    Chapter 1195 Hope He Doesn’t Disappoint Me


    The next day, Eric left Bayside City in his private jet. Even after making the arrangements, he was


    gued by anxiety. He had a hunch that something bad would happen.


    “Sir, you look worried.” His subordinate was concerned after noticing the frown on Eric’s face.


    Eric collected himself and asked coolly, “Do you think Pete is any good?”

    “Mr. Pete might look unreliable, but I think he deliberately puts on that front. He’s still pretty capable,”


    the subordinate answered.


    “Is that so?” Eric stared out of the window. “Hope he doesn’t disappoint me. ” He had a few children out


    of wedlock, but he had no n to make any of them the family heir, at least for now.


    After all, Pete was his eldest son, and he also had a team of capable men. He didn’t mind handing over


    the family responsibilities to Pete if the kid looked promising. However, he wouldn’t waste time on Pete


    if he was hopeless. Eric had many sons, one of whom would prove to be smart and worthy of the


    position.


    Meanwhile, Pete had moved into Dafoe Mansion after Eric left. He was busy strengthening the security


    at home. Everything looked smooth and secure.


    “Stop looking out. Jenny and Graham Walter had better note. If they show up, I promise not to let


    them leave alive,” Pete provoked Lte, who was on the second floor.


    She went silent as she secretly worried about the doubled-up security at the mansion. She knew this


    was the best chance for Jenny to make a move, but Eric might have foreseen the n. He wouldn’t


    allow her to be rescued.


    She thought, “Jenny, I’d rather you and your dad leave than put yourselves in danger.”


    Jenny and her men moved fast. When gunshots rang in thepound, Pete jumped up from the couch


    and yelled, “Take them down! I’ll watch over that woman!”


    With that, he ran to the second floor and pointed a gun at Lte’s head.


    The guards were worried that he’d take the opportunity to kill Lte, but none had the guts to speak


    up. Before Eric left, he had instructed them to take orders from Pete. When they left the mansion to


    take on Jenny’s men, he let go of Lte and smirked. “You should thank your lucky stars for that good


    daughter of yours. I’d really like to get rid of you if not for her.”


    “Pete, what are you doing?” Lte was no fool. She sensed that Pete was acting rather unusually,


    and he didn’t seem to be holding her hostage.


    He nced at her and chuckled. “What else can I do? I’m working with Jenny.”


    “You…” She stared at him, bewildered. Why would Eric Dafoe’s son work with Jenny?


    However, Pete didn’t bother to exin himself. He shoved Lte into her bedroom and stood guard


    over her. He had no idea about Jenny’s resources and wondered if they could take down Dafoe


    Mansion security. At the end of the day, he would not step a foot outside of the mansion for fear of


    getting injured. Whatever the oue, it wouldn’t affect him much.


    The gunshots didn’tst for long. Truth be told, Eric had underestimated the capability of the Walters


    and the Fausts. Although they were not from Bayside City, with their influence, they could descend on


    the Dafoes with an army they assembled. The Dafoes would be no match.


    After the shooting ended, Jenny opened the door to Lte’s room. Pete was a little surprised to see


    her
