To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1188 Is My Proposal Attractive?

Pete gathered himself with a shocked look on his face. "Aren't you going home? Are you not worried that your dad is dying?"

"Don't worry. He won't die." She sounded confident because she had made the security arrangements according to her investigation into the Dafoes' dispatchable security.

As long as Eric Dafoe did not send his full force, the villa would be safe. And she was confident that Eric wouldn't do so, because he wanted to get rid of Graham with his own hands. "So, Mr. Dafoe, is my proposal attractive?" She was more interested in Pete's reply.

He looked at her with a seriousness that replaced his flippant attitude from earlier. "Why would I listen to you and go up against my father? I'll be taking over the family sooner or later."

"Oh. Are you sure?" Jenny flashed him a knowing smile and furnished him with a few photos from her bag. "Your father bore a few children with his mistresses. Every one of them is more capable than you. You're still the eldest son and heir of the Dafoes only because your maternal grandfather is still around. Your father dare not cross a line because their family is pretty influential. Guess what Eric Dafoe will do once your grandfather is no longer around?" She casually stated the truth without any provocation.

Pete stared at the photo in front of him. It was a photo of Eric having a meal with a woman and a young man around his age. The other photos were in the same vein, only with different women and children of varying ages. He didn't question the children's identity at all because they all bore a resemblance to Eric.

As he flipped through the photos, his expression started to crumble. "You dug pretty deep." This was information that he had never come across, proving that Eric was meticulous in hiding his secrets. "That's for sure. How would I have the guts to show up in front of your father without any solid proof?" She smiled. If she was incapable of getting her hands on simple evidence like the one she showed him, their meeting today would have been meaningless.

He shifted his glance from the photos to the woman seated across from him. "Since you have dug deep into his life, you should also know that I don't have a say in family affairs."

Eric had consolidated the power in his hands, and Pete was nothing but a jobless bum. It was almost impossible for him to win control of the Dafoes from his father.

"Don't worry about it. You're still the eldest son and heir of the family, at least to the public. If something happens to Eric Dafoe, you'll be next in power."

She smiled at him with a devilish look in her eyes, sending a shiver down his spine. He couldn't believe the words that came out of her mouth as fear crept up in him. "W-what do you plan to do? Are you seriously going to take him out? You better forget about it because it's impossible!"

"Calm down. That's not the only method. As long as you're willing to cooperate, just leave the strategizing to me. You will execute the plan. How does that sound? Do you want to bet on this?" Jenny had a plan in mind, but she needed someone to work with, and Pete would be her best candidate.

He appeared hesitant, not knowing if he should trust Jenny. If they worked together and the plan failed miserably, he'd suffer a horrific death.

She knew he was undecided, but she wasn't in a hurry. "If so, take your time to consider my proposal. I need to return to the villa and take a look."

"Okay." He nodded. Indeed, he needed time to think long and hard about her suggestion.
