No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 21

Chapter 21
Jane’s words cut into Anna’s heart like daggers.
Anna had worried about Jane after her daughter had left the Fowler family, concerned that she might not be able to afford food or heating.

It appeared that she shouldn’t have. Her daughter was an ingrate!
“How could you speak this way to your mother, Jane!”
Diane was livid. Her branded bag swung violently on her arm as she stomped forward and glared at Jane.
“This has nothing to do with you! Besides, she’s not my mother. I disowned her.”
The sight of Diane dr*ve Jane mad.
The Fowlers had been excessively paranoid about Jane in her past life, and Diane, Anna’s best friend, had worsened things.
That was because Diane favored Madelyn and wanted Madelyn to be her daughter-in-law.
She was worried that Jane might try to covet her precious son, Layne.
The Crofts and the Fowlers agreed to a betrothal between their children. Jane was supposed to be Layne’s fiancee.
Madelyn had used the betrothal as an excuse to spurn Layne’s advances. As a result, Diane ended up venting her frustrations on Jane.
Honestly, Jane wasn’t interested in Layne at all. She had said that repeatedly but Diane simply didn’t believe her.
She treated Jane as a thorn in her side and wanted desperately to help the Fowler family rid themselves of Jane.
The Fowlers were a h*rrible b*nch who trusted the slanderous words of
liars and never believed Jane.
Diane was equally bad.
“What a rude girl! How dare you speak this way to your elders!
“If you weren’t Anna’s daughter, I would’ve given you a tight slap in the face and taught you a lesson on respecting your elders!”

As Raymond’s wife and a member of the Croft family, Diane had everyone waiting on her hand and foot wherever she went.
She had never been insulted by the likes of Jane.
The woman trembled in rage. How she wishes she could walk right up to Jane and give her a hard slap.
“That’s enough, lady!”
Lila slammed her fist on the table and stood up angrily. “We’re in the middle of a meal. What are you doing interrupting it? Get lost. Get lost right now!”
Lila was livid.

Dwayne and Madelyn had been the first straw.
Anna and Diane had been the last.
How could Janie’s family be so cr*el?
She had left the Fowler family. Why were they rubbing salt into her wounds?
The fact that they used the excuse of being worried about Janie and doing so for Janie’s good made things worse.
“What a rude girl. We’re talking to Jane. Why are you interrupting?”
Diane had stopped herself from hitting Jane because she didn’t want to embarrass Anna.
She didn’t have to hold back with Lila, though. In fact, her sudden interruption was heaven-sent. Diane had someone to vent her anger on
now.

Luther,” was printed on his

“Mr. Luther, thank God you’re here. Call the cops. I want to sue this woman for assault!”
Diane’s wrists were delicate things that had never suffered any kind of injury before.
What if the attack left some kind of scar? Jane wouldn’t be able to pay for the damage that she had caused!
“But…”
Anna frowned.
Jane might be a disappointment, but she was still her daughter.
If she were arrested and locked up in a cell, she would embarrass the Fowler family.
Anna’s concern, first and foremost, was for the Fowler family’s reputation. But it was clear that Diane was really upset.
After some thought, Anna decided to give Diane some time to calm down before she tried to speak on Jane’s behalf.
“Is that so?”
Luther’s reaction to Diane’s words was incredibly indifferent.
He eyed Jane with a look of intrigue.
“Miss, is she telling the truth?”
“You’ve got security cameras,” Jane replied coolly. “Check your tapes. She tried to attack my best friend first. I was defending my friend.”
