Chapter 1180


    Silence hung over them after Jenny’s remark. It was so quiet that the only sounds heard were their


    breathing. Eric and Lte were shocked at how casually Jenny dropped the information, which was


    different from what they had anticipated.


    “Mrs. Dafoe, you look shocked. Do you need to take a breather in the bathroom?” Jenny stared at


    Lte.


    Lte wanted to say that was unnecessary, but she noticed the look in Jenny’s eyes and guessed


    that her daughter had other ns. “You’re right. I need to leave for a moment to calm down.”


    She looked at Eric. He caught the back-and-forth between Lte and Jenny but was not too bothered


    because he knew they could not do much in his territory.


    “Go. Call me if you need anything,’ he said to her. She nodded with a wry smile and headed for the


    bathroom. When she was far away, Eric’s expression changed. He wiped the fake smile off his face.


    “Miss Walter, what are you up to?”


    “Mr. Dafoe, you’re overthinking things. I really want to work with you. I think Bayside City is a decent


    ce. If the Walters ever expands our business here, we’ll still need your support,” she assured him


    with a smile.


    He nced at her, not believing a single word out of the mouth of this shrewd youngdy. Still, he


    couldn’t be bothered to call her out because he would soon find out about her n.


    “Are you saying the Walters wants to expand in Bayside City? Why? Is Bardoff City too cramped for the


    Ten Elites?” he scoffed, sounding disdainful at the mention of the Ten Elites.


    Jenny didn’t mind his arrogance, knowing he was born into wealth. “That’s right. Everyone’s looking for


    better opportunities elsewhere. We’re the same.”


    “Hah! And what’s your n for the partnership?” he asked. Next, Jenny started bluffing him. She was


    not a business expert, but she learned a few tricks after spending time with Alec.


    Meanwhile, Lte was trying to calm down in the bathroom. She started thinking about the reason


    Jenny wanted her toe there. Someone entered the bathroom, interrupting her thoughts. When she


    turned around, she immediately understood Jenny’s intention.


    “Nettie.” Graham’s eyes were brimming with tears as he stared at the woman in front of him in a daze.


    He had never thought that he could see her again in this life.


    Her first reaction upon seeing him was panic. “Why are you here? Leave right now!” She was scared


    that Eric’s men would spot them together. If Eric learned about their short encounter, given his


    character, he would never spare Graham.


    “Nettie, how have you been doing over the years?” Graham ignored her words and pressed on.


    Tears filled her eyes when she felt his care for her. “I’m pretty good. How about you?”


    “I-I’m not,” he confessed to her. “Life hasn’t been good ever since you left.”


    “How is that so? I heard you got married and had a daughter.” Lte smiled bitterly. She picked up the


    details from Eric, who would spite her with Graham’s life updates during their arguments to force her


    into giving up on him.


    Graham felt a little sorry for Lte when she mentioned his second marriage. “I’m sorry, Nettie. I


    was…”


    “You don’t have to exin to me. I’ve been married for years now. We have our lives. You shouldn’t


    come looking for me anymore.” She refused to listen to him. No matter the reason behind his second


    marriage, it wouldn’t change the fact that he was a married man.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
