No Way Back by Anna Mac

She glared at the waiter. “What are you doing? Don’t you know that you have to knock on the door

before coming in? Did I tell you to come in? Is this how you treat your guests in this

teahouse?”

Gritting her teeth, Madelyn spoke in a hushed tone. She was afraid that Jane would discover that she

was next door. The soundproofing in the teahouse was not ideal.

The waiter looked aggrieved. “Ma’am, I knocked on the door and asked if I can come in. You didn’t say a

word. The door wasn’t locked either. I thought you will be fine with me coming in so I…”

“All right, all right. Just put the things down and leave.”

Madelyn was anxious to continue listening to the conversation next door.

Meanwhile. both of them continued talking next door.

“Goddaughter?”

Jane’s eyes flickered with a cold light.

She felt that everything sounded so ****.

“Mr. Laton, you were present that night there, and you saw how I humiliated Jack Fowler. You should

know that I don’t care about kinship anymore. Do you think that just because I’ve cut off all ties with the

Fowler family, I’m feeling lonely? Do you think I’ll long for family ties and will be willing to be your

goddaughter?”

Jane’s tone was like a ferocious beast lying dormant at night.

It was dangerous and sinister.

Michael had underestimated her.

Micheal could hear the disdain in Jane’s tone. He explained patiently, “Miss Fowler, don’t be angry. I’m

only making a suggestion. I respect you very much. My family admires you too. When I went back that

day and told my family about you, they felt very regretful. If Miss Fowler is unhappy with my idea, just

treat it like a joke. We’ll pretend that nothing has happened.”

“I don’t want to hear such a suggestion again. You bigoted capitalists like to use kinship as a bargaining

chip. You are all blinded by greed. Family ties are not important to you. You’re more interested in who

can bring you the most benefits.”

“I feel sad for the children in your circle. I pity them very much. Kinship is never existent in your family.

Mr. Laton, think about it. Anyone who has a brain won’t believe what you just

said.”

With that, Jane stood up and prepared to leave.

Micheal did not expect Jane to get so angry. He quickly went up and apologized. “I’m sorry, Miss Fowler.

If I have offended you, please forgive me. I didn’t mean to offend you.”

“Do you think I can’t tell whether you mean it? If I am just an ordinary orphan, will the chairman of Crown

Group bother to see me? He’ll probably think it’s easier to crush me than crush an ant. At the end of the

day, you’re just like Jack Fowler? Now he’s only proud of me and wants to use me as a bargaining chip

when he realizes how valuable I am.”

Although Jane knew that if she agreed to Micheal’s request, she could use it to her advantage and deal a

****to the Fowler family.

However, she was not ****enough to risk her future so she could take her revenge on the Fowler family.

She would never be happy working with Michael. The Laton family was no different from the Fowler

family.

“Mr. Laton, I suggest you learn more about the life of an ordinary family. So what if you’ve gained a lot of

money, glory, and status? In the end, you’ve lost more than all these. You’ll never understand the love

and warmth that a family can bring.”

Jane’s tone was so frosty that anyone near her would shudder.

Chapter 403

She strode past Micheal and stormed out of the room.

A pale-looking Micheal was left in the room.

After chasing the waiter away, Madelyn only managed to hear the last part of their conversation.

However, the words were not clear as they were standing far away from the wall.

“What’s going on? What exactly happened?”

Madelyn bit her thin lips.

She felt very anxious.

It was all that waiter’s fault. When she got to the bottom of the matter, she vowed to file a complaint

against him.

Bang!

Madelyn was almost scared out of her wits.

Micheal had picked up a cup and smashed it to the ground.

“Ahhh!”

The shattering sound in the room attracted the manager’s attention

Knowing that the person in the private room was the chairman of the Crown Group, the manager walked

in cautiously. “Mr. Laton, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?”

Micheal took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to beat the manager up. “Nothing. Get

out!”

“Yes.”

Seeing that Micheal was so angry, the manager did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly

scurried out of the room.

“****it. Jane Fowler, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this. You’re the first!

“You’re really capable. I, Micheal Laton, will remember this day.”

Micheal gritted his teeth in anger.

Ever since the Crown Group became more prosperous, everyone started fawning at

Michael.

They were willing to tolerate looks of disdain from Micheal. They were happy to wait for Micheal for hours

and be fooled around by him. They willingly swallowed their pride to be in his good books. Jane’s words

revealed deep mockery, contempt, and indifference.

What she did to him was unforgivable.

She even accused Micheal of being a bigoted capitalist.

No one had ever spoken to him like this.

Micheal left the private room, seething in anger.

He was boiling with rage as he stormed off. It was as if he was not here to drink tea but to ***someone.

Madelyn quickly went to the door of the room and watched in secret.

She saw Micheal’s back as he walked off

She thought anxiously. “Are you leaving already? Where’s Jane? Did she agree to be Mr. Laton’s

goddaughter?”
