Chapter 1192 What Are You Afraid Of?
After hearing Jenny's plan, Pete sank into a long and thoughtful silence. Feeling unsure, he
asked her, "Are you confident he'd follow you to Bardoff City? He's not dumb. He sure
knows the huge risk in going there."
"He will come after me. A man as possessive and arrogant as him will do so." She was sure
about it. Although she didn't interact much with Eric, she had met countless men just like
him. Wasn't Paul Wagner one of them? Eric was even worse than Paul. Therefore, she was
sure he'd come after them once they brought Lynette to Bardoff City. He would not stop
until he captured her and brought her back to Bayside City.
Surprisingly, Pete didn't refute it, for he knew Eric well, and his father was exactly like how

"Even if he follows you to Bardoff City, are you confident in sending him to jail? Are you
sure you have evidence against him?" As a Dafoe, he knew that his family was not the
most law-abiding, but he didn't have any proof of the shady dealings. Plus, he'd never act
in a way that hurt his family.
Reading his mind, she assured him, ’Don't worry. I have planned for all of that. Even if I
don't look into the Dafoes, I’m sure Eric himself has plenty of blood on his hands. What
you need to do is to help me with that."
"Is that all?" Pete was baffled—he thought Jenny would ask him to expose the Dafoes'
illegal activities.
She nodded. "Yes, that is all. Give me the list of those who died in his hands, and I will
think of a way to deal with it." i
They saw eye to eye, but he was still unsure. "Will that be fine?"
"Are you afraid?" She scoffed at him. "What are you afraid of? Are you worried that he'd
hurt you if you fail?"
He didn't argue because he was indeed scared. He might be rebellious in front of Eric, but
he had always feared his father.
"Don't worry. He won't lay a finger on you because you're his son. Just shift the blame to
me." Jenny was fearless because she was confident in herself.
Her attitude swayed him, and finally, he bit the bullet. "Okay! I'll go for it!"
He wouldn't die even if he failed, so why not give it a try? If he won, he wouldn't have to
live under Eric's thumb, a freedom he had been craving.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the call, Jenny started thinking hard about ways to smuggle Lynette from the Dafoe
Mansion and out of Bayside City. She needed to give it serious consideration because Eric
was a madman. If he found out about the plan, he'd rather go down in flames than watch
Lynette leave.
She was too deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice Alec entering.
"What are you thinking about?" He went up to her and asked patiently. She confessed her
worries to him, only to make him laugh. "Jenny, you underestimated the Fausts and the
Walters."
"Oh? How? Tell me." Even though she was the head of the Walter family, she didn't have a
full picture of their influence.
"The Dafoe family is king in Bayside City, but they're no match for us. Do anything you
want. Eric's not a threat to us, at least from what we can see,* he explained.
