Chapter 117
Connor almost choked on a ****of water, and he quickly explained
“Mr. Lance, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not Jane’s boyfriend. We’re really just friends.
“Oh, so you haven’t confirmed your relationship. It doesn’t matter. You two look like a
perfect couple I think highly of you. Jane is already a university student. It’s very normal for
you two to fall in love.”
“No, no, no! I don’t have any designs on Jane! Mr. Lance, please don’t say anymore. I’m
really afraid of being ***by someone…”
Such a joke was not funny at all.
If the cold blooded man, Hugh, found out that Connor was misunderstood by others as
Jane’s boyfriend, Connor would be beaten to a pulp by Hugh even though they were best
friends.
Now, for the first time, Hugh had a woman he liked. Connor had seen all kinds of
unimaginable changes in Hugh for Jane.
Even if Connor had tens of thousands of guts, he would not dare to be misunderstood by
others as Jane’s boyfriend.
“Alright, Mr. Lance, Connor, since we met here, let’s go in together.”
Jane rubbed her temples and did not explain further.
Because just now, Connor’s eyes revealed the sharpness of a plot toward Jane.
Therefore, Jane decided to let Connor live in fear.
Jane and the others entered the venue.
After a while, a bright red Ferrari arrived at the entrance of the competition venue.
Layne got out of the driver’s seat and opened the front passenger seat door like a
gentleman. Layne held the hand of Madelyn in a princess-like ****dress and came down.
“Layne, you just came back. I’m very happy that you invited me to witness this competition.

“But I’ve disappointed you. Mr. Lance didn’t choose any of my works to participate in this
competition. The one who participated in the competition was Janie. If I come here, I’ll only
be mocked by Janie. We had better leave.”
Madelyn was still very hesitant.
But from her delicate and **posture, it seemed like Jane had used some despicable method
to snatch the place in the competition from Madelyn.
In fact, when Madelyn was chatting with Layne, she had always used this disguise to lure
Layne. Layne was almost angered to death when he heard that on a business trip in Cafiea.
Layne swore that when he returned to Crucsia, he would definitely seek justice for Madelyn
and teach Jane a lesson!
“Maddie, don’t worry. This ***Jane dared to use despicable methods to confuse the
professor and snatch
your place in the competition. I won’t let her off. This place in the competition was originally
yours!
“I think it must be because Jane is flirtatious. Maybe she has an illicit sexual relationship
with the professor, so the professor gave her the place!
“Coincidentally, the Croft family has sponsorship for this competition. I can get the
invitation and the right to review. I will make Jane pay the price!”
Layne had specially brought Madelyn over to let Madelyn watch Jane lose in the best
viewing area!
Besides, Layne wanted to avenge his sister, Luna!
Layne wanted to let Jane know what kind of big shot he had provoked and to regret it!
“Layne, don’t be like this… Janie already ******me enough. It’s all my fault.
“I am in the Fowler family, and daddy and the others dote on me more. It wasn’t easy for
Janie to be found and return to the Fowler family after disappearing for so many years. It’s
inevitable that she becomes jealous.
“If it isn’t because of me, things wouldn’t have developed to this point. I should have died
back then. Daddy and the others shouldn’t have brought me to the Fowler family. If so, none
of this would have. happened. Janie wouldn’t have humiliated himself like that, and
wouldn’t have lost her innocence to embarrass me…”
Madelyn was crying. Her soft and weak voice of self-blame made Layne’s heart ache, and it
was so painful that he was about to die.
“Maddie, stop crying here in case someone sees you. You’re so innocent and kind. I
definitely won’t tolerate that bad woman Jane bullying you! This time, I’ll definitely seek
justice for you!”
Layne hugged Madelyn and comforted her gently, his eyes flickering with intense anger.
If Jane was right in front of him, Layne swore that his anger would definitely burn Jane to
pieces!
Layne thought to himself. “How dare you make my most beloved woman cry? Jane, I’ll
definitely settle this score with you!”
Jane still did not know about Layne and Madelyn’s performance outside.
If Jane knew, she would definitely feel regretful that she didn’t get to see such a good show.
What a pity.
Jane, Mr. Lance, and Connor found a suitable seat.
At this ****, Connor whispered into Jane’s ear, “Jane, there’s something interesting. Do you
want to hear it? It’s related to Hugh.”
Jane rolled her eyes at Connor. “Can you speak normally?”
“Alright, actually, the Luther Group isn’t the only one sponsoring this competition. The Croft
family also sponsored it.
“However, for an art competition at the level of university students, a top-notch wealthy
family like the Croft family would definitely send someone unimportant to show up.
“It just so happens that the person who appeared today was Layne, the precious son of the
second. branch of the Croft family who had just returned from a business trip in Cafiea
yesterday.
“Besides, Layne asked for an invitation long ago. Don’t you think it’s strange?
“If I remember correctly, Layne’s mother, Diane, had a grudge against you at Cloudnine
Restaurant. She even has an extremely good relationship with the Fowler family. This time,
when they found out that you had entered the finals, they were definitely targeting you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConnor nodded his chin and looked at Jane with interest.
Connor wanted to know how Jane would react to such news.
After all, Jane was the woman Hugh liked.
Connor wanted to know how amazing Jane was to make a man like Hugh like and cherish
her without hesitation, afraid that she would suffer any slight grievance.
Jane must have known about this in advance.
However, Jane’s words surprised Connor.
“Really? Then I have to say Layne is really boring. He wasted so much time just to deal with
me. It
seems that if it isn’t for Hugh, the Croft family has already been going downhill long before.
But it’s not a big deal.”
Jane’s reaction was very calm, and she even ridiculed the Croft family as if no one was
around.
From the tone of her voice, it seemed that this well-deserved top-notch wealthy family in
Stormton City which could shake the entire business world of Crucsia with a stomp of their
feet was nothing in the eyes of Jane.
Connor did not expect Jane to have such an attitude and could not help but smile.
It seemed like Connor finally understood why Hugh liked Jane.
Jane was calm and fearless not because of Hugh’s favoritism.
Instead, it was because of her own powerful strength and absolute confidence formed from
winning all the way that Jane had the guts to say such words to ridicule the Croft family and
not even take them seriously.
After all, the first-class lawyer, Andy, whom countless dignitaries couldn’t meet even though
they had spent a lot of money, had rejected all his work and flown from Rheinsville to
Stormton City just for Jane’s words.
There must be bigger trump cards in Alice, which made people curious about her very
much.
