No Way Back

Chapter 253

“Miss Jane Fowler, it looks like you’re quite confident dealing with the Croft family.”

Victor picked up a cup of steaming black tea.

He took a sip.

He then heaved a sigh comfortably.

“Miss Jane Fowler… Hmm, I’ll call you Jane instead.”

“Whatever. Anything that makes you happy.

“But… you don’t seem to have any animosity towards me. You must have asked me here because of Hugh.”

Jane went straight to the point.

It was not Jane’s nature to beat around the bush with Victor.

Jane was not interested in saying something in a roundabout way.

Victor took another sip of black tea.

He was not in a hurry to answer Jane’s question.

Jane did not speak and waited quietly.

She was even calmer than Victor.

“Jane, do you think everyone has their own value in a place like the Croft family?”

Victor suddenly replied with an irrelevant question.

Jane thought for a moment before replying.

“…You mean, everyone has their values, right?

“Just like Luna. In your heart, I’m afraid she’s just a stepping stone for Hugh.

“No… It’s not just Luna. Anyone who wants to compete for the position of power in this family against Hugh has their values.

“Their value lies in testing whether Hugh can bear the entire Croft family as the heir of the family.”
