No Way Back

Chapter 274

Jane was also shocked.

She looked at how Connor interacted with Lila

She had a feeling.

She could not help but feel that Connor had feelings for Lila.

As Lila’s best friend, Jane was concerned about Lila’s future boyfriend.

Meanwhile, she also felt that Connor, who was the heir of the Luther Group, would not be a good boyfriend.

Anytime, for the time being, she did not want to do anything first to stop them from getting closer to each other. She decided to just wait and see how things went.

Moreover, someone who was blunt like Lila definitely did not realize whatever was going on between her and Connor

“Logically speaking, no one would dare to cause trouble in Nightshade Bar. They know that this is my territory” Connor said.

“Since they dared to do this, I will make sure they pay the price, especially Layne”

Connor seemed determined.

Layne offended Jane.

There was no need for Connor to make a move.

As long as Jane told Hugh about this, one could make sure of one thing.

Layne was dead for sure.

Lila pouted and said, “Hey, Connor, don’t think that we can forgive you easily like this! You ruined our good mood for drinking today!”

Connor rolled his eyes and said, “Of course… Why don’t I do my part as a host and bring you guys out some other day” As they heard what Connor said, they had mixed feelings.

Lila wanted to reject the latter, but she thought that the places that Connor could bring them to were definitely places that ordinary people could not go. She said, “Uh… Janie, what do you think?”

Jane closed her eyes. Surely, she knew that Connor had ulterior motives and thus, she gave him an out. “Well, I won’t go if it’s not a fun place.”

“Sure, it’s very fun,” he answered.

Connor smiled mysteriously as he said that

He patted Lila’s head dotingly again.

“Don’t touch my head. I’m not a dog or a kitten, Lila said.

Lila wanted to resist, but apparently, she was no threat to Connor, who was 6 feet 3 inches.

She was like a kitten being bullied by a giant.

Connor did not even realize how gentle his smile was now. He said, “Because it feels quite comfortable, Lila.” “****! I told you not to touch me! Janie, save me!”

Jane fell speechless.

She could not stand any longer watching the two of them.

She thought to herself, “Oh, my god!”

Connor then sent Jane and Lila off.

Connor called Hugh.

“Hugh, are you busy?” he asked.

“I’m fine. What’s the matter?”

Somehow, it was not Connor’s imagination.

He had felt something changed ever since Hugh and Jane became closer

Connor clearly felt that his best friend was not as cold as before.

He had more warmth than a human should have.

This was a good sign.

Connor was still close with Robert and Hugh.

But sometimes, Connor still felt that Hugh was emotionless.

He felt that Hugh’s life was lacking in emotions.

After all, Hugh lived in the Croft family and was personally raised by Victor. He was accused of causing his mother’s death and his father left him alone. In the end, he became the head of the Croft family at a young age.

Now, there was Jane.

At the very least, he hoped that her presence could change Hugh. All of them were very relieved that Jane had come into Hugh’s life. Connor told Hugh what happened that night at the Nightshade Bar That was when he told Hugh that he felt a chill running down his spine.

He could feel a coldness coming from the other end of the phone.

He could even feel his heart tighten when he sensed the killing intent from the other end of the phone.

“I know you will deal with it, so I won’t interfere,” he quickly added.

Connor felt guilty and wanted to hang up the phone quickly.

He would still feel intimidated even when he was close to Hugh for so long.

He knew well that when Hugh was really angry, it would be the end of the world.

Even Robert, who was the bubbly and cheerful one, did not dare to mess with Hugh at this **.

It had been a long time since Hugh could not control his killing intent.

He wondered, ‘Was it because the target was Jane?*

He could not think of any other reason.

After offending Jane, Layne was dealt with very badly.

The revenge from Hugh was the most fatal to Layne.

“I will solve that,” Hugh replied calmly

His cold words sounded like a death knell.

He enunciated each word clearly and slowly.

Connor quickly hung up NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Only then he could escape from Hugh’s suffocating killing intent.

It wasn’t like Connor had done anything wrong.

He didn’t want to be implicated by Layne.

After Diane and Raymond received the news, they rushed to the hospital.

Layne’s head had already been wrapped with medicine and bandaged. He was recuperating in the best environment. After this period of time, Layne woke up. He knew what had happened, but his head still hurt.

*Son!”

Diane came to Layne’s side. Suppressing her nervousness, she held Layne’s hand. Her eyes were red as she asked, “You… Are you alright? Why did this happen out of nowhere? You scared me to death.”

“***… I’m sorry. I’m fine,” Layne said.

She was so guilty that she didn’t dare to speak loudly because he knew that he was drunk and attacked Jane before he fainted.

Raymond said with a gloomy expression, “What exactly happened? I went to Nightshade Bar to ask for the surveillance video, but they didn’t want to give it to me at all!

“Jack, don’t be so rude to your son… Diane said.

*****up!*

Raymond glared fiercely at Diane.

Diane instantly did not dare to speak. She could only caress the back of Layne’s hand

“I’m sorry, Dad. I was drunk and caused this mess…” he said.

“Are you crazy? Didn’t you see what happened to Luna? Why are you still like this?” he asked

“If your grandfather finds out, you won’t be able to bear the consequences! Don’t tell me that you want your fingers to be cut off and to be chased out of Crucsia like a drowning dog, right?” he further said.

****with Raymond’s insults, Layne didn’t dare to make a sound.

At the end of the day, Layne was the one who gave others something to use against him.

Layne was in the wrong.

In his memory, ever since Layne grew up, this was the first time Raymond had scolded him so angrily.

He was really afraid that Layne would end up like Luna.

In that case, there would be no hope there for the second branch of the Croft family.

“I know I was wrong. Dad, I’ll accept it no matter how you scold me.”

Layne didn’t want to come up with any excuses. This would only make Raymond even angrier.

The only way out was to obediently lower his head and admit his mistake.

When Raymond saw Layne like this, he looked disappointed.

He cursed in his heart, “***it!

One of his daughters was trash, and the other was a son that he could not count on. If anything. Layne disappointed Raymond

If not for the fact that he was worried about being plotted against by the first branch, Raymond should have let his lover secretly give birth to a few sons. At least he could have more hope!

He would not have to go through the dilemma now

“Tap! Tap!”

Footsteps could be heard.

“Sir, I’m sorry. This is the VIP ward of the hospital. You can’t go in…”

The door was suddenly pushed open.
