Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 122

The door swung open.

"Apologies for the wait, Ms. Walsh!"

A middle-aged man stepped out, his face adorned with a warm, polite smile as he looked at her.

She immediately stood up. "Mr. Brown, is Mr. Grayson available?"

"He is!"

Mr. Brown nodded before gesturing for her to follow. "Come with me."

"Alright."

Jennifer trailed behind him, walking through two quiet corridors before Mr. Brown came to a stop.

"Mr. Grayson is inside. You may enter, Ms. Walsh."

She nodded, staring at the pristine white door in front of her.

Her last experience with spiritual intervention had been unsettling, to say the least.

But then, thoughts of Daniel's current state resurfaced in her mind.

Steeling herself, she pushed open the door.

Unlike the eerie atmosphere from before, this room was completely different.

It resembled a peaceful tea chamber.

At the center of the room, a bald old man sat cross-legged on a woven mat.

As soon as he saw her, he casually lifted a teapot.

"Ms. Walsh, I've heard so much about you. What brings you here?"

His voice was calm, but what happened next made Jennifer's eyes widen in astonishment.

With the slightest flick of his wrist, the stream of tea flowed as if guided by an invisible force, landing precisely in the teacup across him.

All without spilling a single drop.

"Mr. Grayson, I need your help. Perhaps only you can help me," she said quickly, stepping forward with urgency.

Jennifer had been suppressing her worries for too long.

And now, witnessing his abilities firsthand, she finally let everything out.

"My husband… I think his body has been taken over!"

A strange glint flashed through Robert's eyes.

"Hmm? And what makes you believe that?"

She detailed everything: Daniel's five years of idiocy, his sudden, inexplicable recovery, and how, ever since then, he had become an entirely different person.

Robert squinted, stroking his chin in feigned contemplation.

"An abrupt awakening after years of affliction? And a complete shift in personality afterward?"

His brow furrowed.

"If what you say is true, then your theory is highly plausible."

"Huh? But he won't come home with me anymore…" Jennifer frowned when she heard what she had to do.

Robert's tone was reassuring. "If you trust us, we can help you find an appropriate location. How about that?"

Jennifer thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Daniel may have changed, but he still cares about me. If I pretend to get drunk and get him to pick me up, he will come!"

The more she spoke, the more convinced she became.

Robert smiled approvingly.

"Excellent. We will cooperate fully with your plan, Ms. Walsh."

"I’ll go find a place now! Once everything is set, I’ll notify you right away!"

Without another word, she hurried out of the room, eager to put her plan into motion.

The moment she was gone, Mr. Brown stepped inside.

"What a fool," Robert sneered.

"But she's got quite the tempting body. I imagine she'll be delightful to the touch!

"When all of this is over, we'll be able to feast our eyes on it!"

Mr. Brown let out a knowing chuckle.

They had already marked Jennifer as their prey.
