No Way Back

Chapter 426

Anna Fowler was upset by Raymond Croft’s suggestion. “You are such a selfish and reckless man, Raymond Croft! I would splash the tea in my cup on your face if it weren’t for Diane and Layne!”

“How are you helping the Fowler family with your suggestion? You’re hurting us instead! Given the circumstance, do you honestly think we have the right to ask Jane to fulfill this ***********engagement? She will only **********us even more at the mention of it and wish she could ***us with her own hands!”

“Moreover, Layne and Maddie have always been connected. Their union is what our families truly want. Maddie had always rejected Layne in the past because of Jane. How dare you use our children’s lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip? Do you care about them at all? You only think about your selfish interests!”

Anna trembled with anger as she spoke.

Evidently, Raymond did not show any respect for Jack and Anna Fowler, neither did he respect their daughters, Jane and Madelyn, not to mention his own son, Layne.

What went through Raymond’s mind? Did he think Jack and Anna would give up their friendship for benefits? That they would eagerly run to their estranged daughter, Jane, and ask her to marry a man she did not like in the first place? Moreover, Jane had already cut ties with the Fowler family. Even if she had not, Anna would never force her daughter to marry Layne for benefits!

The engagement promise was a wrong decision from the beginning!

“Anna, you don’t have to refuse me right away. Just sleep on it for a while. Don’t lose your mind because of anger. You and Jack have always wanted to repair your relationship with Jane. My suggestion gives you a reason and gives Jane a way out. I was not crazy when I thought of this solution. As a matter of fact, I was very clear-headed!”

Raymond was confident in his power as the Croft family’s second branch.

It was the Croft family, after all. Other than paling in comparison to Hugh Croft of the D.Y. Group in Stormton City, even Michael Croft from the first family branch could not match up to Raymond.

However, Raymond needed one turning point. If Jane were willing to fulfill the engagement and marry Layne, the Croft family would surely reap the benefits of the union. Besides the Fowler family’s support, Jane’s reputation would bring many benefits too.

Not to mention Mr. ***and Jane’s countless connections.

No matter how Raymond looked at it, it was a profitable deal!
