To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1194

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 won't 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.
