No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

“Is that Janie?”

Madelyn felt shocked as if her heart had been hit by a hammer.

She clutched her bag tighter subconsciously.

“Impossible!” she thought.

“How can Jane Fowler be so luminous?”

From what Madelyn remembered, Jane had been quiet and kept to herself.

Even when she had come to the Fowler family, she had been reserved and seemed to have no sense of style. She had been insecure and meek.

To be honest, Madelyn had not thought much of Jane.

Compared to Madelyn, Jane had been inferior in terms of academic performance and upbringing.

However, Jane’s relationship with the Fowler family had been complicated, so Madelyn devised a plan to oust Jane from the family.

Although the plan had not gone smoothly, the results had been better than expected.

Madelyn had successfully driven Jane away from the Fowler family. Neither her mother nor father suspected it had been her behind it.

Madelyn had thought she had gotten rid of Jane for good. Since Jane had been the one to cut ties with the Fowler family, it would probably be hard for her to rejoin the family.

With Madelyn acting behind the scenes, crying and making sure the rest of the Fowler family felt sorry for her, she was sure there was no way Jane would be rejoining the family.

However, as she looked at Jane now, Madelyn’s heart thumped loudly in alarm.

Since the incident a few days ago, Jane seemed to have become a totally different person. It did not make any sense to Madelyn.

“It’s her…” Peter muttered.

His lips were pursed.

He was not sure what he was feeling.

Peter thought, “Jane Fowler… Jane… Exactly which is the real you?

“How is there such a big difference?

“It’s as if you have been reborn.”

If it were not for her appearance, no one would believe that this Jane Fowler was the same one from Peter’s memory when she was part of the family. He had found that Jane hateful. She had low self-esteem and had been hungry for familial love.

While in the car earlier Peter had been thinking.

He and Madelyn had been on the way to the University of Oricle.

Peter began to have second thoughts.

Jane was from the same university as he and Madelyn.

In the 15 days that Jane had been a part of the Fowler family, it had never occurred to Peter to have Jane go to school with them.

First, he was afraid Madelyn would be hurt.

Second, he hated Jane, so he did not want her to become part of the Fowler family. He also hated her cowardly nature.
