Chapter 248: Chapter 248 My Wife Is Not My Wife

Scarlett Jennings had helped Clara Stewart to register as an officially certified Ghost Cultivator with Spiritual Affairs. At that time, Clara also added Scarlett as a friend.

Scarlett had fewer than ten friends on Spiritual Affairs, mostly transactional relationships. It was rare for anyone to message her.

So, when the forced notification popped up, Scarlett immediately saw the message from Clara.

This was also the second time Clara had messaged her.

The first time was when Clara successfully threatened and taught a sleaze who cheated people out of money and love, after receiving offerings from netizens.

The second time was now,

[Clara Stewart, "Master Jennings, I took on a request yesterday to teach an abusive husband a lesson, but when I went to scout today, I found that the abused wife’s soul seemed strange. Her soul doesn’t seem to be her own, but I looked closely and it wasn’t Shadow Soul possession. I don’t know what’s going on, please help."]

Scarlett raised an eyebrow when she saw the message. However, before she could inquire further, a third person already connected successfully.

The video connected, revealing a man of about thirty years old on the other end.

The man was handsome, with an air of success in both his attire and demeanor.

His appearance instantly caught the attention of many in the live-streaming audience.

After all, it was rare for a man of this type to seek help in the live-stream.

Especially since the man had a face that seemed very much grounded in materialism.

Perhaps he was still hesitant after deciding to connect. He didn’t speak right away, so Amber Livingston naturally initiated the conversation by asking,

"Hello, Mr. A? Can you tell us about the metaphysical problem you need our help with?"

The man known as Mr. A looked up at her words. His deep eyes glanced towards Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander on the other end of the stream for a long while before he spoke hoarsely,

"I’m not sure if this is just my imagination. I don’t know if you can help me... I suspect... my wife isn’t my wife."

As soon as he said this, the audience in the live-stream perked up, urging him to explain further.

Mr. A was not exactly a fan of the "Inspiration" show; he had stumbled upon the program by chance and chose to connect in hopes of seeking help. He hadn’t expected to be selected.

"I met my wife during our university days. We’ve known each other for seven years and are quite familiar with each other. After graduation, we both got busy with our careers and only officially got married at the beginning of this year, but..."

Mr. A hesitated as he reached this point, then continued with a furrowed brow,

"After getting married, I noticed she seemed like a completely different person. It’s as if she transformed from one person into another. During the seven years I’ve known her, she’s always been gentle and organized with her life. But after marriage, many of her habits changed. She used to love painting and gardening, and she’d make her own pour-over coffee, but since we married, I haven’t seen her pick up a paintbrush. Instead, she enjoys binge-watching shows, shopping, and even her clothing style has changed."

He clearly knew his wife well, as he recounted numerous differences in her habits before and after marriage to the live-stream audience.

The audience listened but seemed unimpressed,

[I think the one asking for help is being a little too sensitive. Many women change before and after marriage; this is normal.]

[Hahaha, isn’t it normal to maintain a persona before marriage? I didn’t dare let my husband know I was a fan of celebrities before we got married.]

[It’s like dating, where you act ladylike at first but later become one of the guys.]

[Girls liking to binge-watch shows and shop is normal. As for changing clothing styles, wouldn’t one change their image after becoming a wife today?]

Viewers began to share their pre- and post-marriage changes in the comments, with most believing that some changes after entering a new life stage like marriage were normal.

Mr. A read the comments with a pained expression. He had clearly heard such opinions before.

Even when he first expressed his suspicions to those around him, they comforted him with similar words.

Each time, it made him doubt whether he was overthinking.

But how could he not understand his own wife?

"No, you don’t understand her. Elsa was truly gentle. She liked little animals but couldn’t keep them due to allergies, so she often donated online to support stray cats and dogs and would occasionally feed the local strays. Even if we disagreed, she would never argue with me. Even when she got angry, she was the type to cry first. We dated for six years; although we weren’t inseparable, I genuinely know her."

As Mr. A spoke, his expression showed visible pain.

"What truly made me suspect she wasn’t herself were her actions behind my back after our marriage. One day, when she went downstairs to take out the trash, I followed her down, planning to go for a walk with her. But as soon as I got downstairs, I saw a stray cat she used to feed approach her, and she kicked it away. I saw clearly the look of disgust and disdain on her face, something Elsa would never have. A person might change, but not become someone completely different."

"I know you must think her gentleness was just a pre-marriage facade, but I don’t believe someone could fake it so thoroughly.

"I even talked to her family; they said she had changed a bit but only showed significant changes post-marriage."

The audience watched Mr. A’s painful expression and listened to his story, gradually realizing things weren’t as simple as they first thought.

After all, a cat lover kicking a cat was obviously a problem!

[Could it be a twin sister switched in? Isn’t that a common plot in novels and dramas?]

[Yes, yes, I thought of that too, but that would be really far-fetched.]

[No way, right? Wouldn’t her family know if it was a swapped twin sister?]

[A simple solution, do a DNA test!]

Mr. A seemed to give a bitter smile at the viewers’ suggestions.

"To be honest, I’ve considered your guesses, and I’ve secretly tried them too.

"I did a DNA test, chose flowers that would trigger her pollen allergy, compared some moles on her body—all showed it was indeed her."

"I even wondered if she had a split personality. But then I noticed she was consciously imitating her old habits. Tell me, can a person with a split personality deliberately mimic the habits of a primary personality?"

Mr. A took a deep breath and regained his calm, controlled demeanor, saying in a deep voice,

"I ruled out all the possibilities I could think of, leaving only one—

"It seems like my wife’s soul has been secretly swapped with someone else’s."
