Chapter 1177
Graham collected himself, his eyes still on Eric and Lynette in the front row with a bitter smile on his face. “Looks like your mom has found love again after all these years. That’s good.’
He had no plan to disturb Lynette. If she was truly happy, he would not interfere in her life.
At that time, Jenny looked away from her phone after reading the information sent by Zack. The sight of Eric and Lynette seemed the more ironic to her.
“Dad, you’re overthinking. Don’t you think Lynette doesn’t like Eric Dafoe?” Jenny still squirmed at the thought of addressing Lynette as “Mom”. After all, they’d never met in person. It took her a long time to address Graham as “Dad.” At this moment, Lynette was nothing more than a stranger to her. Had it not been for Graham’s insistence to search for Lynette, Jenny was prepared to live a life without her mom.
However, her mindset shifted after she read the details about Eric.
Graham turned to her with a confused look. “What do you mean? Is your mom forced into the relationship?”
“From the information in my hands, after her family took her back to Bayside City, she was forced into marrying Eric Dafoe. They don’t have a good relationship over these years.” The information showed that Lynette wasn’t into Eric, but the man seemed to treat her well.
Still, Jenny believed that there was more to the story. Even if Lynette disliked Eric, she could have treated him with basic respect. There must be a good reason behind her intense disgust for him, and Jenny was sure she’d find out the truth sooner or later.
Graham didn’t know what to feel about the information. “If your mom doesn’t like Eric Dafoe, we need to figure out a way to help her escape!” He knew too well the torturous feeling of spending years with a partner one didn’t love.
“Let’s find a chance to ask more questions about this statement. What if the information is incorrect? We can’t break their marriage.” Although she hoped to see Graham living out his later years in happiness, they should not be breaking up anyone’s family in the process. Even if Graham was her dad, she would not accept him if he ruined anyone’s family.
Graham nodded. He didn’t need Jenny’s reminder. “Don’t worry. I’m not that hopeless.”
The auction was still ongoing, and Lynette felt someone’s gaze on her. In Eric’s presence, she dared not act in a way that raised eyebrows. She focused on the items on the stage to divert her attention.
“The next item is a ruby pendant sponsored by Miss Jenny Walter from Bardoff City. The starting bid is one million dollars.” Once the host introduced the items, the guests at the event started whispering to each other. The Walters, from Bardoff City? Why would the Walters attend this particular charity dinner?
Not only was Jenny unflinching in the face of the attention and gossip, but she also stood up and greeted everyone at the event. This time, Lynette finally noticed Jenny’s presence. In fact, Lynette’s mind was a mess after she heard the Walters being mentioned onstage. She immediately knew Jenny’s identity from their close resemblance. She turned to the ruby pendant being auctioned on the stage, and her face soured.
The ruby pendant was something she left behind for Jenny before her family dragged her away. She was surprised to see the ruby pendant again and at an auction event at that.
