Eustace’s expression turned serious.He didn’t intend to leave the situation alone.
“Send some people to the Zellwegers and let Danika coordinate them as she pleases.”
Although he wouldn’t interfere, Eustace wouldn’t stay completely uninvolved.He figured he could be helpful by providing her assistance.
Nodding, Vincent added, “Previously, you hired Julian and Isabelle.They have been here for a while now, and based on the feedback so far, they are doing well.”
“Good, keep an eye on them.If they show potential, invest more in their development,” Eustace said.
Danika’s proposal had helped him find a solution.
While he didn’t mind being a bit busier from time to time, he didn’t want to be busy forever.
Handing the company over to people he trusted would be the path he would have to take in the future.
After listening to Vincent’s report on recent company news and ensuring that there were no major issues, Eustace finally felt relieved.
Everything was returning to normal, and soon he wouldn’t be so busy every day.
Eustace and Danika received news that Eric had arrived in Bardoff City at the same time.
Hence, she didn’t go to the hospital in the afternoon for work but returned to Zellweger Castle.
Although she was confident in her plan, she knew she had to be cautious when facing a madman like Eric.
“Danika,”
Graham called as soon as she arrived.He pulled her aside and whispered, “You know that Eric has come to Bardoff City, right?”
“Yes, I’ve already received the news.”
She nodded, rather surprised by her father.
“Wow, you’re quite well-informed.”
“I’ve managed the Zellweger family for decades.Do you think I’m not capable of doing this?”
Graham rolled his eyes at her.
Although he had delegated most of the Zellweger family’s authority to Danika, he still had some people under him.
Danika paid his words no mind.
With a smile, she said, “Of course you are.I know you’ve got it covered, but you don’t have to worry about Eric.I’ve already made all the arrangements.If he dares to make a move, I guarantee he won’t leave unscathed.”
“Well, I know you have everything arranged.I was just asking, “Graham replied, not too worried about it.
While the two of them were talking, Lynette was sitting silently on the second floor.
Although she couldn’t tell what they were discussing, she figured that it was probably related to Eric.
Given the timeline, Eric was probably back from his business trip, and he might already be on his way to Bardoff City.
Although she knew how powerful the Zellwegers were and how capable Danika was, she couldn’t help feeling anxious as she hadn’t divorced Eric yet.
This is Our Territory
At night, the streets of Bardoff City were bustling with people.
Tender, green leaves sprouted from trees in the early spring, showing signs of new life.
Eric, who hurriedly arrived in Bardoff City, had no mood to appreciate the surroundings.
He went straight to his destination, contemplating how to take Lynette away from the Zellwegers.
Although he had brought a considerable number of people with him this time, he didn’t have much confidence in confronting the Zellwegers head-on.
After all, Bardoff City was not his territory.
Little did he know that he had been under surveillance ever since he stepped out of the airport.
Whatever he planned to do, he couldn’t escape the watchful eyes of Danika’s people.
For the next two days, the Zellwegers remained unusually quiet, waiting for Eric to make a move.
However, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace, showing no sign of activity.
Danika’s people kept an eye on Eric.
They saw him around and about every day, and if they didn’t know better, they would have thought he was just touring Bardoff City.
Failing to figure out what he was up to, Danika asked Eustace, “Do you think he’s afraid to make a move?”
“Don’t underestimate him.Eric isn’t acting like this because he’s afraid.He’s just waiting for the perfect opportunity,” Eustace replied.
He never underestimated anyone, especially not Eric.
Although they hadn’t had any interaction, based on the information he had gathered, Eustace knew that Eric was something else.
Danika actually understood this as well, but Eric’s inaction made her anxious.
“Then what do you think he’s doing?”
“Don’t worry too much.Perhaps he’s waiting for us to let our guard down,” Eustace said.
Danika thought about it and figured that he might be right.
Eric wasn’t a fool; he probably guessed that they were all waiting for him to make a move at this time.She leaned back on the sofa, feeling bored.
“I haven’t been to the hospital lately.I’ve just been waiting here for him to make a move, but he’s not doing anything.It’s so boring.”
“If you ask me, you should keep yourself busy.As long as everything is arranged here, he won’t dare to make a move while you’re around,” Eustace suggested.
He believed that Eric might be hesitant to act because Danika was always at Zellweger Castle.That made sense to Danika.
“You’re right.I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow.”
“Yeah, don’t worry.This is our territory.Eric won’t be able to take anyone away from here,”
Eustace reassured her.
Danika nodded in agreement and leaned on Eustace’s shoulder, feeling weary.She wished everything would be resolved quickly so that she could live a peaceful life.
The next day, Danika went to the hospital as usual.
However, Eric still didn’t make a move, leaving everyone anxious and unable to understand his intentions.
In the following days, Danika continued her work at the hospital.
If she didn’t see Lynette at home every time she returned and if she didn’t receive reminders that Eric was still in Bardoff City, she would have forgotten about his existence.
Eric didn’t wait forever.
While Danika was performing surgery, something finally happened at Zellweger Castle.
Unfortunately, Danika was in the middle of surgery and couldn’t be reached.
Even if she had been notified, she wouldn’t be able to leave the patient and rush back.
However, she had made all the arrangements, so she wasn’t too worried.
When she came out of the operating room and received a call from Graham, she quickly changed out of her surgical gown and rushed home.
The Zellwegers had suffered significant losses, and she finally understood what Eric had been up to.
Don’t Speak to Your Mom Like That
Fortunately, Eric didn’t succeed in taking anyone away.
Instead, he ended up getting shot and escaped in a sorry state.
When Danika arrived home, Graham was comforting Lynette.
Upon seeing Danika, he said, “Don’t worry, we’re all fine.”
“Yes, did Eric escape?” Danika asked, looking at Leonard, who was present as an official on the case.
His involvement meant that he could crack down on Eric’s crimes.
Leonard glanced at her and said, “I have already made arrangements.Eric is now wanted nationwide.”
Regardless of whether he had committed any previous crimes, breaking into a home with armed men was already a crime.
That alone was enough to ensure that Eric would be behind bars for a long time.
However, both Danika and Leonard were not that naive to believe that that alone would suffice, as the Dafoes were not as weak as they had imagined.
“I have some information here that I believe you can make use of,” Danika said, pulling out a thick stack of documents from her bag.
