Chapter 1174
Graham had no answer to Jenny’s question. “I don’t know, but I have a feeling that she isn’t acting with
malice.”
She could have jumped on all the opportunities to take his life when he was unconscious if she had bad
intentions.
“That aside, may I know when exactly you n to leave Bayside City?” Jenny started entertaining the
idea of leaving Bayside City with Graham. After all, the city was too dangerous, and she agreed that
Graham shouldn’t hang around for too long.
He fell silent. A long pauseter, he insisted, “Jenny, I dont’ want to leave just yet. I have a feeling that
your mom’s around. If I leave, I might never find her again.’
“I went to check with the Bells. She has left home for decades. Are you sure she’s still in Bayside City?’
Jenny countered.
Graham was shocked to hear that Jenny had visited the Bells. “You went to meet them? What were
you doing there?”
“They were prime suspects in your disappearance. Of course, I had to question them,” she answered,
confident in her decision.
Looking defeated, he said, “Why would they tell you the truth if they were behind it? Have you ever
considered that something bad could have happened to you when you confronted them without
thinking?” The look of protest was written all over his face, and he was slightly enraged.
“Oh, don’t worry about it. I know the Bells are quite something in Bayside, but us Walters are not to be
messed with as well.’ She smiled. She confronted the Bells exactly because she was confident they
wouldn’ty a finger on her.
Graham sighed and let go of the matter because he knew Jenny was strong -willed. He asked, “Did
they tell you that your mom has left the family for decades?”
“Yeah. The Bells seemed to be very sensitive around the mention of Lte Bell. Sounds like she’s
been away for a long time.” Judging from their reaction, Jenny felt that the Bells were telling the truth.

Graham was silent. Where would Lte be if not with the Bells?
Jenny pressed on, “So, are you not going to leave, even if you know she’s not with the Bells?”
“Of course. Even if your mom is not with her family, she must be somewhere in the city. Why else
would assassinse after me?” The assassins must have been sent because someone wanted to
obstruct his search. It proved that he was going down the correct path.
In the face of his insistence, she knew she couldn’t change his mind. ’ Alright then. I’ll help you to look
for her.”
“But Bardoff City…”
“Don’t worry. Everything’s fine there,” she replied.
He didn’t say anything after that. He could use an extra pair of hands. Maybe the search would be
more effective with two.
Meanwhile, a Dafoe Mansion was located south of Bayside City. The city was full of mid and small-
sized families like the Bells, but the Dafoes were on another level-they were the kings. It was not an
exaggeration to describe the city as belonging to the Dafoe family. Anyone who wanted to make a living
in the city needed the approval of the Dafoes. Otherwise, their business would fail, or worse, they might
end up as bodies abandoned in deserted corners of the city.
The mansion was gorgeously and intricately designed in a courtyard style. Birds and blossoms filled
the courtyards, turning thepound into heaven on earth.
Lte Bell sat in her bedroom as she watched the view of the courtyard, but she wasn’t in the mood
to enjoy it. Clutching her phone, she constantly fixed her gaze on the screen until it lit up from a text
notification. “They picked him up.”
She let out a relieved sigh. Next, she took out the SIM card, crushed it in half, and threw it into the
toilet.
When she was done, she heard a knock on the bathroom door. “Lyn.”
Her adrenaline rushed as she forced herself to calm down. Shebed her hair in front of the mirror
and finally wandered out of the bathroom once she found no hint of panic in her.
