Chapter 1186


    Chapter 1186 I Hope You Don’t Resent Her


    Jenny put aside her cutlery and stared at Graham defeatedly. “I had not seen her at all when I was a


    kid. Now, you want me to call her ’Mom’? I cant dothat.”


    “I know, and I hope you won’t resent her. It’s all my fault that she had to leave.” Things wouldn’t have


    ended this way if he were capable enough to keep Lte by her side.


    Jenny didn’t seem to mind as she brushed it off. “Both of you shouldn’t feel guilty at all. I was living a


    good life at Orchid Vige. And you hired all those teachers to give me lessons. You yed a role in


    shaping my sess today.”


    Although Graham had never once visited her at the vige, she found the teachers he hired very


    helpful and meaningful.


    “It’s my duty.” He wallowed in regret, even though it was toote. The conversation ended there.


    Jenny quickly changed the topic. “You’d better not go out in the next few days. Eric Dafoe would


    probably send his men. We’ve strengthened the security here at the vi. You’ll be safe if you stay


    inside.”


    “Okay. I got it.” He nodded. “But what about you? You’re in danger too.”


    Lte had never wanted to be with Eric. Jenny showing up would only strengthen her resolve to


    leave, and under those circumstances, Eric would likely get Jenny out of the way.


    “Don’t worry about that. I have security.” Moreover, she was skilled inbat herself. To top it off, she


    had invited Melissa to Bayside City to stand guard over her in secret. Jenny could stay safe from Eric’s


    men if Melissa is with her.


    Graham said nothing more and granted Jenny a peaceful breakfast. After that, she left the vi to look


    into the properties under Eric Dafoe’s name to investigate any illegal activities. She thought, “He rules


    over Bayside City, but so what? He’s not above thew.”


    To her surprise, she was greeted by a ck sportscar when she arrived at one of Eric’s properties. A


    young man hopped out and glided over effortlessly with a smile. “Hey there, lovely. Care to have a


    drink with me?”


    “Sure.” She nodded.


    “How does coffee sound?” the man inquired, inviting her into his car. She agreed with a smile and


    entered.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Pete Dafoe was overjoyed. He had thought highly of Jenny, but it seemed that she was ready to submit


    to him. The Walters? They were nothing but a fake Bardoff City elite that amounted to nothing.


    Jenny would’veughed hysterically if she knew what was on his mind. The Bayside City residents


    were narrow-minded, perceiving their city as the whole world and thinking they were invincible just


    because they were wealthy. Howughable!


    The sports car was parked in front of a high-end cafe. Jenny and Pete entered the cafe, and he


    selected the most expensive private lounge, perhaps to show off. After they took their seats, he asked,


    “Oh, I haven’t asked for your name.”


    “Oh, didn’t you know? I thought you were prepared.” She nced at him with a smile, resting her chin


    on one hand. Her gaze was full of ridicule, as though she was staring at a clown.


    His face contorted, but he remainedposed. “What do you mean?” “Mr. Dafoe, you’re no fun.” She


    smiled and sipped on the coffee that the waiter brought her. She examined his changing expressions,


    finding them amusing.
