Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 33

Jennifer looked at Daniel with a complex gaze, her voice trembling slightly. "Y-You… have recovered?"

Daniel let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of disgust as he looked at Jennifer.

Even after he cultivated and improved his character for five years, the thought of what Jennifer had done to him stirred a surge of hostility in his heart.

Sensing the coldness in Daniel's eyes, Jennifer instinctively stepped back. Then, she turned to Charlene. "Charlene, what did you do to Daniel?"

A flicker of panic flashed across Charlene's eyes.

She hadn't expected things to become like this. But faced with Jennifer's questioning, she steeled herself and said, "I didn't do anything. It was just a fortunate coincidence that Daniel recovered. Jennifer, I was only worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it all at once, so I kept it from you."

Charlene grabbed Jennifer's arm, her gaze pleading as she looked at Daniel.

Because of what Jennifer had done to Daniel, Charlene was begging him not to act impulsively.

Given Daniel's current abilities, even someone as big and strong as Amarok couldn't withstand a single slap from him, let alone the frail Jennifer.

"No! This cannot be!" Jennifer shook her head frantically. Madness filled her eyes as she stared at Daniel.

It was clear that this situation was too much for her to accept. She shoved Charlene aside and ran out.

Caught off guard, Charlene stumbled.

Daniel stepped in and steadied her, preventing her from falling.

"That crazy woman!" Daniel watched Jennifer's fleeing figure coldly.

Charlene bit her lip. "Daniel, Jennifer isn't inherently bad!"

Meanwhile, Jennifer couldn't stop replaying Daniel's cold gaze in her mind. He looked at her as if he wanted to devour her whole, which reminded her of how she had treated him over the years.

"No! This can't be real!" Jennifer clutched her hair and let out a nearly deranged scream. She was trying to vent her inner fear this way.

"Jennifer, what's with you now?" Solomon's disgusted voice rang out.

Jennifer leaned against the doorframe, looking at the various kinds of people in the room. A mocking smile appeared on her face.

Once, she and Daniel were considered the perfect couple. The Walsh family had strongly encouraged her to marry Daniel, even though he was already a simpleton at the time.

But after the Ashcroft family's sudden downfall, the Walsh family also developed ambitions they shouldn't have had.

Jennifer had gone along with everything, only to be labeled an ungrateful traitor.
