No Way Back by Anna Mac

However, he was not surprised by her move.

He could tell that Jane was on the verge of collapse earlier after Ford’s repeated harassment.

Judging by the sound of bones breaking just now.

Ford would probably have to lie in bed for a month.

Jane sneered. “Reckless? You have seen nothing yet, Marlon.”

Marlon was rendered speechless by her reply.

He suddenly had an ominous hunch.

“You… How dare you hit me? Even my parents didn’t hit me!”

Ford’s face contorted in pain; he clutched his abdomen. Jane’s kick broke at least two of his ribs.

Moreover, his stomach

felt like a propeller had hit it. His body was about to break into pieces, and his tears were about to fall!

“Oh, in that case, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your useless parents. I bet you

understand what retreating in the face of difficulties means by now!”

Jane walked forward and stepped on Ford’s right thigh.

“Ahhh!”

The right thigh was a very sensitive part of the human body.

Without special training, this part of the muscles was very weak.

A heavy step on the right thigh would bring unforgettable pain!

“Hold it, Jane, you’re going to ***Ford!”

Although Marlon did not want to get involved, Ford was his cousin. Moreover, he was with Marlon at the

bar.

If Jane ***Ford, Marlon would be in hot soup trying to explain himself. He could sense the genuine

***intent emanating from Jane.

“Hmph, Ford Croft, my tolerance for you has already reached the limit. Get out of my sight in the future.

Otherwise, I will beat you up every time I lay eyes on you, and I will not hold back. I’m a woman of my

word!”

Jane finally let Ford loose on account of Marlon pleading for leniency for him.

Otherwise, Jane might actually ****Ford in her current rage.

She thought Ford was even more *********than Layne Croft, aka Mr. Narcissist!

However, Layne at least had some ****. On the other hand, Ford was the epitome of ****!

Jane began to wonder if Hugh was the only normal man in the Croft family. The other Croft men felt that

wornen would naturally fall for them and played hard to get games to amuse them.

Maybe they were twisted-minded too. The more Jane humiliated them, the happier they became as if the

forbidden fruit was the sweetest. Perhaps the Croft men had smooth-sailing lives, and they liked

challenges of this nature.

“Jane, why am I not good enough for you? Even if you don’t like me, give me time to see if we can get

along! Perhaps you’ll discover a new world. You’ll see that I’m a good man and appreciate my sincere

love for you at first sight,” Ford rattled on. “I’m a disciplined man. I’ve never had a girlfriend before, and

I’ve been waiting for a woman who can steal my heart. It’s you, Jane! I fell in love with you the moment I

saw you! Why aren’t you willing to give me a chance?”

Ford endured the pain in his abdomen and shattered pride as he growled with reddened eyes.

He could not believe it! He honestly could not think that Jane did not have any feelings for him! He was

the Croft family’s eldest grandson, for crying out loud! He had the status and power that were beyond the

reach of an average man! He could not be as useless as Jane had claimed! Was he that bad after all?

Ford wondered.

“Ford Croft, I’ll tell you one last time. I’m not interested in a man like you who’s short in stature but thinks

highly of himself. You have no perception and don’t understand the meaning of words or the

surroundings. I’m not interested in a ****lovesick bootlicker like you! A *********like you may be worthy of

other dubious women who would treat you like treasure. But you mean absolutely nothing to me!”

Then Jane gave Ford the finger before leaving in style.

False hope must have encouraged Ford to think that Jane had to reciprocate his infatuation for her.

Moreover, Ford’s interest in Jane was also tied to many benefits he could not ignore.

He would not have pestered Jane if she did not have the world championship title and was Yale

Mitchell’s junior apprentice-sister.

It went without saying.

Hugh was the only man who truly liked Jane for what she was.

He did not like Jane because of her association with Yale Mitchell or her extraordinary achievement.

Hugh liked her because she was Jane Fowler.

The one and only Jane Fowler in the world.

That was all!

Ford lay paralyzed on the ground as if someone had extracted his soul.

The pain in Ford’s body now paled compared to his heartache!

Ford had taken a fancy to Jane from the start because she was beautiful and had a world championship

title. In addition, she was Yale Mitchell’s junior apprentice-sister, among other things.

But he was utterly humiliated and rejected by Jane.

Ford was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness that he wanted to cry.

His heart palpitated when he first met Jane. It was not only because of the benefits she brought but also

because he was deeply infatuated with her irresistible temperament.

Jane would not have accepted such *********infatuation from the start!

“You’d better give up, Ford. Jane will never fall for you. I don’t think any man in this world is worthy of a

woman like her. I’ll take you to the hospital first. Your injuries look serious and can’t delay.”

Marlon noticed Ford’s reddened eyes welled up when he tried to help him up from the floor.

Holy shit! His poor cousin, who aspired to be like Michael Croft, had tears rolling down his face.

Marlon was overwhelmed by the things that had happened tonight. They were out of this world! He

strived to make sense of them but failed miserably.

God, I’m so tired. Hurry up and end all this nonsense. I want to go home, wash up, and sleep. Marlon

thought.
