Chapter 89 He Was Right

After scolding Daniel, Isabella left with Chris. Seeing Daniel get a dressing–down made Jennifer gleeful.

“Jerk, did you think everyone’s as gullible as Jessica? That beauty didn’t fall for your nonsense. If I heard correctly, she even wants to send you to a mental asylum! I don’t know who that woman is, but judging by her attire, she’s no ordinary person. So, if she complains to Jessica about what you did, even if Jessica doesn’t send you to an asylum, she’ll surely fire you on the spot! Then, you’ll fall right into my hands, to be

controlled as I please.”

Jennifer was elated at the thought. If all this came true, she would torment Daniel endlessly, making him

regret ever crossing her.

Daniel, uninterested in responding, just walked away.

“Hey, stop right there! Are you trying to weasel out of our bet because you’re losing?” Jennifer shouted

after him, but Daniel didn’t look back and kept walking.

Jade Hill is one of New York’s most upscale villa communities. Isabella, in charge of Prospera Group’s

New York operations, bought a standalone villa there, the famous Number 1 of Jade Hill.

After a shower, wearing a silk nightgown, Isabella had just laid down in bed when a severe pain struck her

stomach, followed by intense nausea and the urge to vomit. She rushed to the bathroom.

Following an ordeal of vomiting and diarrhea, Isabella felt drained. She remembered what Daniel said during the day. Could it be that the jerk didn’t lie to her? Was River really as Daniel described? Did that old man really curse her?

Isabella, living in Florida, was aware that there were indeed many curse masters in the rainforests. Whether River was one, she couldn’t be sure. However, she fetched the business card and called Daniel.

Daniel, fresh out of the shower, was browsing TikTok, entertained by the beautiful girls dancing. They were only slightly better than average, but their dance moves were captivating. Even though Jessica was stunning and curvy, she’d never dance for him in a sexy little skirt.

His phone rang suddenly, flashing an unknown number. Curious, Daniel answered it.

“Who’s this?”

“It’s me,” came a weak female voice.

“Who are you?”

“Isabella.”

“Isabella? Who? I don’t know you!”

Daniel hung up, figuring it was a woman who’d dialed the wrong number. But as soon as he did, she called

again.

“Aren’t you a pest? It’s late, don’t you sleep?”

“I’m the one from The Jade earlier today. You said River cursed me and my dad.”

“Ah, it’s you? Didn’t you say I’m crazy? Weren’t you going to have me committed?”

Daniel’s tone was skeptical, but this was the opening Isabella needed to confront the possibility that Daniel had been telling the truth all along.
