Chapter 254
It was true that he had worked for Victor for many years.
However, the estrangement between their identities would never disappear.
Harper knew very well that this was crossing the line.
“If it were any other heir, I’d be a little more worried.
“I don’t have to worry about Hugh.”
Victor said it very casually.
“Master… you…”
“Well, it’s not like I’m getting old and useless, but do you know why I retired so early and handed over the
Croft family and D.Y. Group to Hugh?
“This kid is much more powerful than I was back then. I’m decades older than him, but in terms of
strength now, I’m not as good as him.
“It’s just that he’s less experienced when it comes to harming his siblings.”
Speaking of such a cruel thing….
Victor said in a casual manner as if he was talking about the weather today.
He remained calm and composed.
This was something that others did not even dare to think about.
In the Croft family, however, such things happened a lot.
If the person in charge of the Croft family lacked this bit of courage….
This so-called “benevolence” would sooner or later kill him.
No one could resist the temptation of such a huge family fortune.
Harper pursed his lips.
Of course he knew…
It had been 50 years.
For fifty years, Harper had accompanied Victor all the way here.
In the beginning, Victor did not want to be an executioner who fought against his siblings.
Later on…
Victor was numb
This was something the member of the Croft family had to go through in order to become the person in
charge of the Croft family.
There was no room for rejection.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf he refused…
He was doomed.
His other brothers would not show any mercy and let him off.
The word ‘power’ made it too easy for people to become insensitive and cold-blooded.
“Harper, you’ve been by my side for so long. You should know… I’m old. I don’t want to have any killing
intent.
“For today’s trial regarding Luna, if I had known earlier, I would have just left it to Hugh. I’m already
retired, so why should I care so much?
“I’m actually thinking about going traveling with my brother. We’ll just go to the places that my wife
wanted to go when she was alive but didn’t have the time to.
“As for Jane… Hugh will find a way to tame her. If he can’t even tame a woman, what right does he have
to fight for the Croft family?”
“I understand.”
Harper secretly sighed.
In the final analysis, Victor’s change stemmed from his wife’s death.
No one could know…
Even his wife didn’t know that before she ***.
How important she was in Victor’s heart?
Even Victor would not be able to get an answer if he asked himself.
Hugh sent Jane back to her apartment.
*Janie, my grandfather… didn’t do anything to you, right?”
Hugh spoke carefully
The depths of his eyes gradually turned cold.
If Victor dared to do anything to Jane…
“He didn’t. He just made it clear to me about the survival law of the Croft family.
“By the way… your grandfather actually cares about you. For one thing, you’re his grandson, and for
another, you’re the one in charge of the Croft family.”
Jane said calmly.
For Victor, Hugh was not only Victor’s blood-related grandson but also the Croft family’s future.
Logically speaking. Victor could put everything aside, but not Hugh.
It involved Victor’s love and responsibility for Hugh….
But only Victor knew which one took a bigger part.
“Janie…”
Hugh did not expect Jane to say such a thing. He was a little surprised.
“Hugh, I want to ask… Was your grandmother happy as Victor’s wife before she **?”
Before getting out of the car, Jane unbuckled her seatbelt and stared at Hugh.
Hugh pursed his lips and recalled the elegant face in his dim memories. “… She was not happy, but she
wanted to stay by Grandpa’s side.”
“She loved your grandpa?”
“Yes… she did, but Grandpa didn’t love her that much.”
Sometimes, Hugh could see his grandmother looking at Victor with infatuation.
Occasionally, there would be a hint of resentment.
If she had not met Victor and fallen in love with this man….
Would Grandma have led a different, happier, and better life?
She wouldn’t have been trapped in the Croft family like a canary in a cage, living a life of scheming.
She wouldn’t have to wear a fake mask and accompany Victor to all kinds of banquets. Sometimes, she
had to watch the man she loved play with other women.
She wouldn’t have been devoured by jealousy in her heart and it took her forever to find healing.
This was an unsolvable question.
No one knew the answer.
One was fearless when he or she was been deeply loved.
The unreachable one always made the other one restless.
In the game of “love”, whoever was the first to fall in love was destined to be the **and bow down to the
person they loved deeply.
At this moment…
Jane reached out and stroked Hugh’s face.
Her warm palm touched Hugh’s slightly cold face.
It was as if there was a chemical reaction. Hugh subconsciously looked at Jane.
“I’m just asking. Don’t look so serious.”
Hugh looked at Jane’s gentle smile.
Gradually, the coldness in Hugh’s eyes dissipated.
…Janie, promise me that no matter what happens, no matter what others say…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You have to stick to what you think is right. Just be yourself and live your life.
“I love the unrestrained and free Jane, Do you understand?”
Hugh reached out and gently grabbed Jane’s hand that was caressing his cheek.
He enunciated each word clearly.
His eyes were burning with energy that was as bright as the sun.
“Of course. I won’t break my wings again for anyone.
“I’m Jane. I’ll keep glowing until I die.
“Hugh, if you love me, accept me. I’m not restrained, and I won’t allow myself to be imprisoned.”
Jane’s lips curled up into a smile.
Today, in the Croft family, Jane had a rough taste of Victor’s ruthlessness.
But Jane and Hugh would not be Victor and his poor wife.
The two of them had their own lives.
It was up to them to live their life, happy or sad.
They wouldn’t be manipulated by the elders of the last century!
“Yes!”
Hugh couldn’t help it.
He gently leaned forward.
He realized that Jane did not refuse.
His thin lips landed a light kiss on Jane’s cheek.
It was as if he had planted poppies and was obsessed with poison.
This gentle kiss was not enough.
His lips landed on her cheeks to her lips.
A kiss.
It was a deep kiss.
At the same time…
Diane was taking care of the unconscious Luna who had lost too much blood in the hospital.
Hatred surged like a tidal wave in her eyes.
“Jane…
“She is unforgivable!
“If it wasn’t for you, my precious daughter wouldn’t have ended up like this!” Diane thought with
resentment.
