Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 The Reason 

“Two years ago, my mom was possessed by a spirit for the first time. This is already the fifth time she was possessed.” Jessica said gloomily. 

Alex froze but quickly added, “Don’t be frightened.” 

However, Baron said, “Your mother will die if she’s possessed four more times. If I’m not wrong, the spirit is using your mother’s body to replenish its strength. When it reaches the ninth time, the spirit will absorb everything, and your mother will die’when that time comes.” 

Upon hearing that, Jessica’s heart dropped with a thud. She got even worried when she saw Alex nodding. 

“You have a sister that passed away when she was seven or eight years old, right?” Alex asked as he looked. towards the graveyard. 

There was a newer gravestone that looks like it was only two or three years old. Alex guessed that it belonged to Jessica’s father as the gravestone’s inscription read: In loving memory of Peter Saffin. 

“H–How did you know?” Jessica was shocked. 

Jessica did have a younger sister, but she died in an accident when she was only eight years old. 

How did Alex know? 

“You just have to let me know if I’m right or wrong.” Alex said. 

“Yes. She’s my younger sister. When she was eight…” Jessica nodded. Alex interrupted her before she finished her sentence. 

He thought about the spirit’s appearance and said, “She was shot in the forehead when she was eight, right? Was that how she died?” 

Jessica nodded her head vigorously and looked at Alex dumbfounded. 

This is our family’s secret. I can’t believe Alex figured it all out! 

She just couldn’t understand how Alex knew about it at all. 

Nevertheless, Alex didn’t say anything else. 

He already had a rough idea of what had happened. 

A mystic art practitioner had detained the spirit of Jessica’s sister and trained it to torment and kill the Saffin family. 

This person must loath the Saffin family to the point where they were willing to do such a malicious thing. 

Maybe Jessica’s father was killed by that person too. 

So, who could it be? 

What grudge do they have against the Saffin family? 

But even so, it’s still abnormal that they’re using such an evil method. 

“Did your father have any enemies when he was still alive?” Alex asked as he studied the geomancy of the Saffin family’s ancestral tombs. 

I have to say, the geomancy here is great. 

The graveyard was situated at the node of the mountain. 

With the graveyard as the dividing point, the mountains on the East stood tall and majestic. There were lush trees everywhere, representing the family’s academics and nobles. 

The mountains on the West were much even, and there was more earth exposed. It represented the family’s wealth and health.
