Chapter 1168 How Ridiculous!
After that, Jenny headed straight toward the villa, marching as though she was on her way
to a battle. Mr. Ortiz hurried after her. The last thing he wanted to see was Jenny getting
herself in trouble after what had happened to Graham.
She knocked on the door. A pair of servants, one old and one young, answered the door
fairly soon, and both frowned at the visitors. "Who are you? And what are you here for?'
It was common knowledge among the residents of Bayside City that this area was the
territory of the Bells. No one would stir trouble there because that'd be courting death.
Jenny and Mr. Ortiz didn't look like locals to the servants.
"I'm here to meet the head of the Bell family," Jenny announced.
The young man frowned and smirked. "Who do you think you are? How dare you demand
to meet the head? You..."
"I am the daughter of Lynette Bell. Pass the message to him. Let's see if he will meet me

her current life.
The man’s expression crumbled upon hearing Lynette's name. Her name was like a
banned word in the family, and no one was allowed to mention or gossip about her. For
decades, Lynette Bell's name had disappeared from the family's collective consciousness.
The young man was shocked to hear it mentioned again and from the mouth of Lynette's
daughter at that.
He dared not make a decision, so he told Jenny that he would notify the family head
before vanishing from the door. She was in no rush, and she hung out at the door.
"Miss Walter, do you think they'll meet you?" Mr. Ortiz asked anxiously.
She glanced at the door and said nonchalantly, "They probably will. Aren't they curious
about me after all the years?"
Indeed, the Bells were curious about Lynette's daughter. They weren't expecting her to be
alive. After all, they received news from Bardoff City years ago that the girl was dead. Not
only was the daughter alive, she even traveled all the way to their residence. Was she
here to demand justice for her mother? But Lynette was no longer with the Bells. So, what
did she want from them?
"Sir, would...would you like to meet with her?" the servant inquired. A moment of silence
later, Barry Bell cast a questioning look at his wife, who was seated beside him, as though
he wanted her opinion.
Georgina Simpson was silent for a while but finally ordered, 'Let her in."
The servant immediately left. Barry turned to Georgina. "What do youthink is the reason
for her sudden visit?'
"Is there any reason other than asking about Lynette?" When she mentioned Lynette, she
did so without any hint of emotion, as if she was discussing a stranger. Barry behaved in
the same manner, only with more disgust at Lynette.
"No matter what's her reason, we have nothing to fear. She's a Walter, but so what? The
Bells don't fear them," Georgina declared. Barry nodded, thinking that she was right.

Soon, Jenny was brought into the main hall, where Barry and Georgina were seated. They
were her maternal grandparents, but she'd never acknowledge her relationship with them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Bell," Jenny addressed them in a polite but distant manner. The old couple
exchanged a look. Georgina was slightly shocked upon seeing Jenny's face, for the
granddaughter bore an uncanny resemblance to Lynette. For a moment, she thought she
was staring at a young Lynette.
Barry held the same opinion, but instead of being engrossed, he asked coldly, "What
brings you to the Bell family?"
"I'd like to ask you, Mr. Bell, about the whereabouts of my dad," Jenny explained her
purpose of visit without beating around the bush.
Hearing that, Barry and Georgina looked confused, but they soon snickered at her. "You're
here to ask about your dad? That's ridiculous!'
"Is it? I don't think so," Jenny replied as she fixed her eyes on Barry. 'My dad has recently
been looking for my mom, Lynette. Just when he's close to getting a clue, he vanishes all
of a sudden. Mr. Bell, what do you think? Who would have taken him?"
