Chapter 1174
Cooper paused in his flipping through the documents to consider Jerry's words. He understood what the man meant when he said the Pann family had to do the dirty work. “Beatrix's and Eurydice's mothers were very close. If the Gaudette family needed money, the Lowes were always willing to lend a hand. Eurydice is certain to exact revenge now that her cousin has been bullied.”
Jerry conceded, “This was all my fault. I shouldn't have underestimated Beatrix.”
When Beatrix bullied Charlotte back then, he had sent his men to teach the former a lesson, even being bold enough to claim responsibility for the situation.
The Gaudette family must have heard about the matter and held a grudge against him for it.
Jerry did not expect the situation at Jadeborough would change so drastically once Armand died. The Gaudette family immediately seized the opportunity to weaken the Zanes' and Loakes' political influence.
Furthermore, the Gaudette family attempted to implicate the Pann family as well.
In the past, Jerry would have ignored the situation since he did not want to become involved with politics. However, he could not turn a blind eye now that he was affiliated with Charlotte.
“Eurydice may appear to be an easygoing and demure woman, but she is far from simple.” Sally rested her arm along the back of her chair and continued, “With her father's high-ranking position, she must exercise extreme caution in all of her actions. She must have taught Beatrix how to manipulate the Pann family.”
Sally frequently joined her father at business dinners. As a result, when the Gaudette family attempted to make an alliance with the Loake family, she interacted with Eurydice several times.
Sally was a smart and observant woman. Hence, she was able to tell Eurydice's true colors after only a few conversations.
Cooper had also guessed that Eurydice would not handle the situation herself. He said to Jerry, “You need to explain things to Charlotte clearly and tell her to watch herself. Don't fall for the Gaudette family's tricks.”
Jerry replied with a bitter smile, “How am I supposed to explain?”
The Pann family acted against Jiminy because they did not know about Jerry and Charlotte's relationship. In fact, Jerry had never disclosed his family background to Charlotte either, leading her to believe he was only a small-time actor.
