Chapter 12 Heartless Fowlers

It was totally out of Peter’s expectations.

There wasn’t even a hint of pain coming from Jane Fowler.

His verbal attack came so suddenly, and his tone left them with no leeway.

Peter did not realize that he felt a touch of panic in the face of Jane’s heartlessness.

“I did help you back in the bar. How could you treat someone who had shown you kindness with such an

attitude?”

“That’s what I am. Did you regret helping someone ungrateful?”

Jane replied without any form of courtesy.

Jane Fowler refused to bow low to others and lived a dog’s life ever again.

Especially towards the Fowlers.

She had never owed the Fowlers anything at all.

“You!”

“Mr. Fowler, stop criticizing Jane!”

Lila could no longer hold back when she saw Peter keep pushing Jane. “Do you know how much Jane longed for her family? Why don’t you and your family think about what you have done to her that she would say something so mean?‘

Tears flowed from her reddened eyes as she spoke.

She wiped away her tears and raised her head, glaring at Peter, who was still astonished.

“I will not allow you and your family to bully Jane again.”

“You’re an asshole!”

Even a bystander like Lila felt terrible for Jane.

How could Peter Fowler, a brother related by blood, scold Jane and say so many mean words that hurt her so badly?

Jane had been missing for nineteen long years and yearned for her family’s love and protection the most at this time. Were the Fowlers heartless?

Not only did they not care for her, they even hurt her. Why would they reunite with her in the first place if they wanted to hurt her instead of caring for her? They gave her hope and pushed her into a more bottomless abyss after. She was a daughter of the Fowlers, not an enemy of the family. She was Peter’s sister by blood.

“..”

Peter was speechless.

After all, the main reason for Jane’s departure was because of the misunderstanding they had.

That was also the reason Peter was still concerned about Jane.

It was because of the guilt he had for her.

“It’s okay, Lila!”

“The Fowlers meant nothing to me now.”

Jane reached out to wipe Lila’s tears as she comforted her softly.

She was too blind in the past.

The Fowlers were more important to her than her own life, while they saw her as just a mere weed.

She had almost neglected the true friendship she originally had that others would kill for.

Peter’s heart skipped a beat when he heard what she said.

It seemed that the gentle girl always tip–toeing on eggshells and longing for her family’s love was gone for good.

“Never return to the Fowlers if you dare, Jane. Jokes on you if you regret one day.”

Peter fled in despair after landing his final words.
