To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1180

Silence hung over them after Jenny's remark. It was so quiet that the only sounds heard were their breathing. Eric and Lynette were shocked at how casually Jenny dropped the information, which was different from what they had anticipated.

"Mrs. Dafoe, you look shocked. Do you need to take a breather in the bathroom?" Jenny stared at Lynette.

Lynette wanted to say that was unnecessary, but she noticed the look in Jenny's eyes and guessed that her daughter had other plans. "You're right. I need to leave for a moment to calm down."

She looked at Eric. He caught the back-and-forth between Lynette and Jenny but was not too bothered because he knew they could not do much in his territory.

"Go. Call me if you need anything," he said to her. She nodded with a wry smile and headed for the bathroom. When she was far away, Eric's expression changed. He wiped the fake smile off his face. "Miss Walter, what are you up to?"

"Mr. Dafoe, you're overthinking things. I really want to work with you. I think Bayside City is a decent place. If the Walters ever expands our business here, we'll still need your support," she assured him with a smile.

He glanced at her, not believing a single word out of the mouth of this shrewd young lady. Still, he couldn't be bothered to call her out because he would soon find out about her plan.

"Are you saying the Walters wants to expand in Bayside City? Why? Is Bardoff City too cramped for the Ten Elites?" he scoffed, sounding disdainful at the mention of the Ten Elites.

Jenny didn't mind his arrogance, knowing he was born into wealth. "That's right. Everyone's looking for better opportunities elsewhere. We're the same."
