Chapter 1194 I Need to See Her
Pete was silent with a somber look on his face. Eric might think he was considering the task, but Pete was actually panicking. He wondered,” What’s wrong? Why did he suddenly involve me in the family affairs? Did he find out about something?”
“You have an army under you. Why do you want me to watch over her?” Pete put on an annoyed look, showing his displeasure about Lynette.
“You’re my son, and you will take over the family one day. It’s time to get you to work. This is a new challenge for you,” Eric explained. Truth be told, he didn’t trust Lynette with anyone other than his family. After some debate, he only had one choice-Pete.
Pete was silently smirking at his father’s excuse. He would have trusted Eric had he not known about his father’s bastard children. Too bad he was in the know. Therefore, he would not trust Eric’s promise of handing him control of the family.
Still, he didn’t call him out. “You knew that Jenny Walter is after Lynette. If you leave, they will make a move.”
“Do you think you can’t handle them?” Eric frowned, displeased.
“Of course not!” Pete hurriedly denied. ‘I’m only worried that you might blame me if we suffered massive losses.”
“Don’t worry about that. Regardless of how many men we lost, I wont blame you as long as you keep Lynette safe.” Eric wouldn’t have left Bayside City at this critical moment had it not been for the business affair.
Pete seemed relieved after hearing that. “Okay then. I’ll try my best.”
“No, you shouldn’t be trying your best. Give it your best!” Eric reminded him.
Pete said nothing, but he was silently mocking the madman that was his father.
Once Pete left Dafoe Mansion, he immediately called Jenny. “You’re in luck. Eric is leaving Bayside City tomorrow, and he wants me to keep an eye on Lynette. This must be the best chance for you.”
“What luck? He must have a reason for leaving Bayside City at this time.’ She smiled. She never believed in luck.
“Did you make him leave?” Pete guessed her plan right away. He was no fool. novelbin
She dodged the question and informed him, “The plan is scheduled for tomorrow. After confirming that Eric Dafoe has boarded the plane, we will show up and bring Lynette with us.”
“If you take her, what should I say to Eric?” Pete asked, feeling jittery.
“Don’t worry about that. You are still of use to me. I won’t give you up,” she assured him. “By the way, you can station some of Eric’s men at the mansion. If something bad happens, you can at least shift the blame onto someone else. Plus, I have set up an extra layer of protection for you.” She only shared the information to calm him down but didn’t go into details.
Pete could not stop worrying. However, he knew he had no way out ever since he decided to work with Jenny. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and pray that Jenny would keep her promise of not abandoning him.
After the call, Jenny dialed another number. “Has she arrived? Okay. Bring her to the villa. I need to see her.”
She wasn’t joking about the extra protection for Pete. If Pete were smart, he would soon realize that Eric wouldn’t hurt him-he would only marvel at the ingenuity of their plan.
