No Way Back by Anna Mac

Gradually

Their fingers intertwined.

“No matter what the future holds, at least for now, I’will be by your side.

“No matter what happened in the past, at least for now, you’ve made it through and are right beside me.”

Jane’s voice had a kind of magic that spoke of poetry.

“And here’s another one…

“I couldn’t participate in your past, but now and in the future, I won’t let go of this hand.”

“Janie, you can’t get rid of me anymore.”

Hugh held Jane tightly. His eyes were burning, and his voice was gentle, warming her heart.

Jane’s face cracked into a smile as she said, “We’ll see if you’re capable of keeping me by your side.”

The two of them were glued together in the cubicles on the second floor.

Below, Luna did not feel the sweetness of Jane and Hugh at all.

It was often said that human joys and sorrows were not connected.

After realizing her situation, Luna could only endure the pain and personally cut off two of her fingers.

Without anesthetic effect, Luna passed out from the unbearable pain.

Diane’s heart ached as if transfixed with a dagger when she saw this. She wanted to rush forward and

get someone to stop Luna’s bleeding, but Raymond grabbed her tightly.

Raymond looked at Victor and said, “Father, now that Luna’s been punished according to the family

rules, are you

satisfied?”

“Raymond, don’t underestimate me. I once led the Croft family to gain a foothold in Stormton City. Just

this little thing… isn’t gonna make me angry.

“The Croft family’s come a long way, and now we have so many offspring. It makes sense that there are

some black sheep.

“Since there are some rotten apples, we’ll just get rid of them. We can’t just let the family fall because of

a few rotten apples, right?”

Victor saw through it very clearly.

His voice was emotionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

Raymond immediately lowered his head and said, “Yes, Father, I crossed the line.”

‘Grandfather, since Luna… She has already received such a heavy punishment, it’s better to let her go

for treatment first.

Marlon mustered up the courage to speak.

The skin on Luna’s body was paling

Luna would die if she lost more blood like this!

In the living hall, only the third branch who were aloof from worldly affairs dared to take the initiative to

ask.

After Marlon spoke up, Ford echoed, “That’s right, Grandpa. Please let Luna go down and receive

treatment from a doctor.”

“Victor, I beg you. Luna knows her mistake and has paid the price she deserves. Please let her go for

treatment!” Diane could no longer hold it in. She knelt on the ground and cried as she begged.

Layne bit her lip lightly. Raymond’s expression contained herself to take the initiative to speak. She could

only plead with her eyes.

“She can’t take these three fingers away. Call the doctor over to treat Luna.

“Also… after she’s cured, send her out of the country. She’s not allowed to return without my orders.”

Diane’s countenance changed. “What? Victor, are you going to send Luna overseas? Are you going to

make her never return to Crucsia?”

“What? Do you still want to disobey my orders?”

Victor shot a cold glance at Diane.

Just this glance sent a chill running through Diane’s heart. She did not dare to say something more..

“I… I… I don’t dare…”

Raymond rained down curses on Diane’s head in his heart.

If Victor had a bad impression of the second branch because of this….

Raymond would definitely teach Diane a lesson when he returned!

Was she really tired of living peacefully all these years and wanted to live a life of being a street rat?

Just Hugh was already difficult to deal with.

Aside from the fact that Victor was like an old fox that no one could figure out what he was thinking, even as Victor’s son, Raymond was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart!

“If Luna can rely on her own ability to do something that impresses me overseas, it’s possible for her to come back.

“If she can’t even redeem her lost dignity, then the Croft family doesn’t need this kind of trash. What’s the point of bringing her back? To be used against the Croft family again?”

“Got it.”

Everyone retreated.

Luna was taken away to be treated by a doctor.

As for the three severed fingers, Victor arranged for the butler to clean up the wound.

The severed finger was thrown into the trash can.

After watching this show, Jane pursed her lips and said, “As expected of the previous leader of the Croft family. He’s so cold and unreasonable. All he thinks about is values.”

“This is Victor’s nature…”

Hugh muttered.

No one knew what he was thinking.

“Hugh, I’m not denying the survival rules set by your grandfather, but looking at your grandfather like this… don’t you think he’s a little pitiful?” said Jane.

After Victor had gone through everything, what he got, in the end, was reverence and fear from the bottom of the heart

of the Crofts.

They appeared respectful, fawning, and smiling, but Jane believed that none of them was sincere.

Even Victor’s children, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters were not sincere with him.

“Janie, there are many pitiful people in this world. If you want to use this word on my grandfather, there’s no need.

“I think he enjoys it. Some people live and put the family’s honor above everything else. I guess my grandfather will make anyone who insults this honor sorry.”
