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.

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 had moved into Dafoe Mansion after Eric left. He was busy strengthening
the security at home. Everything looked smooth and secure.
"Stop looking out. Jenny and Graham Walter had better not come. If they show up, I
promise not to let them leave alive," Pete provoked Lynette, who was on the second floor.
She went silent as she secretly worried about the doubled-up security at the mansion. She
knew this was the best chance for Jenny to make a move, but Eric might have foreseen
the plan. He wouldn't allow her to be rescued.
She thought, "Jenny, I'd rather you and your dad leave than put yourselves in danger."
Jenny and her men moved fast. When gunshots rang in the compound, Pete jumped up
from the couch and yelled, "Take them down! I'll watch over that woman!"
With that, he ran to the second floor and pointed a gun at Lynette's head.
The guards were worried that he'd take the opportunity to kill Lynette, but none had the
guts to speak up. Before Eric left, he had instructed them to take orders from Pete. When
they left the mansion to take on Jenny's men, he let go of Lynette and smirked. "You
should thank your lucky stars for that good daughter of yours. I'd really like to get rid of
you if not for her."
"Pete, what are you doing?" Lynette was no fool. She sensed that Pete was acting rather
unusually, and he didn't seem to be holding her hostage.
He glanced at her and chuckled. "What else can I do? I'm working with Jenny."
"You..." She stared at him, bewildered. Why would Eric Dafoe's son work with Jenny?

stood guard over her. He had no idea about Jenny's resources and wondered if they could
take down Dafoe Mansion security. At the end of the day, he would not step a foot outside
of the mansion for fear of getting injured. Whatever the outcome, it wouldn't affect him
much.
The gunshots didn't last for long. Truth be told, Eric had underestimated the capability of
the Walters and the Fausts. Although they were not from Bayside City, with their influence,
they could descend on the Dafoes with an army they assembled. The Dafoes would be no
match.
After the shooting ended, Jenny opened the door to Lynette's room. Pete was a little
surprised to see her
