Returning With A Thousand Favors By Flora Isabel
Chapter 296

Chapter 296 

“Did something happen?” Simon Hernandez, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, asked as he looked at Marina Bailey who 

never once uttered a word. 

“No.” Marina shook her head, but her eyes never left the phone screen. 

Then what are you looking at?” Simon was a little curious. 

What exactly was it that made her so focused? 

Even Simon could not attract a shred of her attention at all. 

“I’m looking at the surveillance footage near Chrislyn Neil’s house,” Marina explained. 

Simon couldn’t help feeling astounded when he heard this. 

“Surveillance footage?” 

” 

“Mm–hmm.” Marina nodded. Then, she adjusted the controls on her cell phone to enlarge the surveillance range a little. 

“There must be a mastermind behind this. They definitely won’t send Chrislyn back without asking for anything. 

“Therefore, they will definitely be secretly monitoring Chrislyn. I have to locate those people hiding in the dark as soon as possible.” Marina explained as she checked the surveillance footage. 

“I know. What I’m confused about is, do you really need to personally keep an eye on something like this?” Simon asked. 

“I’ll feel more at ease if I keep an eye on it myself,” Marina said. 

This was something else. No doubt she only needed to issue Oscar and Lee an order and it would be sufficient. 

However, this time was different. 

This matter involved Chrislyn. 

Therefore, Marina had to do it herself. 

“But you’ll be very tired if you do this,” Simon said with a hint of heartache in his voice. 

He was wondering why Marina was holding her cell phone all the time these few days. 

Previously, he thought that she was playing with her cell phone. To his surprise, she was staring at the surveillance footage. 

“It’s not some labor–intensive work. It’s fine.” Marina did not mind at all. 

Her eyes were still locked on the screen, looking for any suspicious characters. 

Simon did not say anything else when he saw that Marina insisted on doing this. 

If this matter was not resolved, she might very well carry on like this. 

The only thing he could do was to drive the car carefully to give her a smoother ride. 

Jeffery Garcia’s wedding preparation was conducted with great fanfare.. 

It also attracted a lot of attention from the citizens of Janeborough. 

Marina was also busy helping Chrislyn with her wedding during this period. 

Chapter 290 

From the hotel to the decorations at the venue, the banquet menu to the guest invitations, though Chrislyn didn’t need to personally handle these matters, she still needed to make the final decision. 

On this day. Marina was accompanying Chrislyn to have a taste test of the dishes for the wedding banquet in the hotel. 

The head chef was nearby serving them. 

“This time, our wedding banquet, including the appetizers and desserts, has a total of nineteen dishes.” 

“The symbolic meaning is the union will last forever. It uses only the freshest ingredients. Miss Neil, you can try it first. If there’s anything you don’t like, you can let us know any time.” The head chef’s attitude was very respectful. 

“Mm–hmm.” Chrislyn nodded. 

Then, she began to taste the dishes one by one. 

Marina had nothing much to say about these dishes. 

She was just here to keep Chrislyn company as a formality. 

However, just as Chrislyn was communicating with the head chef, a group of people suddenly walked into the restaurant. 

The person walking at the front could not help but be attracted by the beautiful figure in the hall. 

“Mr. Pembroke, did you meet someone you know?” The person behind Yenny Pembroke inquired cautiously when he saw that Yenny had stopped in his tracks. 

“You guys go upstairs first and wait for me,” Yenny instructed his staff before walking straight to the hall. 

“Miss Bailey.” 

Marina was sending a message to Simon when she suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice. 

When she raised her head and saw Yenny standing beside her, she instantly frowned. 

Then, she pretended not to see anything and continued to edit the message that she had not finished editing. 

“What are you doing, Miss Bailey?” Yenny did not seem to mind Marina’s indifference toward him. 

Instead, he looked at the dishes in front of the two women enthusiastically. 

Marina didn’t speak, and neither did Chrislyn. 

However, Chrislyn still stopped what she was doing and looked at Marina somewhat hesitantly. 

“This must be the wife of the Garcia family’s eldest grandson that everyone outside is talking about. She’s indeed beautiful. This can be considered a beautiful union.” Marina didn’t say anything, so Yenny placed his attention on Chrislyn to try to break the ice. 

Chrislyn was not acquainted with Yenny, but the other party had already guessed her identity, so she couldn’t possibly pretend not to understand anything. 

She only podded slightly. 

“Are you taste–testing the dishes meant for the banquet? I have some understanding of this aspect. If you ladies don’t mind, 1 can lend a helping hand. Yenny said and prepared to sit down uninvited. 

However, Marina, who had been sending messages with her head lowered, kicked away the stool behind Yenny. 

Yenny’s body paused in midair in this posture. 

Chrislyn and the people nearby also noticed the unusual atmosphere between these two people. 

“Well, you guys can leave first. I’ll try the food myself. If there are any problems, I’ll look for you guys.” Chrislyn hurriedly. said to the head chef beside her. 

“Yes, Ma’am.” The head chef turned around and left after that. 

One had to know that in wealthy families like those these people hailed froin, there were too many secrets that could not be revealed to outsiders. 

It was better if the restaurant staff didn’t know so much. 

After the head chef and service staff left, only three people were left in the hall, namely Marina, Chrislyn, and Yenny. 

Marina, who had finally sent the message, raised her head then to look at Yenny in front of her. 

“Mr. Pembroke, I thought that after what happened previously, you should avoid me as much as possible.” 

“Miss Bailey, you are so beautiful. How can I avoid you?” Yenny’s expression could be construed as extremely sincere. 

However, Marina only smiled icily. “How does it feel to eat without being able to taste anything? Does it feel good? 

“I’m afraid you can’t even taste the dishes on the table in front of you. With your current state, you still have the cheek to ask me if I despise you?” 

When Yenny heard this, the expression on his face froze for a moment, but the expression quickly returned to normal. 

“Get out of my sight quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing you any courtesy,” Marina said in a somewhat threatening tone. 

She could not help glancing at Yenny’s arm. 

Yenny immediately clenched his fists. 

Thereafter, he revealed a refined and gentle smile. 

“Since you are so hostile to me, Miss Bailey, I shall not impose on you anymore. 

“However, there’s something I still have to remind you, Miss Bailey. Always leave a way out for others so that future encounters are not so awkward. 

“Don’t burn all the bridges behind you for the sake of one person. 

“Otherwise, when you need a way to retreat, you won’t be able to find anything.” There was a deeper meaning in Yenny’s 

words. 

However, Marina’s expression did not change at all. 

She simply played with the cell phone in her hand somewhat impatiently. 

“You don’t have to worry about that. Hurry up and leave.”
