Chapter 3 - No Way Back

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.

However, when he took Jane home, Jack had no idea Jane would turn out to be such a crafty brat.

She even smiled as if she were just a bystander in this family drama.

“Jane, does your heart even work? Do you not feel even the slightest need to apologize to Madelyn after seeing this?” Unable to take it any longer, Peter intervened while staring angrily at Jane.

Jane almost burst into laughter.

Her gaze was ironic as it landed on Peter.

She didn’t say anything, but Peter understood that she was judging him condescendingly.

Peter felt ashamed because his sister, whom he had never acknowledged and secretly hoped was dead, had embarrassed him in front of everyone.

With a burst of rage, he reached for his phone and immediately opened the day’s most popular trend.

Then he gave the phone to Jane while shouting, “Look at what you’ve done! Don’t blame us if you feel wronged!”

When Jane looked down at the phone, she saw that the first trending topic was “The True Fowler Heiress Exposed.”

While Peter clicked in, Jane took in more information about the current trending topic..

There were rumors that someone abducted Jane from the hospital soon after her birth, and she didn’t

resurface for another nineteen years. The Fowler Company had recently acknowledged her.

There were also pictures of Jane going in and out of the Fowler residence, going to college, and taking part in Fowler family events.

The second trending topic is about Madelyn: “Madelyn Fowler’s Future Life.”

The comments made in response to these topics were a complete and utter mess.

People couldn’t stop tweeting about what they thought about it.

“Real heiress vs. fake heiress? This is going to be a good show.”

“The saga of a wealthy family playing out.”

“Unbelievable! Fowler Corporation’s stock even went up because of this. Can you believe it?”

“Madelyn is like a little princess to the Fowlers and is always at their parties, so it’s no surprise she’s a family favorite.”

“But looking at the photos, the real heiress they found isn’t so bad either. She’s pretty, too.”

“But her demeanor is far worse than Madelyn’s. After all, she’s been out there for many years, and her upbringing can’t be fixed.”

Jane looked at the phone and remained expressionless, asking Peter, “What’s your point?”
