked at Layne as if he were looking at an ***.

Marlon wasn’t a ***. Naturally, he knew that Layne looked down on him.

As for the capabilities that Marlon had, he disdained to tell anyone.

He liked the feeling of being low-profile.

This did not mean that Marlon would allow Layne, who looked down on him, to humiliate him!

“You?! Marlon Croft, how dare you talk to me like that!”

“Marlon Croft! What did Uncle teach you? How dare you argue with your elders like this? Apologize!”

Diane and Layne were indeed mother and son.
