Chapter 1182 She Should Call Me Stepdad

At the event hall, Jenny engaged Eric in a talk. Anyone watching would think they were

serious about the business partnership, but Eric knew all too well that Jenny was buying

time. He downed the red wine in his glass and gave her an emotionless look. "Was that

enough time?"

"What?n She appeared puzzled.

"You were buying time. Was that enough?" He chuckled as his gaze wandered to the

restroom. Lynette seemed to have walked in that direction.

Jenny smiled at his cleverness. "Mr. Dafoe, it seems you care a lot about my mother."

He snickered and looked at her sharply. "Of course. She's my wife."

"Your wife?" She smirked. "But I heard that you're mistreating her."

"So what? Do you think you and your useless father stand a chance to leave with her just

because I'm mistreating her?" His tone was full of mockery, and he looked disdainful upon

mentioning Graham.

Jenny's expression contorted. She had not come across someone as impudent as Eric in a

long time. Still, she was understanding of his lack of manners. He was the king of Bayside

City who had no regard for anyone else. Suppressing her rage, she asked, "Who knows?

What if we do?"

"I advise you to give up on that idea. It'd be a pity if you and your dad were to remain in

Bayside City forever," he suggested with a smile as though it wasn't a threat.

Jenny smirked, seemingly unbothered. "That's fine. I am attracted to danger."

"Huh. You're very different from Lyn.’ If Jenny didn't bear a striking resemblance to

Lynette, Eric would have doubted their mother-daughter relationship.

"Well, every person is different," she chirped. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed

Lynette entering the event hall again and assumed that

Graham was done talking to her. So, she excused herself, "Mr. Dafoe, we shall see what

happens.’

"Interesting. I can't wait for it." He saw Lynette as well and gestured at her to come over.

The light in Jenny's eyes dimmed as she left without a word.

At first, Lynette thought she had a chance to speak to Jenny, but she was disappointed to

see Jenny leaving just when she rejoined Eric.

"Your daughter is an amusing character." He pulled Lynette into his arms as he looked in

the direction where Jenny had left. He didn't sound too different, but his words sent a

shiver down her spine.

"What do you want to do? You’d better stay away from Jenny. I'll fight you if you dare!"

"What is in that dirty mind of yours? She should call me her stepdad. Why would I be

interested in her?" Eric was a playboy, but he had no interest in smart women like Jenny.

He'd much prefer dumb blondes.

Stepdad? The idea made Lynette sick. She explained, "I have no plans to reconnect with

her. And you're not her stepdad either."

"Oh? Don't you? She was confident she could leave with you, from what she told me." He

looked at the woman in his embrace, eyes crinkling in a smile.

His words caught her by surprise. Did Jenny say that to Eric? Did she have any idea how

dangerous it was?

Knowing Eric, Lynette felt anxious and added, "I am your wife now. Of course, I won't leave

with someone else." "Is that so? Good." He didn't interrogate further. He was smart

enough not to take someone at their word
