Jenny was ready to leave, but she was not leaving alone. Looking at Pete, she requested, "Now, please send me home."

"Are you asking me to send you home?" He furrowed his brows, displeased at her orders.

She smiled and added, "Eric Dafoe's men are watching me nearby. They will make a move once I walk out alone. I'm not scared of them, but I don't like wasting my time warding them off. I need to get home as soon as possible to check on my dad. Got it?"

Pete, who was initially confused, finally understood the situation. "Are you using me?"

"How can you say that? As partners, you should ensure my safety. Don't you think so?" She lifted a brow at him, feeling completely justified.

Pete was unhappy but had to follow her instructions. After all, the last thing he wanted was to see Jenny harmed. They left the lounge and got into his sports car.

Eric's men were caught by surprise. "That…that woman is with Mr. Pete. Do we still make a move?"

"Of course not, stupid! We'd be damned if we

    When they wrapped up the long kiss, Jenny playfully glared at him. "You're shameless!" Alec had pretended to be upset just so he could take advantage of her."I don't mind acting shamelessly in front of you." He held her and refused to let go.Suddenly, they jumped at the wry cough from the second floor. Jenny immediately broke free from Alec's arms. Graham descended from the stairs, acting as though he didn't witness the intimate act. "Jenny, you're home. Did you run into any trouble?""Dad, I'm fine. How about you? You're not in shock, are you?" She collected herself, putting the attack at the back of her mind. Graham joined them in the living room and sat across from them. "This is not my first time—I'm experienced. Why would I be in shock?""Sure, you're amazing," she jokingly complimented him. After that, she told him about the suggestion to work with Pete Dafoe, to which he responded with worry. "Will he agree to it? Eric is his father, after all. Any average man will not

    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 b

    After hearing Jenny's plan, Pete sank into a long and thoughtful silence. Feeling unsure, he asked her, "Are you confident he'd follow you to Bardoff City? He's not dumb. He sure knows the huge risk in going there.""He will come after me. A man as possessive and arrogant as him will do so." She was sure about it. Although she didn't interact much with Eric, she had met countless men just like him. Wasn't Paul Wagner one of them? Eric was even worse than Paul. Therefore, she was sure he'd come after them once they brought Lynette to Bardoff City. He would not stop until he captured her and brought her back to Bayside City.Surprisingly, Pete didn't refute it, for he knew Eric well, and his father was exactly like how Jenny described him."Even if he follows you to Bardoff City, are you confident in sending him to jail? Are you sure you have evidence against him?" As a Dafoe, he knew that his family was not the most law-abiding, but he didn't have any proof of the shady dealings. Plu

    Despite Alec's assurance, Jenny wasn't totally relieved. She'd rather be safe than sorry and didn't want to see anyone around her hurt.After a few days of peace, Eric had to leave Bayside City for a business trip. Jenny thought his absence would be a good opportunity for them. However, Eric was no fool. As Jenny and Graham were still in Bayside City, he knew they hadn't given up on rescuing Lynette. Therefore, he would be worried about leaving Lynette behind."Pack your stuff and join me on a business trip tomorrow," he informed her. The surprised look on her face quickly changed into confusion. "This is the first time in many years you have wanted me to join you on a business trip. Why?""I do what I want. Do I have to explain myself to you?" Eric had always been short-tempered with her through his words or actions. One couldn't tell his affection for Lynette judging from his behavior. But it was wrong to conclude that he didn't have feelings for her because he stubbornly refuse

    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 mov

    The next day, Eric left Bayside City in his private jet. Even after making the arrangements, he was plagued by anxiety. He had a hunch that something bad would happen."Sir, you look worried." His subordinate was concerned after noticing the frown on Eric's face. Eric collected himself and asked coolly, "Do you think Pete is any good?""Mr. Pete might look unreliable, but I think he deliberately puts on that front. He's still pretty capable," the subordinate answered."Is that so?" Eric stared out of the window. "Hope he doesn't disappoint me." He had a few children out of wedlock, but he had no plan to make any of them the family heir, at least for now. After all, Pete was his eldest son, and he also had a team of capable men. He didn't mind handing over the family responsibilities to Pete if the kid looked promising. However, he wouldn't waste time on Pete if he was hopeless. Eric had many sons, one of whom would prove to be smart and worthy of the position.Meanwhile, Pete h

    "Is…is everything settled?" Pete sounded uncertain. Jenny nodded and turned her attention to Lynette. "Let's go. There's no time to waste. I'm worried that Eric Dafoe has something else in store for us.""Right, right. Leave now!" Pete was equally concerned. "But what do I do if you leave me behind?"He was the only one standing after everyone else was taken down by Jenny's forces. Not only that, Lynette was gone. Wouldn't he be in hot water?Jenny glanced at him and gestured at someone behind her. A woman showed up at the door, and Pete's jaw promptly fell to the floor. His gaze traveled between Lynette and the other woman. Even Lynette was similarly baffled. "After we leave, this woman will remain here. From now on, she will be Lynette Bell. When the time comes, you can tell Eric that everyone was taken down, but you forced us to leave by pointing a gun at her head. As for how long you can go without Eric finding out about the fake Lynette, it's all your luck," Jenny explained

    Jenny left with Lynette and her men. Pete went up to the fake Lynette and asked, "What's your name?""Lynette Bell," the woman answered in a tone and mannerisms that resembled Lynette. Pete thought that was a non-answer, but at least she was immersed in her role. "Okay. Go to bed and rest. If Eric Dafoe comes home, try not to talk to him too much." He believed that sleeping was the best course of action. The lookalike might fumble if she talked to Eric. The woman agreed and lay down in bed. After that, Pete exited the room and was greeted by the sight of other men. They were not stationed at the mansion but rushed over after getting the news of the attack."Mr. Pete, what happened?" they asked."The Walters charged at us and killed many of our brothers. It's despicable!" He gritted his teeth with acting that deserved an Oscar award."How merciless! We'll go after them!" The men sprang into action but were stopped by Pete. "It's fine. They have been gone for a while. I bet we

    That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything

    In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras. For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more. Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt. The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her. After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily. One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations. After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing. Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wro

    That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv

    In the following days, Gilbert headed over to Faust Group infrequently during the day. To others, he was there to talk business with Alec. But in reality, it was a different scenario altogether. Vincent brought Gilbert a cup of coffee in Alec's office. Because of all the times he'd been there, Vincent knew what he wanted without having to ask. Alec had a cup of coffee placed before him, too. Everyone thought that Gilbert was trying to convince Alec to give him one of the shares, which was why he always came there, but that was not the case. The collaboration was a set-up. As long as the Bradshaws signed the deal on the project, they would not escape unscathed. Gilbert had planned this for a long time just to trick the Bradshaws into accepting the project. However, the scheme had to be executed perfectly. Since Gilbert buttered up the project in front of the Bradshaws, Alec had to feign disinterest in his collaboration. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if Alec, a smart ma

    After the engagement party, Gilbert officially had a stronghold in Bradshaw operations. Because he was already very capable, he had a lot of supporters. No one challenged him in the company. Most of them sucked up to him because they knew that if things went well, he would be the heir of the company.Gilbert didn't really care about that. He didn't even want to be there for long. He knocked on Esther's door and walked into her office."Come, sit." Esther was all smiles when she saw him. It was more sincere than before.She used to doubt him a lot, but now, although she still had her reservations, she mostly believed in him. In her eyes, no one would reject the chance to inherit Bradshaw Operations. This was basically manna from Heaven. Gilbert just didn't know it back then, and now he did. Gilbert sat down in front of Esther and began reporting the information he had gathered, as well as his thoughts on Bradshaw Operations and his plans for the future.When he presented the inf

    Gilbert and Lottie's engagement party was held at Bardoff Grand Hotel on Saturday.A ton of people showed up to their engagement party. After all, the Bradshaws and the Silveras were pretty big names in Bardoff City, and plenty of the other families knew of their true wealth. They all came to attend the party. Jenny and Alec had both received invites. Jenny was Gilbert's sister, and on top of that, they represented the Walters and the Fausts. It was to be expected. At first, Jenny didn't want to go. The party held no meaning to it. It was just a show put on for Esther. It would be a complete waste of her time. However, she was talked into it by Alec. It would be weird if she didn't go. Zack brought Janet to the party. He found Jenny and was in a daze. "Wasn't Gilbert courting Marigold? Why is he engaged to Lottie?" Jenny rolled her eyes. "What have you been doing, Zack? You're really bad at keeping up." Gilbert had been courting Lottie for a while now. If Zack paid attention

    Gilbert drove to Jenny's villa, but he was in no rush to get down. He didn't unlock the doors, either. He obviously wanted to talk to Marigold. But Marigold evidently didn't want to. "I want to take my child and leave." She was afraid. What if Gilbert and Lottie married and took her child away? She no longer believed in love. The only thing she believed in was her child. Gilbert tightened his grip when he heard that. "Marigold, the engagement is only for Esther to see. I have no feelings for Lottie." "Who knows? People change. You said you didn't have feelings for me, too." Marigold found this all very amusing. Perhaps this was fate. Gilbert wanted to keep explaining, but Marigold did not give him the chance to. "Just let me and Caleb leave. If what you say is true, you can come to find us once everything is over." And if Gilbert didn't come looking for her, the truth would unfold itself, and she would give up all hope. Gilbert understood that Marigold had already made

    Marigold was miserable throughout dinner, but she persevered till the end without being too dramatic. After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.Gilbert went to get the car. Lottie stood with Jenny and Marigold. Watching Gilbert leave, she turned toward Marigold. "I heard that you used to like Gilbert very much." "It's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning." Marigold didn't want to talk about it. She was afraid that Lottie would see that she still liked Gilbert. Most importantly, she was afraid that Gilbert's plan would be ruined. Lottie smiled. "That's true. The past is the past. You're such a nice person. You'll definitely be able to find someone better suited for you in the future." Marigold pursed her lips. Gilbert soon brought the car over. Lottie was about to get into the car, but before she did, she suddenly turned to Marigold and said, "Gilbert and my engagement party will be in a few days' time. If you have the time, you're more than welcom

    Everyone was shocked to hear her speak so suddenly. Lottie was stunned, and she explained, "You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if the child follows his father, it'll help him develop better, and you'll be less stressed." "I don't need your concern. I can raise my child alone," Marigold snorted. She did not hold back at all. Lottie looked unpleasant. Gilbert had no choice but to step in. "We'll have our own child together. And whoever likes it the most will get to keep it." Although they knew that Gilbert had meant this for Lottie to hear, Marigold found it extremely upsetting. She looked at Gilbert, and for a moment, she was unable to tell if he was being genuine. She thought of all that Gilbert had said to her last night, saying that he didn't like Lottie and had no intention of marrying her. But he looked to be truly in love. Marigold didn't think she could tell if he was faking it. "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom." Marigold didn't w
