No Way Back

Chapter 32

What the heck?

What a bombshell.

That was such a huge bomb.

It was simply too exciting.

Everyone present could not help but su*k in their breaths.

Before this, word about Jane being the biological daughter of the Fowler

family, who had been lost for 19 years, was the hot trending news.

Everyone thought that Jane’s story was like the Cinderella story.

What happened in the end?

What had they just heard?

Jane had given it up willingly.

She had severed ties with the Fowler family.

She was now no longer the Fowler family’s daughter.

Had Jane lost her mind?

“Janie, I’m fine,” Lila said. “You don’t have to do that. I don’t think Mr. Fowler did it on purpose…”

Lila looked worriedly at Jane.

Lila had not dared bring this up before because she was afraid it would touch on Jane’s raw nerves and make her sad.

However, Lila had not thought that Jane would say it in front of so many people.

This was so Jane could cut off every single relationship she had with the Fowler family.

But Lila was worried.

She worried that Jane’s heart would hurt.

“I must do this because he hurt you,” Jane replied. “I don’t care whether he

did it on purpose or not. He must apologize.”

Jane narrowed her eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

The Fowler family? She was long past caring about them.

The present Jane saw her so-called family ties with the Fowler family as nothing compared to a scar on Lila’s body.

Besides, Lila was dragged into Jane’s business with the Fowler family because of Jane. Lila was accidentally hurt because of Jane.

Hence, Jane had to get this apology for Lila.

“You want me to apologize? In your dreams,” Jack said.

“When Peter wakes up and tells me that you did something bad to him, Jane Fowler, I will make you pay!”

Jack was threatened in front of so many people by the biological daughter he looked down on.

As a man and a father, his pride did not allow him to apologize.

If he apologized now, Jack would become the laughingstock in Stormton City’s business world.

He was extremely furious now, so he stormed out.

“Fine,” Jane said. “Jack Fowler, you will regret this.”

Jane knew very well that a sc*mbag like Jack would never swallow his pride and apologize for his mistakes.

Each member of the Fowlers was more disg*sting than the last. She felt

si*k.

They hurt others and did not care about finding out the truth. Yet they sat on their high horses and pretended to be doing charity.

It was like they were telling others that it was their honor to be wronged by the Fowler family.

And no one had no right to reject it. One could only accept.

Jane’s stomach started to ache a little.

She had taken a life-threatening bullet to save such a shameless man, her father, and had her life hanging by a thread.

Jane wanted to give herself a good scolding.

How could she have been so st*pid?

“Janie, are you okay?” Lila asked.

22:32 F

She noticed that Jane did not look too good and quickly ran over to support

her.

“I’m fine, Lila,” Jane said. “Don’t worry about me. I will make sure Jack Fowler apologizes. I will make sure he does right by you.”

Jane clenched her fists. Her eyes were ablaze She looked ready to go for Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

the k*ll.

“Janie, it’s okay. You don’t have to. Really,” Lila said. “I only wish for you to be happy and joyful. We’re fine. Let’s not have anything more to do with the Fowler family.”

Seeing Jane like this, Lila felt a strong ache in her heart.

Lila’s small injury was nothing compared to Jane’s.

But Jane seemed to turn into a different person every time the Fowler family was involved.

It was like a closed wound that had been ripped open again and was bleeding fresh blood.

It was a pain that suffocated her.

Nobody could have imagined that Stormton City’s top wealthy family, the Fowler family, which was the envy of everyone, was made up of such ruthless monsters.

There was no point in regretting her failure to stop Jane from returning to the Fowler family.

Lila only wanted to take Jane’s hand and get as far away as possible from the Fowler family.

“Don’t worry, Lila, this doesn’t pain me. I’m very alert now because I saw the Fowler family’s true colors a long time ago.

“This is not about getting involved with them. This is about you.

“If I dragged my best friend into this mess and cannot protect you, then I’d rather be dead.”

Being able to live her life again was a god-given chance. Jane could not continue being a wimp and avoid the Fowler family. She also could not keep her head in the sand and do nothing after being bullied.

Jane needed to allow herself to bloom and flourish, to be beautiful and

22 32

follow her heart, and to be free and never restrained again.

The Fowler family? They had gotten on the wrong side of Jane, and she did not care if they were destroyed.

After all, Jane was past caring about them. She also did not want to be hurt again by that so-called family.

Seeing how resolute Jane was and that nobody could change her mind, Lila decided to sht her m*uth.

Lila had promised that no matter what happened, she would always stick by Jane and support her.

Lila remembered her promise. It was for the past, present, and future.

Thus, Lila did not try to stop Jane again.

Her heart felt very warm and peaceful.

“Thanks, Janie,” Lila thought.

Lila thought how wonderful it was to have met Jane and become best friends.

Jack had simply walked away, leaving behind a mess.

Dwayne had no choice but to clean up after his father.

Although Dwayne was a professional fighter, his education from the Fowler family was still very much in his bones. It was the influence of being of noble blood in the rich, upper-class society.

He was very familiar with how to deal with such matters.

Plus, he was almost six feet nine inches tall and very muscular. His chest muscles were bulging, and he had an eight-pack abdomen. He was well-tanned and had a pair of eyes that seemed to be shooting fire. Those eyes were so aggressive that nobody dared to look straight into them. Even when fully clothed, one felt Dwayne’s oppressive presence.

After Dwayne had identified himself and his reason for coming, the security guards began to take Dwayne’s orders without thinking twice.

The security guards started to check all the students’ phones and deleted all related videos and photos.

What about students who refused to comply or claimed that they did not take any videos and so did not want to hand over their phones?

22.32

That was fine too.

The Fowler family was one of the University of Oricle’s donors.

At the same time, they were a power not to be underestimated in Stormton

City.

Anyone found to have leaked any videos would suffer a terrible death.

A lawsuit was still mild. They would get f*ced with a huge compensation bill to pay, forced to quit school, or not be able to find a job after graduation.

They would have to face the consequences by themselves.

Nobody dared to mess with the Fowler family.

They were a rich and powerful family in Stormton City.

Some of the students present were also from rich families.

Their families would find out if their child had offended the Fowler family.

When they did, their child would be sent packing and kicked out of the family immediately.

Nobody wished to have their future end like that.

Thus, all of them obediently deleted their videos and photos.

The security guards also would not speak to anyone about what happened in the cafeteria that day.

After checking all the students’ phones and clearing all of them, Dwayne quickly requested that the security guards delete all the footage from the surveillance cameras.

After cleaning up the mess his father had created, Dwayne finally looked at Jane. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

Jane did not leave. She seemed to be doing something on her phone.

When Jane noticed Dwayne looking at her, she quickly put away her phone. and gave a cold smile.

“This is indeed the Fowlers family’s way of handling things. After committing a mistake, you forced everyone to keep quiet and delete all of the evidence to prevent anybody from smearing the Fowler family’s reputation and to stop any negative news from spreading.

“You are despicable!” Jane yelled.

22:32

“Well? Do you want to check my phone too?”

“No need,” Dwayne said.

He had already checked all the other students’ phones.

Nobody had sent any videos or photos.

There was also no mention of Jane’s WeChat or phone contact details.

At the same time, Jane had not taken out her phone at all to film her confrontation with Jack.

All of the evidence had been destroyed, and the surveillance videos had been erased.

Dwayne could not help but raise his eyebrows.

If it were Dwayne in the past, he would have exploded in anger by now and forced Jane to hand over her phone for him to check.

It would have been like what happened at the Porsche 4S dealer’s office. Without any evidence, he had accused Jane of being a thief. They had even ended up at the police station.

Jane, his supposed biological sister, was a blemish to Dwayne. It was because Jane threatened to affect his beloved sister Madelyn’s standing in the family.

He wished to get rid of Jane as soon as possible.

But what had changed today?

Dwayne did not forcibly take Jane’s phone.

It seemed like he had gotten better control over his anger.

However, that was none of Jane’s concern.

Dwayne could search Jane’s phone all he wanted.

Jane had already taken all precautions.

She was confident that Dwayne would not be able to find anything.

Dwayne took a very deep breath.

“What… What do you want?” Lila asked.

Lila hated Dwayne. She hated him to the core.

He was the man who had colluded with Madelyn at the Porche 4S dealer’s

22:32

office and falsely accused Jane. He had hurt and embarrassed Jane.

Lila eyed Dwayne suspiciously. She even automatically thrust out her arms protectively in front of Jane.

Dwayne was so well-built that it was obvious that he was not someone to pick a fight with. Lila should have been steering clear away from him.

For Jane’s sake, Lila was willing to fight.

“I’m sorry, Jane. Dad was indeed too impulsive earlier. I hope that you’ll try to understand him. He’s simply very worried about Peter.”

Jane was dumbfounded.
