No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 149

Chapter 149
Diane still had to pay attention to how she acted.
She had spoken without meaning to just then and did not control her volume.
She had already attracted the attention of many people.
“Marlon, why are you with Jane?”
Layne frowned, though his eyebrows did not leave a crease when he did.
He looked at Marlon with hostility.
There was no other reason.
It was because Layne looked down on this spoiled youngest son of the third branch of the family from the bottom of his heart.
Rumor had it that he dropped out of university without even finishing his ***.
He would either go out to ***around all day or stay in his room and make a mess.
If not for the Croft family’s support, how would Marlon have had the funds to squander away like this? However…
At a family gathering. Hugh personally talked to Marlon.
He even praised Marlon.
Even Marlon’s parents were shocked for a long time.
One must know that Hugh existed in the Croft family as the most outstanding and most capable one. They had high hopes for him.
Even as relatives, they were jealous of Hugh and afraid of his ability simultaneously.
Hugh rarely took his relatives seriously.
For Marlon to be held in such esteem by Hugh….
No one had expected this!
When Layne saw this happening, he thought that Hugh had gone crazy.
Immediately, he became deeply jealous of Marlon.
Why had Hugh taken a fancy to such a good-for-nothing fellow, who relied on his aging parents and had dropped out of school?!
“Why can’t I be with Jane? Do I need you to care who I’m with?”
Marlon looked at Layne as if he were looking at an ***.
Marlon wasn’t a ***. Naturally, he knew that Layne looked down on him.
As for the capabilities that Marlon had, he disdained to tell anyone.
He liked the feeling of being low-profile.
This did not mean that Marlon would allow Layne, who looked down on him, to humiliate him!
“You?! Marlon Croft, how dare you talk to me like that!”
“Marlon Croft! What did Uncle teach you? How dare you argue with your elders like this? Apologize!”
Diane and Layne were indeed mother and son.
The apple never fell far from the tree.

They were both so shameless.
“Ignore them, Marlon. Let’s go in.”
Jane pulled Marlon into the bidding office.
“Stop! You owe us an apology!”
How could Diane let Marlon off so easily?
If Diane could see Marlon, an ****and incompetent scoundrel, actually daring to talk back to her precious son, who had immense potential and a bright future ahead of him, and still not say anything, she would not be Diane Croft if she did not vent her anger.
In the next second.
Diane received a loud slap to the face.
She looked away. Her face was burning with disbelief.
This slap again…
A familiar pain!
There was no need to think about it!
This ***Jane Fowler must have hit Diane!
This was the second time! The second time!
And in front of so many people!
Everyone’s eyes fell on Diane and Jane..
Even Marlon and Layne did not react at first.
By the time he reacted, Layne immediately hugged the disgraced Diane.
“What are you doing?! Jane Fowler!”
Layne wished he could slap Jane..
Jane didn’t just slap Layne’s mother.
She also slapped Layne’s face.
He never expected… for Jane to be so presumptuous!
How dare he hit Diane in front of so many people!
Did she want to ***?
“Q… Jane, what are you..
Marlon was stunned by Jane’s bravery.
Though Marlon had wanted to do this countless times.
Who asked Diane’s family to ***others and look down on him?
However, he only dared to think about it in his heart.
He did not dare to act on the thought.
Jane might have gotten some gratification from that, but what would she do next?
“I slapped her to ***her up.”
Jane said coldly.
Diane kept chattering like a locust behind Jane.
Did he really think that Jane never lost her temper?
“Jane! Fowler!”
Even if the noble blood running in Layne’s veins made him unable to lose his rationality on such an
OCCASION.
Jane behaved mercilessly towards them time and time again. Layne couldn’t take it anymore.
He raised his hand and was about to slap Jane
“Jane”
In a moment of desperation, Marlon wanted to protect Jane
In the end.
Jane kicked Layne’s knee.
The wound from when Layne had knelt on the broken glass last time had not fully recovered.
Jane’s kick was fast, precise, and ruthless.
She deftly avoided everyone’s gaze.
Layne’s knees felt like they were about to split open.
An intense pain assaulted him. He lost his balance and knelt on the ground.
Everyone was speechless.
This scene completely exceeded their imaginations.
They originally thought that Layne wanted to fight back for his mother.
Why was he kneeling down to Jane Fowler in the end?
What was going on?
“Oh my, I didn’t expect you to be so polite to me. Come, continue kneeling. I’ll take a photo with my phone…”
“Layne, what’s wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?”
Diane ignored the pain in her face and quickly helped Layne up.
