Chapter 1197 She's Probably in Shock

Jenny left with Lynette and her men.

Pete went up to the fake Lynette and asked, "What's your name?"

"Lynette Bell," the woman answered in a tone and mannerisms that resembled Lynette.

Pete thought that was a non-answer, but at least she was immersed in her role.

"Okay.Go to bed and rest.If Eric Dafoe comes home, try not to talk to him too much." He believed that sleeping was the best course of action.

The lookalike might fumble if she talked to Eric.

The woman agreed and lay down in bed.

After that, Pete exited the room and was greeted by the sight of other men.

They were not stationed at the mansion but rushed over after getting the news of the attack.

"Mr.Pete, what happened?" they asked.

"The Walters charged at us and killed many of our brothers.It's despicable!"

He gritted his teeth with acting that deserved an Oscar award.

"How merciless! We'll go after them!"

The men sprang into action but were stopped by Pete.

"It's fine.They have been gone for a while.I bet we can't even track them down.Just inform my father."

No one objected to his suggestion.

"So, is Mrs.Dafoe..."

"Tell my father not to worry.She's still here," Pete explained.

Someone immediately called Eric, while the others cleaned up the mansion.

They soon realized that the losses were not as huge as previously assumed.

Most of the men were alive but lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.

That kept the new group of men busy, sending their wounded brothers to the hospital.

In no time, Pete got a call from an enraged Eric, who barked, "What happened?"

"Just like you predicted, Jenny Walter made a move," Pete replied.

"What about Lynette?"

Eric’s priority was to keep his wife safe, and he couldn't care less about the casualties. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Smirking, Pete answered, "She's still in the mansion.She was taken by Jenny at first, but for some reason, she came back.I reckon she probably couldn't bear to part with our family wealth.She's not as virtuous as she seems, you know."

Pete still sounded as disdainful as before.However, the situation felt odd to Eric.

"Did you say she was taken earlier but came home by herself?"

"Yeah."

"Where is she? I need to see her."

Eric wouldn't believe Pete's words without seeing Lynette with his eyes.He always assumed that Lynette would never return once she had a chance to escape, but the situation turned out differently from what he expected.

Pete knocked on Lynette’s door and turned on the video call.

"Looks like she's asleep."

A blanket was draped over the woman, blocking the full view.

Still, one could tell she was "Lynette" from the angle.

Eric was much relieved upon seeing that.

"Why is she asleep?"

"She's probably in shock.It's a bloody mess out there."

While speaking, Pete quickly left the bedroom in case Eric spotted any irregularities.

One could tell that Eric was in a foul mood from his sour face.

"I'll send extra security.Keep her in the mansion."

"Roger that."

Then, he asked, "Do you plan to come home soon?"

Eric fell into silence.He did think about rushing home.

"You don't have to do that.I can hold down the fort.Jenny Walter has suffered major losses, so she won't attempt again any time soon."

Pete didn't want Eric to be home so soon, for the sooner Eric arrived at the mansion, the earlier he might find out about the fake Lynette.

Pete would prefer to keep his father away from home for a few days to buy time for Jenny's plan.
