No Way Back

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 She Doesn’t Deserve The Right!

Dwayne hissed viciously.

He hated Jane with every fiber of his soul.

How dare she speak to her own brother this way!

How dare she give Madelyn the cold shoulder!

Well, since Jane didn’t want to be a member of the Fowlers, Dwayne was in no way obliged to treat her like one!

A sharp thrill shot through Madelyn when she heard what Dwayne had said.

This was precisely what she wanted.

She wanted them to hate Jane.

This way, Jane would never be able to return to the Fowler family and steal her share of the family’s wealth. Meanwhile, she still had a guise to maintain.

“Dwayne, don’t yell at Janie. She’s the young lady of the Fowler family. She’s your sister!”

Madelyn said softly as she tugged Dwayne’s arm.

“No bitch is going to be my sister. Maddie, you’re the only young lady of the Fowler family. I don’t have or need another sister!

“Anyone who tries to steal what’s rightfully yours will have to deal with me first! I’m not going to let them off!” Dwayne hissed as he glared furiously at Jane.

He was giving Jane a warning.

She should keep her dirty fingers away from what wasn’t hers.

She might think she could get something out of the family by renouncing the family. His other brothers might give in to her, but not Dwayne.

Dwayne wasn’t going to give in to her.

Dwayne thought his words might invoke some panic in Jane.

Jane might realize that she had gone too far. The Fowler family was wealthy beyond measure. She could get

a handsome sum that would last her till she died if she hung onto her title as a young lady of the Fowler

family.

He was wrong.

“Don’t worry. The Fowlers are mere strangers to me now. I don’t want anything from you!

“So, don’t try and pretend that we’re friends and try to talk to me if we run into each other on the streets. Just pretend you don’t know me at all.

“Stop trying to make me puke with your pretenses.”

Jane said curtly.

Her merciless words cut like a sharp blade.

Dwayne found himself reeling with shock.

The next moment, rage surged within him.

I’ll hold you to your words, Jane.”

He looked forward to the day when Jane regretted her decision and decided she wanted a share of the family inheritance. When she came crawling back and begging the family to take her back…

Dwayne would be there, laughing in her face.

“That’s enough!”

Lila couldn’t take it anymore.

“Are you really Janie’s brother? She’s your sister! The sister who went missing for 19 years!

“Do you have any idea what she has been through? How could you treat her this way?”

Lila’s eyes shone brightly with unshed tears. It had taken her a massive dose of courage to confront Dwayne

Lila, who was meek by nature, was terrified of men like Dwayne.

But she had overcome her fear and spoken up for Jane.

She was simply too furious to keep her silence any longer.

Her heart ached for what Jane had been put through.

She couldn’t believe what her best friend had to go through. Jane had ended up with the worst family ever

If she had known this sooner, she would have badgered her parents into taking Jane in as their daughter

The Sutton family was no Fowler family, but her kind parents would surely give Jane the love she wanted.

Surely that was better than returning to the Fowler family, having her hopes and dreams for a family be trampled a second time and be hurt yet again!

The thought of Jane’s suffering filled Lila’s eyes with tears.

“That’s because she doesn’t deserve to be my sister!”

Dwayne replied coolly and mercilessly.

“A true lady of the Fowler family would know her place.

“A true lady of the Fowler family wouldn’t hold a grudge.

“She wouldn’t break ties with her family so easily. Did she think that we would care or feel threatened?

“Take a look at Maddie. Then, take a look at Jane. They’re worlds apart!”

“How could you say that?”

Lila burst into tears when she heard what Dwayne had said.

“Dwayne, stop. Janie, Dwayne has a hot temper. Please don’t take his words to heart. Just apologize to him”

Madelyn said with feigned kindness.

“Why should I apologize to him?”

Jane hissed, furious at how Dwayne had driven Lila to tears.

She started emanating an aura of intense hostility.

They had hurt her so badly in her past life.

Was that not enough? How dare they make her best friend cry!

“Apologize to Lila now, Dwayne!”

“In your dreams!”

Dwayne pointed at Lila. “She had no right to interfere in our family’s affairs. I was teaching her a lesson by telling her not to stick her nose into other people’s business! We can’t have her going around thinking she has the right to do that.”

He knew it. Jane was utterly shameless.

He should be the one demanding that Jane apologize to Madelyn.

How dare she demand an apology from him instead.

“Forget it, Janie. I’m fine. Let’s ignore them and go.”

Lila didn’t care that she had been yelled at.

But she knew how much Jane was hurting right now.

After all, Dwayne was her brother.

But despite how much she wanted a family, all she got in return was a crazy, abusive brother.

Lila desperately wanted to cry. She tried to hug Jane. She wanted to grab Jane’s hand and take her away from this place!

She wanted to protect her best friend and prevent her from ever being hurt by her own family again.

“Dwayne, just stop. Janie’s obviously not doing very well. She must be working here.

“Janie, if you have any trouble with making a living, you should talk to Daddy and Mommy. Just apologize to them.

“You’re their daughter. They’ll forgive you if you apologize to them. I’ll leave the Fowler family and stay far away from you all. I won’t get between you and your family.”

There was no way Madelyn would let such a fine opportunity slip through her fingers. She continued to spew lies and put on an act, pretending that she would sacrifice herself for the greater good.

Tears fell from her eyes as she sniffled softly. Dwayne’s chest twinged at the pitiful sight.

“I’ll see her try! Maddie, you’re the only young lady of the Fowler family. You’re the only sister I have!

“Jane, you’ve disowned the family, so stay away from us. Don’t you ever regret your decision because I’ll be the first to disagree with letting you return to the Fowler family!”

Dwayne said before wrapping his arms around Madelyn and whispering soft words of comfort to her. Then, the young man threw a vicious glare at Jane.

“Jane, you have the blood of the Fowlers running in your veins. Don’t you have any shred of dignity? “Everyone knows that you’re a member of the Fowler family. What if someone catches you working at a Porsche 4S dealer’s office? You’re going to embarrass us all!”

Madelyn cupped her hand over Dwayne’s lips and shook her head. Her eyes looked red and teary. “Dwayne, stop. Janie’s having a hard enough time as it is…”

Jane wanted to throw up.

How did she get stuck with these assholes? She couldn’t believe that she had had her heart broken because of them.

What a nightmare. She would never forget the hell that she had suffered.

What an idiot she had been!

“Where are my keys and my car?”

“Ms. Fowler, this way, please.”

The Porsche 4S dealer’s staff said from a discreet corner of the office.

He hurried toward Jane as soon as she demanded her keys and handed them to her.

“Ms. Fowler, your Porsche Cayenne is parked right outside. Please follow me.”

The words rushed out of the man’s mouth. He couldn’t wait for her to leave the office. Everyone could tell that this was a family dispute.

Nobody dared to step forward and interfere in what was clearly personal.

Besides… Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

They had just witnessed something incredible.

Wasn’t Jane Fowler the young woman who had been trending online yesterday? The young woman who had been identified as the true young lady of the Fowler family?

Had she really disowned her own family? What the hell was going on?

Where did she get the money to buy the car, then?

What?

Madelyn thought to herself.

Wasn’t Jane a staff working at the office?

How could she afford a Porsche Cayenne?

“Janie, where did you get the money from? Is it from the Fowlers‘…“
