Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 136

As soon as Daniel walked in with Charlene, a relieved smile appeared on Isaac's face. He immediately stood up and said, "You're right on time, Daniel."

"I bet you were getting impatient, Mr. Hayes." Daniel chuckled.

Isaac glanced at Charlene.

"This is Charlene, the CEO of our company. She's planning to buy some items at the assembly. Ms. Geller, this is Mr. Hayes from Southgate Alley. He's quite an influential figure in this area." Daniel introduced them to each other with a smile.

A hint of surprise flashed in Isaac's eyes at the word "CEO". The idea of someone like Daniel working for others seemed unlikely. As the eldest son of the Ashcroft family, he would never stoop to something like that.

His gaze shifted to Charlene's face, and a look of understanding flickered in his expression. He suddenly realized that this was Daniel's type.

Still, he wouldn't spoil Daniel's mood. "Ms. Geller, if you managed to bring Daniel under your wing, you must be quite capable. I look forward to working with you."

"You flatter me, Mr. Hayes," Charlene replied politely.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Daniel could hardly wait and asked. "When does the Immortal Assembly begin?"

Isaac gave him a look. "We can head there now. I'll take you to the location of the assembly. Daniel, are you planning to bring only Ms. Geller with you?" he asked.

Daniel nodded. "Would you like to come with me too, Mr. Hayes?"

Isaac let out an awkward laugh. "To be honest, I'm being watched, so I can't go myself. That's why I entrusted this to you."

Daniel had already suspected as much. Now that Isaac had admitted it, he had nothing more to say.

Nothing came for free after all. Risks were part of the deal.
