Chapter 1169
“Is Graham Walter looking for Lynette? But why? It’s been many years, and he should have put the past behind him,” Barry thought. Barry and Georgina had many questions in their head, but instead of saying them out loud, they treated Jenny coldly. “Are you suspecting us of taking your dad?”
“I can’t think of anyone else who’d do that aside from the Bell family. That’s why I came here to clear things up,” Jenny explained, her eyes remained fixed on the couple. She observed the look in their eyes and was puzzled by their shocked faces when they heard that Graham was searching for Lynette. Did they not know about Graham’s disappearance at all? Who would be the mastermind behind the disappearance if not them?
“Hmph! That’s ridiculous.’ Barry scoffed, looking displeased. “Graham Walter thinks too highly of himself. We’d never waste time on him. And you -who do you think you are? Why should we prove ourselves to you?”
Her expression fell. The rumors appeared to be true-the Bell family was the elite in Bayside City.
“Mr. Bell, you overestimated us. My dad and I are running this small business. Of course, we are no match for the Bells.” Jenny refused to back down. Even though the Bells were not as influential as the Walters, they had their pride and standing. Bayside City was their territory, and the Walters had to defer to them in the area.
Barry understood the underlying meaning of her words and scoffed, “The Walters is one of the Ten Elites, but us Bells are not scared of them at all.”
“Are you sure?” She gave him a hawkish stare. “What if my family works with the Fausts? Would you still be as fearless?”
Barry, who never lived in Bardoff City, was still privy to developments in Bardoff City. The Fausts had a new family head, which was rumored to be a young man. Was Jenny associated with him?
Jenny flashed him a soft smile with a hint of glee. “The head of the Faust family, Alec Faust, is now my boyfriend. I think he wouldn’t turn me down if I asked him to work with me against the Bells.”
Barry’s expression changed upon hearing that. He did not fear the Walters, but the Walters working with the Fausts would be a problem…
“If that is not enough to make you fear us, how about throwing in the Windsors? James Windsor is my senior. I bet he wouldn’t say no,” she added. She did not believe that the Bell Family had the capability to take on the attacks from three Bardoff Elites.
Barry knew that as well. After going through multiple changes in his expression, he faltered and appeared upset. “What do you really want?’
“I want nothing from you except for the whereabouts of my dad.” This time, she sounded stern. At first, she started with room for negotiation, but now, she was threatening him.
Barry frowned but didn’t let his anger get the better of him. “I don’t know. Lynette has left the family for decades. Even if he wants to look for her, this is not the right place to start.”
“She left the Bells?” Jenny frowned. She had no idea about that information.
“Yes. After we brought her home, she refused to follow our arrangements. So, she left us,” Barry explained with a lackadaisical attitude.
Jenny doubted his account-if the Bell Family went as far as to bring her home, why would they allow her to leave that easily?
Full of questions, she decided to focus on Graham’s safety for the time being. “Do you really have nothing to do with my dad’s disappearance?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
