No Way Back

Chapter 252

Hugh said this expressionlessly.

As the person who had been taught by Victor, he was once closest to Victor.

Hugh had long seen through the nature of Victor’s survival.

“You’re right… I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I suddenly feel sorry for him. I’m clearly quite pitiful myself. “But your grandfather looks so powerful. I offend him. I got the feeling that this is supposed to be a trap.”

Jane pouted.

The corners of Hugh’s ****curled up into a faint smile. “Now you’re afraid?”

“A little. Well, I surely got enough confidence to do such a thing and I’m prepared for taking the consequence. “Victor’s reaction is within my expectations. Moreover… I got you as my back even if the sky falls, right?”

Jane looked at Hugh with a trusting gaze.

“It’s my lifelong honor to be your knight.”

Hugh generously and seriously gave Jane a promise to protect her for the rest of her life.

He couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life with Jane.

And he would never leave her!

The current Hugh was capable of giving her such a sense of security!

He could protect the woman he loved deeply to keep her safe and away from any harm!

At this moment…

There was a soft knock on the door.

“Mr. Hugh Croft, Miss Jane Fowler, may I come in?”

It was the butler who led Hugh and Jane in.

Hugh said softly, “This butler has served the Croft family for 60 years. I heard that he grew up with Grandpa. His name is Harper Larson.”

“I can feel that… he has an extraordinary aura. I guess he can achieve something by relying on his own ability even if he leaves the Croft family.”

Jane was confident that her judgment of people was extremely ****.

Jane was especially self-assured when it came to someone who could make her feel this way.

Gold would glitter forever.

“Since someone like Harper continues to work for Victor and the Croft family, there must be a reason.”

“That’s right. With the opportunity to serve Grandpa, his family moved up the social ladder.

“Perhaps Harper can make something of himself if he is out on his own, but I’m sure what he gets eventually is less than if he follows Grandpa.”

Hugh was certain of this.
