Chapter 1179


    Eric shot a nce at her and smiled. “Miss Walter, you are being humble. Everyone here knows that


    the Walters is one of the Ten Elites in Bardoff City.”


    The guests were speechless. Right, the Dafoes and the Walters were influential families everyone had


    to defer to.


    “If that’s the case, I wonder if you’re interested in a partnership?” she inquired.


    Eric was astonished at herments because he could not figure out what she was up to.


    “I’ll discuss further with you after the auction.” Since the auction was ongoing, she didn’t want to


    discuss more under the watchful gazes of the others.


    The conversation ended there, and the auction took off again. Still, Jenny and Eric were not in the


    mood to watch anymore.


    Eric whispered in Lte’s ear, “Your daughter is way more clever than you. ” Lte did not say a


    word. He added, “What do you think the father and daughter are up to? Are they here to bring you with


    them?” Upon closer look, the smile on his face appeared murderous.


    She bit her lip and denied it, “You’re thinking too much. I’m now your wife. Why would I leave with


    them?”


    “Is that so? Good.” He chuckled and said no more. No one could tell if he was convinced by Lte’s


    words.

    At the same time, Lte was dumbfounded by Jenny’s move. She wondered, “Jenny, what exactly


    are you doing? Didn’t I ask you to leave with your dad? How could you engage in his shenanigans?”


    After Jenny took her seat, Graham frowned. “Jenny, what are you…”


    “Dad, it’s fine. Everyone knows what’s going on, and there’s no need to beat around the bush with Eric


    Dafoe. Even if you im you’re not here to look for Lte, he wouldn’t believe you.” Jenny was


    unconcerned. Eric would make a move anyway, so all they needed to do was to prepare for the


    imminent attack.


    Graham nodded. After learning that Lte wasn’t having a good time with Eric, he badly wanted to


    leave Bayside City with her. Therefore, he offered Jenny his full support. His only concern was for


    Jenny’s safety.


    The auction came to a close, and thus began the boring dinner event. Between the ss clinking and


    small talk, Jenny located Eric and prepared to approach him with a ss of champagne.


    “Jenny, you…” Graham was concerned. ’Why don’t I go to him instead?”


    “Oh, forget about it. You’re his love rival. I’m scared that he’d only end up fighting you.”


    If the two grown men were embroiled in a fight, they’d only humiliate themselves. Plus, Jenny knew that


    Graham was no match for Eric in a physical battle.


    Graham did not refute. After learning that Eric wasn’t treating Lte right, he knew that he would be


    easily incensed upon seeing the man.


    Jenny told him not to worry and instructed him, “I’ll buy time by talking to Eric. You’ll take the


    opportunity to find Lte and rify the situation, especially asking her if she’s willing to leave with


    us.”


    “Yes. Got it.” He nodded.


    Then, Jenny left him and marched in Eric’s direction.


    “Mr. Dafoe!” She looked at him with a smile. Eric was standing with Lte beside him. ’Let’s continue


    our conversation from before. I’m very


    interested in a partnership with the Dafoes.”


    He snickered and raised an eyebrow at her. “Miss Walter, are you joking with me now?”


    “Of course not! I never joke around.” But she had no idea if the “partnership ” would evere to


    fruition. Eric scrutinized her, his eyes traveling between her and Lte. “Miss Walter, you resemble


    my wife.”


    Jenny chuckled and winked at him. “Well, that’s for sure. Mrs. Dafoe is my mother, after all.’
