Chapter 1185


    Chapter 1185 Be More Attentive


    In the end, Pete left the mansion in a storm of rage, and one wondered if he had taken Lte’s words


    to heart.


    Just as she let out a sigh of relief, Eric went up to the second floor and stood in front of her. Before she


    could speak to him, he grabbed her by the neck. “So, did you meet Graham Walter? Did he get intimate


    with you?”


    It turned out that Eric wasn’t as unbothered as he appeared on the surface. To him, Lte was his


    woman, and regardless of whether he actually loved her, no other man should touch her. He was silent


    on their way home because he was figuring out a way to teach her a lesson. What could be done to


    scare her into not seeing men behind his back?


    After racking his brains, he concluded that a beating was the most effective.


    “Let go of me!” Her attempts to push him away were futile. “Eric Dafoe, you’re a sick man!”


    “Yeah, this isn’t your first day knowing that about me, is it?” he was as calm as water, but he tightened


    his grip on her neck, and she instantly gasped for air. Then, she was dragged into the bedroom and


    thrown onto the bed.


    “Eric Dafoe, get out of my room!” Even after many years of marriage, they never shared the same


    bedroom.


    “Get out? You’re my wife. What’s wrong if I want to sleep with you?” While speaking, he pinned her


    underneath and ignored her struggles. He was dead set on taking her.


    She fought back against him but ended up being beaten before sumbing to his aggressive


    advances. Even though they never shared a room after many years, that was not the first time Eric had


    forced himself on her.

    Many times, she considered taking Eric with her to her death, but she had lingering affection for the


    world. To be exact, she couldn’t bring herself to part with Jenny and Graham for good. When she


    thought she couldn’t go on anymore, she’d think of her daughter and the man she loved the most.


    Whenever Eric assaulted her, she’d keep thoughts of Jenny and Graham in her mind. She could only


    tell herself that Eric was a tool for her. That was the only way she could live without the crushing


    humiliation.


    Meanwhile, back at Graham’s vi in Bayside City, he tossed and turned for the whole night, thinking of


    a way to bring Lte with them. Unfortunately, he didn’t make any progress on that.


    Jenny woke up in the morning to his dark eye circles. “Dad, did you not sleepst night?”


    “How could I when Nettie’s suffering?” he sighed, wishing fervently that he could bring her with him


    right away.


    Jenny went to the dining table and wolfed down her cereal. “Don’t worry. Eric Dafoe’s running a huge


    business. There must be some dirt on him. We need to dig up that dirt. As long as it poses a threat to


    the Dafoes, I believe he’d choose to protect his family name over keeping Lte.”


    A man like Eric would pick his family’s reputation over everything else.


    “Will that work?” Graham sounded concerned.


    “Yes.” Jenny was confident about the n. Now that they found Lte, everything else would


    eventually work out.


    He was visibly relieved when he witnessed her confidence. “I’m aging now and not as shrewd as you


    when ites to strategizing. You need to be more attentive to your mom’s case.”


    “Yeah. I got it,” she answered without much thought while finishing the cereal.


    Graham sat across from her with aplicated look on his face. “Jenny, have you never thought of


    Lte as your mom?” Every time Jenny referred to Lte by her first name, he would feel upset.
