To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1196 I'll Take Care of Everything

"Is...is everything settled?" Pete sounded uncertain.

Jenny nodded and turned her attention to Lynette. "Let's go. There's no time to waste. I'm worried that Eric Dafoe has something else in store for us." "Right, right. Leave now!" Pete was equally concerned. "But what do I do if you leave me behind?"

He was the only one standing after everyone else was taken down by Jenny's forces. Not only that, Lynette was gone. Wouldn't he be in hot water? Jenny glanced at him and gestured at someone behind her. A woman showed up at the door, and Pete's jaw promptly fell to the floor. His gaze traveled between Lynette and the other woman. Even Lynette was similarly baffled.

"After we leave, this woman will remain here. From now on, she will be Lynette Bell. When the time comes, you can tell Eric that everyone was taken down, but you forced us to leave by pointing a gun at her head. As for how long you can go without Eric replaceing out about the fake Lynette, it's all your luck," Jenny explained. She had made all the necessary arrangements for Pete. She contacted the Glasses and got in touch with the woman who resembled Lynette. Before this, Rowena had attempted to force Graham and Jenny into submission using the woman, but they managed to see through the lie.

She brought the woman to Bayside City and taught her Lynette's mannerisms. Truthfully, if Eric didn't spend his time at the mansion daily, it'd be hard for him to spot the fake Lynette. Still, there was a chance he'd see through the setup instantly after his many years living with her. In the end, it all boiled down to luck.

Luck? Pete felt a shiver down his spine. "Do you take my father as a fool?"

"How about this? Tell him that we brought Lynette with us, but she decided to return. You believe she came home because she couldn't part with the luxurious life. That's why she refused to go with us. And tell him that you never thought she was a fake," Jenny cooked up an excuse for Pete.

He agreed that it was a better lie than the first one. "Okay then. You should go. Be prepared in Bardoff City. I bet he'll be after you in no time."

He didn't believe he could stall Eric for long with the fake Lynette.

"Okay." Jenny nodded. Even without Pete's reminder, she'd be fully prepared to take Eric on. She turned to Lynette and said defeatedly, "Let's go."

"Just like this? But I'm still legally married to Eric..." Everything felt unreal to Lynette, who thought leaving was futile because she would still be Eric's wife on paper.

Jenny understood her concern, but she didn't have time to explain. "Don't worry about that. I'll take care of everything. Just listen to me now and come with me."

Lynette stared at the daughter she hadn't seen since birth while struggling with complicated feelings. Jenny was a familiar stranger to her.

"Okay. I'll listen to you," she finally agreed, out of desperation to escape from Dafoe Mansion and her wish to live with Jenny. She had missed the early years of her daughter's life and wouldn't want to miss out on the remaining time she had with Jenny.
