Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 110

Jennifer looked utterly dejected.

Charlene glanced at Daniel, who was busy in the kitchen, then at Jennifer, who sat there looking lost. A deep fatigue settled over her.

After all, her relationship with him was even closer than Jennifer's, even though Jennifer was his legal wife.

"Jennifer, don't dwell on it. Some things just take time," Charlene said.

She knew exactly what Jennifer had done back then, but this was the only comfort she could offer.

Jennifer pressed her lips together and nodded.

Thanks to Charlene's presence, dinner went by smoothly.

"What are you doing?" Jennifer suddenly called out to Daniel.

He turned and shot her a cold look. "What's the problem?"

"Of course, there's a problem." Without waiting for a response, Jennifer grabbed Charlene's arm. "You're sleeping downstairs in the first-floor room. Charlene and I are sleeping together."

Then, she leveled a glare at him.

Daniel frowned but didn't argue. When he saw Charlene's eyes filled with a silent plea, he headed to the guest room.

"Come on." Jennifer smirked in satisfaction and pulled Charlene upstairs.

At that moment, Charlene finally understood why Daniel had been so resistant to Jennifer's presence. Still, maybe this was a chance for her to reassess her relationship with him. But the thought of his strong, solid frame sent heat rushing through her.

Late that night, Jennifer fell asleep, but the nether energy surrounding her dragged her into a nightmare.

The next morning, Daniel woke up to find Charlene gone. He got up, stepped out of the room, and spotted Jennifer trudging downstairs with dark circles under her eyes.

"Daniel! Are you seriously just going to stand by and do nothing?" Her voice was edged with desperation.

Every time she fell asleep, she was dragged into an endless nightmare. It felt like countless hands clawing at her, dragging her into the abyss and trying to tear her apart.

The worst part was that she was fully conscious throughout the ordeal. It was a living nightmare, and no hospital could diagnose or treat it.

"Ever heard the phrase 'you reap what you sow'?" Daniel sneered and stepped aside. "You'd better find a church, start praying, and hope for a little mercy. It might be your only chance."

Jennifer's face darkened.

"You think you can just get rid of me? Not a chance. Don't even think about it." With that, she huffed and stormed back upstairs.
