Chapter 340 

“This is the end of the meeting!” Simon stood up and left without saying another word. 

The people in the office looked at each other in confusion. 

Did something really go wrong? 

However, hadn’t Mr. Hernandez recently acquired many industries under the Pembroke family? 

Logically speaking, the company should have reached new heights. 

Could it be that the acquisition process did not go smoothly? 

Everyone’s eyes fell on Gavin Johnson. 

“That’s all for today’s meeting. Revise the plan according to what Mr. Hernandez just said, and I will inform you of the next meeting 

time.” 

Of course, Gavin could not reveal anything to them. 

After speaking, he immediately packed up his things and went after Simon. 

Deep down, he understood. 

Other than Miss Bailey, there was no one else who could make Mr. Hernandez reveal such an expression. 

As expected. 

As soon as they got in the car, Simon immediately gave orders. 

“Go to the Bailey residence.” 

“The Bailey residence? Has Miss Bailey returned home?” Although Gavin had some doubts, his actions were quick and decisive. 

Without the slightest hesitation. 

“Yes,” with a nod, Simon replied. 

However, his brows were tightly furrowed. 

From the looks of it, he seemed to be worried about something. 

“Mr. Hernandez, has something happened?” Gavin finally asked after a moment of hesitation. 

“If your girlfriend’s parents want you to break up with her, how would you make them change their minds?” Simon rubbed his temples with a headache. 

“Miss Bailey’s parents don’t agree with the two of you?” When Gavin heard this, his hands holding the steering wheel could not help but tremble. 

In the backseat, Simon’s gaze turned cold in an instant. 

Gavin immediately realized that he had said something wrong and tightly pursed his lips. 

Then he continued. “If my girlfriend’s parents don’t agree with our relationship, I think… I will definitely show 100% effort, both materially and emotionally, to assure them that they can trust me with their daughter.” 

“Both materially and emotionally?” Simon narrowed his dark eyes. 

“That’s right. Isn’t life just about two things, money, and emotions?” Gavin replied. 

Simon remained silent, casually tapping the armrest with his fingers. 

He suddenly thought of something and looked up. 

“Let’s go back to the villa first.” 

“Huh? Aren’t we going to the Bailey residence?” Gavin was a little surprised. 

“Let’s go back first!” Simon’s attitude was very firm.

“Yes!” Gavin did not dare to ask further. 

He immediately turned the car around at the next intersection. 

Meanwhile, Marina held her phone and waited for Simon’s response, but she did not receive any. 

Could it be that she had scared him off? 

It shouldn’t be. 

Simon’s endurance should not be that bad. 

After all, he had dared to ask her grandfather for permission to marry her. 

Just because of a few words, he gave up? 

No way, no way. 

He was probably busy. 

Marina did not think too much about it and got up to go upstairs. 

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. 

Marina could not help but frown. 

Did the others from the Bailey family come back? 

Marina immediately turned around and went out to check. 

Several cars drove in at the entrance one after another. 

They parked in the courtyard outside in order. 

Marina’s gaze fell on the car at the front. 

If she remembered correctly, this license plate should belong to… 

Just as this thought crossed Marina, the car door was opened in an instant. 

A slender leg stepped out of the car. 

Polished shoes and pants without a single wrinkle. 

Marina’s gaze looked inch by inch upward. 

In the end, it landed on the familiar face she knew so well. 

“Why are you suddenly here?” Marina immediately ran to Simon. 

“I’m here to gain favor.” Simon lowered his head slightly and enunciated each word clearly. 

“Gain favor? What do you mean?” Marina was still confused. 

Meanwhile, Gavin had already begun to instruct others to unload things from the car. 

In just a moment, a dozen bodyguards each held a few exquisite wooden boxes. 

It was obvious that the things inside were valuable. 

“Why are you making such a big fuss?” Marina was getting more and more confused. 

Just as Simon was about to speak, a seemingly harmonious middle–aged couple stood at the doorway. 

“Marina, what’s going on?” Sam glanced at his wife beside him, cleared his throat, and pretended to ask sternly. 

“Well…” Marina looked at Simon and then at her parents. 

For a moment, she really did not know how to explain. 

Just a moment ago, her mother told her that she did not agree with her relationship with Simon. 

And now Simon showed up at their doorstep.

If she said anything more, would her mother ask Simon to leave directly? 

Marina had yet to figure out how to approach the situation. 

Simon stepped forward directly. 

I am Simon Hernandez. I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Bailey have returned to the residence, so I came to pay a visit.” 

Simon’s tone was neither servile nor overbearing, but full of respect. 

There were not many people in this world whom Simon respected so much. 

“No need for unnecessary formalities. We have no connection between our families, so there’s no need for you to act this way.” Mary’s tone was extremely cold. 

“Mom.” Marina called out. 

Then she gave her father a meaningful look. 

Sam could not stand Marina’s gaze and finally turned his head to look at Mary beside him. 

“He’s a guest. Besides, he’s a junior. Let them come inside first before we speak.” 

As soon as Sam finished speaking, Mary immediately gave him a look. 

Sam’s head lowered a little. 

However, Mary still gave him face. She only gave a cold glance at Simon before turning around and entering the house. 

Seeing this scene, Sam finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

With a smile on his face, he looked at Simon. 

“Don’t take it to heart. She has always been like this. Let’s go inside first and talk.” 

“Mrs. Bailey is a straightforward person. I believe you like her for her authenticity.” Simon had a faint smile on his face. 

“That’s right. I like her always being true to herself. I fell in love with her at first sight.” When Sam heard this, the smile on his face became even more genuine. 

“Mr. Bailey, you indeed have good taste.” Simon continued. 

“That’s a must. You, young man, seem to match my temperament. Do you play chess?” Sam then carefully sized up Simon. 

This young man did have a charming appearance. 

When he stood next to their daughter, the couple indeed looked like a perfect match. 

The babies they would have would surely be good–looking and cute. 

“A little.” Simon’s thin lips parted slightly. 

“Then, play a round with me.” Sam perked up immediately upon hearing the answer. 

He grabbed Simon into the house

“Simon!” However, Marina, on the side, immediately shouted when she heard her father wanting to play chess with Simon.
