No Way Back

Chapter 355

Jack could not help but fall silent

Raymond ****up his suit and realized that he had lost his composure just now. He walked past Jack and left.

Aaron said quiltily, “Dad… I’m sorry. I was too impulsive just now when I said that.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. It’s hard to say who is right or wrong in this matter. We have no right to blame others for their actions”

Jack had taught the Fowlers this ever since they were young

However…

The person who ***this time was none other than Diane, who was close to the Fowler family.

The bystanders could see it clearly.

Those who were involved would still be blinded by emotions.

Layne and the awakened Luna stayed by Diane’s side.

Luna’s eyes were swollen from crying. She could no longer cry even if she wanted to. She just sat there in a daze and looked at Diane’s corpse.

Layne’s eyes were gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.

Raymond appeared in front of the ward.

Luna saw Raymond and said hoarsely, “Dad… Mom…”

Raymond walked to Diane’s bed. After a moment of silence, he said, “I’ll arrange your mother’s funeral.”

After saying that, Raymond seemed to want to reach out and pull open the bedsheets to take one last look at Diane.

However, his hand stopped in midair. He did not extend it and retracted it.

“You guys stay here and keep her company.”

Raymond said this and turned to leave.

“Dad!”

Layne shot up from his seat. “Are you leaving again? Mom is already dead. Can’t you accompany her at a time like this?”

“Layne…” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Luna was stunned by Layne’s sudden outburst.

Raymond turned around and looked at Layne, who was panting heavily. Layne’s face was red, and his eyes were even flickering with hatred and confusion

“Who do you think you’re talking to, Layne Croft?”

Raymond’s voice was so cold that it seemed to have no temperature.

A handsome face that still had traces of his youth was frosty now.

The pressure in the air was almost suffocating Luna.

Fear arose from the bottom of her heart.

At home, Luna was afraid of her father.

Not only Luna, but even Layne also felt the same..

They had seen too much of Diane’s humble appearance in front of Raymond.

If they made a mistake, Raymond would punish them severely.

If not for Diane’s interference, their childhood would have been even more miserable.

However, the mother who had protected them was no longer around.

Il Layne and Raymond had a conflict, Luna didn’t know what to do.

“I’m talking to my father… My! Father!”

It would be a lie to say that Layne was not afraid of Raymond.

However, in the face of Diane’s death and Raymond’s indifference, anger surged in his heart.

“Dad, you’re Mom’s husband. Why are you still so indifferent when she’s dead?

“I know that you and Mom got together because of benefits, but both of you have been together for so many years. Don’t you have any pity for her?

“To others, Mom lived a glorious life, but she had no status at all in the family. She always had to bow down to you. She gave you two children, and now she ***tragically in an accident

“You didn’t even look at her and you still want to leave. The person who ****this time isn’t someone who has nothing to do with you. It’s your wife!”

“***up!”

Raymond gave Layne a hard slap.

Smack!

The crisp sound of a slap rang in the room.

Layne’s face was turned to the side.

It was burning with pain.

At the same time, Layne felt heartbroken.

His heart could never be pieced together again,

“Layne!”

Luna couldn’t care less and quickly went up to dissuade Raymond. “Dad, Layne was just shocked by Mom’s sudden death. Don’t be like this…” “Shocked? Who wouldn’t be shocked? No matter what, she’s still my lawfully wedded wife!

‘Do you think I’m not sad that she suddenly ***? I never dreamed that such a thing would happen, but if I stay here, can she come back from the dead?

“How do you think you got to live a superior life ever since you were young? How do you think your sister survives when she’s bad at her ***? Why do you think no one dares to provoke her and everyone from her circle fawns over her?

“Your grandfather gave you all of this, so it’s also easy for him to take it away! If I don’t pull myself together, this family will really be finished! “You! Are you aware that you would have to suffer if you started from the bottom without anything? Are you? Layne Croft!”

After being rebuked by Raymond, Layne didn’t know what to say.

His clenched fists relaxed dispiritedly.

He was like a deflated ball.

Layne really wanted to have the backbone to say “I am aware” to Raymond for the sake of his mother whom he respected. However, the slightest bit of rationality told Layne ****….

He didn’t

If Layne had to give up his current life of luxury, Layne would rather ***!

Even if he was forced to leave the branch of D.Y. Group by Hugh and lost his real power, Layne still had the bloodline of the Croft family people. He was Raymond’s only son

As long as Raymond did not fall, Layne would live a glorious life.

Even if Luna was chased out of Crucsia and could not return, she could still live a rich life abroad.

What supported all of this?

It was the power of the Croft family!

It was the money of the Croft family!

“It seems that you still have a trace of rationality. Layne, you’re my son. On account that Diane has just ***and you’re shocked, I can forgive you this time.

“There’s one more thing. Today, I was in the company dealing with the aftermath of the Sun City Square incident. I was in a terrible fix. Your good mother’s family came looking for me and said that she borrowed 12 million dollars from them!

“After they found out about Diane’s death, they rushed over to ask for money. Instead of fighting with me, I’d rather you deal with your mother’s insatiable family. They probably didn’t come to see your mother today either.”

“What did you say?”

Only then did Layne and Luna realize.

Even though Diane **, the Jason family did not show up either,

Layne had only notified Raymond.

He wanted to wait for Raymond to arrive before making a judgment.

But they had forgotten….

Sun City Square was owned by the Croft family.

After such a big incident, the Jason family would have been informed by their own network.

He probably already knew what happened to Diane.

The first thing he did was not rush to the hospital to see Diane.

Instead, he went to ask Raymond for money.

What was going on?

Luna muttered to herself, “That’s impossible. Mom has leftovers from her usual expenses. From what I know, Mom has money. Why would she suddenly borrow 12 million from Grandpa?”

“Moreover, the date of the loan was just a few days ago. They showed me the IOU. It has your mother’s signature and handprint. Even your grandfather and the others don’t know why she needed such a large sum of money!

“Layne, you’re my son. Your sister can’t be saved. Do you still want to continue being decadent here?

“You should know that in the Croft family, predators are everywhere. Hugh, your Uncle Jack, and your grandfather. Do you really think we still have a chance to catch our breath?

“This time, even if we don’t ***, we will still suffer a heavy loss!”

Raymond added another fact.

After saying that, Raymond glanced at the dead Diane.

In the end, he still turned his head away.

With so many things added together, it really made Raymond extremely frustrated.

He knew that even if Hugh did not kick him when he was down, afler Michael’s family saw such a good nonortunity they would defels.

Raymond catch his breath so easily.

The obstacles in the fight for family assets and power would naturally be removed as soon as possible.

If this incident happened to Michael, Raymond would also kick Michael when he was down mercilessly!

There were a lot of things to deal with in the aftermath of the incident at Sun City Square. He had to placate so many people who were injured, he had to make sure repairs were done, he had to salvage the company’s reputation, and he had to pay back Diane’s loans. He also had to deal with the enemy’s attacks from the dark…

Layne and Luna could cry here and feel sad about a dead person.

But Raymond couldn’t afford to.

If Diane was still alive, Raymond would definitely question her about the loan!

But at this point, what was the point of finding trouble with a dead person?
