Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 113

Isaac trusted Daniel completely and handed him the peach-shaped token without hesitation.

Daniel looked at the time and realized that he could finish treating Emma just in time to attend the Immortal Assembly.

"Looks like luck is on my side today," Daniel uttered with satisfaction as he drove toward Ashcroft Group.

Recently, Omari's people had been eerily quiet. Whether it was the Keaton family or the members of the Shadowspire Syndicate, they seemed to have completely disappeared as if everything were peaceful and calm.

But Daniel knew very well that the youth cream was the bait he had thrown out.

They might be lying low for now, waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise.

"Mr. Ashcroft, the company is almost ready. The only thing left is recruiting technical personnel, which will require your approval," Laila said, looking at Daniel.

She had witnessed everything Daniel had done recently.

As the things the Ashcroft family had once lost were reclaimed one by one, it meant that the Ashcroft family of old was back.

For the longtime employees of Ashcroft Group, this was undoubtedly great news.

Daniel waved his hand dismissively. "Have Mr. Fuentes handle it. It's best to leave professional matters to the professionals."

Technical personnel were the backbone of the company. It wasn't that Daniel didn't value them, but he wanted to use this opportunity to see if anyone suspicious would try to sneak in.

After all, one could only reel in a big catch when the waters were rough.

If Daniel could spot them all at a glance, where was the fun in that?

Laila nodded. "By the way, Mr. Ashcroft, if funding is tight, Riverston Group could—"

"No need. I'll figure it out." Daniel waved his hand again.

The youth cream's massive sales had already covered the costs. Although Charlene hadn't completed a detailed financial report yet, a rough estimate showed they had already made close to a hundred million.

And this was just the beginning.

A rare smile appeared on Jennifer's face. "Huh, guess this really works!"

She stepped forward and walked into the church. Since she already felt better, she decided to follow Daniel's advice and stay for a few more days. Maybe it could truly help rid her of the sinister energy plaguing her.

However, she didn't notice that as she entered the church, two young men behind her exchanged sharp glances.

"It's confirmed. She's definitely Daniel's wife!"

"It's time for Daniel to learn the price of offending the Shadowspire Syndicate. Capture her and use her to draw Daniel out!"

Unaware that she had been targeted, Jennifer approached the church's abbot.

After donating to the church generously, she was quickly assigned a private meditation room.

"This place is really empty!" Jennifer remarked as she looked around the simple, sparsely furnished room.

She had grown used to a life of luxury. If she had been asked to stay here before, she probably would have lost her mind.
