Chapter 124
However, Layne had heard everything clearly.
“Hahaha, Lila, you’re right. As expected of my best friend. Our minds are in sync!”
Jane patted Lila’s head in admiration.
Even Lila could tell the nature of Layne at a glance.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.
“Cherish your life and stay away from a narcissistic guy. Janie, let’s bounce.”
Lila and Jane were thinking the same thing.
Lila didn’t know Layne.
Neither did she know the special relationship between him and Jane.
But she was disgusted by Layne’s ***.
“When I looked at him just now, he gazed up at the ceiling melancholically.
“Come on, does he think he’s some kind of super idol shooting a movie?”
If Lila wasn’t a classy lady, she would have punched Layne’s ***face which was an eyesore
to her.
However, everyone was so happy that night. Even if they asked the security guards to take
Layne away, it would still spoil their moods. Therefore, she figured they might as well leave.
“Sure. Drive my car. Let’s go to the mountain to see the stars.”
Jane said as she dragged Lila away.
Layne was surprised.
“After you two took turns calling me names, you want to run away?
“No way!”
Layne immediately stood up and stopped Jane.
“Great barkers are no biters. Get out of our ways.”
Lila said angrily.
She knew the narcissistic man would not let them off the hook so easily.
He must be captivated by Janie’s beauty.
“Jane, you and this woman humiliated me just now. Don’t you think you owe me an
explanation?” Layne tried his best to control his temper.
His privileged upbringing prevented him from yelling and losing control.
Even so, he was gnashing his teeth while speaking to Jane.
Anger welled up in his chest and he was about to explode.
“Humiliate you?”
Jane laughed.
“You want to admit that?”
“You… admit what? What do you mean? You just…”
“I didn’t mention your name, did I? Layne, you’re from the Croft family after all. Why are
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou so eager to label yourself as a narcissist?”
Jane’s silver tongue rendered Layne speechless.
He didn’t even know how to refute her.
Jane was simply telling the truth.
She really had not mentioned Layne’s name.
But that remark was obviously directed at him.
If Layne continued to pursue the matter, he would really label himself as Mr. Narcissist.
Jane was very popular in Nightshade Bar now.
There were not many people drinking near them, but when the customers heard their
argument, they all looked at Jane.
“Hey, Peter, your sister has really gotten into a fight with Layne… Peter?”
Larry was waiting for a good show.
But Peter had already gotten up and rushed out of the VIP room.
He moved so fast that even Larry couldn’t stop him.
“This guy… seriously, he can’t wait to get humiliated.”
Larry could not help but frown.
Even if Peter rushed out to help Jane deal with Layne, Jane would not appreciate his
kindness.
She might even sneer at him.
Who asked Peter to owe her so much?
As Peter’s buddy, Larry was afraid that something would happen to him, so he immediately
went after him.
Lila snorted. “The Croft family? Janie, have you mistaken him for someone else? He’s from
the Croft family? He can’t compare to Hugh Croft at all.”
Lila didn’t know Hugh very well.
But they had met a few times.
Compared to Hugh, Layne was simply a pile of ***.
Detestable and off-putting.
He was worlds apart from Hugh.
“You!”
Layne gritted his teeth grimly.
He ***it the most when others compared him with Hugh and deemed him the laser.
Especially when a complete stranger like Lila did that.
“It’s none of your business!”
“Layne!”
Just then, Peter rushed over.
He glared at Layne, shielding Lila and Jane behind him.
“What are you doing?
“Peter, why are you here?”
Layne frowned.
“What does Peter mean?
“Isn’t he taking the wrong side?
“Why is he on guard against Layne?
“Doesn’t he always protect Madelyn and ***that I’m back?”
Jane was puzzled.
“Janie, what’s going on? Why is Peter here? And why does it look like he’s protecting us?”
Never in a million years would Lila have imagined that this would happen.
After all, Peter ***Jane so much that he wished she was dead.
Lila has seen how badly he treated his own sister.
“He’s probably out of his mind. Don’t bother them. Let’s go.”
Jane grabbed Lila’s hand and ran wildly.
Layne wanted to stop them, but Peter stood in his way.
“Peter, move aside. This is none of your business.”
“How is this none of my business? Layne, Jane is my biological sister. If you dare to touch
her, I will definitely not let you off!”
Peter stood in front of Layne, as steady as a rock.
He would never let Layne pass.
He didn’t say it loudly.
Fortunately, Jane was running away with Lila and did not hear him.
If she heard that, she would definitely turn around, give Peter a hard kick, and tell him,
“Don’t ***disgust me!”
Layne looked at Peter in disbelief.
“Peter, do you have a ********loose? Jane is your biological sister? You were not like this in
the past. “Also, what will little Maddie think if she finds out that you are defending Jane? She
will definitely be very upset.”
At the mention of Madelyn, the image of her crying flashed across Peter’s mind and his
heart ached at little.
“Maddie… is my sister too, but Jane is my biological sister who shares the same blood as
me. This is an undeniable fact. I was wrong in the past, but now that I’ve come to my
senses, I want to make it up to her. Can’t I?
“Layne, I’m warning you. Don’t harbor evil intentions against Jane. Or I won’t let
Peter could not repeat the same mistake.
Back then, he cared too much about Madelyn’s feelings and hurt Jane a lot.
you off!”
He knew what was done could not be undone. But he would not do anything that would hurt
Jane and make him regret it again.
Layne glared angrily at Peter.
Everyone was waiting to watch a good show and thought that the two of them would fight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Peter, I’ll do you a favor this time.
“But remember, I’m not afraid of you. Our families are so close, and we grew up together.
We’re like brothers. But you treat me like this for a woman who betrayed and broke ties with
the Fowler family. you’ll regret this one day!”
Layne turned around and stormed off.
Layne valued old friendships too much.
That was his weakness.
He still cherished his friendship with the Fowler family.
Moreover, they were crucial for him in defeating Hugh and taking charge in the Croft family
in the future.
So, he could not clash with Peter there.
A heated argument ended peacefully.
Everyone thought to themselves, “What a pity.”
“Why didn’t they fight?”
“Such a bummer.”
Jane and Lila arrived at the underground parking lot.
Just as they were about to leave in the Porsche Cayenne, a man stood in front of the car.
“Jane.”
It was Larry.
Jane rolled down the window and said impatiently, “What are you doing?”
Larry pursed his lips.
Judging from Jane’s hostility, he knew that Peter must have been treated with contempt
trying to play the hero.
Fortunately, Peter did not interact much with Jane when he was trying to stop Layne.
Otherwise, Larry could imagine how devastated that guy would be.
As his buddy, Larry did not know how to help Peter to untie the knot in his heart and
reconcile with. Jane.
“Jane, just now… Peter stopped Layne to protect you.
“He saw that Layne seemed to be pestering you. He was afraid that you’d get hurt….
“Ugh, I don’t know what to say anymore. You should understand… Peter regrets it. He’s
trying his best to make amends to you…”
Larry’s mind was in tumult.
Even when he spoke to Jane, he stuttered.
Mainly because when Larry said these words, he thought of Peter’s regretful and depressed
look.
Then, he saw Jane’s eyes gradually turn cold, and the corners of her lips curled up into a
sneer.
It was a blatant mockery.
She did not hide it at all.
Larry couldn’t go on.
Jane then spoke.
“So?”
