No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Jane Got Slapped

“What did you say?” Jack couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

Even Peter was taken aback.

“I said, why do I have to kneel? Are you a mob boss or something? Are you seriously considering physically harming your daughter?” Jane retorted, remaining as composed as ever.

Her expression was calm, like that of a peaceful pond, but beneath the surface, a flame was burning.

Jane wasn’t being angry at the Fowler family.

Since she no longer cared about them, she could no longer hate them; instead, she only felt apathy.

For some reason, this made Jane remember the time in her previous life when she had obeyed Jack’s command and knelt in fear.

She had tried desperately to defend herself against baseless accusations and demands, but no one had listened.

When Peter saw Madelyn sobbing, he lost his temper and severely smacked Jane.

Jane had to apologize, fearing that her family would be angry. She had no choice but to put up with all the false accusations and carry the weight of things she had never done.

Now she wondered why she had been such an idiot and had lived a life devoid of dignity in her previous life.

Jane was now mad at her old self.

“Great. I see you’ve grown some backbone to disobey me,” said Jack, who was genuinely furious this time. He was about to slap Jane and raise his hand.

At that moment, “Dad, don’t!” Madelyn suddenly shouted.

Her words abruptly halted Jack’s hand in mid–air.

Anna looked at Madelyn with a shocked expression and asked, “Sweetheart, what are you…?”

Madelyn was sobbing and yelling at the same time, her voice becoming hoarse as she appeared to be on the verge of passing out from a lack of oxygen. “Don’t hit Janie, Dad, please don’t… She’s your biological daughter anyway!”

Jack was momentarily brought back to his senses when he heard the words “biological daughter.

He cast a profound and thoughtful look in Jane’s direction.

Whether Jack wanted to admit it or not, the woman in front of him was of his own blood.
