Chapter 150

After slapping, Jane rubbed her wrist and turned to walk toward the bidding office.

Marlon came back to himself and hurriedly chased after Jane, shouting, “Jane, wait for me.”

Jane and Marlon had left.

Everyone pretended not to see this scene. They avoided Layne and Diane when they walked into the

bidding office.

How could anyone in Stormton City not know the Croft family?

Layne Croft was like a new star in Stormton City. It was said that he had flourished recently.

Diane and Layne were slapped by Jane, but they did not dare to fight back.

What a joke.

Diane said, “Layne, let’s go in first.”

Diane felt her face burning.

It was not only because of Jane’s slap.

It was also because of the feeling of being looked down upon by everyone.

Diane had never experienced such an embarrassing ****.

Diane was always a socialite in the upper class and a member of the Croft family. She was a prominent

figure among the noblewomen.

But now, Jane slapped Diane and threatened Diane with Luna’s video in public. Thinking of these, Diane

could not breathe.

Diane felt awful when thinking about all of those.

If Raymond heard of this matter, he would definitely have a long speech with Diane.

A serious expression appeared on Layne’s face. He gave others a feeling that he was depressed. Then

Layne was dragged inside by Diane.

They ignored the gazes of strangers.

Diane said, “Layne, I didn’t expect you to be able to hold it. That ***Jane Fowler went too far just now.

“For a ***, I wanted you to slap her back. Look how embarrassing we are now!”

Layne replied, “***… Actually, I almost lost control. However, Jane has something to do with Hugh. “If

Jane ***that video to Hugh and says something bad, Hugh will do everything to destroy our branch.

“Is not the time to pick a fight with Jane and Hugh…’

Diane interrupted, “What? Jane has something to do with Hugh? When did that happen? Why didn’t I

know about it at all?”

Diane was stunned.

Diane never expected Layne not to slap back because of this reason.

Diane murmured, “Could it be that Hugh has a crush on Jane? Is this ***blind?

“Hugh is the head of the Croft family. How can he fall in love with an ordinary person? When I see dad,

I’ll tell him everything about Hugh!”

Diane was angry. However, she did not lose her insanity.

Diane thought, “But if Jane and Hugh are really in a relationship….

“That will mean Jane can control us easily.

“If so, Jane can even ***on our heads in the future.

“She got Luna’s embarrassing video and used Hugh to suppress Layne.”

At this ***, Diane arose an intension to ***Jane.

Diane murmured. “Anna told me she couldn’t solve the problem. However, Jane was quiet and did not

release the video.

“At that time, I hesitated about if I should find someone to ***Jane Fowler.

“Now it seems like I can’t let Jane Fowler be alive!”

Layne silently ***his **.

Layne did not speak a word.

All Layne could feel was the pain from his burning face.

Then, Layne gradually regained his rationality.

Layne thought, “I realized that Jane has too much evidence against the second branch.

“Besides, she has Hugh Croft.

“I have to think of a way to ease the tension between us and Jane.

“We can’t be as confrontational as before.

“Sorry, little Maddie. I have to make sacrifices and seduce Jane Fowler. I do this for the sake of our future

happiness, little Maddie.”

Jane did not care what Layne and Diane were thinking.

Jane thought, “Well, I gave them my slaps.

“I embarrassed them, but they didn’t dare to fight back.

“How satisfying!”

Marlon asked, “Queen, what exactly happened among you, Layne Croft, and Layne? Why are they so

scared of you?”

Marlon was so curious that he kept asking Jane all kinds of questions. His starry eyes were filled with

admiration.

Jane briefly explained what had happened to the Croft family.

Marlon said, “***. Queen, you’re amazing!”

Marlon gave Jane a thumbs up.

Marlon continued, “The second branch has always been ***. I always ***them.

“Thanks, Queen. You kicked their *** for me today. Hahaha! I’ll tell my family what happened today when

I go back home! It’s too satisfying!”

The Croft family had a total of four branches.

Victor Croft, who was Marlon’s grandpa, was the former leader of the Croft family.

Michael Croft was the head of the first branch.

Raymond Croft was the head of the second branch. Layne and Diane belonged to this branch.

Matthew Croft was the head of the third branch. Marlon was in this branch.

Levi Croft was the head of the fourth branch. Hugh was in this branch.

Levi was the youngest of four brothers.

However, Levi had a genius, Hugh Croft.

At a young age, Hugh took over control of the Croft family from Victor Croft and became D.Y’s

president.

Hugh was an outstanding one in the Croft family. This enabled his branch to suppress the other three

branches.

Michael Croft was the second distinguishing one. After all, as the head of the first branch, Michael had

some power.

Then it was the second branch. Raymond had some abilities and raised a “genius” Layne. Raymond had

developed these years and took back some power.

The third branch was at the bottom.

This was because Matthew did not like to fight for power. Instead, he liked to travel around with his wife

and see the great scenes of the country. Matthew was not utilitarian, so he was not ambitious Matthew’s

personality influenced his children. Marlon and the others of this branch were capable. However, they

preferred to do things they liked and live a comfortable life.

Therefore, the third branch had no power in the Croft family.

Certainly, the third branch did not care much about power.

It was a privilege for one to be born into the Croft family. Even if the one was a good-for-nothing, he

could still enjoy a luxurious life that others envied.

Jane shrugged and replied, “As long as you like it.”

Then, Jane placed her hands on the chair behind her.

Jane took a comfortable position to wait for the show to begin.

Soon.

The protagonists came.

It was Jack and Henry.

When Jack arrived at the bidding office, he felt something wrong.

It was as if something had happened before they came.

Jack had not participated in the bidding for a long time because he let Henry take over the company

when he retired.

Jack was worried about Henry’s ***, so he stayed by Henry these days.

One night, Henry suddenly ran out to look for Liliana. When he returned, his ***state was even

worse.

Jack asked Henry what happened. However, Henry refused to say a word.

Then Jack called Liliana. To his surprise, Liliana did not answer his call.

Liliana seemed to be ***by Jane.

Jack saw Layne and Diane in the office.

Jack thought, “I’m not surprised to see them here since this is a big bidder conference in Stormton City.”

Jack greeted Diane.

Diane did not look too good, and she did not even hear Jack’s greeting.

Jack took a closer look and found Diane’s face swelled up.

Jack thought, “Maybe my eyesight is getting worse.”

The bidding conference was about to begin.

Jack had no choice but to follow Henry and sit down in the front row.

These seats were marked on the invitation letter, which meant these seats belonged to important guests.

This revealed that the Fowler Corporation had a pivotal position in Stormton City.

The Fowler Corporation was still standing proudly even after what happened previously.

At this ***, a figure in the dark smirked.

Then Jack felt as if someone was staring at him.
