No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 427

Chapter 427
The friendship between our families? If you truly cared about our friendship, Raymond, you would not have said such ***things today!” Anna Fowler rebuked.
“In our family, our children’s relationships are never bargaining chips for business benefits. They can choose whom they like and want to marry. We will never treat our children’s marriages as stepping stones for business purposes!”
Anna continued, “You know how Layne and Maddie feel about each other. The two were childhood sweethearts who grew up together and had a deep and loving relationship. How could you even mention the engagement with Jane? You’ve never respected us! You’ve never respected Layne! And surely you’ve never respected Maddie! For your information, I have refrained from using harsher words for Diane’s sake.”
Then she turned to her husband and said, “Jack, let’s go!”
“Okay!”
Jack Fowler was so angry he could not stay for another second.
He pushed Anna in her wheelchair and left.
Raymond Croft stood still, clenching his fists tightly and looking gloomy.
Layne glanced at his father, then looked at Jack and Anna leaving.
He opened his ********as if he wanted to say something.
However, he could not utter a word.
”
Layne tried to tell his father that he did not like Madelyn Fowler that much anymore. He was not as adamant about her as before.
At this point, Layne had more feelings for Jane than for Madelyn.
He also realized that he was worlds apart from Jane.
She could not possibly take a liking to him.

Layne’s pride was shattered at the thought of that.
He realized the two women he had fallen in love with in his life would end up the same way.
He was unable to hold onto either of them.
“Jack Fowler! Anna Fowler!”
Raymond slammed the table and stood up, glaring at their backs and shouting.
“When did you become so pompous? How ********of you to keep saying it’s for the good of your children? It’s total *********!
“You’re responsible for forcing Jane to leave and cut ties with the family! How dare you lecture me now!”
Jack and Anna stopped in their tracks when they heard what Jack said.
Their fingertips trembled with anger.
Layne wanted to stop his father, but it was too late. He could only persuade him. “Dad, stop talking! Uncle Jack and Aunt Jane are already uncomfortable with the situation!”
Did Raymond want the relationship between the families to break down completely?
“It’s because we’ve done too many wrong things in the past. We vow not to make any more mistakes this time around!” Jack said firmly.
“Raymond, I don’t care what you think or whether things will change along the way, but we will never betray Jane again!” Jack then left confidently with Anna and did not look back again.
Raymond gradually regained his composure and regretted what he had done.
He had expected Jack and Anna to reject Layne and Jane’s engagement proposal.
However, Raymond did not want to break up with the Fowler family altogether.
He did not want to cross the line for the future’s sake. They would bound to meet again at some point.
The Fowler family was behind Fowler Corporation, after all.
Raymond could not bear the consequences of falling out with the Fowler family. There was too much stake involved.
However, Raymond could not take back his harsh words and had to bear with the outcome. He could only wait for Jack and Anna to calm down before apologizing in person.
“Layne, go after Uncle Jack and Aunt Anna. Tell them I’m sorry.”
“Okay, Dad.”
Layne realized the severity of the matter. He chased after Jack and Anna without further ado.
Meanwhile, on the other end.
Jack ordered a cab online.
“Thank you, Jack. I’m glad to have you by my side now,” Anna said gratefully.
“Don’t be ********, Anna. We’ve been married for many years and weathered all the ups and downs together. Why are you thanking me now, huh? I’ll be annoyed if you don’t stop, okay?” Jack said with a smile.
Anna held Jack’s hand behind her that was pushing the wheelchair. She bit her lip and said, “Raymond was right, Jack. I don’t blame him for reprimanding us because I have done many ********things to force Jane away. But your words saved my day, and I am thankful.”
Anna realized she could not undo her wrongs. No one could go back in time to change things around..
