Chapter 368 Became a Fool
"You went through all that trouble to get me here..." Isabella lifted her eyes and scanned the room, then looked at Delmar with a cold gaze and contemptuous tone, "That's it?"
Delmar stared at Isabella with uncertainty and alarm. Before he could say anything, the next second, his neck was gripped by a slender, cold hand.
Isabella grabbed Delmar by the neck and lifted him up.
As Delmar struggled, he saw Isabella's pupils turn a rigid, fossil-like black.
An invasive force was crazily stimulating his brain.
Delmar felt as if a hand had reached into his head, stirring his brain matter, causing him unbearable pain.
Delmar's entire face turned red, veins bulging on his forehead.
A few seconds later.
Isabella released her grip.
Delmar crashed heavily to the ground.
After Delmar sat up, his entire demeanor had completely changed.
He looked around with confused eyes, showing a childlike bewilderment. When he saw Isabella, he immediately hugged her legs tightly and cried out pitifully, "Where is this? I'm scared..."
Kennedy watched this sudden change in scene, a trace of shock flashing in her eyes.
Isabella kicked Delmar away in disgust, "Get away!"
She turned around, untied Kennedy's ropes, and removed the cloth from her mouth.
Delmar was kicked backward by Isabella's powerful kick, his head hitting the nightstand.
Delmar burst into tears with a wail.
"That hurts!"
He was like a three-year-old child, covering his head and crying loudly.
"Why did you hit me?"
Kennedy looked at Delmar in confusion, "What happened to him?"
"He's become an idiot," Isabella said.
Kennedy: "..."
Delmar just became an idiot like that?
There was a type of hypnosis called "Cerebral Usurpation."
She had only heard of it, never thought it actually existed.
But Isabella...
Kennedy looked at Isabella with confusion and shock in her eyes, "You know both hypnosis and ancient martial arts?"
Isabella's hypnosis skills were actually this powerful?
"That's right." Isabella nodded.
Kennedy was stunned, gasping, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The now-idiotic Delmar was crying breathlessly when suddenly he saw stars in the sky outside the window and immediately stopped crying.
He hopped and skipped to the window, clapping excitedly, "Wow! Stars! Such beautiful stars! Stars are shining, so bright!"
Delmar jumped around in place for a while, then ran over excitedly to Isabella.
"Want stars! Get me stars!"
Kennedy looked at Delmar. The current Delmar indeed seemed to have lost his intelligence - whether in behavior or expression, he looked no different from someone mentally disabled.
Isabella really couldn't stand the idiotic Delmar.
She didn't know what had gone wrong.
She pushed Delmar away in disgust and said coldly, "Get them yourself. I don't have time to get you stars."
Then she looked at Kennedy, "Let's go."
Kennedy and Isabella were about to leave the place.
Delmar didn't follow them. He rolled on the ground twice, then crawled under the bed and kept making strange noises.
——
After Isabella left, Cecilia had been downstairs the whole time, not going upstairs to sleep.
She knew Isabella had gone to find Delmar.
But she thought that today, neither Isabella nor Kennedy would probably come back. She had heard from Jasmine that Delmar had hired a very powerful hypnotist to deal with Isabella, and in the end, Isabella would probably become a puppet at everyone's mercy and be toyed to death by Delmar.
Although she was also involved in this matter, Delmar said he would take responsibility for anything that happened, and Jasmine also said this wouldn't implicate her.
Even if Isabella and Kennedy died, it had nothing to do with her.
Thinking this way, Cecilia felt somewhat relieved and turned to go upstairs.
Just then, the villa's front door was pushed open.
Cecilia looked over in surprise and saw Isabella and Kennedy coming back.
Cecilia's pupils showed slight shock. She looked at Isabella and Kennedy somewhat incredulously, "You... how did you come back?"
"Cecilia!" Kennedy frowned. She could hardly believe that Cecilia would actually let Delmar in to harm them.
She strode up to Cecilia and grabbed her collar, "You knew what Delmar wanted to do, didn't you? What did Delmar give you to make you willing to let him in? We're roommates - do you have any conscience doing this?"
Cecilia didn't expect Kennedy, someone without ancient martial arts skills, to have such strength. She was pulled and pushed, almost falling.
Cecilia was also somewhat angry, "Kennedy, I didn't want to harm you either. Who told you not to help Delmar?"
"Delmar approached you before to talk. He could help you return to the Hope family. Why didn't you agree? If you had agreed, then Delmar would only have targeted Isabella alone and wouldn't have targeted you."
She really couldn't understand why Kennedy would refuse Delmar. Kennedy had been kicked out of the Hope family like a stray dog. As long as she lured Isabella over, she could return to the Hope family and even regain her footing there.
But that fool Kennedy actually refused.
That's why Delmar also turned his attention to Kennedy. In her view, wasn't Kennedy just getting what she deserved?
Kennedy forcefully released her grip, staring at Cecilia's face and sneering, "Do you think everyone is as mercenary as you?"
Cecilia glared back at Kennedy, "Kennedy, you'll regret this."
"Even if you're so good to Isabella, even refusing Delmar's request, Isabella won't bring you any benefits either."
After saying this, Cecilia huffily went upstairs.
Watching Cecilia's departing back, Kennedy sat down on the sofa somewhat helplessly.
Cecilia was really... beyond help.
——
Cecilia returned to her bedroom upstairs and immediately called Jasmine.
"Jasmine, it's me."
"I'm calling to tell you that Isabella and Kennedy came back."
She was really puzzled about how Delmar just let Isabella and Kennedy go, but she still needed to tell Jasmine this news immediately so that Jasmine would trust her more and consider her a good friend.
When Jasmine heard Cecilia say this on the phone, she frowned slightly.
What was going on with Delmar?
Did his plan fail?
Jasmine hung up directly and called Delmar.
No answer.
At the same time, at Skyline Hotel room 1801.
Delmar's phone had fallen on the floor, and Delmar sat naked on the ground, smearing body wash on himself as if taking a bath.
The entire room was in chaos.
Delmar was "bathing" while saying incomprehensible things.
Delmar's father Wilford looked at this scene with a complicated expression.
"Mr. Puckett, this is what happened. Delmar had booked this room today saying he would rest here tonight. When the cleaning staff passed by, they saw the door was open and Delmar's words and actions seemed off. So after we came in and saw this situation, we immediately called you."
