No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 240

“Alright, Josh. Don’t anger Yale.

“Yale, it’s like this…”

Jane briefly explained what had happened in the Ferris wheel.

“Only Jane cares about me! Baddie Josh!”

“Ahem…”

Josh felt a little wronged.

Unexpectedly, Jane exposed him in the blink of an eye…

Could it be that in Jane’s heart, Yale was more important than Josh?

Woo-woo!

Jane and the others were happily having the New Year’s Eve dinner.

They turned on the television and watched the New Year’s Gala.

Jane also took a vlog and sent it to Moments.

Of course, she still hid Yale and Josh’s faces.

When these two faces were put together, it was easy to cause a sensation.

In an instant, a group of people liked it.

Lila commented, “Wow, I also want to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner cooked by Janie! Unfortunately, I’m trapped at home and can’t escape…”

Liliana, Marlon, Shaun, and Marquise also liked Jane’s post….

When Jane saw that Hugh also liked it, she sent a message over.

Jane sent. [Don’t tell me you’re still working overtime when we’re having the New Year’s Eve dinner, Mr. Croft.] –

Hugh replied, [No… I’m eating New Year’s Eve dinner in the Croft family.]

After sending this sentence, Hugh looked at the so-called relatives at the dining table again.

The Croft family’s power struggles were turbulent.

At least when Victor was still alive, at every festival and at New Year, the members of the four branches would gather for a

meal.

He suddenly felt that it was ***.

Everyone had ulterior motives.

They wanted to curry favor with Victor and kick Hugh down from the head of the Croft family and the president of D. Y. Group.

Yet, they had to act like good family members.

Hugh had been used to it since he was young. He put on a fake smile and accompanied them.

Who didn’t know how to act?

But this time.

Perhaps it was because of his encounter with Jane, Hugh physically felt that such New Year’s Eve dinner was ****.

Jane replied, [Woo-woo… I can feel how torturous this meal is.]

Hugh wrote, [It’s all because someone refused to spend the New Year with me.]

Jane sent,[What? I asked you and you said that you had to go back to the Croft family to eat New Year’s Eve dinner. You’re pushing the blame!]

Hugh replied, [Next time, I don’t want to come back. Can you spend New Year’s Day with me?]

Hugh’s words were very serious.

He was tired of this hypocritical family.

If he had Jane by his side, Hugh would definitely have a very good New Year.

Jane replied, [That depends on your performance.].

Anyway, she had already kissed Hugh.

Jane did not intend to be reserved.

She would play it by ear.

The future was still so long.

Who stipulated that Jane should make a decision now?

Hugh replied. [Then I’ll do my best I He attached a smiling emoji.

The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

Everyone who was eating in the Croft Residence saw this scene

The smile on their faces couldn’t help but stiffen

They…

What did they see?

Hugh, the living King of **, actually smiled?

He was clearly such a cold, noble, and unsmiling person.

Marlon’s reaction was the most exaggerated. His ***widened as if he could swallow an egg.

He even rubbed his eyes hard.

****!

If this picture was taken and spread, it would definitely cause a huge commotion!

Marlon’s parents couldn’t care less.

Because they were just as shocked.

Victor smiled happily. “Hugh, you’re not young anymore. It’s about time for you to get married. Are there any suitable girls?”

“I’m not sure.”

Hugh said calmly.

He was not in a hurry to expose Jane’s existence.

Even though Hugh knew that his Uncle Jack, Uncle Raymond, and even Uncle Matthew, who did not like to fight, began to investigate which woman Hugh had interacted with.

Firstly, it was better to take preventive measures.

Secondly, they were curious about the identity of the woman Hugh liked.

“Hugh, I trust your taste. I also know that you don’t like those useless women.

“Once you make your decision, bring her back and let me see her. I’ll give your wife a big gift.”

Now that Victor had shed his heavy burden, he looked radiant and youthful.

Coupled with the fact that he often worked out, he didn’t look like he was in his seventies, but in his early fifties.

He was wearing a suit and looked extraordinary. His old and deep eyes occasionally revealed a bright light. He could not be underestimated.

“Okay.”

Hugh did not deny it.

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

It seemed that…

There really was such a person.

Layne, who was eating in the crowd, secretly clenched his fists.

It was obvious that the woman Hugh was talking about was Jane!

She was Layne’s nominal fiancee!

The last time Layne ate barbecue, he saw that Jane was with Hugh, Connor, and Robert.

It created very unpleasant memories.

The thought made Layne’s stomach hurt.

Recently, for some reason, Madelyn had found all sorts of excuses to be perfunctory to Layne and didn’t want to meet Layne.

Madelyn was playing hard to get. If it was in the past, Layne would have fallen for her.

He thought that Jane lied and was trying to drive a wedge between them.

He desperately wanted to compensate Madelyn and salvage the situation,

Now…

For some reason, Layne kept thinking of Jane.

He thought of Jane more frequently than Madelyn.

Even Layne did not know what was wrong with him.

Because of this, he didn’t care much about Madelyn’s intentional distance.

Now, Madelyn was sending all kinds of messages to harass Layne.

Layne’s response was extremely cold.

He thought, “Oh my god… I should like Madelyn. We grew up together and were childhood sweethearts who were supposed to get married.

“Why do I care more about Jane now? I care about Jane’s disregard, indifference, and disdain for me.”

Every Jane’s cold gaze gave him a cold scar, and at this moment, the scar became burning hot.

Jane’s shadow was completely engraved in Layne’s mind and could not be erased.

Compared to Layne who had wild thoughts about Jane, Layne’s parents, Raymond and Diane, had the most awkward meal.

It was because of Luna.

Although Victor had yet to open his ***to ask them and blame Luna, Luna would be tried after New Year’s Day. Strictly speaking, this was the responsibility of the second branch.

Originally, it was because of the existence of Hugh and the power of the first branch that the position of the second branch in the Croft family was in jeopardy.

Raymond was not as unambitious as Matthew and the third branch.

Here, once he was no longer domineering, he was destined to fail.

What was the point of it?

At this moment, the butler quickly walked to Victor’s side.

“Sir, there’s an internal call for you.”

Victor frowned slightly when he heard that.
