Chapter 1195 Hope He Doesn't Disappoint Me

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

    Finally, Eric was convinced to return after he was done with his business trip. Still worried, he wanted Pete to report to him daily about Lynette. Pete readily agreed to the request because it would be hard for Eric to spot the fake Lynette through phone calls.At the same time, Jenny and her entourage had boarded a private jet to Bardoff with a heavily disguised Lynette. There, she met Graham again. He had been staring eagerly at the entrance. When she showed up, he headed to her without hesitation. "Nettie.""Graham." She bit her lips as she felt a wave of emotions washing over her.Jenny glanced at them and interrupted at a rather bad timing, "Take your seats now. We're taking off soon. You'll have plenty of time to chat later." Lynette and Graham looked sheepish. They had forgotten about the existence of other people on the plane out of excitement.Everyone went to their seats. Lynette took her seat beside Graham. She watched the plane ascend into the clouds, leaving behind

    Jenny finally felt relieved when the plane touched down at Bardoff Airport. Although Alec reassured her throughout the trip, she still felt uneasy. It wasn't until they were physically in Bardoff City that her worries eased. Even if Eric showed up in Bardoff City, she had nothing to be scared of because he couldn't bring Lynette away.Graham and Lynette returned to Walter Castle, and Jenny followed them home. It had been some time since she last visited. She hadn't lived there for long, but it was home to her. The Walter family was home.There, the staff and bodyguards gathered. When Graham and Lynette arrived, the staff split into two lines and respectfully greeted them, "Mr. and Mrs. Walter."Graham was pleased with the welcome, but Lynette thought the title was unsuitable. "Graham, tell them I'll go by Madam Bell. I haven't divorced Eric, so I can't be Mrs. Walter."He pursed his lips, looking reluctant."Dad, Madam Bell is right," Jenny interjected. She agreed that it was not

    After Graham left the room, Lynette was about to take a shower when she remembered she hadn't brought any clothes—she had left in a hurry, after all. She sighed at the thought. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Graham pushed the door open and said, "By the way, Nettie, there are new clothes in the wardrobe that you can wear for now. We can buy you clothes you like later."After so many years, he no longer knew what kind of clothes Lynette liked, so he had someone prepare several different clothes for her to wear for the time being. But it didn't matter as they still had plenty of time in the future to figure out what she liked.After that, Graham left the room, leaving Lynette to explore her wardrobe full of new clothes and dresses. She was moved. This was the man she loved. Even after so many years, he was still as attentive and gentle as before.Lynette chose a set of pajamas, went to take a shower, and then lay on the bed. For the first time in many years, she enjo

    A loud slap echoed in the room. It threw Pete off his balance, and he fell to the ground.Eric was truly ruthless in his attack, so much so that Pete, a grown man, was left dizzy and disoriented."Pete! Where is she?" Eric was losing his mind. He stared intensely at Pete as if he wouldn't hesitate to kill him if his answer was unsatisfactory.Unfortunately, harsh threats didn't work well on Pete. Initially, he felt guilty about collaborating with Jenny against his father. However, the slap erased all feelings of guilt. He wondered if Eric truly regarded him as his son. Given the way he was acting, Pete was probably nothing more than a dog he raised. Hence, his feelings of guilt completely disappeared. "I genuinely don't understand what you're talking about."Despite the blood trickling from his mouth, he spoke sincerely, which made Eric suspicious."You don't know that the woman upstairs isn't Lynette?" Eric asked.Feigning shock, Pete answered, "How is that possible? She is obvi

    Eric watched his son's departing figure and, for some reason, felt that his son had become even more inscrutable since his return. However, he couldn't afford to dwell on such thoughts. Finding Lynette's whereabouts was the most important thing to him.In fact, he already had a hunch that they wouldn't be in Bayside City after rescuing Lynette. It was most likely that Jenny and the others had returned to Bardoff City. His guess was accurate. Pete quickly returned home after calling Jenny to confirm if he could tell Eric that Lynette was in Bardoff City.Upon hearing that, Eric wasn't surprised. "Prepare the people. We will go to Bardoff City in two hours.""Isn't that too risky, Father? Since Jenny dared to take her to Bardoff City, it means she is confident. I'm afraid that if we go there recklessly, we won't be able to take Lynette back," Pete said, expressing his concern.Eric, however, was unfazed. "Lynette is my wife. Would there be a problem with me taking my wife home? Eve

    "Has everything been arranged? Do you need my help?" Alec asked while eating the lunch Jenny had brought.Jenny shook her head. "There's no need for that. If I can't handle Eric in Bardoff City, then my family wouldn't be one of the Ten Elites.""Okay, alright. It's your call. Just remember, if you can't resolve it, let me know. I've got your back." He didn't make any decisions for Jenny without her consent because he knew she didn't like that.Jenny nodded, but she didn't dwell on the topic. After having lunch with Alec in his office, she didn't linger any longer and left the company, knowing that he would get busy again.When Vincent came in shortly after Jenny left, he could still see the smile lingering on Alec's face. "Mr. Faust," he said, "I received news that Eric is on a flight to Bardoff City."Alec's expression turned serious. He didn't intend to leave the situation alone. "Send some people to the Walters and let Jenny coordinate them as she pleases." Although he wouldn'

    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
