Semua Bab To Be Yours Again: Bab 1171 - Bab 1180

Jenny tried not to keep her hopes high before heading to the address. If the mastermind was that kind, they wouldn't have stringed Mr. Ortiz along. She even prepared to fight any attackers at the place. Regardless of the motive, Jenny believed she'd at least get some information out of captives.With that in mind, she arrived at the address with her men in no time. They saw an ordinary house, and nothing looked off. She frowned and went to the front door. Mr. Ortiz hurriedly stopped her. "Miss Walter, I'll do that." He'd be putting Jenny in danger if someone awaited them behind the door.She wanted to turn down his protection, but Mr. Ortiz had opened the door and barged in. Feeling defeated, she followed closely behind.There was nothing wrong with the interior of the house. It was well-kept and looked lived-in. Just when they were scanning the environment with heightened alert, the door to a room suddenly flung open. The guards quickly formed a circle around Jenny and prepared t

Graham had no answer to Jenny's question. "I don't know, but I have a feeling that she isn't acting with malice."She could have jumped on all the opportunities to take his life when he was unconscious if she had bad intentions."That aside, may I know when exactly you plan to leave Bayside City?" Jenny started entertaining the idea of leaving Bayside City with Graham. After all, the city was too dangerous, and she agreed that Graham shouldn't hang around for too long.He fell silent. A long pause later, he insisted, "Jenny, I dont' want to leave just yet. I have a feeling that your mom's around. If I leave, I might never find her again.""I went to check with the Bells. She has left home for decades. Are you sure she's still in Bayside City?" Jenny countered. Graham was shocked to hear that Jenny had visited the Bells. "You went to meet them? What were you doing there?""They were prime suspects in your disappearance. Of course, I had to question them," she answered, confident

Knowing what Mr. Ortiz was thinking, she smiled and said, "We don't have clues now. If we attend dinners like this, we could at least get something. Go, Mr. Ortiz. Tell my dad everything I've said. He will go."She knew Graham would agree to anything as long as he could find Lynette.And she was right. After hearing the message conveyed by Mr. Ortiz, Graham agreed to the idea without hesitation. Mr. Ortiz was visibly worried, but all he could do was arrange for more bodyguards.When night descended on Bayside City, crowds were swelling in its grandest five-star luxury hotel. Those who attended the charity dinner were famous names in the city. They mingled around with wine glasses in their hands. Those who watched from the outside might mistakenly think of it as a meetup among close acquaintances.The dinner was about to start when Jenny and Graham showed up. They located their seats and sat down. Since they were at the event searching for clues, she kept a low profile and picked a

In a second, multiple thoughts rushed through Lynette's mind. Eric clearly spotted the change in her expression and cast a different look at Jenny.The auction started. Someone bid for the ruby pendant, but not for much. There was no reason to keep the pendant in the auction since Jenny had intended to look for Lynette with the pendant, but Lynette was right there in front of her. So, she decided to take back the ruby pendant by bidding for it."Five million." Jenny raised her auction paddle. The people around her understood her intention and let her have her way. They did not want to get on the wrong side of a Bardoff City family.Just when Jenny was expecting to retrieve the ruby pendant, Eric raised his auction paddle from the front row. "Ten million."There was a collective gasp because no one had expected Eric to express interest in the pendant. He spun around and looked at Jenny. "I'm sorry, Miss Walter. My wife loves the ruby pendant.""Is that so? That's an honor, but it's

Silence hung over them after Jenny's remark. It was so quiet that the only sounds heard were their breathing. Eric and Lynette 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 Lynette. Lynette wanted to say that was unnecessary, but she noticed the look in Jenny's eyes and guessed that her daughter had other plans. "You're right. I need to leave for a moment to calm down."She looked at Eric. He caught the back-and-forth between Lynette 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
