No Way Back

Chapter 230

Jane did not look at him. She said calmly, “Thank you”

She did not shake Ford’s hands.

Ford was not angry after Jane rejected him. He smiled and said, “Miss Jane Fowler, you have an interesting personality”

Ford said to himself, “I like it.”

Although Ford did not say it, his expression revealed the truth.

Lila noticed it and whispered to Jane.

“I think this guy, Ford… must belong to the Croft family. He seems to be very interested in you, Janie. But I think it’s best to stay away from him.”

Most importantly, Jane and Hugh had gotten a lot closer.

It would be terrible if Ford tried to get close to Jane and caused Hugh to misunderstand.

“A lot of people are interested in me, but I don’t pay them any attention.”

Jane spoke indifferently.

Besides…

Ford’s “interest” came with a selfish, ulterior motive.

Ford felt that Jane’s status could bring him some benefits.

He wanted to use Jane…

That was interesting.

“Ford, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to say that. And Jane… You’re not that kind of person.”

Marlon did not expect Ford to say such words to Jane. Besides, they had only just met.

He did not see that coming at all.

Marlon knew that Ford was different from his playboy brother.

Ford was the most similar to his Uncle, Michael.

After all, he was Michael’s eldest son. He had taught Ford himself and placed high hopes on him.

Even though Marlon was Ford’s cousin, he had never heard of Ford having feelings for any woman.

Such a cool cat had said such words to Jane…

“I’m sorry. It’s because I’m X’s number one fan. Look, I’m the administrator of the ‘girl’ forum. I’m in charge of uploading high-quality posts of X’s works.”

As if afraid that no one would believe him, Ford took out his phone and logged in to ‘girl”.

What the hell? He was telling the truth.

Marlon looked at Ford, horrified.

It was hard to imagine that Ford was into 2D characters.

“I’m just interested in beautiful things. Although I don’t know much about 2D characters, with my artistic tastes, I can tell that all of X’s work… that is, Miss Jane Fowler’s work, is very outstanding. Miss Jane

Fowler, you’re now a famous public figure in Crucsia. You’re both X and the world champion. You have countless fanatical fans across the world. It’s my honor to meet you and talk to you. You’re my idol.”

Ford spoke politely.

He was such a gentleman.

The other diners at the barbecue restaurant looked over.

All the girls looked at Ford with admiration.

Even the manager of the barbecue restaurant addressed Ford as “boss”.

The barbecue restaurant chain was owned by the Croft family.

Then this dignified-looking gentleman must be Crucsia’s most eligible bachelor, Ford Croft!

As the eldest son of the Croft family’s main branch, he was almost 30 years old and had a clean reputation. He belonged to the wealthy and renowned Croft family. He held an important position in the D.Y. Group and was also a self-made businessman.

Although he was not as handsome as Hugh, who had taken charge of the Croft family at a young age, among the younger generation of the Croft family, Layne and Ford were brilliant in their own right. Many believed they would be the second in line to inherit the Croft family.”

Most importantly, if one could marry into the Croft family, one would enjoy endless wealth and glamor.

Any woman who could attract a Croft family’s son, even as a mistress, would be incredibly fortunate.

Therefore…

Countless envious gazes were directed at Jane.

Even though many people knew about Jane’s status as the world champion….

But so what?

Why was Jane surrounded by so many amazing guys?

And yet-

“Okay… I understand how you feel about getting to meet your idol. But let’s get this straight. I’m not interested in men under 6’1″ tall or any men older than 25 years old. I’m sorry.”

Jane’s words shocked everyone.

Ford was always polite and had a smile on his face as if he was wearing a mask. But for a moment, he could not hide his

expression.

He became a lot more expressive.

Marlon almost burst out laughing.

He could only cover his ***tightly.

He did not let out a laugh.

Indeed…

The average height of people in the Croft family was 5 feet 11 inches.

Ford’s only weakness was his height.

He was only 5 feet 7 inches tall.

He drastically brought down the average height of the Croft family.

And she even mentioned his age…

He was almost 30 years old and still unmarried.

Even his grandfather, Victor, had urged him several times.

Of course, Ford had lived for so many years, and no one dared to say such words to him.

And any woman who could attract Ford’s attention would be on cloud nine.

Not like how Jane reacted…

But she was Jane, Queen of the Darknet.

She paid no heed to anyone from the Croft family.

Marlon even wondered… What might happen if Jane met Hugh?

It would be most exciting.

“That is… I hope I’ll hayé a chance to change your terrible opinion of me, Miss Jane Fowler.

Ford was that kind of man. Even if he were so angry that he wanted to scold someone, he would still maintain a courteous attitude.

Quickly, he composed himself.

“I advise you to forget about it. Isn’t it a good thing to find someone better?”

After saying that, Jane picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in sauce, and placed it in her ***. Her eyes lit up. “Lila, this sauce I made is delicious. Try it!”

“Janie…”

Lila looked helplessly at Jane.

Still…

Janie was her best friend. She was always so carefree.

It seemed that Janie had not changed after spending so much time in Meridonia. Lila was happy. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

At first, Lila was worried that Jane would somehow get involved with Ford. If Hugh found out, wouldn’t it cause carnage?

Who would have thought that Jane would be so decisive?

“Marlon, sit down if you want to eat. I have a sponsor here. You’re in luck.”

Marlon coughed a little. “Ford, what do you think?”

Although Marlon had not met Jane for a long time, he wanted to sit beside the Queen, take countless photos, and show them off to people he knew.

However, it was Ford who brought Marlon here. Marlon could not leave Ford hanging and have a free meal because Jane

said so.

Especially after Jane had “humiliated” Ford…

“Then let’s eat together.”

Ford spoke very graciously.

“Are you eating with us, too?”

Jane pretended to be surprised and looked at Ford.

Ford was speechless.

The corner of his lips twitched.

“What? Am I not welcome here, Miss Jane Fowler?”

”

“Of course you are. After all, you’re the boss here. Will you be paying for all the food we eat today?”

“Of course.”

Ford was not happy.

The way Jane looked at him…

It was as if she had found someone to dupe.

This bit of money was nothing to Jane’s current net worth.

She was the National University Painting Competition champion, and she was also X.

It was true that Ford was a fan of X.

But he was not a fanatic.

He only thought that Jane was pretty. She was his type.

As Ford’s girlfriend, Jane’s status would be more than enough.

Even though she had cut ties with the Fowler family, he had heard that Jane was an enigmatic woman. She had close ties with the first-class lawyer, Andy.

She even made the Fowler Corporation’s chairman, Jack, suffer.

Some even claimed that…

Connor, Robert, and even Hugh were somehow connected with Jane.

How could Ford not be interested in such a woman?
