Chapter 1191 You’re Pretty Ruthless
Pete chuckled after Lynette fled to her room. He never bothered to mask his distaste for her, a fact that he made known ever since she joined the family.
“What exactly are you up to?” Eric fixed his eyes on his son in an attempt to read him. Alas, he realized belatedly that Pete, the son whom he had neglected, had grown into an unreadable young man.
Pete sat on the couch and said casually, “What else can I do? I just want to make her suffer.”
“And you find that interesting?” Eric never bothered to explain the reason behind the divorce to Pete. He was too lazy to lay it out, even though everyone was clear about the reason. Instead, he sat back and watched as Pete released his anger on Lynette.
Pete chuckled again. “Of course. She’s very interesting.”
“Hah. Whatever.’ Eric couldn’t care less about what Pete had in store for Jenny. In his eyes, she was no different than a dead woman. However, he cautioned, “I need to warn you about Jenny Walter. She’s no average woman. You’d better be careful not to play into her hands.”
Pete scrunched up his eyes, thinking, “Well, who knows? You might be the one playing into her hands.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t lose my sanity over a woman, unlike you. He tore apart Eric’s hypocrisy without mercy and left the mansion. He made the visit to get the confirmation he needed, and he appeared to have arrived at an answer.
Soon, Jenny received a call from Pete. He agreed to work with her, and she was glad to hear that. Her plan was simple-the first step was to get Lynette out of the Dafoe Mansion, and to do so, she needed Pete’s help.
“Jenny Walter, you’re using me to save that woman, am I right? Will you really help me get rid of Eric if I get her out?” Pete was no fool. He learned Lynette was a bargaining chip, and she’d be equally effective under Eric’s captivity. However, if Jenny succeeded in leaving with Lynette, she could walk back on all her rosy promises, leaving him deep in regret.
She understood his concern and explained, ’They are legally married. Even if I bring Lynette with me, their marriage is still valid, and Eric can take her back anytime. You should know that is not my endgame.”
“Oh? Does that mean you have a plan to make Eric agree to a divorce?” Pete laughed, thinking that it was impossible.
“I don’t have a choice. But you know, we don’t always need his approval to divorce,” she suggested.
Pete was momentarily surprised, but he soon understood the meaning behind her words. Indeed, the death of one’s spouse would make it easier to get a divorce. If Lynette wanted a peaceful life, Eric would have to be removed from the equation forever, and his fate seemed to be sealed.
“You’re pretty ruthless,” he concluded.
She smiled and denied it, “Don’t read too much into it. I won’t use any illegal means. I plan to lure Eric to Bardoff City and throw him behind bars there.” She didn’t mind sharing her plan because Pete was in the same boat as her-he had no other choice.
Since Bayside City was the Dafoes’ territory, getting Eric jailed here would be impossible. But things would be different in Bardoff City, where the Walters had the upper hand and wouldn’t be affected by the actions of the Dafoes. Once she found incriminating evidence on Eric, she would send him to prison
