No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Diane was so frightened by Hugh that her face had gone pale.

The person Diane feared most in Stormton City was none other than Hugh Croft.

However, Diane was Hugh’s aunt, and besides, there were many people watching them…

If word got out that she had been frightened and run off due to what Hugh said, she would lose the respect of the other socialites.

“Hugh, I am, after all, your aunt. How can you speak to me in such a manner?” asked Diane.

At this point, Diane was still trying to lord over Hugh with her seniority.

Connor Luther sniggered.

He thought Diane Croft was really d**mb.

She was trying to flex her seniority on Hugh.

Connor wondered if Diane knew Hugh hated people who did that.

“I’m only addressing you as Aunt because I’m in a good mood. Even Raymond has to kneel to me if I’m in a bad mood!

“Who do you think you are?” asked Hugh coldly.

It was as expected.

Diane’s words had hit a sore spot with Hugh.

Hugh’s low menacing tone made Diane’s chest tighten in fear.

She felt suffocated.

“Hugh…

“Hugh Croft!

“The b**stard!” thought Diane angrily.

“Diane, I… I do not feel well all of a sudden. Can you go to the hospital with

me? I do not want to eat anymore….”

Anna Fowler grimaced and clutched at her chest as if in great pain.

“Oh no! Anna, are you okay? Hang on, I’ll send you to the hospital

immediately!” exclaimed Diane.

With Anna as an excuse, Diane hurriedly helped Anna out of Cloudnine Restaurant.

Anna turned her gaze to Jane, who was behind her.

Jane moved away from Anna’s gaze without a thought.

Her expression was as cold as ice.
